More than 800 serving officials in the US and Europe have signed a statement warning that their own governments' policies on the Israel-Gaza war could amount to "grave violations of international law".
The "transatlantic statement", a copy of which was passed to the BBC, says their administrations risk being complicit in "one of the worst human catastrophes of this century" but that their expert advice has been sidelined.
It is the latest sign of significant levels of dissent within the governments of some of Israel's key Western allies.
Although Israel is obviously going to squeak that this is antisemitism, the truth is that the civil service in Europe and the US are seriously worried about the stance governments are taking.
And cast aside the civil service on these issues, then you’re left in complete ignorance; relying on the whims of the elected (who know about power and squat-diddley else) instead of the professionals.
@shavixmir saidIMHO there is plenty of blame to go around. Israel has clearly provoked this situation by building tract housing on Palestinian land, denying the Palestinian people their own state, and killing Palestinian children in this war. On the other hand, it's unrealistic to expect Israel to sit idly by while its own citizens are slaughtered by Hamas, or any other Muslim group that simply wants to wipe them off the map. I can't offer a solution to this mess because I don't have one. This is just one more reason I turn off the TV and sit in a quiet room at night with my chessboard and an endgames book.

@mchill saidIt’s also against international law to support a regime which is murdering 7.000 children a month.

No matter what the cause is.
And this will reflect badly upon us. Hence the decision by the civil sevices to speak out (which is something not done lightly).

@earl-of-trumps saidThat is certainly not the point of view from the combined civil services.
Israel believes in a one-state solution and so do I,,, Palestine, from the river to the sea.

@shavixmir saidCivil service for the most part are parasites on the productive, straight away putting them in the extreme left state worshippers band, their opinions hold about as much value as shatmixer pseud boys opinions, they can STFU and serve.

Actually their opinions hold value in that they can be used as indicators that the opposite is likely true and good.
Again shag doody for brains unquestioningly repeats hamas propaganda.

@shavixmir saidExactly what I was saying about the opinions of the tics, maggots, fleas that make most of the civil service, if they choose to work for the goobermint they can tow the line, get on their knees and carry on their boot licking, no one wants to hear their opinions about anything.

@wajoma saidWhat a useless tosser you are, it’s a civil servants job to give non partisan legal advice. Of course the UK and US will be found liable for aiding and abetting Israel if it is found guilty of war crimes. If it’s not found guilty of war crimes we will need to redefine the term war crimes.
