I’m feeling too angry with Starmer at the moment to write a post. But I have written to Keir Starmer.
Dear Keir Starmer,
In asking people not to protest about the genocide in Gaza on the anniversary of the horrific Hamas attack two years ago, you are conflating Jews and Judaism with the criminal actions of Nethanyahu and his supporters.
This conflation increases the chance of antisemitism and attacks on Jews.
It is perfectly possible to be horrified by the Hamas atrocities of two years ago, and the antisemitic attacks on Jews in this country, at the same time as being horrified by the ongoing genocide being committed by the Israeli state right now.
Do Palestinian lives not matter? Are Palestinian children disposable?
Your inhumanity and intransigence in continuing to deal with Israel, in ongoing trade and in giving military support, is shocking, despicable, and it makes me ashamed to be British. It is not the protesters who don’t represent British values, it is you.
The majority of the British people, and ordinary people all over the world, are appalled by the genocide in Gaza. Aren't you? If you are, then take some action!
Yours sincerely
Sue Hepworth (Mrs)
