cordshoes Absolutely fuck all chance of the current situation ending well for the Palestinians which ever party wins the GE. We've more chance of seeing a unicorn than a viable, self determining, functioning Palestine.
Starmer has deliberately stripped out all dissenting voices from the party relating to Israel under the banner of combating anti-semitism, Labour Friends of Israel are an extremely powerful group within the party (and therefore the next government) and Israel has shown itself to be one of, if not the most powerful country in the western world in the last 6 months.
Starmer & Labour are just trying to kick the can down the road, and not lose moderate Muslim voters on the issue in the short term. Keep enough onside and win the election. After the election win, he doesn't give a fuck.
This is a man who thinks that withdrawing water and power to a civilian population is legal and proportionate, a man who daren't call for a cease fire until the Australian Prime Minister had for fear of upsetting people, a man who has a career in law and yet is unable or unwilling to call out Israel on their breaches.
Raynor has been seen to be doing the same; "Labour will recognise Palestine but there’s nothing to recognise now". You gormless, lying cunt.
