Analysis: "Britain forced a famine on Ireland, now it’s taking part in the Gaza genocide". "Britain helped exacerbate the Irish famine that happened 170 years ago." Grain, butter, fish & livestock were exported in vast quantities from Ireland, rather than being used to meet the Irish people's needs. Other countries starved or genocided by Britain include Bengal & Kenya. https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/david-cronin/britain-forced-famine-ireland-now-its-taking-part-gaza-genocide #UKStarvation #GazaGenocide #USPol #UKPol #EuroPol #BDS @palestine group . image

Starmer's dangerous message: "Palestinians can only have their basic rights if Israel allows it". Starmer's statement is conditional, "not a genuine step towards justice" or ending the brutality. It's a distraction, "obscuring the UK's complicity & absolving it of its historical & legal responsibilities." "While Gaza’s civilians starve under siege, the UK dangles a conditional promise of statehood."

Analysis: "Israel’s leaders said, explicitly, repeatedly, from the very beginning, that they are deliberately starving Gaza’s people." Western politicians "knew what was happening all along & are complicit." In April 2024, US govt depts told Biden that "Israel was deliberately blocking aid" - which legally required stopping the supply of weapons. Biden overruled it.

Israel has deliberately starved the people of Gaza. It couldn’t have done it without the west
The current hand-wringing by Keir Starmer and other western politicians is empty bluster. They knew what was happening all along, says Guardian col...

Poll: "60% of Americans said they disapprove of Israel's military action". 32% approve. "52% said they see Netanyahu in a negative light - a significant shift from a year & a half ago" & the lowest stretching back to the 1990s. Most who approve of Netanyahu & his actions are older white Republican men.

Most Americans do not support Israel's war on Gaza, polling shows
There are also drastic gaps between Republican and Democrat attitudes to Israel's conduct in both Gaza and Iran

On Starmer's use of Palestinian statehood as a bargaining chip. Worth a watch even just to see a UK pollie twist himself in Orwellian knots to applaud him. Guests: Alan Duncan, UK Conservative MP Carne Ross, Fmr head, Middle East issues, UN Ahmed Najar, Palestinian analyst from Gaza

Why did the UK say it will recognise a Palestinian state?
UK urges Israel to take substantive steps to end the horror in Gaza and commit to negotiations on a two-state solution.

Just more weasely words from Starmer & Macron on Palestinian statehood.... Analyst Marwan Bishara slams the UK & France for attaching conditions to recognizing Palestinian statehood. "Why, after two years of genocide, do Palestinians still not deserve security, sovereignty, & justice?” It's another deflection - a meaningless symbolic gesture. #PalestinianState #UKPol #EuroPol #USPol #GazaGenocide #BDS .
