- Former top judge Lord Sumption and ex-national security advisor Lord Ricketts call for the suspension of UK arms exports to Israel. The pair spoke this morning to parliament's business and trade committee. Other witnesses included Colonel Richard Kemp, a former British soldier who supports the IDF
Should Britain stop selling arms to Israel?
Unequivocally!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely,
Absolutely it's a crime against humanity!
Of course!
Absolutely yes Britain should stop selling arms to Israel as they are committing genocide and breaking international law. Quite frankly our reputation is in tatters.
Correction: Israeli occupation force.
Yes, that is better language the 'state' of israel is nonsense
Viva Israel, a jewel in a sea of sand.
How can Jew occupy where they’re from??? The un made israel
@@user-cd6dg2vs2q crap of the middle east
Go away troll.
Can we just move on from "if there is a risk of genocide" to "government is complicit in a genocide and should be prosecuted"?
Well said.
Ja
Any sane person has long moved to that.
Nope, and Sumption as already been told he is wrong by Judge Joan Donoghue, President of the ICJ. Natasha was correct, he was wrong.
He was wrong, Natasha was correct, according to Judge Joan Donoghue, President of the ICJ.
Should the UK be Prosecuted for aiding and abetting GENOCIDE ???
yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes without doubt.
We can't talk about this anymore... There must be action
I agree. Insane amount of talking but no action . Madness.
@@nickys62 they're talking in circles trying to deny their involvement so that they don't go down with Israel when the time comes... Like when teacher leaves classroom for 10 mins... Comes back w obscenities on blackboard. All the kids sit in silence..no one wants to point the finger .. everyone denies... Or pretends not to know... Exactly how corrupt politicians and cronies behave .. they didn't want to go down with the ship...deny, lie, accuse, fabricate... repeat
Absolutely.What tactic/strategy would take considering the powers and political influence that exist.
@@do7696 guess the laws only apply to us peasants
I am disgusted by all of this from all sides. It's genocide in real time. God save the children.
And the Israeli ones murdered by hamas you reckon ?
@@user-cd6dg2vs2qirritating bot.
No it isn't.
@@AndiWard ww2 wasn‘t either.
@@user-cd6dg2vs2q only 2, sad for them too, but more so for the 14,000 I think 14,000 is bigger number than 2
But I guess it depends
They're white
So better than brown I guess in your views?
Richard kemp... the guy whos charity is funded by israel being asked whether isreal is complying to international law is insane
Kemp what a disgrace of man covering for the war crimes by Is@el.
Exactly. It’s like asking the used car sales men, whether it’s a good car.
He didn't answer the question about doctors sniped.
Kemp.... a well paid barefaced lying b. stard.
😂I’m baffled by this
Israel MUST be brought to JUSTICE!!
The problem with that is the people connected to israel and their plan. Those people are politicians in other countries. USA will never bring themself to justice. England could but i doubt they will. EU is almost a third arm of the usa. But i hope some countries dont wait anny longer. Its already to late but mayby just mayby early enough to stop the biggest problems that could arise in the future if we do nothing.
But not hamas eh hypocrite ?
@@user-cd6dg2vs2qyou missed the point here. Bot.
@@LibraryOFSoundsits too late for palestine i‘m afraid. But this will go down in history as one of the most shamefull chapters.
@@user-cd6dg2vs2qignorant. Have you asked yourself why Hamas even exists. So stupid
All the old men continue talking while the young children of Gaza continue being massacred.
Don't forget all the so-called liberated "feminists" who turn a blind eye to the suffering of other women and their children! They betray femininity.
That's the ploy.
Debate until no more Palestine left
ASHEAMED TO BE BRITISH
me too
Except tehe few exceptions, none of us westerners can be proud of our leaders.
They started it 👹 every where they keep some areas as bone of contention.so they can be benefited and when ever they want they can make governments weak.so still they are trying to rule the world but Britains bastard's child name israHell is over power his daddy 😢😢
Yes except Scotland Wales and 42% of Northern Ireland which hopefully will become reunited with Éire
Which is the Greatest country on Earth as it was the first country to Stand up for the besieged people of Palestine
With ❤️ from India
🇮🇳 🇮🇪 🇿🇦 🇳🇮
For a free Palestine
Shame to majority of MPs AND Sunak
They are guilty as charged.The supporters too.
When a citizen breaks the law we arrest him, when the government breaks the law, what do we do??
One law for me and another for thee
@@brothercaleb2 legs good
You vote for them again, for 15 years continuously?
I hear the frustration in your comment. Until recently I would have said use the courts. Now there's only revolution remaining. The UK is on the coattails of the US. The same monoparty operates from Tory to Labour, there's essentially no difference, they're seamless. They are the same 'arse'.
They arrest citizens
You say Israel I hear barbarism
Is ra eli anagram Is a lier.
You say Isr@el I say racist, colonial, settler state.
You say hamas, I say terrorists.
@@user-cd6dg2vs2qgncd supporter.
@@user-cd6dg2vs2q You should get help
The fact Kemp held the highest position in the UK army should tell us a lot about the mechanisms of UK institution
Dodgy Dave Cameron
Our tax money who voted for this eh
Nobody
The guy that said, finding a needle in a hay stack by burning the hay stack to fing the needle, is a very clever analogy.
Jonathan Lord Sumption is a brilliant man.
Lord Sumption is a "clever" man.
Israel is doing an amazing job at finding the needles without burning all the hay.
@@alhandeen474 Sumption was wrong, Natasha was correct, according to Judge Joan Donoghue, President of the ICJ.
@@AndiWard Tell me more. I mean how many needles have they found, cos they can't find any hostages, apart from dead ones.
Had to chuckle at them asking for Richard Kemp for an opinion (charity FUNDED by the IDF) He can just straight up lie for money essentially
So the IDF is directly influencing this debate. Conflict of interest?
I no 😊 I had to rewind, "did I just read that" who invited him
Spot on
Kemp is a disgrace
Sumption was wrong, Natasha was correct, according to Judge Joan Donoghue, President of the ICJ.
It is horrific and shameful, and this time in the open and clear for all to see. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Oh god, Richard Kemp. 🤮 What a surprise. What a vile individual.
Shame on the Brtish, but they have no shame as history would tell you.
That Colonel just an IDF parrot
Prob find out he is another “ friend of Israel”
Not just arms sales. The UK should stop sending military expertise, personnel and the use of its air bases.
Natasha is literally a lawyer for Israel. She’s biased.
Absolutely...
Don’t say that!….. your being anti semitic !
We're all biased, she has the advantage of being correct in the points she makes
So pleased Lord Sumption has spoken at last. Many viewers on here will alteady have known about this part of the Convention which places UK actions and rhetoric firmly outside international law. I pray this Parliament is punished individually.
"So pleased Lord Sumption has spoken," agreed!
Would of spoken sooner. Operation Cast Lead for just one example demonstrated what they would do to the Palestinians with western arms.
*Should*
Richard kemp was a former idf surely he will support any idf action
Col Richard Kemp B-R-I-T-I-S-H A-R-M-Y 1977-2006
Leader of something called UK friends of izrl idf soldiers.
The main question I wish to pose here is that when and if it is proven in court that it is illegal, will those that ignored the calls and warnings but still approved another deal after WCK incident would undergo trial or at least ousted from office?
But not the 36k of civilians?
@@TheHonestSpeaker sure but I believe the case of the WCK is more likely to succeed than any other. In the end we need them ousted and/or prosecuted one way or the other.
@@TheHonestSpeaker sure but I believe we should lead with the WCK, its our best bet. sorry I want to make it more clear but youtube is deleting my comments.
Can we agree that this government should be prosecuted for complicity in genocide?
Are the judiciary independant? Look at the example in the Assange case.
The fools, the fools have left us our Palestinian dead.
Ireland loves Palestine.
Nice O Donovan Rossa /Pearse touch❤😢😊
I would ask these learned gentlemen. Could members of the British government be found complicit in the crimes being committed in Palestine. Especially as the Prime Minister himself stated that too many people have died.
They hate Gaze people
They are not God loving people
@@fawzilaza9545 who is not?
They! Hate Us All
yeah, so..
@@sjo7505 God loving people love all his creations & will not cause ruins in the face of the earth
How does this affect the Israeli owned arms manufacturers based in the UK Elbit for instance.
Would they be subject to legal action.
What is Natasha from UKLFI doing there?
I cannot stand her
Business.
She was asked to attend. Dope.
@global.explorer she is the odd one out of the three when it comes to British institutional relevance.
@@leslie-annmills-gomez8763 I get the feeling she is looking for love in all the wrong places
Ask Kemp who is paying him whilst he is in Israel and how much.
How does a sane man like Lord Ricketts need to hear from “call me Dave” Cameron to know right from wrong???
1 state solution 1 Palestine, all jews welcome.
...Zionists need not apply. 😁
I LIKE THAT....
Well, there we have it straight from the horses mouth, so to speak. Now, stop sending arms to Palestine 🇵🇸
While these people talk, people die. The Army officer says the IDF are doing all they can to avoid civilian casualties 35,000 have been killed. How does he explain that? Seems he is being blind folded as they take him into Gaza.
They don't need to take him into Gaza, "He is the head of the UK Friends of the Association for the Wellbeing of Israel's Soldiers (UK-AWIS)" Hardly impartial is he.
@@elainewojnicki9610 Correct. If our Generals, who should be in possession of the best intelligence available, chooses to take the line of a particular suspect party. It give credence that we are being led by performing monkeys.
If you watch the full hearing Natasha Hausdorff explains where that number comes from. Safe to say it's not perfectly accurate
Nicaragua has presented its case to the ICJ demanding that judges impose emergency measures to prevent Germany supplying weapons and other assistance to Israel. I'd imagine it won't be long before the UK finds itself in a similar position.
Why can't we sue them for breaking the law?
You do understand that civil and criminal law have completely different court systems? You can't sue someone for breaking any law, or convict someone for a tort. This is simple stuff
Stop weapons now now
Can the MPs implicated be charged?
Thanks for this, Declassified. You're the best money I spend on UK media every month.
Scandalous
Interest5ing to hear Kemp's views since he is a long standing member of Frieinds of the IDf and has show his Islamophobic views for decades and has always supported Israeli actions
I don’t think he is quite telling it how it is
The designated Liar
Would the person who spoke about parts exported feel the same way if weaponry was being supplied to Russia or China for what may deemed malicious purposes?
The fact is the UK government has been given legal advice on all matters ( including the suspension of donations to UNWRA).
Therefore the question should be:
What is the current legal advice being given and does it contravene International Law?
The government should be ordered to publish the current advise.
By the way they cannot hide behind the " We are at War " routine.
The UK is not at war with Palestine - the country the UK supplies is.
well Hamas's allies, the Houthis, attacked British ships, so there is a conflict there
He’s answering not the question that was asked this so called independent army colonel!!!
Thank god we have someone who the government can’t ignore
They care for one thing, the land. The people mean nothing and simply stand in their way.
That decorated british army officer lied
Finally, some sensible people. It's a shame that there aren't more grown-ups in government.
They can both explain their reasons why they do , at the ICC at the Hague .
When a fox is questioned about the feathers strewn in an empty hen house, and then laughs. Should we be surprised?
No Hamas representative was on the panel so idk what you mean
Just found this channel and it’s great to see so many Brits on the right side of history.
Israel owes money for that aid as well…
What I find deeply troubling (other than the statements of intent by Israeli rulers and the consequential genocidal depravities themselves) is the agonizing "debate" as to whether the said atrocities are indeed what they are.
2 State Solution !!
50% Palestina for Palestinians
50 % Kurdistan for Kurds
Gaza for Zionists. They have much to rebuild.
Israel thought WCK staff were Hamas ,just like they say there are non-involved in Gaza and Hamas is in hospitals, homes, UNRWA buildings etc. Its their Standard of Operating Procedures.
We’re up to our necks in this in the UK…absolute disgrace…
Thank you for highlighting DUK…R.I.P. to all the murdered and condolences to the families🙏🙏🙏🙏
So what? If MPs were to be held accountable for all the 'illegal' stuff they did, we wouldn't have a Parliament.
Which is why they is a 💩 government
Why can’t someone like Lord Sumption just call his local police station and request that all those complicit are arrested?
While you talk young lives are being cut short. Your words are empty. Barb
😢
Many excellent points made by these contributors!
As wonderful as Lord Sumption is, clouded by the vile Richard Kemp.
Piers Morgan hope you are watching this and listening to the facts presented by Lord Rickette and Lord Sumptom
Essentail content..
Strong, accurate, and persuasive opinions. Well done and thank you.
IF THATS THE CASE THE ICC SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT OR THE LAW IS A FARCE
What is not illegal, that the western countries do?
Surely the British government cannot claim deniability on the matter when the time comes to render account.
The Balfour Declaration states "His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country." Leaving aside the fact that His Majesty's government had no legal right to give away a country or tract of land belonging to one party to another, it is quite clear that from the start these rights have been taken away from the Palestinians and that Britain has aided and abetted almost every action taken by Israel against Palestinians for decades, most unbeknown to he the majority of the British people, it has and is being done in their name and with tax money paid, I do not agree to this and a growing number of Brits feel the same way. I have no idea how anyone can say everything is being done to protect innocent lives, we can see with our own eyes it is not, is this the mentality of all those involved with the military?
God help humanity 🙏
Doubletalk conveniently ignoring the reasons of the present situation. How can one be so hypocritical?
Exactly who else is left to confirm this is illegal?
The term used in Britain for the people is guilty by Association, so this complicity is association no?
Lord Ricketts our own unelected foreign Secretary am i a bit slow which side is he on
Labour are stalling on legal obligations "because buisnesses". Great clarity from judge.
Stop it now 🛑 ✋
The IDF charity guy knows the MPs are bought and paid for, or that they can be bought and paid for. And he inordinately takes MPs for stupids (and maybe they are, in which case they should not be running the country).
They only heard about the suffering on the radio on April 3rd 2024..
Ok Jack
Uppercrusters are amok
Their interests trump ours, no matter what these fact finding hearings discover.
Since when did criminals and colonials care about the law
I have a feeling that WWII was conducted in the same treacherous way that this one is.
I felt that there is still humanity left in Britain re Palestinians .
not much in the HOP
God bless the guests of the host for their right explainations.
For god's sake, don't you guys get it. Read my lips..."THEY DON'T CARE" they could care even less for legalities. They know they will get away with it. What warning? Who are you warning...amazing man.
Thats a very sad situation
Pack up and go.
our country is not working the Monarchy as stopped our sovereign being as stopped and common law as stopped.
Where the F is US Supreme Court ?
Lord Sumption a giant amongst pygmies!
They know full and well. It doesn’t take anyone to tell them but thanks for telling them. Though I dare say these words will fall on deaf ears and it will be a case of too little too late when they do finally decide “it’s too much now”.
The ones that should prevent it are actually doing it 😊 money took their minds
10:38 wow, you must really think how much she was paid
UK will do whatever America tells them to. Why? Nobody knows but the higher echelon of the UK knows.
After the US, Germany is the biggest arms exporter to Israel.
That doesn't excuse the UK's continuing political support for Israel's genocide but certain people with their own axes to grind should bear it in mind.
If the Hague really acted impartially in who it chose to prosecute then every prime minister since the war would have had their turn in the dock. Sunak has definitely earned his place, as too Starmer.
I saw a video of a 8th year old boy in a Gaza Hospital whose parents were killed in a israeli air strike and who lost both his legs as they were amputated. The hospital is existing on diesel generators as the occupiers shut down the electricity.
We are living in very dark times.
Sumption seems to be glitching out like a robot that got water in its electronics.
