Condemnation of Gaza killings
Thornberry "We condemn unreservedly the Israeli government..."
Watford Labour Party members adopted a motion this month condemning the Israeli Government for the killing of over 60 Palestinian including children and the wounding of over 2,100 others who were protesting on the 70th anniversary of expulsion from their homes.
The motion added, 'We believe Britain’s international role must be an extension of our vision at home – to champion our core values of equality, social justice and opportunity for all. To that end we must strive to safeguard the rights of all human beings that are facing great challenges to secure their freedoms and opportunities.'
The local Party supported the statement made by Emily Thornberry, Shadow Foreign Secretary : “We condemn unreservedly the Israeli government for their brutal, lethal and utterly unjustified actions on the Gaza border”.
