Opening UK bank account-non tax resident
That's actually not true, when you try to open a UK bank account, they do a simple credit check. Same when you claim a company pension. Which they can't do without a UK address, last place you lived in the UK will usually get that credit check. Only a crime if it's in order to steal money. -

Israel’s Disinformation Campaign Against UNRWA
The claim that Israel's actions do not meet the definition of genocide was throughly debated by scores of countries in the ICJ hearing last January. South Africa's presentation, for example: https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k11/k11gf661b3 Here is one more recent report refuting this Zionist talking point that you repeat: "Conclusions 93. The overwhelming nature and scale of Israel’s assault on Gaza and the destructive conditions of life it has inflicted reveal an intent to physically destroy Palestinians as a group. This report finds that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the threshold indicating the commission of the following acts of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza has been met: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to groups’ members; and deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part. Genocidal acts were approved and given effect following statements of genocidal intent issued by senior military and government officials. 94. Israel has sought to conceal its eliminationist conduct of hostilities sanctioning the commission of international crimes as IHL-abiding. Distorting IHL customary rules, including distinction, proportionality and precautions, Israel has de facto treated an entire protected group and its life-sustaining infrastructure as ‘terrorist’ or ‘terrorist-supporting’, thus transforming everything and everyone into either a target or collateral damage, hence killable or destroyable. In this way, no Palestinian in Gaza is safe by definition. This has had devastating, intentional effects, costing the lives of tens of thousands of Palestinians, destroying the fabric of life in Gaza and causing irreparable harm to its entire population." https://www.un.org/unispal/document/anatomy-of-a-genocide-report-of-the-special-rapporteur-on-the-situation-of-human-rights-in-the-palestinian-territory-occupied-since-1967-to-human-rights-council-advance-unedited-version-a-hrc-55/ Regarding the claim that Israel gave up Gaza in 2005: As many have observed, Gaza continued to be an open air prison where Israel controlled entry and exit of goods and people. This meet the definition of occupation under international law, even if settlers and IDF were no longer inside Gaza. "Despite the Israeli disengagement, Gaza is still considered occupied by Israel under international law.[20][21] The current blockade prevents people and goods from freely entering or leaving the territory, leading to Gaza often being called an "open-air prison".[22][23] The UN, as well as at least 19 human-rights organizations, have urged Israel to lift the blockade.[24] Israel has justified its blockade on the strip with wanting to stop flow of arms, but Palestinians and rights groups say it amounts to collective punishment and exacerbates dire living conditions." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip Regarding the collective punishment mentioned in the Wiki above, the Guardian reported in 2012 on Israeli government documents released inder court order covering the period of 2007-10: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/oct/17/israeli-military-calorie-limit-gaza
