Stop Starving Gaza’s Children - Brighton Sit-in Protests the Complicity of Starmer & Lammy in Israel’s Death by Hunger Policy in Gaza

 ‘Israel Claims to Inherit the Memory of the Jews Who Died in the Holocaust – What They Inherit is the Memory of Those Who Killed the Jews’


Tony Greenstein speech at Brighton Station Sit In 22 July 2025

It was Primo Levi, the Italian Jew who survived Auschwitz who was reputed to have said that the Palestinians are Israel’s Jews. In fact it was his interviewer who said it and he assented to it.

Levi said “Everybody is somebody’s Jew,” to Filippo Gentiloni, from the Italian newspaper Il Manifesto, in an interview published on June 29, 1982. He completed the Levi quote with his own comment: “And today Palestinians are the Jews of the Israelis.” It was the logical extension of Levi’s own quote and Levi's call for the resignation of Begin and Sharon over the massacre of Palestinians at the Sabra and Chatilla refugee camps in Beirut.

Today we face a deliberately engineered starvation of the population of Gaza as the Western world looks on and as the vile Trump administration continues to support that starvation. This includes the mass killing of those who enter the death traps run by the Christian so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Only Zionism could devise a food programme that was really a game of Russian roulette.

The 10th illustration of the IHRA misdefinition of anti-Semitism says that comparisons between Nazi Germany and Israeli policies are anti-Semitic. Perhaps someone can explain how starving a civilian population in the Warsaw Ghetto is any different from starving it in the Gaza Ghetto?

In the meantime child starvation is surging in Gaza. Having barred all journalists from Gaza, because Israel knew that it couldn’t defend what they would see, journalists too are now starving. This is what Zionism has turned out to be, a replication of the Nazis, but this time it is backed by our own war criminal politicians.

Not only are the Palestinians the descendants of the ancient Hebrews but they are now experiencing what the Nazis did to the Jews of Europe at the hands of the European settlers who colonised Palestine.  They are in every sense the real Jews of Palestine unlike the ‘Jewish’ colonists.

The sit-in and protest at Brighton  railway station was called because of the starvation of the Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli state. It is testament to the hypocrisy of the British Establishment and its Tory media mouthpieces that a few weeks ago at Glastonbury the media manufactured one of these moral panics so beloved of our rulers over Bobby Vylan’s chant of Death to the IDF.   

It is difficult to understand the objection of politicians and their BBC mouthpiece to Vylan’s chant. The IDF is no different to the Schutztaffel (SS). It is a criminal organisation of racial supremacists. The death of its genocidaires should cause no one to lose any sleep. It is either them or the people of Gaza who they are starving to death.

Netanyahu likes to claim that the Israeli army is the ‘most moral army in the world’. If that were true then the sooner we disband all armies the better. Israel’s genocidal army has set new records. It dresses up in the underwear of the women it has murdered and plays with the toys of the children who their snipers have shot in the head. It prevents anaesthetics entering Gaza in order that children having their limbs amputated might suffer.

Israel likes to pretend that it inherits the memory of those Jews who died in the Nazi holocaust (no other victims concern it). But as readers of my book will know it was the Zionist movement which led the way in collaboration with Hitler and the Nazis.

There are those who claim that Israel is a refuge from anti-Semitism but Zionism and its bastard creation is the main cause of anti-Semitism.  Not unsurprisingly, given that the so-called representative organisation of British Jews, the Board of Deputies, supports Israel’s barbarities in the name of British Jews, many people hold Jews responsible for the atrocities and are tempted to blame them and worse for the atrocities. This is misguided but understandable.

Speeches at Brighton Railway Station sit-in against Starvation of Gazans - Sami & Youth Action

The best way of combating what little anti-Semitism there is in British society is for Jews to dissociate themselves from Israel, Zionism and what is happening in Gaza. People like Phil Rosenberg, President of the BOD, are the main cause of anti-Semitism in Britain today. This is quite deliberate. There is nothing Zionists like better than anti-Semitism to justify their ethnic cleansing project in Palestine.

Of course the British Establishment and people like the Metropolitan Police’s despicable Commissioner, Mark Rowley, are eager to associate Jews with Israeli war crimes. The British government and the Police pretend that they are concerned about ‘anti-Semitism’ in order to clamp down on Palestine solidarity protests. If that concern was genuine then they would do all in their power to draw a sharp distinction between Jews in Britain and the war criminals in Tel Aviv.

Israeli Soldiers Play Sadistic Games with the Toys of Palestinian Children They Have Murdered

Tonight around 200 people occupied Brighton railway station for an hour last night whilst people chanted ‘Free Palestine’ and other slogans. I spoke first and compared Israel to Nazi Germany pointing out that Israel’s policy today of starving Palestinians in Gaza is no different from the Death by Hunger policy of the Nazi Governor of Poland, Hans Frank.  Frank was hanged at Nuremberg after the war. As I said in my speech both Lammy and Starmer belong in the dock in a fresh Nuremberg trial. Starmer and Lammy are no different from Hans Frank, Streicher and the others Nazis who were hanged.

Those who deny genocide in Gaza today consciously lie like Starmer and Lammy. Genocide scholars like the Israeli academic Omar Bartov, have no doubt about what is happening. All international human rights groups have long ago declared what is happening a genocide. Those who deny genocide in Gaza are no different from those who deny the Nazi holocaust. The Zionists are the Jewish equivalent of neo-Nazi holocaust deniers.

Starmer himself is well known to have said Vukovar and Srebenica were genocides. 1,200 and 8,000 people were killed there.  In Gaza when the dust settles we could be looking at half a million murdered. This snake of a politician is nothing but a cold, calculated, desiccated human being.


Kit Malthouse accuses David Lammy of complicity in the Genocide in Gaza 22.7.25

It is ironic that it wasn’t Labour MPs or even the independent MPs (what has happened to the Muslim MPs who were elected last year? They have gone remarkably silent) but a Tory MP, Kit Malthouse who has been the fiercest critic of the genocide. Yesterday he accused David Lammy of complicity in the genocide. This fat, bumbling, corrupt politician who has taken thousands of pounds in bribes from the Israel lobby, called Malthouse’s accusations ‘unseemly’. Parliamentary etiquette matters more to Lammy than the lives of the children who are wasting away in Gaza.

Meanwhile the Labour benches are epitomised by the craven figure of our Brighton and Hove MPs, Chris Ward – Starmer’s political footstool – and Peter Kyle, the former boyfriend of the ex-MP for Hove and friend of under-age boys Ivor Caplin.

But I digress. After occupying the station we marched to Brighton’s Churchill Square shopping centre which we wound through like a snake, chanting. People welcomed us and filmed it before we marched again to the Clocktower, which is Brighton’s central landmark. The march had grown meanwhile to about 500.

I attach some photos and videos of what happened Brighton has a vibrant Palestine solidarity movement and our small Zionist claque, every time they show their face in public, face the contempt of ordinary people.

  1. Another excellent piece, Tony. Particularly poignant is: Those who deny genocide in Gaza today consciously lie like Starmer and Lammy. Genocide scholars like the Israeli academic Omar Bartov, have no doubt about what is happening. All international human rights groups have long ago declared what is happening a genocide. Those who deny genocide in Gaza are no different from those who deny the Nazi holocaust. The Zionists are the Jewish equivalent of neo-Nazi holocaust deniers.

  2. Lets be honest here, the complicity is of the Labour Party as a whole, not just two individuals, as awful as they are. They are both very much continuity Labour politicians.
