Column: Glenn Fubler On Ceasefire & More
[Column written by Glenn Fubler]
Open Letter to U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer
Greeting Prime Minister Starmer,
Please be urged today to use your Office to facilitate an immediate resumption of the Ceasefire in Gaza. This, to end the continued inhumane devastation being visited on those people – especially the children.
Based on available surveys, a significant majority of UK citizens support a Ceasefire.
This date evokes the spirit which motivated Martin Luther King; who was assassinated on April 4, 1967. King’s example has inspired millions across the Globe; facing terror with an unwavering reverence for All. Within two months of the Bus Boycott, King’s home was dynamited -luckily sparing his wife and new-born child – the first of a litany of terror.
King’s reverence for life led to his April 4, 1967 clarion call opposing his Government War on Vietnam. He had the same consideration for the children of Vietnam, as he did for those of Atlanta, London and everywhere.
My upbringing exposed me to these examples. That inspiration led me, in August 1970 , to facilitate a local response, to the UK Conservative Government’s announced sales of weapons to the Apartheid Regime of South Africa. A small group of us demonstrated near City Hall, protesting UK ‘s announced complicity with Apartheid.
In 1977, while attending King’s College [London]; having been involved in the Anti-Hanging Campaign of two Bermudians, I was summonsed to Westminster for an informal meeting with a group of Labour Lords. However, their optimism that UK principles on capital punishment would apply, did not prove valid at that time. The resultant violence led to the loss of 5 lives, with British troops involved.
However, since that date there remains no capital punishment in any UK Territories.
Since the 1977 tragedy, MLK’s example of ‘non-violence’ took root in Bermuda with no ‘social violence’ since. In 1981, Bermuda experienced its largest ever labour dispute – a General Strike – which ended peacefully. Later that same year a sustained Bermuda Anti-Apartheid Movement emerged, which for more than a decade closely collaborated with the British Anti-Apartheid Movement and the Global movement, doing our part in shifting the U.S, and UK Governments’ positions on Apartheid .
In contrast to the stance of Downing Street at that time, please be encouraged to reflect on the example of Martin Luther King and facilitate a return to Ceasefire in Gaza as a most urgent matter for those children’s lives.
