Video: TORY Malthouse shames Labour over Gaza (again)

Lammy’s mealy-mouthed response is bad enough, but Starmer’s blind support for genocidal Israel’s participation in war crimes and propaganda

Another intervention in the House of Commons by Tory MP Kit Malthouse has – again – shamed Keir Starmer’s wilfully-blindly support for rogue and terror state Israel.

“What is it about the Palestinian people that means they’re less deserving of protection?”

Malthouse challenged Foreign Secretary David Lammy over the British government’s double standards that treat the lives of Palestinian children as less valuable than those of Israelis and Ukrainians – and Starmer’s eagerness to put ‘peace-keeping’ troops in Ukraine while doing nothing to prevent Israel’s mass slaughter in Gaza; he called out the criminality of Israel’s illegal blockade preventing food, water, medicines and more from reaching Gaza’s desperate surviving population; and he demanded to know whether Israel has finally crossed a ‘red line’ that will cause Starmer to take action – a rhetorical question, surely, since there is no crime Israel can commit that will see the cowardly and colluding Starmer intervene:

Malthouse also raised the issue of Israel’s dropping of leaflets on Gaza mocking the Palestinians with the lack of western intervention and threatening them with extermination. This is the leaflet in question:

The leaflet threatened the people of Gaza with forced expulsion or extermination, claimed that that US president Donald Trump’s ethnic cleansing plan for Gaza will “proceed” and mocks them that ‘no one will care’:

No one will notice you, no one will ask about you. You are left alone to face your inevitable fate.

Neither the US nor Europe care about Gaza. Even your Arab states don’t care, they are now our allies, they provide us with money, weapons and oil. They only send you shrouds.

There isn’t much time left. The game will end soon. Whoever wants to save themselves before it’s too late, we are here to stay until Judgment Day.

Lammy’s weaselling response that the way to get back on track is a ceasefire – one that Israel has no intention of agreeing after breaching the first sham ceasefire daily and engineering its collapse before committing the worst mass murder of the genocide so far, killing more than 700 people including more than 200 children – and that he is working for a ‘two-state solution’ that Israel has said it will never accept, is grotesquely inadequate and entirely unsurprising.

Starmer has suspended any Labour MPs who refuse to go along with his support for Israel’s crimes and his war on the UK’s most vulnerable. What is left is worse – more foul, more corrupt, more guilty – even than the murderous Tories, of whom Malthouse, for all his imperfections, is an aberration for his stand for their human rights and against Israel’s unpunished criminality.
