“At present, the lede and the overall presentation state, in Wikipedia’s voice, that Israel is committing genocide, although that claim is highly contested,” Wales said. He added that a “neutral approach would begin with a formulation such as: ‘Multiple governments, NGOs, and legal bodies have described or rejected the characterization of Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide.’” Currently, the article bases its position that a genocide exists on conclusions from United Nations investigations, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, and “multiple human rights groups,” among others.

    Brit gov is part of it:

    The government granted 108 licences for military and non-military controlled goods to Israel between 7 October 2023 and 31 May 2024, according to data released in June 2024.

    The Royal Air Force (RAF) has conducted at least 519 surveillance flights around Gaza since December 2023, an investigation by Action on Armed Violence (AOAV) for Declassified UK has found.

    There are many more examples but these are the most obvious.

      Supplying arms is not actively redrawing borders or starting a conflict. Profiteering might still be bad.

        Providing intelligence is taking ACTIVE part in the genocide. Your comment claimed that UK government does not. Profiteering IS bad, you should remove the “might”.

        I haven’t talked about borders or the start of the conflict, you are confusing threads/users. But if you mention it to me, you should read about The Balfour Declaration

        The Balfour Declaration was a public statement issued by the British Government in 1917 during the First World War announcing its support for the establishment of a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine, then an Ottoman region with a small minority Jewish population.
