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....

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.

Israel has deliberately starved the people of Gaza. It couldn’t have done it without the west's help | Owen Jones 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!

Israeli forces illegally boarded β€˜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.

UK ban on Palestine Action is an abuse of power, high court told Intelligence assessment before proscription found that vast majority of group’s activities were lawful, court hears An intelligence assessment before Palestine Action was banned under anti-terrorism laws found that the vast majority of its activities were lawful, a court has heard. Raza Husain KC, appearing for Huda Ammori, a co-founder of the group, said Yvette Cooper’s decision to proscribe the group on 5 July was β€œrepugnant” and an β€œauthoritarian and blatant abuse of power”.
