Top UK MP Brands Netanyahu War Criminal As Palestine Joins ICC

1 April 2015

 -   Senior British Member of Parliament Sir Bob Russell has branded Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal, on the day Palestine finally accedes to the International Criminal Court, paving the way for war crimes trials.

Sir Bob Russell, who tabled a motion in parliament last January that called for the state of Palestine to be recognised by the UK, welcomed Palestine’s accession to the International Criminal Court (ICC) on April 1, 2015, saying it was the first step on the road to the end of the oppression of the Palestinians.

“The fact that they are subject to Apartheid, ethnic cleansing and — wickedly — a breach in international law and the Geneva Convention and United Nations resolutions by the government of Israel,” he told Sputnik in an exclusive interview.

“Israel cannot go on behaving in the way it has in the last 20 to 30 years. The current leader of Israel [Benjamin Netanyahu] is a war criminal. Any way you look at it, he is a war criminal.”

He said the Palestinians were the most oppressed people in the world, since their country was “given away” with the approval of the UK.

  Both sides are, but that’s being true.
