Britain's Sanctions on Israel: A Hollow Gesture of Moral Clarity The UK government's decision to impose sanctions on Israel over its treatment of Palestinians is being touted as a bold stand for human rights and a rebuke to Israel's occupation of the West Bank.
However, this move appears more like a hollow gesture than a genuine attempt to address the complex issues at play.
Andy Burnham's statement that Britain will "continue to act in support of our values" rings hollow when set against the UK government's own record on Middle East policy.
