Starmer’s support for Palestine

Am I alone in seeing this as one of the darkest days in UK history?

Never before did I think I’d end up living under a government who reward terrorism.

Starmer and Labour are grotesque. History will not be kind to them. They have now empowered all terrorists and their supporters.

We deserve such better than this reprehensible government. They disgust me.

But it’s Israel who have committed the genocide using the billions donated to them! You are looking down the wrong end of the telescope.

Yes absolutely a genocide they have commited

Killed almost 20,000 children

deliberately shot in the head and chest and burnt

it’s in published reports by UN experts
it’s been documented by unbiased doctors that have seen it with their own eyes

It has not been debunked, what utter tosh.

Babies have been deliberately starved. Children have been targeted by snipers. Medical staff, journalists and their families have been been murdered with intent to stifle truth and prevent healthcare. Entire bloodlines have been deliberately wiped. Witness statements and footage given by countless doctors along with actual footage testify the truth and will be evidenced in court - but sadly not soon enough.

And you in the light of this, air the grotesque view that Palestinians should not be having children? What you are saying about ‘these people’ is that they don’t have the right to exist. It’s vile.

You believe it’s acceptable to send tax payers’ billions to Israel to fund this genocide and to encourage and enable illegal settlers to throw Palestinians out of their homes so that the usurpers can start lives in their stolen houses on stolen land? Where is your morality?

You appear to not understand that evidence has been seen by ordinary people on news feeds all over the world and no amount of denial can erase it. It is pointless conversing with you as you clearly live in genocide denying bubble fed by the Israeli propaganda machine.

I think you have become far too engaged in this issue and can't see beyond what the Hamas propaganda machine wants you to believe..

BTW I never said that the Palestinians were "starving themselves".

Absolutely Agree @Ellen2shoes

Absolutely disgusting to mock starving, wounded children in any country, in any war.

Even above she also posted “who’s feeding the donkeys?”

Very disrespectful and sickening

Far too much evidence and witnesses confirming a genocide from people who have no agenda, no propaganda, no religious reasoning, no motive, nothing, other than a voice for humanity

No-one is "mocking starvation"

Yes, if they can feed the donkeys why can't they feed the people?

A simple question.

No need to get emotive about it.

Donkeys don't eat straw, they eat hay.

And if hay (which is very bulky) can be brought into Gaza, then so can food.

@peasporrige I think you have become far too engaged in this issue

I find this odd. How so more than other posters?

On the contrary, I have felt that my engagement has not been enough. Posting feelings, views and countering misinformation and questioning opposing opinions on this forum helps us all feel that we are contributing to the scrutiny of an abominable situation which is beyond our immediate control.

Does it, really?

Some people need to get out more.

Martymcfly24 · 13/10/2025 23:15

Yes donkeys eat straw...

How strange you don't know that.

@Martymcfly24

Only when they are desperate - it's not a food of choice. Let's see what the experts say -

https://petshun.com/article/do-donkeys-eat-hay-or-straw

and note this paragraph -

To summarize, hay and straw differ in their composition, uses, and physical characteristics. Hay is a nutrient-rich feed for livestock, while straw is primarily used for bedding, mulching, and construction purposes. Understanding the difference between hay and straw is important for farmers, animal owners, and anyone involved in agricultural practices. By using the appropriate material for its intended purpose, we can ensure the health and well-being of animals and optimize the benefits derived from these agricultural products

I'm surprised you didn't know this 🙄

So they do eat it as I said.

Right.
Thanks.

Donkey food, mostly made of straw

Starmer’s support for Palestine

@Zeynah "Thats why ‘intellectual posters’ above who actually had some facts and evidence stopped engaging with your babble."

The very fact you are still engaging shows, by your logic, that you aren't very 'intellectual'

So now we have it from the horse's mouth - or in this case the donkey's mouth. 🙂

Here's your quote again - Thats why ‘intellectual posters’ above who actually had some facts and evidence stopped engaging with your babble."

Zeynah · 14/10/2025 10:18

Where are the names of your history books?
where you quoted all your history from?

Or did you write them yourself?

In this whole situation, I have never come across ANYONE who supports either side , pro Israeli or pro Palestinian, genocide or not, to ever talk about the donkeys

That’s quite embarrassing and a rather desperate resort

and you were still factually incorrect on even the donkeys

Yes they stopped, thank god, they knew they were wasting their time,
And so will I now, as you couldn’t even get donkey food right

but not without letting you know what a good laugh iv had @peasporrige
😂😂
