- Lord Ahmad was in front of the Foreign Affairs Committee today answering questions on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza off the back of Israel's relentless assault of the territory.
The Foreign Office Minister was quizzed over the UK's position on the evidence pointing to a man-made famine being perpetrated on Palestinians by Israel.

Are all of these people pretending to be stupid? Seriously? On the 9th of October, the Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said “I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed”. He ordered a full siege. Therefore, it’s no mystery why there’s literally no humanitarian aid getting through into Gaza. Israel is simply doing what that defence minister said they will do.
Yes & they are still using banned chemical weapons from the air.
Not stupid, however , bribes.........
Not stupid, disingenuous. Israel's openly stated stance of collective punishment has just made their cover job that much harder. But they've managed to get away with it for 7 months now and only now has the US threatened to withhold arms.
Their job is to provide cover
Yes Israel shows their true nature. Coward only have the courage attacking innocent and unarmed civilians. Eyes all over the world witnessed
He is lying.....he knows the truth.
He actually laughed because it's so clearly obvious
The gardener knew how to flowering the best road u choose
These puppets are the most barbaric criminals I will ever experience in my life. How do they go home and sit down to dinner with their families and feel free to enjoy their food.
I have never witnessed such criminality in my life. And, these are the monsters who are running the show!
@@jaimiemclaughlin3126 Many of us feel the same, ive not been able to eat due to sheer sadness but try because we need to...i've been everyday hopeful that accountability will come, the trucks will get through and have donated. I know im not the only to donate, where is our governments responsibility to ensure our aid gets through, if even on our part? 🪶
How do you manage that knowing the terrorists Hamas allow this and use people as a human shield
Lord Tariq Ahmed is supposedly a Muslim!!! He and his colleagues have been greenlighting a genocide from day one. They are all complicit in the genocide!!!!
Lucky then that you never saw anything of the Nazi Jews massacres.
Shame on you UK. For ever.
correction : U.K. *politicians*
please don't rope us ordinary folk in with those sewer-bred slime-balls .
Mind Begs the Question:
- Labeling a group of people Rats is Fascist
- Labeling a group of people Human Animals is Not Fascist?
Why? This is nothing to do with the UK. I’m not sure why British politicians are wasting their time on this “non-issue” for the British people.
These rich Tories haven't a clue what famine is.
They know nothing of poverty, disconnected to the point of autism.
And, they couldn't care less!
Western governments have turned a blind eye since 1947 only now are people realising
They know exactly what is going on - they're Nazis, just like the Zionists. Professional liars.
Well, then how did thy get so fat at someone else's expense?
Word salad when there’s a genocide being committed is a disgrace. This is why politicians need bodyguards
There's no genocide in Gaza - the genocide took place on 7 October - where was your concern then?
there is no genocide or famine
there is a terrorist org that you support
@@sharoncarolbrand1645 the ethnic cleansing and land theft started decades before Oct 7th. Do you even know what genocide means?
Wow this started when they arrived in Palestine in 1947 it’s only now that media is showing people the discrimination.
@@sharoncarolbrand1645 1000 people killed isn't genocide.. a tragedy, yes but not a genocide.. 36k (probably a ridiculously low estimate) people killed in Israel is definitely genocidal and to deny it means you haven't got a clue what genocide is.. just to gauge your brain function, do you think what happened to the Native American Indians was genocide?
Nothing but a bunch of liars!
Reprehensible and complicit behaviour!
Mind Begs the Question:
- Pledging unconditional support
- To a State whose policies are
- Starvation,Death Camps,Gas Chambers/White Phosphorus,Dehumanization,Pogroms,Mass Graves,Ethnic Cleansing,etc
- Democratic or Nazi?
The UK should cut off any support militarily, financially and any other support we offer Israel until sufficient aid is allowed into Gaza and the murder of children in Gaza and the west bank stops
I agree 💯 percent unfortunately many of the MPs are in Zionist pockets
They should, but it is obvious they won't. They haven't stopped supplying weapon components, they are providing intelligence & they haven't sanctioned them.
I totally agree but in their agenda war is profit they are war criminals.
480,000 tons of aid have been delivered to Gaza
What must it be like to go home after a days work and look at your kids knowing you have been aiding and abetting genocide all day?
that's how you get genecidal racist society like isnotreal uk and usa. Colonealism is not made by nice people.
we're talking about generaions, hundereds of years. hiding behind rhetoric of freedom and proceperaity. there was no internet back then. nothing has changed, now it's just in your face.
Ask Cameron and Sunak because that is exactly what they have been doing. They are so terrifed of the Israeli lobby in the UK that they will allow genocide to take place, how sick is that?
For them, it's no different than when I stepped on a beetle outside and then came inside to eat a snack
No problem they have no souls!!
''Aid isn't being allowed in'' but we can't say who is stopping it, even tho we know.
How pathetic.
Yes as if the border itself is malfunctioning and it's got nothing to do with the evil " humans" controlling the border. Like " people died"- no, they were killed by Israel- as if the people are mysteriously dying from air diseases. What absolute bs
Yeah, no food for 8 days, but we are putting pressure on them... pathetic !!!!
Very stern words....
@@aries6776 It's just ridiculous and these politicians think we're so stupid we'll belive them.
@@t.dmytryshyn2615absolutely they nothing but they are complicity to the Israel genocidal murderous state
How many days without, oxygen, water and food can Palestinians endure? They must be conducting a test.
What an insult to everyone's intelligence. What a dawn disgrace......The poor people are in the thick of a famine for a very long time. How can shameful
Israel is not at war with Hamas or the Palestinians. Israel is waging war against human rights and thus against humanity itself.
Apparently, Israel waging war on humanity is okay with the US.
My post agreeing with you was swiftly censored by UT. The truth hurts, and must be contained.
My 2 posts agreeing with you were swiftly censored by UT. Shameful.
My 3 posts agreeing with you were swiftly censored. Freedom of speech my foot.
They cannot receive billions every year, unless they prove to the slave master, they have kept their slaves under control!
Evil is not a Matter of Ethnicity, or Religion
It is a Matter of Dehumanisation
Mainly done and encouraged by a particular group of people and their puppets... I'll let you guess which group of people...
The UK government "lets grill each other" but let the criminals run free with all the resources they need and require. But what do you expect from a nation thats been doing this all over the world over the last 300 odd years.
Britain has never accepted its colonial past as being abusive and the impact it had on people. When you live in a previous colony you see the damage every day. The abuse - repression of language and culture, seizure of land, inequity in health, housing, employment . But British visitors see none of it or own it.
Why is he smerking while talking.. disgusting 😔
He's creepy!
The world knows and sees what Israel is doing, and how the U.K-USA is doing; the world will never forgive them!
While your belly is full, it's impossible for you to imagine what starvation is like.
Spot on.
Not to mention most family members wiped out .
I understand thousands of Palestinians have resigned themselves to starvation and are now quietly sitting down in large gatherings waiting for death.
After more than 7 months of literally horrors, they dare to still say that ISRL is our partner, is a democracy, that we raised our concerns and all the b.s. and that we still need to send them 💰 and military aid … pathetic psychos
Totally agree. I think, as in the US, the UK is controlled by the Israeli Lobby.
One wants to scream when you hear this kind of shameful statement.
Shame on Israel
They really think people are stupid
Unfortunately most of the voting public are indeed very, very stupid?
The double speak and grammer gymmastics are mind blowing.
It's just a game to them, whilst people are dying in their thousands.
These politicians are a bunch of liars.
These people have no compassion or empathy you wouldn't know they were Tories
So many words to justify a war on hunger
These people think we are stupid
History will not judge these people lightly.
God will not judge these people lightly!
@@jaimiemclaughlin3126 is this the same god thats allowing all this death?
@@jaimiemclaughlin3126Also those people who support hamas ideology
This horrible minister is making me feel sick 😫
This is too difficult to watch. We need to vote only for Independent candidates and the Workers Party.
I refrain from calling you minister what I actually think of you. Shame on you.
Feel sorry for him.He has to live the rest of his life with this.
This man has never skipped a meal in his life
They can't criticise their masters. You know who
Why is he smiling, there is nothing to smile while children are dying.
Lord Amad looks well fed. Dancing around the question of famine and starvation.
They're wagging their fingers really hard now.
Free Palestine now 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸✊🇵🇸✊
It is hard to tell which is worse, the government or the pathetic opposition.
I really tried to watch it but its so cringy the wording the body language of these civil servants. Thousands of people, children are dying and these idiots are so measured on their answers, shame it's not their families and we might see some urgency and pressure. Free Palestine stop the genocide. Israel, UK, USA, EU all have the blood of thousands of innocent human beings on their hands. SHAMEFUL
Why are we still listening to these charletons? We , the public, must decide that they are unworthy of our respect and their authority annulled. Ignore them and take the matter into our own hands.
Yeah i could not keep watching. Total vomit
famine was used against Ireland too they have been through this failure in humanity
He knows the truth but is afraid of losing his job
It's like listening to the Nuremberg trials all over again.
Liars all!! They know they do not care about anything only thier own butts!! Vote them all out!!
They need to be in a dock under oath to be forced to answer these questions.
Who is this horrible minister 🤔 shame on him
SHAME
What a disgrace to my grandfather’s name Ahmed.
Is manners and pleases and kindness “would you kindly not starve a population please it’s awfully unkind” I don’t understand
"Does the UK Government accept there is FAMINE IN GAZA": I THINK THE QUESTION IS DOES THE UK GOVERNMENT CARES ABOUT THE FAMINE IN GAZA?????
He is struggling to admit that Israel has been showing all it's allies the middle finger.
Grown Humans discussing starving Babies while all of them hold a lot of power
God have mercy on us
And then they will go home to their expensive houses, sip their glass of wine and unwind…
Palestinians aren't being starved by Israel... They just happen to be starving based on what Israel is doing. Totally different 😂
LIES after LIES won't continue
It's a word salad,
How do they become ministers in this country , no wonder why there is so much corruption in uk .
You still don't get it to this day. They do not use starvation as a weapon. They are starving them.
In Russia, a century ago, this kind of arrogance and indifference to suffering lead to the Romanov family having a very very bad day.
Doesnt this government know it. You must have noticed the change to public demonstrations, marches, ability to organise and communicate have all been restricted to point of criminalisation. Its evident change is intended in this country that will cause the average person to draw a line.
I cant believe he asked 'Why is there a famine in Gaza?' Une**inbelievable
I commend those asking the questions. They were very clear - not yes/no questions, but also not open-ended enough to misconstrue.
The strategy of the UK to dodge even the most basic of answers and conclusions is telling enough. It honestly makes me wonder who really has the power here? Because after over 6 months, Israel CONTINUES to act with impunity. And so far, the most powerful of Israel's allies can only muster a meek "guys can you be a little nicer 🥺👉👈."
The US/UK keep pretending like they're playing hardball and actively working with Israel, but the outward impression is they aren't actually doing anything.
Even with human compassion out of the equation - why are our governments okay with coming across so weakly to their own citizens and on the entire world stage?
Samn shameful
Lots of devil worshipping
Those who voted 🗳️ for these scoundrels should know now, they have send a coward to parliament
This is indeed blindness and horrific
I am ashamed that this dancing around what is actually happening is our government. Shocking and shameful. Questioners and those questioned should either look at themselves and resign or speak clearly and honestly.
What a circus!!!!
Imagine if we could simply get an honest answer, like: Obviously we are aware that food is being used as a weapon, but...
Never a straight answer given
Just beg them to do right thing. Shame on you people
Absolutely shameful. Waffling 2.0.
My question is why Cameron and Sunak are not jailed????
Bla bla blaaaaa...Shame on the Arab and Muslim nations in the area allowing this never seen atrocities to take place!
Are you talking about Israel 🇮🇱?
@@bridgetsaenz2774maybe sarcasm? Not sure
The answer is YES
It's absolutely sickening how this man can sit there with a smirk on his face while lying through his teeth.
Duper’s delight
So nothing getting through but the ASSessment is no starvation. Would his neighbours kindly send him some bacon? His intensity and proportionality would suddenly appear to be well within Middle East perspectives. 🥴
The UK Simply reiterates the international obligations on Israel but does nothing to hold them to account. Moot, impotent, gutless responses.
Nothing but words we hear them a million times what we don't see is actions, all of this shit is nothing but P.R.
Glad to see Scottish politicians taking part in this just shows they have empathy not like the Tories who have none
Sounds like selective amnesia to me
How difficult for one with the eyes, ear , brain and heart to say YES, It was used as a weapon.
We need to free the world from politics.
No water no food no light how dare they
Thank God there is no longer hunger in Africa. I don't know when it happened but it's remarkable.
What wrong with the people we are still debating about this
Why is the British parliament wasting time on this issue that has nothing to do with us?
Lying and cheating is your profession, masters at it.
See no evil, hear no evil.
‘Is Iz committed to following international law?’
‘They can see it.’
Children are dying because of hunger blind minister!!!!
NATHANYAHU NEVER had good INTENTIONS for ANYONE STOP it NOW Thank you 🌹
Why are we still asking each other if we believe this or that , when crimes are all over our phone screen.
Omg game of words! Or there is something very wrong with these people!
At the end of the day, UK government knows international law is being broken,so this makes UK government a fully aware partner in the crimes.
People have woken up! We’re seeing the shadow truth that once kept up blind for so long. 🍉
It's so obvious it's right in your face and they still can't do nothing. Disgraced
"There's a definite possibility of a firm maybe that Israel is weaponising famine in Gaza". Assessment procedures? Pathetic.
wow. i have just seen only 3 mins of this and already this guy is crazy. admits that famine has started or will start, admits that israel is not letting aid in BUT israel is not using starvation as a weapon. holy hell man this guy is something else. and he said that with a straight face!
His smirk is infuriating
US and UK double standards.
Why won't these clowns just say yes to simple questions
“They will pay one of us to kill one of us just to say it was one of us” ~ Malcolm x
Wtf?? We can ALL SEE that they are starving them
Israel reopened the Kerem Shalom crossing but no agreement has been reached with Egypt on reopening the Rafah crossing. They should make additional efforts to reassure Egypt that Palestinians will not be pushed into Egypt.
To indict Isreal, would be indicting themselves!
How long can you say 'brink'? When does it go from 'brink' to an actual famine? Going by the Tories slow response it will be years.
