OK, here's something very disturbing. We know UK aircraft were flying daily surveillance flights over #Gaza for at least the first two years of the current #GazaGenocide.
Here's a senior British military officer saying "in Gaza, from sensing to something firing, seven seconds" thanks to #AI.
If true, that's a #WarCrime

It's a #WarCrime because, in seven seconds, there isn't time to evaluate whether or not it's a legitimate target.

And this in a war which the UK parliament has not authorised, against a civilian population that the UK electorate generally supports.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND why this is not an enormous scandal!
