Two years ago, an attack was launched from Gaza that brought about a response from Israel. The attack was intended to remind Jews in Israel what happened to Jews during the Holocaust. Images were taken of Israelis being murdered and hostages (though not all of them being Israeli or Jewish) were taken. Israel responded, initially with the backing of much of the world. But Israel went too far and openly worked towards the Ethnic Cleansing of Gaza, its actions now being considered by many to be genocide.
Other than the production of parts for the F-35, I think that the UK should be offering no aid or support to Israel. And the F-35 parts being produced can only be justified due to the role of the UK in the production of the fighter. I think that I understand why Starmer has not cut off all support, I suspect this being that he can try to influence Donald Trump, the only man who can actually force Israel to stop the continued murder of so many Palestinians. That and doing so may cause Trump to raise his tariffs on the UK.
While the world is focused on the brutality in Gaza, it is important to remember how Palestinian land is being taken for Living Space (I know the use of this term will open me to accusations of antisemitism) by settlers in The West Bank. Palestinians have been attacked BEFORE the horrors of two years ago, little or no action being taken by the IDF to stop settlers from doing so.
Do I think that he is complicit in genocide? No more so than many other world leaders. But I am fed up of people saying that he is. There are actions that people can take on this matter, they can report Starmer and if he is guilty, action can be taken against him. Will people do that? I doubt it.
