Hamas strike on Israel

Agreed, he and most of his cabinet are Zionists. Even Nigel Farage (grifter that he is) has more principles than Starmer….the guy is a charlatan. He certainly has no business being in the Labour Party, he's as right wing as they come.

Certainly a two faced **** considering he prosecuted an ICJ genocide case against Bosnia 11 years ago.

He's literally an expert on human rights, international humanitarian law and the subject of war crimes and genocide (spent a good 25 years working in this area).

Is that so. Seems his government are speaking out of both sides of their mouth again

What are people expecting? Keir Starmer is a member of the Labour Friends of Israel grouping. Despite everything that's happened, he hasn't condemned the genocide. As the previous link shows, if anything he's probably tacitly supporting the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

He's a real nasty piece of work who doesn't have a moral fibre in his body.

Ya ya ya, everyone is lying. All out to get poor little Israel and their allies for protecting the world from unimaginable evil.

Whether its bombs parts to make bombs, parts for planes that deliver them or parts of the rifles used to shoot kids in the head. Its all irrelevant.

They're party to a genocide and are hiding behind semantics, just like you, to justify it.

Starmer is probably doing about all he can given the situation he finds himself in. Anyone not understanding that is likely ignorant though not definitely willfully so benefit of the doubt would be given.

The genocidal Israeli regime should be called out for what it is alright, but while big daddy USA has their back they will continue to leave path of destruction in the region, and with some bad luck the entire world.

It’s the old Roy Cohn (Trump’s former lawyer) strategy. Attack, attack. Never apologise. Control the narrative.
Every sentence spent discussing Kneecap or Bob Vylan is a sentence less discussing the ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the complicity of the UK and most European governments.
If social media and Boards.ie were around in the 1830s there would have been posters expressing outrage at the idea of banning slavery. A decade later posters would be sincerely arguing that the Irish famine was a fantastic opportunity to introduce more profitable live stock grazing in the newly deserted Irish countryside.
A century later posters would be debating if the residents of the Warsaw ghetto had the right to undertake an uprising and pointing to the hundreds of innocent German civilians killed by the “terrorists”.
Jim Crow era US, Apartheid South Africa, the Greek Junta. All would have their ardent supporters and posters to point out the merits of the particular human rights abuses they were supporting.
I suspect that with the benefit of hindsight, when, posters are watching Reeling in the Years in 20 or 30 years time and their grandchildren ask them if they remember the war on Gaza they won’t be defending the scenes on the television as they do today.

The bizarre thing about all this is that Israel and the US practically shafted the UK and the EU last week and didn't even inform them that the US was about to bomb Iran. Apparently, the first Starmer, Macron and Merz heard about it was on their TV news bulletins. The Zionists couldn't give a flying fig about Starmer or the UK.

The Zionist 'lobby' must have some hold over Starmer, Macron and Merz that they can utterly humiliate them like this and even then they can't / won't criticise Israel over its actions in Gaza.

I see the gimpsuit wearing posers have succeeded in redirecting attention from what matters onto themselves

Have Kneecap donated all their earnings from the festival to any aid organisation one wonders?

Several commentators have made the point we wouldn't even be hearing chants like 'Death to the IDF' if Starmer and the EU had been seen to taken decisive action against Israel. It's the total lack of reaction, plus the support for the genocide from the rancid western media that has led to this vacuum.

Would artists need to put 'Israel is committing genocide' on a screen if Starmer, Macron and Merz had already acknowledged this publicly?
