Memory of victims of Auschwitz has, at times, been violated and instrumentalized in various extreme statements. David Azoulai appears to wish to use the symbol of the largest cemetery in the world as some sort of a sick, hateful, pseudo-artistic, symbolic expression. Calling

Update. Yesterday the Father got a call from the IDF saying between 2-4pm they would not fire on them. This meant they could move around to check on each other. That’s 2hrs where civilians in a church could use the toilets without being killed. Please make this stop. Please.

These alleged crimes are among the worst imaginable. The UK must stand up for international law and give the ICC our full support to deliver justice. We must also suspend arms exports to Israel and press for an immediate bilateral ceasefire and the release of the hostages.
