LABOUR HAS LOST ITS SOUL.

Like 86 per cent of Labour Party Members eligible to vote in the recent elections for Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, I declined to. Both candidates are members of the Labour Friends of Israel. So is Kier Starmer!

The role of the Labour Friends of Israel is to promote and protect Israel in politics and the media. As far as I’m concerned, those who receive its funding are on the Israeli payroll.

Following the October 7 attack on Israel that led to the deaths of innocent Israeli civilians, the then Israeli Minister of Defence announced a "complete siege" of Gaza, stating, "There will be no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel—everything is closed". This was the starting gun for the war crime of collective punishment.

Israel was worked up into a rage with lies about ‘beheaded babies’ and ‘mass rape’ repeated by the President of the USA, Joe Biden. The photographs of these horrors that Biden said he had seen never existed.

The lies were repeated by supporters of Israel. These have since been completely debunked in the Israeli press, but they incited an orgy of slaughter. Over 80 per cent of the buildings in Gaza destroyed. At least 70,000 civilians butchered with many more crippled for life. At least 20,000 children murdered. Little limbs amputated without anaesthetic. Enforced starvation. Industrial scale butchery. Our government did no more than murmur disapproval.

Our politicians were happy to ban Russia from the Winter Olympics but refused to support a ban on Israel for crimes worse than Russia has been accused of. When the West Midlands Police recommended cancelling a recent football match involving Macabee, an Israeli football team with an established record of football violence, Starmer implied that those supporting the move were ‘antisemitic’.

Macabee weren’t banned for being Jews. Their supporters were banned for being violent football thugs. The very day before this was discussed in Parliament Israeli police stopped a match between Macabee and another team for precisely the same reason! Are they antisemites?

When the Government recognised Palestinian statehood, the UK was immediately condemned as being ‘antisemitic’ by the Prime Minister of Israel – his standard response to ALL criticism of Israel. Starmer affected upset and incomprehension not seeming to realise that that was precisely what he had alleged in relation to a football match!

The electoral defeat in Caerphilly is just another sign of the train wreck affecting Labour. From long experience I know that when Labour loses its moral authority it loses everything.

People will put up with ‘mistakes’ and policies they don’t like, but they won’t support the slaughter of children. Labour’s complicity in the Gaza genocide has torn its soul out. Starmer bears responsibility. He has brought shame on the Labour Party and on the country.

Why does this idiot behave like this? I used to think he was just ignorant. Now I think it’s because he is entirely in the pocket of the pro-Israel lobby. His membership of the Labour Friends of Israel testifies to this.
