Mrs. Halima Begum, head of the UK office of the charity Oxfam, condemned British government for selling arms to the Zionist regime. She said these weapons are being used to kill innocent Palestinian children and their parents in Gaza Strip.

In her interview with the Guardian newspaper, Begum expressed dismay over the UK’s policy on the Gaza war, saying London’s action in selling arms to Israel while simultaneously providing aid to Gaza is “intellectually and morally incoherent”.

Begum, also said “the UK’s stance does not make sense”, adding that “Britain should stop selling arms to the Zionist regime”.

“Whether you say they are components or whole weapons [being sold] are a moot point, because individual components collectively constitute these devices that are killing so many innocent people. The UK needs to stop selling these arms. The government can’t simultaneously give humanitarian aid and talk about its aspirations for peace in the region, then also ship bombs – it’s intellectually and morally incoherent”, she elaborated.

Trying to cover up war crimes, Israeli authorities do not allow Begum into the Gaza Strip. But she was “shell shocked” to hear first-hand evidence of the humanitarian crisis from her Palestinian colleagues evacuated from the Gaza Strip.

The executive director of Oxfam pointed out that currently more than 37,000 Palestinians have been killed due to the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip, children are bombarded, suffer from malnutrition and face a possible famine. But the British government still cannot limit the army of the Zionist regime as “it seems that humanity in our existence has gone backwards”.
