The Metropolitan Police ‘service’ has said that it will take no further action against British citizens who went to Israel to participate in the colony’s genocide and war crimes in Gaza.

In October 2025, Keir Starmer recognised Palestinian statehood in an attempt to distance himself from Israel’s genocide and other horrific crimes. That decision opened the legal gates wide to the prosecution of British Zionists who travelled to participate in those crimes.

Impunity for Israel

As Declassified UK notes, British people who travel to fight in other countries’ wars are usually investigated and can be prosecuted. But those who do Israel’s dirty work – as usual under UK governments whose politicians are heavily funded by Israel and its lobby – get impunity again:

More than 2,000 British nationals served for Israel amid the Gaza genocide, Declassified revealed.

These include Dr Christopher Staveley, who said publicly that he hadn’t killed enough Palestinian babies as an IOF sniper:

If this British Doctor, Eastland Christopher Staveley had fought for any Islamic force instead of #Israel’s #IDF, he would be locked up in prison, not practicing medicine for the #NHS#IsraelTerroristState #NetanyahuWarCriminal https://t.co/TGiY1PYxJM

And university chaplain Zecharia Deutsch:

British-Israeli war criminals belong in prison. So do those in authority who are ignoring Britain’s obligations under international law and giving them a free pass.
