The Labour Party is led by a man who has said, "I'm a Zionist without qualification."
Although the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, has
declared Israel to be "The nation-state
of the Jewish people, and the Jewish people alone", and is "not a state of all its citizens",
Keir Starmer, refutes the charge made by Amnesty International that Israel is a
racist apartheid state.
The same charge was also made by the Nobel Peace Prize winner,
Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who in 2014, urged U.S. Presbyterians to vote in
favour of divestment from companies that assist "apartheid" Israel's
occupation of the Palestinian people.
On Monday, the Israeli Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant, called
the people of Gaza, "human animals".
Some 1.6 million Palestinians still live in Israel and account
for 20% of the population. The international community considers Israeli
settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, to be illegal under
international law.
Starmer has been condemned for saying that Israel has the
right to cut off water, energy, and food supplies, to two million people in
Gaza - almost half of whom are children. They have been unlawfully 'imprisoned'
in Gaza for the last 16 years which is blockaded. This has been denounced as
collective punishment for the attack by Hamas on Jewish settlers. Starmer was
once a human rights lawyer but he seems to have a blind side when it comes to
Palestinians and their rights.
Experts from the U.N. have accused both sides in the
Israeli/Hamas conflict of possible war crimes where innocent civilians have
been targeted. They've accused the Israel government of Indiscriminate bombing
in Gaza. The deliberate withholding of water, energy, and food supplies, can
also constitute a war crime under international law.
Both the Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, and Keir Starmer,
believe that displaying a Palestinian flag in the streets of Britain may be a
criminal offence. Nevertheless, Starmeroid has suggested that the Wembley arch
should be lit with the colours of the Israeli flag during England's friendly
against Australia on Friday.
