The US has warned the Israeli government not to reoccupy Gaza. What will happen if they do, as is clearly their plan? Nothing. They, we, will do nothing, as we have been doing [nothing], siding with the oppressor, for decades.
People who have condemned the oppressor, such as ex labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, have been publicly condemned for doing so, labelled as being ‘anti-semitic.’
‘One may oppose Israeli policy, resist Zionism, or criticise worldwide Jewish support of Israel without being anti‐Semitic.’
What I am questioning is why, when Corbyn expressed his support for Palestine was he deemed ‘anti semitic’, but when Kier Starmer, Rishi Sunak, Joe Biden, express their support for Israel (who have already killed 10,000 Palestinian’s) are they not deemed to be Islamophobic?
Kier Starmer, current Labour leader (& a former human rights lawyer, by the way), has been the source of much controversy recently surrounding his comments last month on Israel’s ‘right to withhold electricity and water from civilians in Gaza’, and his ongoing refusal to back a ceasefire in Palestine, calling instead for a ‘humanitarian pause.’
Starmer has been claiming that Hamas killed Israelis because they were Jews, which is a dangerous narrative to push.
What’s happening in the Middle East isn’t a religious issue, it’s a human rights issue. It’s about standing up against evil and exploitation.
The blockade of Gaza since 2007 has resulted in almost two million people living in what is widely described as the “world’s largest open air prison”.
Whether right or wrong, Hamas killed Israelis because, when Palestinians have been demanding freedom for decades and no one has been listening, what choice did they have but to do something drastic?
Peace talks failed, so what else was there to do?
Hamas and Palestinians as a whole are people who have been let down by a world that fails to secure their rights. The conflict is not about Palestinians being against Jews, it’s about Palestinians being against having their human rights stripped from them.
So, who are the real terrorists?
