HOPE for an end to the genocide in Gaza is “absurd” when the US and British governments continue to treat Israel as above the law, Glastonbury festival heard today.

Ahmed Alnaouq, co-founder of Palestinian human rights project We Are Not Numbers, told the festival’s Left Field stage how he lost his family after Israel bombed their homes.

“They were slaughtered in the most heinous way … because they were Palestinian,” he said.
