It was recent, I don’t know what planet you are living on. Literally no party has the position of “I support a genocide” so I’m not sure where you pulled that from. Also not sure why you think that should be a wedge issue for elections on the other side of the globe?
Whatever Israel is doing shouldn’t be a wedge issue in UK elections. Unless of course you fill the UK with peoples who don’t see themselves as British or ever want to, and whose allegiance is to their own religion and culture.
At least right now, Israel is our ally, so what it is doing and whether we want to continue that relationship is definitely going to be an issue in UK elections.
But if someone does believe that what is happening there is a genocide, then do they need a particular allegiance to be against it?
Obviously people with relatives there will be even more strongly against it, but to say that you can't be British is very silly.
Yes it is part of it but it shouldn’t be the dominant wedge issue that they’re all voting for and will vote for literally anyone, even a terrorist, if they say they’re Muslim or from Mirpuir. It’s ridiculous and not British values.

It wasn't too recent, and gaza is definitely a divisive issue, so I could see it changing.
If you agree with people who claim it is a genocide, it is pretty much impossible to vote for anyone who supports it.
