How many deaths will it take for shiny right-wing Labour MP to admit it?
Shadow Health Secretary Wesley Streeting, one of Labour’s worst in a very competitive field, has been the target of numerous protests for the people of Gaza and was even boycotted by hundreds of schoolchildren last week. Last night he again showed when, when he was repeatedly asked whether Israel is committing war crimes against Palestinians – and would not say it.
Instead, he danced around the issue and tried to make sympathetic noises while avoiding the simple truth:
Locals have demanded Streeting’s resignation for his betrayal of humanity. With ten thousand and more killed by Israeli bombing and thousands more physically and psychologically maimed, how many more need to die before Streeting will develop a conscience and demand a ceasefire and for Israel to be held to account?

Plenty of Israeli government talking points there.
Streeting trying to absolve the Israelis of their massive criminality while trying to seem concerned re the immense deaths of man, women & especially children.
China seemingly doesn’t want to invade Gaza. So Russia should, maybe with Chinese resource backing.
They are obliged to invade to stop this genocide, especially as the US is palpably happy to watch Israel subject Palestine to a sadistic punishment-beating genocide.
Streeting is a Zionist. Once you make that your starting point his refusal to call out Israel’s war crimes is understandable – totally despicable and wrong but understandable.
It goes without saying that Israel is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity these crimes are well documented by Human rights groups and cannot be disputed. The President of Israel said on Oct 8th that Israel will not distinguish between Hamas and civilians . Israeli defence Minister said on 8th October said we are not going to allow any food, water or energy into Gaza. Streeting Knows all this yet he is prepared to lose his humanity completely in order to keep his job. disgusting, he does not deserve to live.

His WHAT??
Al-Jazeera has published a very comprehensive analysis of the civilian deaths in Gaza
“GAZA – KNOW THEIR NAMES”.
It is a long read but well worth the effort.

Why are some gentiles more vicious and hateful than Jewish Zionists? It makes no sense.
Don’t be so stupid and racist, Zionism is the new “final solution” and it’s playing out on the Gazan concentration camp.

Death camp
You find me someone as vicious and hateful as that ben-gvir. Christ! I’d rather take me chances under idi amin.
I’d just love to see that prick booted out the back of a plane over downtown Tehran with nowt but a parachute. See how much of a bile-spewing mouthpiece he is then…
Toffee, didn’t know about him so I looked. Great gadfly. It’s another f**** lawyer. Human rights no doubt. The pictures were of him filling his north till it spilled out of the sides. No sign of La Hodge. Could she have been scouting the tables with several doggy bags. Nice touch about the chute, he could use his last moments to wipe his ever grinding chops.
Streeting – The most despicable tool in the box ….. After his boss.
When I visited Auschwitz / Birkenau it wasn’t until we climbed the tower at Birkenau that the enormity of the scale of the killing hit me, what was also clear is this kind of evil is not uniquely German, its in all of us
We know this to be patently true because its in the Jews in Israel
