- Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden was grilled by the Deputy Leader of the Scottish National Party in the House of Commons over the human rights violations allegedly committed by Israel.
Mhari Black hit out at Mr Dowden over the mass graves uncovered in Gaza and called for the UK to halt arms sales to Israel.
The SNP’s deputy Westminster leader, told the Commons: “Two years ago when mass graves were discovered in Ukraine, this House united in condemnation and rightly treated this graves as evidence of war crimes, which Russia must be made to answer for.
“Yesterday, Palestinian officials uncovered two mass graves outside the bombed hospitals in Gaza. These graves also constitute as war crimes don’t they?”

Dowden's response was a complete disgrace
The UK is a complete disgrace.
If delusion were a person. “We trust the Israeli government to investigate themselves”. ☠️☠️☠️
Yes, and he showed his hipocrecy and the whole hipocrecy of the majority of the British parliament.
😂😂 Jewish people refute Jesus and the so-called Christians are backing them😂 and the Muslims Messiah is Jesus wow
You can't be a Muslim unless you believe in Jesus
When so called israelis came to the land of Palestine they were refugees they were given Palestinian passports
You know it's a public information the Israel has the largest skin bank in the world.. i wonder where they got all of that skin
Asking war criminals to investigate their own war crimes? And signalling to them that you will take their word on anything they'll come up with?
It's garbage isn't it. I can't fathom the logic.
AND! AND… “because we trust Israel”. What a punchline.
A war crime is a war crimes, period.
“The difference, though, is that we can trust the Israeli government”
Yeah, The UK is complicit.
Not even hiding their corruption lol. And why should they?
😂😂😂😂 right on
If you don't think what Israel is doing is evil then you are too.
You are evil for writing this !!!
@@viktoriacostelo8612Not greater than you !!!
@@abootwallysohomow7086so you agree with what Hamas did on October 7th?
@@ChukwubuDike So you agree with Israel bombing all eight universities in Gaza? Almost every hospital? A massive fertility clinic?
Comic politicians. Telling criminals to investigate themselves🤣🤣🤣🤣
A personal message to him "SHAME ON YOU"
Hell voted out, he's getting ready for his p45 slip soon
Dowden proves that he and the rest of the uk gov are totally complicit in this massacare and genocide and Must be held accountable at the IJC. All these war criminals must be held accountable
He just proves the current Tory party are a sad mix of outdated Brideshead relics, friends of David Cameron and bewildered mediocre Christians There are of course the slightly more impressive black hats of the Indo Tory party and the displaced hard core Truss idiots that don't understand a Tory Conservative party has to be exclusive and not stupid enough to believe in full employment or lifting all boats. People of the Liz Truss sort are intellectually challenged products of comprehensives. Thatcher had to face the same sort of fantasies from Reagan and Lawson. Thatcher and Blair hose the correct option and to dump much of the population on long term benefits. They were better off remaining in the Black economy, drinking, screwing,.gambling. As long as they are confined to sink areas and religion is discouraged they die off faster.
Absolutely disgusting
I nearly had to puke when he repeated his answer
Comical. It doesn't matter what they do, they'll always cover for them.
Yeah, let the criminals investigate how criminal they are. It's like letting the police investigate corruption within the police force. Brilliant.
Hamas is a democratically elected government by the way. And under international law an occupied country has the right to resist an armed occupying power. Just as the French resistance did in WWII and were hailed as heroes afterwards. No doubt the Nazis called them terrorists. The Nazis also left many mass graves behind them. But I don't think even they deliberately bombed 35 hospitals.
You are democracy
When that democracy suits Natanyahu
I wouldn’t say hamas was democratically elected. They won a plurality in 06 but there haven’t been elections since. Something like less than 20% of Gaza today even voted in the 06 election.
You're really right.
@@saifalimuhannad2807 thank you for more information on that. But they are the only elected authority at this time, correct? And they are also resistance fighters of an occupying power, which is legal under international law. What is illega,l is occupying another country.. So why is Israel not listed as a terrorist state? They seem to believe they have the right to do whatever they want by violence with complete impunity.
@@revpadma Yes, technically they are the only authority in gaza. One of the reasons for this is that the other (US friendly) fatah party, tried to illegally hold on to power after they lost the election. This allowed hamas to wipe them out and go after their supporters.
With any resistance group it's really hard, the longer they last, the more violent and corrupt they get. Hamas use to be popular for developing social institutions in gaza, like schools and mosques. But now they rarely do that. The paramilitary wing of hamas has more influence than the state building wing because gaza is under constant threat and israel ensures funding towards hamas' paramilitary. Israel use to directly fund hamas as a way of counteracting the PLA (fatah party) and they now fund them tacitly through Iranian and qatari money. The reason for this is that, the more divided the Palestinians are politically (interms of who represents them) the easier it is to take more land from the west bank.
Israel is by far worse than hamas, and unfortunately there's no 'list' that Israel can be put in that would stop them. However, through sanctions Israel can be stoped, like apartheid south africa, and hopefully through international law.
As for hamas, most years, they are too unpopular in gaza, prior to Oct 7th the gazans were protesting them. Hamas uses terror as a form of resistance, but the problem with that is it hurts innocents on both sides and gives israel an excuse to commit genocide. Hamas doesn't care how many innocent israelis they kill, as long as the mission is complete, and this allows for some truly horrible acts. I think of hamas the same way as abolitionists thought of slave rebels. sure they are violent and dangerous (somties evil), but slavery is more evil, more violent and more dangerous, Israel is the same in that sense. Hamas is a symptom, zionism is the disease.
Mhairi: There are 2 mass graves of elderly and the sick with their hands tied behind their back in a destroyed hospital
Dowden: It's ok , it's a democracy , we can trust them.
It never was a democracy
Democracy is not an excuse for terrorism and genocidal behaviour from Israhell.
Disgusting, isn't it. This guy is a puppet.
Jewish democracy. 8 millions of Palestinians can not vote. Like an exclusive private Club Mad in the Middle East.
Humanity is gone 😢
asking an alleged war criminal to investigate their own war crimes, is this a parody?
What a shame 🤮🤮🤮
"We can trust the Israeli government.......".😂
Mass graves in Palestine.
But not in Ukraine!!!
the people who did the war crime, is investigating the war crime 🤔Come onnnnnn!
Criminals in fine suits
The difference is that we can trust the Israeli government....are you listening to yourself or any facts, pal?
Even his side is not supporting his words, look at the faces.
you are asking for the suspect to investigate himself. Very interesting
She is right 🗣👏👏👏👏👏👍🏽
Shameful, trust the perpetrators to investigate themselves 😮
"judge, jury, and executioner."
Ridiculous ...and obvious
You are not going to get a answer from these clowns, and that's really appalling
It is time for Scottish independent.
Mhairi black, can always be relied on ✊
The NHS should have let Harold Shipman investigate himself.
Yep so why didn’t Russia investigate those grave in Ukraine. As for “ democratic Israel” what a joke the world knows it’s not - apartheid has been proven
You can never reach the hearts of someone that doesn’t possess one .
In what world is it appropriate for Israel to investigate itself when it comes to susspected war crimes? Especially when it has proven time and time again that their idea of fair, impartial and truth are vastly different than what the majority of the worlds understanding of those concepts!
THIS is extraordinary; if anyone believes that Israil should ‘investigate’ the mass graves for a war crime.
The lady made a great point may god guide her 🙏
War crime is not always war crime.
In a lopsided justice War Criminals are allowed to investigate their crimes, because they have mighty backing.
The world is still illegally occupied. 😢
Wow abusers will investigate by themselves what a nonsense
UK Racism Africa Black Children Death Famine NO UNRWA Ship Food Truck Air Drops Hospitals Ambulance In 2023, an estimated 6.3 million children under five died, 2.9 million of them in the WHO African Region. This is equivalent to five children under 5 years of age dying every minute. Two thirds of these deaths can be attributed to preventable causes. A third of all these deaths are in the neonatal period. 0:31
Africa needs to rise too. The former colonies have been striped and bled dry and now the ordinary people in the West are starting to see just how inhumane, greedy and criminal these colonial powers are. Humanity must survive. The children must be protected. The criminals must be brought to justice.
@@charshill2978 you are right Islamic Muslim Arab Invasion colonized slavery of Africa in the 650s and 7th century Millions and Millions of Black African Women and Children in slavery by Islamic Muslim Arabs over 1,400 years millions and millions of black women men and children died in slavery at the hands of Islamic Muslim Arabs Invaders Colonialists SLAVERY
The Evil defends The Devil
Let's hold open elections to re-elect countries and states in a 'democratic' way. What do you say Labour?
Investigations will never happen.
Who buried them?
The Israeli did, with hebrew written body bags and the soill is brought in too😮yep whatch other TV outlets!
So the accused invedtigated themselves, sounds totally sensible or dors it? What a .....
Silly man
"that is the correct decision" same rhetoric as Cameron no proof no argument Im right your wrong im a bully but a (for now) a polite bully never vote for this party
Germany was also a democracy in the late 1930s. So this is a ridiculous argument
Calling Israel a democracy nation is like calling Adolf Hitler a sweet little boy.
I guess the cheques cleared
Thanks from France
How is this world getting away with blatant double standards 😡
What are the responce if the mass grave consist of all British subject. Will UK let Israel investigate and accepted the finding by the Israel.
Investigation into Mass Graves
These are the people who pleaded with the world to help them. They told us what was happening. First they told us the hospital was being bombed, specialist departments, wards, outpatients maternity wards. Around the hospitals bulldozers tore up access roads.and then bombed the people trying to find some protection around the hospital entrance. No food water electricity, medical supplies or fuel were let in so people died and the doctors continued to ask for some intervention some help. Then they told us and we could see that tanks encircled the hospital and opened fire on the whole group of patients and staff. After telling them to evacuate they were shot as they began to follow that order. Do you remember the nurse who described trying to move patients on donkey carts. Ambulances and their crew were killed. They told us because there was no electricity the deceased couldn’t be refrigerated so they buried them in the hospital grounds. Because there was no electricity ventilators and incubators couldn’t save the lives of the babies and patients who needed them. Then the hospital was stormed invaded by IDF snipers who opened fire on the whole group. People were run over with tanks and bulldozers people were buried alive. We have first hand testimony of these things and footage filmed by the most courageous journalists so many who died Then the hospitals were completely besieged. And now we can see what’s left behind.
I had a small feeling of hope when their graves were discovered. But to hear “Israel as a trusted democracy can investigate itself! What level of depravity have we sunk to. I am an average 64 year old uk. I have never been so ashamed to listen to Oliver Dowden and Antony Blinkin speak yesterday. Lie after lie after lie after lie investigated and found false. NO BEHEADED BABIES NO SYSTEMATIC RAPE NO INVOLVEMENT OF UNWRA IN OCT 7 NO HAMAS HQ UNDER AL SHIFA….. AND DONT FORGET ISRAELS LIE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION THERE WERE NONE.
What s lot of bull.....
it like trusting a murderer to conduct an investigation to a murder that they did.
Ms. Black you are incredible ❤!
I feel sick when he label Setanyahu government as democratic government. Shame!
Complicity in a genocide or war crime is a crime in it's own right
Hypocrites ! Liar !
How much conserative politicians getting party donation from israeli lobbying?
They trust criminals to investigate their own crimes , extraordinary.
It's like urging murderers to investigate their own murders ...
*I have immensed pity for UK, they used to be great but now US toss them like nonsense*
Wow!
7 hours and only less than 1000 views ?
Exactly ! RUclips is a dirty tricks machine!
That guy i mean i am speech less
Who had the time to do all that it's a war zone area's after IDF soldiers left those places those remaining around there must have done it ask Palestinians 😮
Dowden is a former officer of the Conservative Friends of Israel, and has twice chaired the APPG for British Jews. Dowden has said he feels a "cultural affinity" with the Jewish community - his constituency of Hertsmere has the largest Jewish population outside of London.[
And what can any of these two do about it...
Did he refrain from kicking the Scots in this exchange?
We expect the accused to investigate themselves

it's ridiculous! Can you ever ask to someone who is doing a war crime to investigate about it?
Would you ask to Mr. Putin to investigates war crimes in Ukraine?
Bloody hypocrites. Telling the culprit to investogate.
Good for Mhairi 👏👏👏👏👏👏
You can do anything being democratic.. What a seek world we live in!!
😢😢
Is he slow
who is that guy fooling
People march not because they care only about foreign affairs but because they don't want their government to be embroiled in/starting foreign wars (e.g. take march against iraq war).
So much of tax-payers money is wasted on this and it is the main reason why people flock to the united kingdom. Taxpayers money should be spent within the u.k.!
Does the Palestinians people meet the asylum criteria to be housed in the UK?? Suffering a war and persecution…
big up the free scotts
Democratic isreal 😅😅😅
The double standards
Real evil using Democratic shield . The monsters elites
Satellite imagery pls. 🇿🇦❤️🇳🇮
Get the facts first before you point the finger at
"Democratic government of Isthehell?" An apartheid state that gives rights to the citizens of one religion while denying even the most basic human rights to those of a different race and religion? I got up to 0.53 seconds and then I had to quit because this man's warped, twisted words were so vomit worthy I couldn't take it any longer.
"and your Lord never forgets"
Coran, chapter Mary verse 64
Let the criminals enjoy their crimes for a while with the support of the dark house led by Biden.
Even if they manage to escape the justice of the corrupted institutions. Know for sure that the Justice of THE Knower of all things will prevail.
Wow! So the criminal doing the investigation?! Is like asking Putin to investigate his own crimes in Ukraine 🙂
Why do you keep deleting my comments
this country is a joke. asking a criminal to investigate themselves.
How come , isreal to investigate its self
after war, england cam american stooge. pink floyd, final cut, 1983
Oliver Dowden does of course realise the significance and the comparisons between the treatments of Russia and Israel are stark. However, he has elected to be on the wrong side of history. He will not be easily forgiven for his complicity in this, and it is a fact that Rishi Sunak will be remembered as largely aiding, abetting, and running defence on, the Israeli government’s brutal, genocidal campaign.
No vote for any party this time till Palestine is free .
Shame this guy he is not fit for this job
nobody cares , ii makes me feel sick. REAL hypocrites .
