UK: RAF Deployed 518 Spy Flights Over Gaza Strip

Action on Armed Violence (AOAV) reports: "Between 3 Dec 2023 and 27 Mar 2025, the UK Royal Air Force (RAF) conducted at least 518 Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) flights to the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) using the Shadow R1 aircraft almost daily out of RAF Akrotiri on Cyprus."

In what way does flying these covert spy missions on behalf of Israel help the hardworking British taxpayer?

MP Jeremy Corbyn raised the issue in Parliament of UK complicity in IDF war crimes.

The UK is one of the 25% of UN member states that have not recognized the State of Palestine, joining the US, France, Canada, Australia, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Germany, amongst others.

Why hasn't the UK recognized Palestine, like 75% of the remaining UN member states?

In 2024, UK police provided Israeli embassy staff with information about pro-Palestinian protestors, suggesting foreign interference in UK domestic policy. Since initiating the Nakba in Oct 2023, Israel has killed 54,084 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and wounded or maimed 123,308 others. An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC for crimes against humanity remains active for Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Sources: Link One Link Two

Like the US, the UK has their own version of the American Islamophobia Propaganda Action Center (AIPAC), utilizing British resources to help stamp out Palestinians like "cockroaches," as IDF physician Dr. Sabo Amos proudly posted then mysteriously deleted: The Dr Josef Mengele of the IDF

Israel has never been a good neighbor, but a deceitful, self-serving trashbin for the dregs of Judaism.

This understood, there is no good explanation for aiding this latest leg of the genocide and implicating otherwise good servicepeople to perform on behalf of a Zionist agenda.

It's not just poor planning, it's burning all bridges.

Trump, Nethanyahu and Putin are all untrustworthy, all sociopath, destroying each of their respective societies.

#4: Trumpf, Nethanyahu and Putin are all untrustworthy, all sociopath, destroying each of their respective societies.

And the world. Kindly don't forget the Third Horseman of the Apocalypse: Felon Musk.

Benjamin Netanyahu is astride the White Horse for his Conquest of the defenseless Palestinian people.

Vladimir Putin rides the Red Horse for bringing War to the people of Ukraine and Russia.

Felon Musk is atop the Black Horse for bringing Famine to poor people in the Third World.

Dotard Trumpf mounts the Pale Horse of Death, because everything he touches dies.

An atheist like myself can still enjoy historical, literary, or cultural references.

I look at D. Drumpf as the First Jackass of the Apocalypse. But only when I'm being kind.

Zionism is a terrorist organization.

Disengage all aid. Obviously stop all funding. Remove them from accessing weapons. The simplest of behaviors hasn't been considered. Why?

Because the global "democratic nations" are led by them.

Obviously Mossad threaten to expose why.

"UK: RAF Deployed 518 Spy Flights Over Gaza Strip"

Probably a drop in the bucket compared to the spy flights flown over the Greater German Reich 80 years ago.

It almost sounds like the OP's argument is that the UK should not be on the lookout for terrorists.
