24 Aug 2025 Speaking to investigative journalist Matt Kennard, retired Major General Charlie Herbert who served in the British Army for more than three decades, expresses his disgust and dismay at Israel's ongoing onslaught in Gaza. He says "I suspect I would have resigned" over this had he still been serving in the British Army given Britain's high level of complicity in Israel's ongoing genocide, and questions why we haven't seen more resignations. They discuss British complicity and participation through spy flights from RAF Akrotiri, the role of the Zionist Lobby in Britain, the recent proscription of Palestine Action and the shattering of Western credibility in the international arena. 0:00 Intro 0:32 Early life 2:30 Finding a voice over Afghanistan 5:50 What was the reaction of your former employer to you speaking out? 8:15 When you talk privately to veteran colleagues, are they outraged? 11:00 How can this not be genocide? 12:10 What did you think the Israel-Palestine conflict was, what do you think it is now? 14:00 “I expect I would have resigned over this” 18:00 The impact of the pro-Zionist Lobby 19:00 People collectively can stop this madness 22:00 Is the UK merely complicit, or actively participating in the genocide? 23:30 We need transparency on spy flights 26:10 The role of RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus 30:30 If the intelligence is for finding hostages we’ve done not a very good job 34:45 Mainstream media has actively supported Israel’s crimes 39:00 BBC is now irrelevant and totally discredited 38:00 Heroic efforts of RAF in Second World War – IDF students training in London and then going back to Gaza during the genocide 40:00 You don’t just blindly follow orders 45:50 Western credibility is totally blown 48:40 Head of Israeli Air Force coming to UK 51:00 Airdrop footage from ITV – they already knew what was going on 52:00 Congrats on Shadow R1 contractor story 55:00 The political centre has broken down 55:50 What are your plans for the future? 56:50 Please march! |
