Green Party leader Zack Polanski and Your Party leader Jeremy Corbyn have joined calls for the British government to investigate British citizens who have served in the Israeli military.

Polanski signed an open letter organised by Declassified UK and the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood and Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper urging them to “track the movements of Brits who have served in the IDF” and “subject them to secondary screening where necessary at ports of entry”.

The letter called for “robust war crimes investigations in line with domestic and international law”.

    I don’t want people who have brutalised, raped and murdered women, children and the elderly roaming our streets. Once they’ve committed such atrocities, it’s not unreasonable to think that they might do it again.
