Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Easter , here is the brilliant KC Michael Mansfield outside of Scotland Yard earlier today.

Thanks to all the teams internationally who compiled the information submitted (including those who archived any relevant social media).

First step in a long process.

Thank you for sharing, thank goodness we have people who will do the work to make these war criminals accountable.

I hope they are held accountable for the crimes they have committed.

What a despicable witch hunt.

Let’s see where it goes. Not far I should imagine.

I wonder if they have irrefutable evidence of the individual soldiers committing these ‘war crimes’ or are accusing them as a whole for serving in the IDF .

I think this is a horrendous act against soldiers who are in the OFF as dual citizens. I hope this quickly fizzles out.

Thanks for sharing this @EasterIssland. It’s a novel approach to try nailing Israel on war crimes via the actions of dual citizens. I like it.

me too. Wouldn’t like to have as my neighbour someone that has committed a crime.

Also it’s not the first time that British soldiers are reported for committing war crimes so don’t think these 10 soldiers should be any different

We don't want war criminals and murderers living amongst us. They are not welcome in our society.

Thank you for sharing.

Driving a bulldozer over dead bodies was one such report. What utter ghouls and there's no outrage about any of it. Just another Palestinians don't matter example.

This is the horrendous act? Submitting a report of alleged offences to the relevant authorities for consideration? Not the actual alleged offences? Do they not reach a threshold for investigation in your opinion? Why not?

If a UK citizen is alleged to have committed offences, there are processes for investigating concerns and for legal consequences if needed. Regardless of the name of the military or paramilitary force in which they're fighting, if a UK citizen is alleged to have committed a war crime, that should be investigated. The alternative is risking having people who have done such crimes walking free in society and presenting an ongoing risk within society without facing justice for their wrongdoing. If the threshold for further proceedings is met, then I hope those proceedings can be undertaken justly, to give fair hearings to all parties. If people are responsible for offences, I hope they face justice within the framework of UK law. If people are innocent, I hope they can also find justice and closure in having their names cleared.
