Starmer’s support for Palestine

[Steph888]

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.

If you’ve read my comment as offering some simple moral absolution for civilian deaths, you’ve seriously mis-read it.

I'll tell you why so you can brush up on your history. Egypt has a problem with the Muslim Brotherhood which has direct links to Hamas. Jordan expelled Ararat as he and his Palestinian brethren tried to overthrow the King when they were guests in his country. They then went to Lebanon and started a civil war against Christians. That's why nobody wants them.

I don't recall any of those costing the UK £3 trillion.

Starmer is a terrible, weak, pathetic man. He's played sectarian Labour party politics with a crucial issue of foreign policy, rewarding a massacre and incentivising terrorists to carry on torturing and starving hostages. By appeasing Islamists he has made life in the UK more corrupted and dangerous. Those men you saw barracking and threatening Jess Phillips? They have power over Labour now. The Muslim Brotherhood money and networks are gaining influence.

The Arabs in that region have repeatedly been offered their own state - on incredibly generous terms, disadvantageous to Israel - and have repeatedly rejected the idea, often torpedoing the process with a fresh intifada. These people are more invested with destroying the state of Israel than they are in founding the state of Palestine.

So if a person is against russia invasion of ukraine, are they antichristian?

Tired of people pulling the antisemite card. These are generals with weapons killing loads of people. Their religion is irrelevant. Is still wrong.

Those people were cunts.

It still doesn't justify supporting genocide.

It's being minimise and downplayed. The threat to British Jews is very very real.
Comments like antisemitism is awful etc etc but followed up by saying something like criticising Israel is not antisemitism. The subtext is clear.

No, not really https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/aug/14/israel-appears-set-to-approve-controversial-settlement-of-3400-homes-in-west-bank

I just hope a future PM will reverse his decision making.

He's done this to save his own skin from his back benchers (nothing new there) and to try to save seats in certain constituencies later down the line.

It's always about him.

Keir first, country second.

No morals, no backbone, no principles.

He's a pathetic, weak man.

This will haunt him just like Blair is haunted by Iraq.

There are 20 hostages. Millions of Palestinians are suffering (and have been for decades). Why do you think the hostages are so special that everything must be about them at all times?

If Netanyahu wanted the hostages back they’d have been home in time for lunch on October 8th.

Those are the exact same people going on the hate marches, probably even running them

We know that the leader of the PSC applied to run a march as soon as 6/10 happened

But we're repeatedly told they're not antisemitic

Starmer is a disgrace.

So its best if they stay in their own country unmolested by Israelis then isnt it.

Criticising the actions of the Israeli government is not anti-semitism. It's humanity! Nobody gets a free pass on their behaviour, be they Jewish, Christian, Muslim or atheist. You cannot silence the world by saying that criticism of anyone Jewish is anti-semitism.

Jeez, I can't believe what you wrote.

Do you KNOW what Hamas did to women and babies? It was vile.

I don't agree with genocide but Hamas started all of this and they STILL won't release hostages.

However, Israel are not without fault and are getting worse! It’s absolutely right that Palestine is recognised as a country! Have you not seen the starving children on the news?

100%

Can you say how?

Do you think they could stop killing Israelis then?

I don't think I can type what I think about this victim blaming comment here.
On October 8th the IDF was still fighting to regain control.

Not all criticism of Israel is antisemitic but most of it is because Israel is always held to a higher standard, a double standard, its actions always ascribed to malice rather than rationality and never placed in the context of their commonality with the actions of all/most other countries.

And Israel is now dropping bombs on the Middle East! Surely you can see we are heading to WW3! There are no winners in this! And do you know what Israel are doing to women and children?
