British Parliament Debating Plan to Bomb Syria

HeadlineDec 02, 2015

Meanwhile, the British Parliament is debating on whether to join the U.S.-led bombing campaign in Syria against ISIS. Prime Minister David Cameron is urging lawmakers to approve the airstrikes. The opposition Labour Party has split on the issue. Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn has long been opposed to the plan. On Tuesday, thousands rallied outside the British Parliament to voice opposition to the bombing campaign. Protester and student Hadi Nasrallah spoke out.

Hadi Nasrallah: “When they’re going to bomb ISIS, many civilians will die. Like tons of civilians will die. I’m speaking thousands, because the U.S. already killed a lot. The U.S. and allies, they already killed a lot. So if the U.K., it’s just going to make it worse.”
