Starmer’s actions on Palestine were unforgivable www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/07... I am stunned, shocked and appalled by the continuing support Starmer is offering Israel, because that is what he really did yesterday.
Starmer’s actions on Palestine were unforgivable
If you listened to the news this morning, you would think that Keir Starmer has recognised Palestine. He has not. He has come nowhere near recognising Palestine. He is playing games with Palestine....

The current hand-wringing by Keir Starmer and other western politicians is empty bluster. They knew what was happening all along, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

Palestinian activist and participant in the Oscar-winning film, No Other Land, Odeh Hadalin was shot in the chest and killed by an Israeli settler in the Occupied West Bank.

The shooter, Yinon Levi, has been under sanctions by both the EU and the US.

The hubris is extraordinary, turning recognition of Palestine into a bargaining chip w/ a genocidal state.

Starmer thinks this is good enough to hide his complicity. We want recognition, trade sanctions, arms embargo, end of military assistance/training + expulsion of the ambassador!
Breaking News: The UK will recognize the state of Palestine in September if Israel does not agree to a cease-fire with Hamas, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said. nyti.ms/3IQzEj2

Israeli forces illegally boarded ‘Handala’ in international waters, abducting 21 unarmed civilians.
Demand your government end its complicity in Israeli war crimes, ensure the unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid, and call for the immediate release of all crew members.
