This parliamentary motion has just been put down by Jeremy Corbyn who is a British Labour Party politician and Member of Parliament for Islington North.

He has been in the House of Commons since he won his seat at the 1983 general election.

Here is the motion...

This House applauds the excellent work of the Free Gaza Movement in highlighting the fact that Israel is imposing collective punishment on the 1.5 million people of Gaza, in contravention of Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention; acknowledges the considerable amount of pressure applied by the Israeli government on a previous (FG) voyage last August; wishes the latest boat travelling from the port of Cyprus to Gaza carrying both a large group of concerned human rights workers and, including among them Palestinian MP - Dr Mustafa Barghouti, and the Nobel Peace Prize winner - Mairead Maguire, as well as medical practitioners and supplies, a safe voyage with no outside interference, and calls upon her majesty's government to take action to ensure that the massive economic, political and humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza is brought to an end as a matter of urgency.

    • The prolem with Israel has been brought up in Parliament on numerous occaisions and never gets beyond the talking stage. Hopefully this may have a better chance as through TV and all the other media the in human treatment of the palestinians plight is being seen world wide.

      The next item on the agenda that should be addressed is The Congo as Zimbabe has been put on the back burner

      I sincerely hope they are able to embark. As for The Congo, did you see article on Gorillas in Wildlife Park, where rebels have taken over and may slaughter these precious souls. I immediately thought of Diane Fosse.
