As a spin doctor, I am sometimes asked; 'What is the difference between calling for an immediate ceasefire and Sir Keir's call for a 'ceasefire that lasts permanently? The answer: is Sir Keir is waiting for permission from the US State Department & agreement of the Israelis'.
Keir Starmer has called for a ceasefire that lasts permanently.
Why did it take more than 130 days of bloodshed and more than 28,000 murdered Palestinians?
Because he realises it’s going to cost him political support. Not because he developed a backbone.

Pt 1 This comment of mine on an obituary to Desmond Tutu was removed/censored by The Guardian twice. 'An excellent obituary that amply demonstrates the breath and depth of Desmond Tutu's moral compass. This also extended to his staunch defence of the rights of Palestinians'.

Since the Security Council will be deemed incapable of acting, this now goes to the UN General Assembly, which, can in Emergency Session, adopt; 'Uniting for Peace'. This allows for 'collective measures..including use of armed force'. Armed force was authorised in Korea in 1950.

The IDF are barbarians. Their commanders and political overseers must face justice. Britain should suspend diplomatic relations with Israel.
Statement by

on field hospital attack:
Israeli forces launched a direct attack on the Jordanian Field Hospital in Khan Yunis, employing heavy firepower despite knowing the hospital's location. This is the 4th attack on our field hospitals.

It was a war crime. Since then, the Israeli military have spent 3 weeks levelling Gaza, killing over 11,000 civilians, mainly women & children. They have attacked hospitals, schools and universities in contravention of International Law. I hope you will vote for a ceasefire.

Why can’t some of the Arab leaders be speaking out - and more importantly acting - like Lula?
“What Israel is doing to the Palestinian people is not war. It is GENOCIDE.

This was, for very many people, the day that the Labour Party died.
As Anthony Blinken says that the entirety of Gaza now faces famine here’s what Keir Starmer had to say when this all started.

Wrong on many counts. Had Starmer been championing an immediate ceasefire, there would not have been an SNP motion. As it is, by putting pressure on The Speaker & breaking parliamentary procedure, he has muddied the waters and caused chaos.

Britain needs to break diplomatic relations with Israel & cease any further military co-operation. It is difficult to know what other evidence is needed to persuade Government and Official Opposition, that this situation is simply untenable.

There was a time when BBC Panorama, Newsnight or the late and much lamented World in Action, would have been competing with each other to do what Richard Sanders and Al Jazeera just have.
Al Jazeera's sober, scrupulous documentary about October 7th does much more than simply correct the record. It also raises serious concerns about the failure of British media to examine the Israeli narrative. I write for Middle East Eye:

I think I would vote for a party led by Grace Blakeley. Not one led by Lisa Nandy!

In plain view. A stain on our humanity. Damn Netanyahu, his murderous cabal and all of those in the West, who have enabled this.
Fadi Zant, 9, suffering from malnutrition, is treated after being evacuated from northern Gaza to the IMC field hospital in Rafah. The Gaza Strip faces famine as Israeli attacks continue into the sixth month. -
