USA and UK are both complicit in all crimes in Palestine against the Palestinians. This cowboy tactic that UK used to colonised USA and killing of well over 90% of the red Indian apache natives, will never work in Asia, Africa or Middle East or elsewhere. The colonial days are over and so are the commonwealth days. The world has woken up or is waking up, where injustices of the passed and present will be exposed and shamed and punished. UK and USA should distance themselves from their crimes, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, genocide and not be complicit in more!, these double standards will never work. Palestine will be liberated Inshallah, its just a matter of time. Time is against the zionist apartheid facist racist state of Israel and its backers. From the River Jordan to the Meditterrean Sea, Palestine will be FREE. This is a test, where righteous (Palestinians) will victor over the oppessors (Israel, UK, USA), the world will see the truth and stand with Palestine forever. No more zionist, no more racism, no more facism, no more aparthied. Palestine will be free like Pakistan and India were in August 1947 from the colonial settlement project rule of UK.
