Recent footage, including a second video, has surfaced showing Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) shooting unarmed Palestinian civilians in Gaza, some holding white flags, in what is being called evidence of war crimes. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has been urged to find Israel guilty, with critics arguing that failure to do so would undermine its credibility. ITV and other media outlets documented these incidents, including one in Khan Younis where a Palestinian civilian was fatally shot. UK Labour leader Keir Starmer has been criticized for his response to the violence, including his support for Israel's actions such as cutting off water and electricity to civilians, and his veto on recognizing Palestinian statehood. Starmer's comment that it would be 'unwise to say' if the shootings were war crimes has led to protests and confrontations with Labour MPs like Angela Rayner, who faced outrage for not voting for a ceasefire in Gaza. The Labour Party has also banned branches from discussing the conflict, and a Palestinian man who lost his family was dragged out of a Labour event. Reports suggest the Gaza conflict has resulted in 25,000 casualties.
"Any decent opposition leader would have asked why Britain is providing arms to a country committing war crimes in plain sight? Instead, silence from Starmer." ✍️Opinion by @OborneTweets https://t.co/L8lWIhPPTk
"When even 'moderate' Israeli politicians back genocide, who does Starmer imagine he is going to engage with in Israel for peace talks? Or is his real goal to let Israel do as it pleases indefinitely?" ✍️ Opinion by @Jonathan_K_Cook https://t.co/kxvZhCwbnb
No, Keir Starmer publicly defended Israel's right to cut off water and energy to civilians. That is a war crime. You should also note that the ICJ ordered Israel to allow civilians the necessities which Starmer originally backed Israel in cutting off. https://t.co/RB7XcKM7xA https://t.co/x8r7KVXgYN

How much horror does the world have to see before @Keir_Starmer calls for a ceasefire? #GazaGenocide https://t.co/ykvLEmgHwF
At the @StockportLabour Party meeting @AngelaRayner is heckled by a man who lost family in Gaza & a woman who accuses her of not being a feminist, with "two women dead everyday." The man is brutally ejected by the police & Ms Rayner is met with a chorus of "shame". https://t.co/GcdoJhYqqp
Someone in Stockport Labour called @gmpolice to haul away a grieving man who has experienced unimaginable suffering, for wanting to know why the party's Deputy Leader is silent on the slaughter of civilians in Gaza. This must be what David Lammy meant by "power not protest" https://t.co/K5vKk0DGvZ
How many documented videos of Gazans with white flags being shot would it take to "prove" that @IDF troops are regularly (deliberately or accidentally) killing innocent civilians seeking safety/wanting to escape combat zones? Seriously, "Hamas snipers" can't be behind them all.

They dragged out a Palestinian man whose family had been slaughtered in Gaza. They actually dragged him out. And @AngelaRayner and @jreynoldsMP did nothing, and the crowd just sat there. As someone who joined @StockportLabour aged 15: what a nauseating spectacle. https://t.co/O5Th7NWUvp

"The order is being reversed: statehood, per Starmer’s new position, can only come about through peace talks, even though Israel rejects any talks with the Palestinians. Starmer is treating his party and voters like fools." ✍️Opinion by @Jonathan_K_Cook https://t.co/K4jwjIKGR5
It's been undeniable that the IDF routinely kills Palestinians who are waving white flags ever since last month when they killed three escaped Israeli hostages who were waving a white flag mistaking them for Palestinians. This was just the first time the western press filmed it.

"War on Gaza: Starmer rewards Israel’s genocide with a veto on Palestinian statehood" ✍️ Opinion by @Jonathan_K_Cook https://t.co/7w1lvHca8D
A Palestinian family holding up a white flag - the international symbol of surrender, are then shot, one fatally. It’s very compelling evidence, along with other instances, that war crimes are being committed in Gaza. https://t.co/2mBSTfl2tP
Keir Starmer has not only backed Israel’s massacre - he supported the grave war crime of cutting off water and electricity to a civilian population. So it’s not perhaps surprising that he refuses to condemn another Israeli war crime. https://t.co/sUXgnNDazO
Warning: Video contains disturbing footage. A TV cameraman has captured footage of what appears to be a Palestinian civilian being fatally shot as he carried a white flag in Khan Younis on Monday https://t.co/hX4mk0Oyug
According to the Israeli army, ITV "can only be deemed as an extension of Hamas' propaganda effort to defame the IDF". Why? Because they documented the Israeli army shooting yet another unarmed civilian. https://t.co/UyexvrVRFA
This is the second video we have of Israelis shooting civilians with white flags . Holding a white flag in Gaza makes you a target. If the ICJ doesn’t find Israel guilty it will not exist anymore. https://t.co/AsfHaYCJfn
