Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

UK lawyers seek travel and financial sanctions against Netanyahu (www.middleeasteye.net)

British lawyers have filed a request to the UK foreign secretary to impose financial and travel sanctions on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over crimes against Palestinians.

British law firm Deighton Pierce Glynn made the request earlier this week on behalf of the Arab Organisation for Human Rights in the UK (AOHR UK).

The submission stated that there were reasonable grounds to suspect that Netanyahu’s statements amounted to incitement to commit prohibited acts with an “intent to destroy in whole, or in part, the Palestinian people in Gaza”. Such intent, it said, amounts to incitement to commit genocide.
