Left-winger responds to news that UK sending heavy transport aircraft from Cyprus to Tel Aviv as Israel bombs Gaza and Lebanon
Former Derby North MP Chris Williamson has blasted Keir Starmer as a psychopath who is acting more in the interests of Israel than of the UK, after news broke that the UK has sent at least one huge RAF transport aircraft to Israel this week that was potentially loaded with troops and munitions.
Williamson posted on Twitter/X in response to a post by Declassified UK:
The transport was sent as Israel’s ground invasion of Lebanon began – and as it continued its mass slaughter of Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
Less than twenty-four hours later, Iran bombarded Israeli military bases in retaliation for Israel’s terrorism, assassinations and genocide. After weeks of silence on Israel’s terror attack using booby-trapped devices that killed and maimed thousands in Lebanon, mostly civilians and including children, Starmer rushed to make a broadcast to UK viewers in which he lied and said Iran had targeted civilians. Israel has since admitted its military airbases and spy HQ were the targets.

Jeremy Corbyn’s analysis in Tribune is available here:

“The West’s failure to bring Israel to justice for its genocide in Gaza has emboldened it to attack Lebanon — and brought the region to the brink of all-out war……
……Our government has fuelled the machinery of war, and their indifference to human life has endangered us all. All of this was entirely avoidable, if only political leaders had the willingness to uphold the universal application of international law.”
Watching another video, I turns out the Russian navy shot down Israeli missiles heading for Lebanon. Netanyahu’s unconstrained belligerence and American kow-towing to his every whim, is endangering the world.
