Kyle claims Labour has ‘done everything possible’ against Gaza genocide and ‘disgusted for a long time’

Here he is just in March with Israel’s far-right UK ambassador

If you were asked what it meant to ‘do everything possible’ to stop Israel’s genocide in Gaza, what would you include in the list of ‘everything possible’?

Sanctions? Yes. A complete arms embargo? Definitely. Termination of diplomatic relations? Absolutely. Send the navy, RAF and army to break Israel’s illegal starvation blockade and put a military barrier between the genocidal colonisers and their victims? 100%.

At the very least, you’d think to include protecting UK-flagged ships from Israeli acts of war and piracy and securing the immediate release of abducted British citizens – and of demanding that those responsible for deliberately murdering UK veterans serving as aid workers in Gaza. Right?

The Starmer regime has done precisely none of these, nor anything else meaningful. But Starmer’s front-bencher claims Labour’s done ‘everything we possibly can’ against the genocide, though of course he’d never call it a genocide. He also claims he and his boss have been “deeply moved and disgusted for a long time” by the “conditions in Gaza”.

We know, because he said so on the radio this morning:

Kyle is a former vice-chair of Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) (now there’s an organisation worth proscribing!).

“A long time” appears to be less than four months in Kyle’s estimation, since this was him with Israel’s far-right extremist UK ambassador Tzipi Hotovely just in March this year, both of them grinning ear to ear:

While Kyle may (deliberately) have no clue what ‘everything possible’ means, he and his ‘chief of staff’ appear to know a bit more about it when it comes to stopping constituents from demanding answers and action from them concerning the genocide – since they’ve set the police on at least one to arrest her and intimidate her into stopping emailing them.

If only they pulled their collective finger out half as assiduously when it comes to actually doing anything about the mass slaughter of well over 400,000 innocent civilians in Gaza and counting.
