This is a very brief note as I am still taking a break for family reasons.
A UN Commission of Inquiry has just reported its conclusions that the state of Israel has been pursuing a protracted genocide in Gaza:
This is considered to be a weighty indicator of the eventual ruling of the international court on the genocide case against Israel.
At present, the UN Commission considers there is a duty on all states parties to the genocide convention to do all they can to actively halt the Gaza genocide and restrain Israel. This includes the tool of economic pressure.
Concerns have been raised about NHS bodies purchasing supplies from Israeli companies.
An example of this is an Israeli company which supplies wheelchairs.
A particular issue is that Kings are involved and the Chair of Kings is no other than David Behan the former regulatory chief of the Care Quality Commission. Who one might hope should take extra care to ensure a high level of legal and ethical compliance. Cough.
Campaigners, including trust staff, remain very concerned.
I have been sent this flyer for anyone with an interest in these matters:
All best wishes and see you when I see you.
