Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 June 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Gaza Flotilla.
Gaza Flotilla
In the past 18 months, Israel has killed 1,400 people during Operation Cast Lead. It has also carried out an assassination in Dubai using false passports, and now it has killed people on the high seas. On each occasion, there has been ritual condemnation, as there is today. I support that condemnation, but is it not time for us to take sanctions against Israel, such as lifting the EU-Israel trade agreement? Israel must understand that it cannot act illegally with impunity, and that it cannot kill people on the high seas in the way that it has just done.
