Gazan's can't eat the empty words of world leaders

What the global joint statement on Gaza really meant.

On the 21st July the UK and 28 other countries issued a joint statement on Gaza. See the bold for the corrected version, what it should have really said.

The UK likes doing a statement every two months I had to correct one back in May too

If David Lammy is reading this I can just write the next one for you save me the time of correcting it.

Occupied Palestinian Territories: joint statement, 21 July 2025

We, the signatories listed below, come together with a simple, urgent message: the war in Gaza must end now.

We, the signatories listed below, after having kept silent, stated the ‘right’ of Israel to ‘defend’ itself by killing civilians and turned a blind eye to genocide for 20 months think it is time to make some false gestures.

The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths. The Israeli government’s aid delivery model is dangerous, fuels instability and deprives Gazans of human dignity. We condemn the drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians, including children, seeking to meet their most basic needs of water and food. It is horrifying that over 800 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid. The Israeli Government’s denial of essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable. Israel must comply with its obligations under international humanitarian law.

What is Bibi doing? He has gone all mediaeval on the Gazans. Starvation is ok but not like this, not when it makes all of us look like barbarians. We think Israel should abide by international law before everyone catches on that it is not worth the paper it is written on.

The hostages cruelly held captive by Hamas since 7 October 2023 continue to suffer terribly. We condemn their continued detention and call for their immediate and unconditional release. A negotiated ceasefire offers the best hope of bringing them home and ending the agony of their families.

Let us blame the Palestinians by mentioning the hostages who have nothing to do with the starvation of the Gazans. This way we can attribute blame onto the victims if that doesn’t work we can keep shouting ‘Hamas’ at the Palestinians until they stop complaining.

We call on the Israeli government to immediately lift restrictions on the flow of aid and to urgently enable the UN and humanitarian NGOs to do their life saving work safely and effectively.

Send in the UN that always solves everything, I mean look at Srebrenica it worked there didn’t it.

We call on all parties to protect civilians and uphold the obligations of international humanitarian law. Proposals to remove the Palestinian population into a “humanitarian city” are completely unacceptable. Permanent forced displacement is a violation of international humanitarian law.

Let us tell you about concentration camps. Us Europeans are masters at it. World War II and the Balkans conflict – we know how to do genocide. Bibi needs to listen. These camps do not work. The world will see what you are doing. We are thinking David Lammy screams out raped babies again so he can buy Israel some time to finish off the job.

Again, by calling on all parties, we are attributing blame equally. It is as if the Palestinians have the Israelis under siege and not the other way around.

We strongly oppose any steps towards territorial or demographic change in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The E1 settlement plan announced by Israel’s Civil Administration, if implemented, would divide a Palestinian state in two, marking a flagrant breach of international law and critically undermine the two-state solution. Meanwhile, settlement building across the West Bank including East Jerusalem has accelerated while settler violence against Palestinians has soared. This must stop.

We oppose any steps towards territorial and demographic change. Ignore the fact we didn’t care about this back in 1948 or in 1967 or when we egged the Zionists on after October 7th. It is time we made some insincere political statements whilst still doing nothing practical to stop the Zionists.

We urge the parties and the international community to unite in a common effort to bring this terrible conflict to an end, through an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire. Further bloodshed serves no purpose.  We reaffirm our complete support to the efforts of the US, Qatar and Egypt to achieve this.

We urge the world to come together to do something, only for the US to then veto all further steps at the UN. This is a good ploy the old, ‘good cop, bad cop game’. We want the world to be the good cops and US can be the bad cop. Trump does not mind being the bad guy.

We are prepared to take further action to support an immediate ceasefire and a political pathway to security and peace for Israelis, Palestinians and the entire region.

If Israel doesn’t stop this we will have another meeting and issue another statement in a few months. Until then ‘Go Zionists’
