"McNeil-Willson, [lecturer] in Islamic & Middle Eastern studies at Edinburgh University, said Starmerโ€™s position on #Gaza is becoming โ€œpolitically untenableโ€ after a UN special committee report said the policies and practices carried out by Israel are โ€œconsistent with the characteristics of genocideโ€.

"[The Labour Government is] attempting to redefine the nature of what genocide is, ignoring international law, ignoring statements by the UN....the ICJ and [ICC]."
