Declassified UK: They hated this!

Posted: 23rd June 2026

Since we revealed that over 2,000 British-Israelis have served for the IDF amid the Gaza genocide, not one of them has been prosecuted or even seriously investigated by the Starmer government.

Following our findings, we have put together a campaign demanding justice. Our letter has been signed by prominent figures including Green Party leader Zack Polanski, human rights lawyer Michael Mansfield, anti-apartheid campaigner Andrew Feinstein, genocide scholar Martin Shaw, Palestinian surgeon Ghassan Abu Sittah, as well as over 20,000 members of the public.

The right-wing media has rounded on us and Polanski, the only Jewish leader of a major political party, for signing his name. The pro-Israel lobby and right-wing press want to intimidate people who are demanding basic accountability and the upholding of international law. It’s important not to be cowed.

Two British activists that were kidnapped by Israeli soldiers on an aid flotilla have spoken to Declassified about their harrowing experiences, in their first sit down interview in Britain. Their accounts pull back the curtain on the treatment faced by the near 10,000 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.

Broken bones, sexual assaults and torture techniques, are just some instances revealed by Dasa Raimanova and Kareem Awad, who were captured from their boats on the 18th and 19th of May respectively, while in international waters.

Kareem suffered several brutal beatings at the hands of masked soldiers, while Dasa was taken on the so-called ‘torture boat’, where activists recorded 15 sexual assaults.

The activists are calling on UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper to investigate Israel over the torture and abuse.
