Holocaust Memorial Day Meeting Tuesday January 27, 2026 @ 7pm

The Holocaust in Gaza Must Result in Israel’s DeNazification

On Holocaust Memorial Day [HMD], we will be holding the fourth anti-Zionist memorial meeting commemorating the victims of the Nazi holocaust. The victims include, not just Jews but Roma and Sinti, the Disabled, Gays, Russian prisoners-of-war as well as millions of civilians – in particular Russians and Poles.

The official HMD organisation only recognises Jews as victims of the Holocaust. All other categories are relegated to the status of victims of Nazi persecution.

Under the heading genocide today the HMD site mentions a number of genocides such as when UN human rights investigators accused ISIS of committing genocide against the Yazidis. It cites how years of persecution and cultural repression of Uyghur Muslims in China ‘all bear the hallmarks of genocide’.

The HMD also cites how, in Myanmar,

In January 2020 the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered Myanmar to take steps to prevent genocide, in a landmark case filed by The Gambia.

There is only one genocide that the HMD does not recognise. This despite the fact that the ICJ, in its order of 26 January 2026, in the case brought by South Africa found that Israel was plausibly committing genocide in Gaza.

The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry went even further. It found, in a report of September 2025 that Israel was committing genocide against the Palestinians.

So although the HMD is happy to quote the ICJ in respect of the Rohinga and UN Human Rights investigators in the case of the Yazidis, it refuses to acknowledge that both the ICJ and the UN have recognised that Israel is committing genocide.

Palestinian victims of genocide are excluded from the HMD commemorations because the purpose of these events is not to combat racism and imperialism but to reinforce Israel’s claim to inherit the memory of the Jewish victims of the holocaust.

The HMD events do not commemorate any genocide that preceded the Nazi genocide. The slave trade, the Herero-Nama and Armenian genocides, which were the precursor of the Nazi holocaust, go unmentioned.

The hypocrisy of the HMD Trust is no surprise. HMD was set up by Tony Blair, who together with George Bush, was responsible for murdering one million Iraqis in an illegal war.

The Holocaust has become integral to the imperialist narrative and a weapon used to support the Israeli state in its ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Palestinians. The reason for this is that Israel is the projection of western power in the oil rich Middle East. According to Alexander Haig, Ronald Reagan’s Secretary of State

Israel constitutes the largest US aircraft carrier that cannot be sunk, does not carry even one US soldier, and is located in a most critical region for US national security.

An accounting by the western imperialist states of their record during the Nazi holocaust is also conspicuous by its absence. Nowhere is any mention made of the United States and UK refusal to admit to their territories all but a handful of Jewish refugees.

Anthony Eden, the British Foreign Secretary, was concerned that if Britain offered to take in Jewish refugees then: ‘Hitler might well take us up on any such offer.’ [Bernard Wasserstein, Britain and the Jews of Europe, p. 168].

The Cabinet Committee on Jewish Refugees sent a memo to the US State Department on 20 January 1943 warning that:

there is a possibility that the Germans or their satellites may change over from the policy of extermination to one of extrusion.

Fortunately for the Committee Hitler never wavered in his commitment to extermination. The obsession with refugees led to the gas chambers yesterday and today the bottom of the English Channel.

A letter sent by the Ministry of Economic Affairs to US Ambassador Winant in London, explained how:

The Foreign Office are concerned with the difficulties of disposing of any considerable numbers of Jews should they be rescued from enemy-occupied territory...’.[Arthur Morse, While Six Million Died, p. 85., Winant to State Department 15.4.43].

The Silence of the Zionist Holocaust Memorial Organisations

Karen Pollock of Britain’s Holocaust Education Trust is typical of the Zionist holocaust industry in her condemnation of the ‘shameful’ comparisons between the Gaza holocaust and the Nazi genocide. To Pollock drawing universal lessons from the holocaust was something to be avoided.

This set the tone for all the other Zionist run holocaust memorial organisations. Despite telling us that we have to learn the lessons of the holocaust, the only lesson they draw is in teaching that we must defend the Israeli state no matter how many Palestinians they slaughter.

Every single international human rights organisation  has concluded that what has happened in Gaza is a genocide – from Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Btselem and the UN to the Lemkin Genocide Institute in its coruscating statement condemning the

the persistent efforts by several high-profile German civil society organizations to deny the ongoing genocide in Gaza and to disseminate disinformation and denialist narratives among German political decision-makers.

It was Raphael Lemkin, a Polish Jewish Lawyer, who first coined the word ‘Genocide’ and was largely responsible for the adoption internationally of the Genocide Convention.

When the Los Angeles Holocaust Museum [LAHM] posted a message on Instagram which featured a drawing of a hexagon formed by six linked arms — with the words ‘Never Again’ Can’t Only Mean Never Again For Jews.’ there was a furious backlash from Zionists. The message was interpreted as referring to Gaza. One commentator wrote that

This post is beyond disgraceful. Whoever created, approved, and posted this should be ashamed of themselves. Our ancestors are rolling in their graves.

Two days later, the museum deleted the post and published an apology. The museum issued a new statement:

We recently posted an item on social media that was part of a pre-planned campaign intended to promote inclusivity and community that was easily open to misinterpretation by some to be a political statement reflecting the ongoing situation in the Middle East. That was not our intent.

The LAHM promised to ‘do better’ next time. ‘Never Again’ in the eyes of Zionists excludes the Palestinian victims of Western imperialism. Never Again only applies to Jews.

Every single holocaust museum and institution has refused to recognise, still less condemn, Israel’s genocide or compare what Israel was doing to the Jewish holocaust.

Yad Vashem and the Silence of the Holocaust Historians

The genocide in Gaza posed a difficulty for Yad Vashem, [YV] Israel’s holocaust museum. Established in 1953 YV’s purpose was to formulate a hegemonic narrative of the Holocaust that would accord with the Zionist paradigm.

How could YV condemn the very state that founded it for perpetrating a genocide? According to YV the holocaust occurred, not because of German imperialism and fascism but because of their eternal hatred of Jews.

Central to this was the foundational myth of Israel as a refuge from anti-Semitism, according to which, if Israel had been in existence, then there would have been no holocaust.

What the Zionist narrative didn’t say was that if the Zionist movement had not existed, more Jews would have survived and possibly the Hitler regime itself would have collapsed or been overthrown.

Rather than seeing the Nazi holocaust as the product of German imperialism and fascism, YV posited a mono-causal explanation – anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism explained everything: fascism, anti-communism, eugenics, racial hygiene, lebensraum and anti-modernism.

For Zionism anti-Semitism was caused by the Jews:

Where it [anti-Semitism] does not exist, it is carried by Jews in the course of their migrations. We naturally move to those places where we are not persecuted, and there our presence produces persecution. [Herzl, The Jewish State, pp. 14-15].

YV was never an anti-racist or anti-fascist institution. It was a Zionist organisation. YV has rebuffed many invitations in the past to widen its remit and condemn particularly flagrant examples of Israeli and Zionist racism. It was established next to the site of Deir Yassin, the most famous massacre of the Nakba, yet it doesn’t even acknowledge this fact.

Zionist holocaust history fights against universalising the lessons of the holocaust. The Nazi holocaust is unique and Jews are its sole victims. There is only one lesson of the holocaust that Zionism and YV permit and that is the creation and existence of Israel as a Jewish state. If the Holocaust is unique then no lessons can be drawn.

The fact that the Yishuv, Palestine’s Jewish community, was unable to accept more than a fraction of the Jews in danger during the 1930s was conveniently forgotten.

In his address to the 20th Zionist Congress in August 1937, Chaim Weizmann recalled being asked whether Palestine could accommodate Europe's Jews. He told the delegates that

The old ones will pass, they will bear their fate or they will not. They are dust, economic and moral dust, in a cruel world... Two millions, and perhaps less (will survive) ... We have to accept it.

Zionism was an obstacle to the rescue of Jews. The Zionist movement repeatedly complained that a focus on saving Jewish refugees from the Nazis was a distraction from the main task, which for them was building a Jewish state.

In January 1933 David Ben-Gurion warned that:

‘Zionism… is not primarily engaged in saving individuals’ and that if there was ‘a conflict of interest between saving individual Jews and the good of the Zionist enterprise, we shall say the enterprise comes first.’ [Biography, The Burning Ground, p.855]

YV had no intention of changing when Israel was becoming openly genocidal. When 50 holocaust researchers asked YV to condemn the genocidal statements made by Israeli politicians, military and other public figures, including Israeli government ministers and Prime Minister Netanyahu himself, its Chairman, Dani Dayan refused. 



Dayan asserted that the Israeli army was not conducting a genocide but was acting ‘within the constraints Hamas imposes on us to comply with the proper moral standards and the laws of war.’ One can only assume that the complete destruction of Gaza’s civilian and health infrastructure, to say nothing of the extermination of thousands of Palestinians, are what passes for high moral standards at YV.

Dayan told those who suggested that YV say something about the holocaust in Gaza that:

the outrageous statements you cited do not express the moral position of the very large majority of the Israeli public or the IDF and its commanders.

Yet all the evidence was that the statements cited were very much the position of the IDF and Israeli Jews. The IDF was putting those statements into practice in Gaza whilst he was speaking. YV refused to acknowledge the clear evidence that the extermination of the Palestinians in Gaza was supported by a majority of Israeli Jews.

A March 2025 poll by Penn State University found that 47% of Jewish Israelis agreed with the idea that the Israeli army, when conquering a city, should kill all of its inhabitants, referencing the biblical conquest of Jericho. The poll found that 65% of Israeli Jews believe a modern-day version of Amalek exists and that 93% believe the biblical commandment to “blot out the memory of Amalek” is still relevant. In other words over 60% of Israeli Jews supported exterminating the Palestinians of Gaza.

Another poll from Israeli research group, the aChord Center, found that 76% of Jewish Israelis either fully or partially agreed with the suggestion that none of Gaza's remaining pre-war population were innocent.

The IDF that Dayan praised so highly was the same IDF which set up torture camps for Palestinians, raped to death doctors and which used Palestinian children as target practice.

A poll from Jerusalem’s Hebrew University in June 2025 showed that contrary to Dayan, 64% of Israelis agreed that there are ‘no innocents in Gaza.’ When Israeli Arabs, 92% of whom opposed the statement, are removed then it meant that three out of every four Israeli Jews supported genocide.

Dayan was Secretary-General of the fascist anti-Arab Tehiya party and a candidate on its list to the Knesset in the Israeli elections in 1988 and 1992.

Dayan was also Chairman of the Executive of the Yesha Council, a federation of Jewish settlements in the West Bank. In 2015 Brazil rejected him as Israel’s Ambassador because of his fascist credentials. It is a fitting commentary on Zionism’s memorialisation of the Nazi holocaust that the Chairman of its holocaust remembrance authority is a fascist.

Where YV led, the world’s holocaust organisations followed. Not one holocaust organisation has condemned Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Not one has declared that the lesson of the Nazi holocaust ‘Never Again’ applied to all people, Jewish and non-Jewish, Palestinians included.

That is why, for the fourth year running, we are holding an anti-Zionist commemoration of the Nazi holocaust. Our aim is to challenge the pro-imperialist events as hypocritical virtue signalling. Amongst our speakers will be two Jewish survivors of the holocaust, Stephen Kapos and Suzanne Weiss

An Open Letter to the W* C* Who Doubles as Britain's Prime Minister

 Starmer's Only Achievement is to Make Boris Johnson Appear Truthful and Honest



How one five-year-old girl escaped an Israeli airstrike on a school in Gaza  - Channel 4

The story of 5 year old Waad Jalaal’s miraculous escape from a burning building that Israel bombed made the headlines this week. Israel’s bombing of civilians taking shelter has been repeated hundreds if not thousands of times.

Israel Deliberately Shoots at Those Collecting Food from the ‘Humanitarian’ Aid Foundation

Equally sickening was what happened at the aid distribution centre in Rafah on Monday June 2nd. One of those seeking aid described the scene:

“As soon as we entered the distribution point and started carrying the aid, the Israeli army opened fire,” he explained. “The scene was horrific. We couldn’t see anything because of the dust and the shelling and the heavy gunfire directed at us. Dozens of people were killed. And the airstrikes also killed dozens of people.”

Is there anything more sickening than Israel, having cut off food and water, then ‘inviting’ people to go to its ‘humanitarian’ aid  foundation distribution centre and then, like trapped mice, opening fire on them. Yet Starmer and his collection of war criminals and misfits, including his shoe shine boy Lammy, say absolutely nothing. If this were Russia we would not hear the end of it.

Even Channel 4, instead of titling it ‘Israeli Murder at Aid Distribution Centre’ calls itTensions rise in Gaza amid confusion at aid site’. There was no confusion anymore than there was confusion at My Lai when the Americans did the same in Vietnam. But the Western media, even when covering these crimes wraps them in verbal cotton wool.

The lie that Hamas bears responsibility for Israel's targeting of civilians because they use them as 'human shields' is just a license for Israel to rain down more bombs on hospitals, schools, UN buildings , mosques and even churches.

The reality is that Israel has consistently forced Palestinians, including children, to become human shields by forcing them to enter building where Palestinian fighters may be present.

In comparison to Israel’s genocidal leaders, Hamas chiefs are the equivalent of Victorian ladies taking tea at a summer’s garden party. Israel’s War on Terrorism is a War By Terrorists on Gaza’s civilian population.


The Party’s Over: Zionism Must Be Dismantled – Ghada Karmi

We should recognise Israel’s campaign of mass murder and extermination for what it is. Israel’s excuse that it is targeting ‘terrorists’ is risible. Civilians have been the overwhelming victims since October 7. It isn’t Hamas but the Israeli state, Netanyahu and co. who are the terrorists.

In this war against the civilian population or to give it its proper name, Genocide or the Final Solution to the Palestinian Question, Starmer, Lammy and the rest of the British Government are complicit. Four hours after Lammy's statement that Israel's starvation of Gaza's population and its renewal of its military attacks were 'monstrous' a spy flight took off from RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus and spent around five hours collecting footage over Gaza.

Words are cheap to war criminals. Another war criminal emoting to no good effect this week was Heidi Alexander on BBC Question Time. Not only did she lie when she said Britain wasn't supplying F35 parts to Israel, but in answer to the question 'why are you still supplying arms to them' responded that she found the situation in Gaza  “as sickening and as harrowing as every single person in the audience.”  which begged the question, 'why the fuck don't you resign then and do some good for the first time in your life'?

The Israeli state was born in blood and fire in a terrorist war directed at the British occupation and the Palestinian inhabitants. The bombing of the King David Hotel which caused 96 deaths and the Deir Yassin massacre when over 100 Palestinians were murdered in cold blood are just some of the bloody incidents to the credit of Irgun, the Revisionist terror group. Netanyahu's Likud is the political descendant of this wing of the Zionist movement.

That is why, on 22 July 2006, an event was held in Jerusalem to celebrate the bombing of the King David and amongst those attending was Netanyahu. So much for Israel’s condemnation of terrorism. 

Today streets and even a town, Kochav Yair, are named after Yair Stern, the founder of Lehi, who in 1940/41 made not one but two offers of a military alliance to Nazi Germany.

It was Lehi which assassinated the British Minister of State in Cairo, Lord Moyne, and the UN representative in Jerusalem in 1948, Count Folke Bernadotte. Both actions were planned and agreed by Yitzhak Shamir, who was then in the leadership of Lehi and became Prime Minister of Israel, twice in 1983-4 and 1986-92.


Francesca Albanese interview with Krishna Guru-Murthy – There isn’t another case where the Genocidal Intent is so Obvious

Genocide

Netanyahu made his views crystal clear at the beginning of the genocide when he stated that

You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. And we do remember.

Amalek was the tribe that God commanded the Israelites to wipe out.

Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.

For once Netanyahu was telling the truth, which is why he spoke in Hebrew. Yet Starmer, Lammy and the rest of the detreitus in the Labour Cabinet pretend not to know what Netanyahu  meant by this biblical allusion.

The evidence of an exterminationist mentality in Israel was evidenced in a poll by Pennsylvania State University this week which showed that 47% of Israelis wanted to do what Hitler did to the Jews – total extermination. The same poll showed that 56 percent of Israeli Jews support the expulsion of Palestinian citizens of Israel. This is Zionism, racist to the core.

But it was even worse than that. As Skwawkbox pointed out 65% said they believe that the Palestinians are a ‘current incarnation of Amalek’ and of those, 93% said the (command) to wipe them out still applies. In other words more than 60% agree with the wholesale slaughter of Palestinians.

We have rabbis, like Rabbi Mali of Bnei Moshe Yeshivah ruling that children too must be killed and Israeli government ministers, from Smotrich (Gaza will be totally destroyed) to Nissim Vaturi with his call to ‘burn Gaza’, reinforcing this message. Yet this despicable government of war criminals cannot even sanction Smotrich and Ben Gvir, let alone say openly and honestly that if Netanyahu sets foot on British soil he will be arrested and sent to the Hague for war crimes.

Two nice Jewish Boys podcast dream of pressing a button to annihilate 7 million Palestinians

The evidence that Israeli Jews support exterminating Palestinians if they can’t expel them is everywhere but Western leaders like Starmer turn a blind eye. Israel’s oldest podcasters Two Nice Jewish Boys discussed how they wish they could press a button to wipe Gaza out in an instance. The Friendship Song broadcast on Kan TV, Israel’s public broadcaster, had Israeli school girls sweetly singing about the annihilation of the Palestinians.

We should take Israeli Jewish society at its word. Its attitude to Palestinians is no different from the Nazi attitude to the Jews. This is the only  lesson that Israel has drawn from the holocaust. That what was done to the Jews can be done by the Jews. Except the Jews who died in the holocaust were mainly opposed to Zionism. 


But whereas Waad Jalaal was lucky, 11 year old influencer Yaqeen Hammad was not so lucky. Her house was deliberately targeted by Israeli planes because anyone with the potential to resist, anyone who attempts to lift the spirits of the Palestinians, even a child, must die so that Israel’s monsters can continue their ethnic cleansing.


Israel has missiles which can, as they boast, take out a single flat in a multi-storey block. Yaqeen had to die in the same way that the Nazis, when they invaded Poland decided that the intelligentsia, including priests had to die. It was called Operation TannenburgIsrael calls their operation Gideon’s ChariotsThe name is different but the aim is the same.

Not only is the Israeli military and its child killers terrorists, so too are their Western backers – such as Annalena Baerbock, Germany’s former ‘Green’ Foreign Minister, Scholtz, Starmer & Trump.

The claim that Israel’s ‘war’ is against Hamas is a lie. If it is true then there would not have been anything like the destruction in Gaza.  Israel has deliberately targeted all civilian infrastructure.

Only last week thousands of Zionist settlers rampaged through East Jerusalem attacking anyone who was a Palestinian whilst police and the military looked on. Chanting their usual slogans of ‘Death to the Arabs’. Yet Starmer and his fellow Zionists in the Cabinet have nothing to say about this annual ritual.

She Went to Gaza Twice: What She Saw Will Haunt You | Dr Mimi Syed on FloodGate

Every hospital, school, mosque, university and 90% of homes have been destroyed in Gaza. All apparently contained a Hamas command and control centre. Even its reservoirs and water treatment plants had Hamas bases located within them because half of them were destroyed! Strangely enough Israel hasn’t produced even one photograph of a Hamas fighter firing at them from out of a hospital or school. As Western doctors who worked in Gaza have testified repeatedly, Israel’s allegations are yet one more lie.

Hamas militants are underground. They are the least likely to be killed. It is people like Waad’s family and Yaqeen who are being killed in Israel’s exterminatiof the Palestinians.

Bombing hospitals, homes, civilian infrastructure is a war crime yet Britain, Germany and the United States, to this day, continue to supply Israel with more weapons. And now they shed tears as they continue to supply those weapons. It is Starmer’s decision to continue to supply Israel with weapons with which to carry out yet more massacres which is why his claim that such attacks are ‘horrific’ ring hollow. Starmer, Lammy, Alexander and the rest of Labour’s war criminals have it within their power to call a halt to supplying Israel with more weapons. 


Starmer’s denial of a genocide makes him no different from neo-Nazi holocaust deniers. But whereas the latter are harmless, the political equivalent of flat earthers, the denials of Starmer, Merz and Trump have deadly consequences.

I therefore decided to pen an Open Letter to the man who is best known as Kid Starver since he prefers spending money on arms to abolishing the two child limit on benefit payments.

Tony Greenstein

Starmer’s Many Lies

Open Letter to Keir Starmer

Dear Starmer,

One of my few claims to fame was the fact that you were the first person publicly to welcome my expulsion from the Labour Party in February 2018. Being a man of few words and even fewer thoughts, you combined your contribution to a single word – ‘good’.

Have you ever wondered why, after just 5 months in office, you have been voted the most unpopular Prime Minister in recorded history? It is your only achievement! Everything about you is synthetic, including your squeaky voice and toolmaker background. 

You have the charisma of a wet fish on a warm summer’s day and the personality of a baked tomato. However I wish to be fair. There were other Prime Ministers who suffered from a lack of a strong personality and charisma. The difference was that they were at least honest. Clement Attlee was considered boring and dull but he was trusted nonetheless.

Starmer: Israel does ‘have that right’ to deny Palestinians food and water

Starmer denies saying Israel 'has the right' to withhold water and power from citizens in Gaza

The main reason for peoples’ hatred of you is your dishonesty, your inability to tell the truth. For you, the decision to tell the truth or a lie is simply a question of what is most advantageous. There is no principle involved. Telling the truth to you has no moral value in itself.


And when you lie, instead of admitting that you lied you simply double down and lie again. Take your statement that Israel had the right to deny Palestinians food and water. Everyone could see and hear what you said, yet you still deny that you said it.


You call yourself a human rights lawyer, Starmer but what you really are is an Opponent of Human Rights Lawyer. This was demonstrated when as Director of Public Prosecutions you did your best to extradite Julian Assange, whilst trying to cover for the Met Police who murdered a news vendor, Ian Tomlinson. You even had the files destroyed so your part in what happened could not be told.

However your determination to persecute Assange and the autistic hacker, Gary McKinnon was not matched when it came to Jimmy Saville.

There was another lawyer in history who supported depriving those under occupation of food. His name was Hans Frank, the Governor of Nazi occupied Poland. His policy was ‘death by hunger’.


Over 83,000, 20% of the population of the Warsaw Ghetto died from hunger. After the war Hans Frank was convicted of warcrimes at the Nuremberg trials in 1946 and executed. Your support for Israel’s Nazi-style policy renders you also a war criminal whose place belongs at The Hague.

What comes across when you speak is your insincerity and lack of any conviction or principles. Your attacks on the disabled are in marked contrast to your eagerness to snap up any freebie on offer. What an achievement it was to come top of the list of MPs receiving freebies. Not only was your own wardrobe donated but even your wife’s knickers were paid for!

When you were Director of Public Prosecutions you billed taxpayers for nearly a quarter of a million pounds in travel costs, three times as much as your successor Alison Saunders, including first class flights abroad and a chauffeur driven car. You charged taxpayers £161,273 for a chauffeur driven car despite living just four miles from your office on a direct tube line.

You won the leadership of the Labour Party on a lie or rather 10 lies (Pledges), all of which you broke. The 4th Pledge ‘Promote Peace and Human Rights’ stated that there would be

no more illegal wars. Introduce a Prevention of Military Intervention Act and put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a force for international peace and justice.

Israel's attack on aid lorries and those trying to collect the aid

Well that lasted a long time! Where was the parliamentary vote on the RAF’s secret flights over Gaza, supplying intelligence to enable Israel’s murder spree? You said you were reviewing arms sales to Israel but when it came to it you said you had stopped just 8% of  the sales. Even that was a lie because from October to December 2024 you shipped more weapons to Israel (£128m) than in the four years of Tory government (2020-23).

Starmer refuses to describe genocide in Gaza as genocide

You described yourself as a ‘Zionist (i.e. a racist) without qualification’. At least that proved true. Like a neo-Nazi holocaust denier you denied that there was a genocide in Gaza when Israel’s leaders have boasted of their ‘intent to destroy, in whole or in part’ the Palestinian people from the outset. This is the Geneva Convention definition of genocide.



 

 Starmer on Srebenica's inhuman genocide

At the International Court of Justice in 1991 you argued that Vukovar, where 260 Croat men were killed, was a genocide. You have repeatedly said that other incidents of mass killing, such as in Srebenica in 1995, where 8,000 people were killed was a genocide. Yet when at least 100,000 people have died in Gaza you stay silent, denying that Israel’s extermination of Palestinians constitutes genocide. Perhaps you would be good enough to explain why Srebenica is a genocide and Gaza isn't?

 


Children killed, wounded in Israeli attack on Gaza City school

Perhaps the soldiers who joked about the destruction of Gaza’s only cancer hospital have escaped your attention? Israel has repeatedly attacked schools and other buildings where children have congregated yet this too has escaped any condemnation by you.

Israel attacks children playing football in a Gaza school killing over 30 'terrorists'

Israel has incarcerated thousands of Palestinian prisoners in two torture camps, Sde Teiman and Ofer Prison, yet you have chosen to see nothing, say nothing and hear nothing. The medical neglect and participation of Israeli doctors in the torture is comparable to the medical experiments by Dr Mengele and the SS doctors in Auschwitz.  Truly the ‘Jewish’ state has come of age.

Dozens killed after Israeli attack on school used as shelter in Gaza

The Red Cross has been denied access and the Unlawful Combatants Law prevents prisoners seeing a lawyer for 6 months. These are the measures of a state deliberately using torture as a matter of policy.


The anal rape of men, causing the death of at least one, starvation and beatings have led to at least 70 deaths, including of  Dr Adnan Bursh, yet unlike your condemnation of Russia you have said absolutely nothing about this.

The New York Times issued a detailed report on the abuse and torture of prisoners such as Mr Lubbad:

Mr. Lubbad, a human rights worker with the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, said his detention lasted a week. His hands were tied with rope that immediately began digging into his skin. The detainees were forced into trucks, blindfolded and hands restrained, still in their underwear, as soldiers hit them, Mr. Lubbad said.

Only when they arrived at a prison in the southern Israeli city of Be’er Sheva were they given clothes. Each person was given a number on a blue tag and guards called them by their numbers, not names.

At Auschwitz and other concentration camps prisoners were known by their number not their name.

In the wake of the cold-blooded execution of 15 Red Crescent medics Ha’aretz condemned ‘the Gaza Atrocities Committed in Our Name’. Yet you remained silent refusing to condemn anything Israel has done or call its lies out.


The only thing that attracted words of censure from you is the alleged atrocities, most of which have been disproven, on October 7th, which was a breakout from what even David Cameron called a ‘prison camp’. 

Contrary to the lies of the popular press and media, just one Israeli Jewish baby, 10-month-old Mila Cohen, was accidentally killed at Kibbutz Beeri. 1139 were killed on October 7, one third were soldiers and the majority of the rest were almost certainly killed by Israel under its Hannibal Doctrine which stipulates that it is better to kill an Israeli rather than allow them to be captured and exchanged for Palestinian hostages.

The only conclusion one can draw is that Jewish lives matter more to you than non-Jewish lives. Thousands of Palestinian babies and children have been killed yet you said nothing as the toll steadily rose

As Francesca Albanese said there isn’t another case where the genocidal intent is as obvious and as documented as in the case of Gaza.  So why is it that you continue to deny there is a genocide? Why are you so quick to accuse Russia of war crimes but not Israel?

Israel's Most GENOCIDAL Threat Yet - And Our Media Covers It Up - Israel Katz

Every time that an Israeli government Minister like Israel Katz has threatened genocide you have blocked your ears. The violence of slaves rebelling against their masters was always of more importance to Britain’s imperial masters than the day to day violence of slavery. Nothing seems to have changed.

Keir Starmer Goes Full ENOCH POWELL - Is He Britain's Most Dishonest Politician Ever?

Starmer’s Adoption of Enoch Powell

I realise that your friends in the Guardian have done their best to defend a speech that talked of Britain becoming an ‘island of strangers’. In 1968 Enoch Powell said that ‘white British people could find themselves “strangers in their own country” as a result of Black immigration. Your phrase was carefully chosen and agree with your speech writer. It was no accidental slip of the tongue. It was a racist dog whistle which Yvette Cooper defended . It was full-on Powell.

If anyone was under any doubt about what you said then the matter was settled when the spokesman for Viktor Orban, the anti-Semitic Zionist Prime Minister of Hungary, praised the speech. Orban, had previously described Admiral Horthy, who presided over the deportation of nearly half a million Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz, as an exceptional statesman’.

In The Independent, Orban’s state secretary Zoltan Kovacs said:

We see Sir Keir Starmer saying the exact sentences and words actually we’ve been talking about for the past 10 years.

The fact that the Tory shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick supported you should settle the matter.

 

Starvation

It was only after three months of a starvation blockade of Gaza, when pictures of starving children like the emaciated Siwar Ashour began to appear on TV channels, despite the best efforts of Tim Davie and the BBC's bosses, that you and Lammy condemned Israel’s starvation blockade.

Your words were a further example of your hypocrisy. At the very same time as your fake outrage you are continuing to supply Israel with weapons with which to kill the very children whose murder you pretend to condemn. The RAF continues to overfly Gaza supplying the killers with intelligence. Lying is the only thing you are good at.

You have refused to consider sanctions on Israel despite the call from 800+ lawyers, including former Supreme Court and Court of Appeal Judges to do so. You have repeatedly called for sanctions on Russia yet Russia hasn’t deliberately targeted children unlike Israel.



Christos Georgalas, a volunteer doctor in Gaza described how the children he treated had cervical injuries of just a few millimeters yet they had a very high speed of entry. He told how he saw in their neck a very small hole, but making a CT scan he understood that their larynx, their wind, the spine had dissolved. They're little volleys....

A fellow Spaniard told him that when the Israelis had come to the hospital where the MRI scanner was, they were trying to destroy everything. But the MRI is a huge machine. Even if you shoot at it, it can be repaired. So they brought a special engineer to destroy it permanently. A specialist had to come who understands the machine to make it dysfunctional which is what happened last February.

Perhaps you can explain Starmer how that is compatible with the Israeli lies that they only attack hospitals because they are Hamas bases. Why would they want to destroy the medical equipment?

Georgalas described how

In our hospital, the Israelis passed through the chambers that were the incubators and systematically smashed them one by one. These have been recorded by my colleagues. The hospital, where I worked, was occupied by the Israelis for two months in February and March 2024. Those doctors who had stayed in the hospital were tortured. They were put in line one by one and beat them. They were kidnapped in total about 80. Of these, 40 do not know where they are or if they live. They killed a lot of people on the spot.

What is stopping you immediately sanctioning Israel and stopping the weapons supply other than the fact that your opposition to what Israel is doing is about the optics rather than the reality of what they are doing?

Business as Usual with Israel

By continuing to support Israel’s genocide Starmer you are a war criminal who should finish his life in a prison cell in The Hague, alongside Lammy and the other war criminals who chose to serve in your Cabinet.
