Speaking to investigative journalist Matt Kennard, retired Major General Charlie Herbert who served in the British Army for more
than three decades, expresses his disgust and dismay at Israel’s ongoing onslaught in Gaza.
He says “I suspect I would have resigned' over this had he still been serving in the British Army given Britain’s high level of complicity in Israel’s ongoing genocide, and questions why we haven’t seen more resignations.
They discuss British complicity and participation through spy flights from RAF Akrotiri, the role of the Zionist Lobby in Britain, the recent proscription of Palestine Action and the shattering of Western credibility in the international arena.

Israel, officially the State of Israel, is a country in the Middle East. Located on the southeastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea and the northern shore of the Red Sea. It has land borders with Lebanon to the north, Syria to the northeast, Jordan on the east, the Palestinian territories of the
West Bank and Gaza Strip to the east and west, respectively, and Egypt to the southwest.
Palestine is a geographic region in Western Asia. It is usually considered to include the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Israel, and in some definitions, some parts of western Jordan. The name was used by ancient Greek writers, and it was later used for the Roman province Syria Palaestina, the Byzantine
Palaestina Prima, and the Islamic provincial district of Jund Filastin. The region comprises most of the territory claimed for the biblical regions known as the Land of Israel, the Holy Land or Promised Land. Historically, it has been known as the southern portion of wider regional designations such as Canaan, Syria, ash-Sham, and the Levant. Situated at a strategic location between Egypt, Syria and Arabia, and the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity, the region has a long and tumultuous history as a crossroads for religion, culture, commerce, and politics.
