In April 2025, the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights and the Public Interest Law Centre delivered a detailed, 240-page legal dossier of war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed by 10 British citizens while fighting for the Israeli military in Gaza.

The dossier’s allegations include targeted killings of civilians and aid workers, indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas, attacks on hospitals and protected sites and the forced transfer and displacement of civilians.

More than 70 legal and human rights experts supported the referral. The Metropolitan Police has declined to do anything with it.

Imperial violence is rarely sustained by one perpetrator alone. It requires the soldier, the minister, the arms pipeline, the intelligence channel, the diplomatic cover and, at the end of the chain, the institution willing to say that no investigation will take place.

    MET police will stick their nose into anyone so much as holding up a Palestine banner. This is very much their job as well.

      Yeah, that’s not how anything works.

      The Met are unbelievably useless and corrupt, that’s completely true, but investigation of potential war crimes is the job of the CTP. For once the Met not getting involved is a good thing because they can’t fuck it up.

      This level of journalism from Morning Star is no surprise, but I expected more from Webbe.
