Starmer is such a freak: We'll recognise your statehood *unless* your neighbours stop murdering you. WTAF?

I watched Democracy Now earlier, 'a former Green Beret, who was recruited by the Gaza food sites, reveals rampant war crimes' is absolutely an essential watch today. Be prepared to hear more of the horrors but his personal testimony I hope will be used at the Hague one day.

I’ve reluctantly come to the conclusion that Starmer is an idiot. Listen to him talk for only a moment and hardly anything he says makes sense or is connected to reality. How did he ever pass any exams, that’s what I want to know. Anyhow, at the moment he’s probably waiting to be told by his controllers what to do and say next. Left without instructions he just talks less sense than my youngest nephew who isn’t 2 yet.

Starmer is a criminal who should be tried under the Nuremberg Code and executed. As should they all, starting with the Israeli cabinet, and then the others complicit in genocide: Biden, Sunak, Trump, and Starmer. Capital punishment is repugnant, but an exception should be made for political leaders.

Keir Starmer, made his views public and he wasn't bothered who knew them or what the public's opinion would be of his views regarding Israel turning off water and everything else he's stated.

Lets be honest when Israel started this war only Israel knew what it was they wanted to achieve and how far they were willing to go.

I have never ever in my life witnessed such cruelty to another human being never mind to a population of 5 million.

America is supposed to be the beacon of democracy. That isn't something I've ever believed, just ask the native Americans, I'm sure they'll have a story to tell.

The fact is as of today, nothing will change for the Palestinians, because we are all being told to STOP looking at children being starved and murdered and pay attention to what the Western country's are now wanting to talk about and say When in fact they aren't saying anything different to what they have been saying for god knows how many years, about a two state solution. How do you get Israel to sign up to a two state solution unless you put troops on the ground, this so called UN declaration of the UK and France going to recognize Palestine as a state is nothing more than trying to deflect from their role in genocide.

The western powers are entirely to blame and at the heart of it all Is little England who just walks into a country and on day two thinks they own it.

I don't agree with Countries selling arms to a genocidal Country's like Israel and then offering to rebuild what these arm have destroyed.

It annoys me is when you have the likes of Flynn and Swinney using Gaza as a political flat form for there own gain and then refuse to sign a petition or vote in parliament.

As a lawyer, Starmer must know that the concept of formal recognition in international law requires basic functioning systems that are essential for a state to stand on its own, and are all lacking here.

Beats me how a spy plane can identify a Hamas citizen of Palestine as being a Hamas citizen of Palestine.

Very fine writing Leah and so important that you mention the Jews, even in Israel and some holocaust survivors, who deplore the genocidal carnage in Gaza. Starmer, that former human rights lawyer, knows what's going on and knew what was to come 17 months ago when in unprecedented fashion he got Mr Speaker to cancel the SNP's motion condemning Israel for 'collective punishment'.

Starmer is a bought man and was purchased long before zionist smear campaign of anti-semitism removed Jeremy Corbyn and handed him the prize. He won't recognise the Palestinian territory and even if he did would he be allowed to pause to the supply of munitions or the target intel by the RAF? Israel will pursue its final solution to the end and use all means to kill their foes with the possible exception of gas.
