A SANDFORD man has written the following email to MP Mel Stride:

“I’ve kept quiet about Gaza for too long.

“The horrific, murderous attack by Hamas gave Israel every right to prosecute a war against them, and we should always help Israel defend itself.

“But as time goes on, the Israeli government’s actions seem more and more like genocide.

“Please do whatever you can in Parliament and outside to protect the civilian population of Gaza.

“There needs to be a massive effort, right now.

“Humanitarian aid just scratched the surface.

It needs serious and immediate political action as well.”
