Yesterday I Learnt That Santander has Frozen My Accounts – No Reason Given – No Reason Needed – Opposition to Israel’s Genocide in Gaza is Enough

The British State’s Attack & Banks’ Complicity in Attacking Palestine solidarity Activists is Financial Terrorism

Update

It would be useful if people email Santander to protest at their outrageous behaviour and ask them if they are happy depriving the Al Tafawk Children’s Centre of vital funding. Email addresses I have for the bank are:

ukbbusinesscomplaints@santander.co.uk, ceo@santander.co.uk,

ConsumerService@santander.co.uk,

ExecutiveCommunications@santander.co.uk,

complaints@santander.co.uk


Nearly a year ago I wrote about how the Police and the Security Services were using money laundering legislation, introduced to stop serious crime, to target Palestine solidarity supporters, including myself.

As is normal these days with the Terrorism Act 2000, legislation introduced for one purpose is being used for another purpose, in this case attacking peaceful direct action groups and opponents of Genocide.

It is Financial Terrorism because it is intended to frighten and deter people from taking action against the British State which is actively complicit in the Genocide in Gaza. The State faces an uphill battle to convict me in a trial starting at Kingston Crown Court on August 18th for ‘inviting support for a proscribed organisation (Hamas)’. This despite the fact that we have a hostile Judge Plashkes KC presiding over it.

Ironically I Received This From Santander Today!

Hence the attempt to intimidate me. The question that springs to mind is whether those responsible for contacting the banks are engaged in trying to pervert the course of justice.

The message I get when I log on

In the past two years I have been debanked by three banks – Nationwide, which is an anti-Palestinian bank, HSBC and First Direct. No reason has ever been given but it’s not hard to work out what was going on. The Financial Ombudsman Service, to which I complained, has proved itself a completely toothless lapdog.

I Received This Yesterday From Santander!

The Police and the National Crime Agency have decided to attack the finances of Palestine solidarity groups. Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign and Greater Manchester Friends of Palestine have both had their bank accounts frozen because of an alleged link to Palestine Action, even before the  latters unlawful proscription.

Unity Trust Bank, which is supposed to be a progressive bank, since it’s owned by the trade unions, confirmed at a meeting with Scottish PSC that the freezing of their account was at the behest of the NCA. It seems that ‘serious crime’ today is not robbing a bank, money laundering or human trafficking – it is opposing Genocide in Palestine.

The NCA is one of these organisations that are accountable to no one but wield a great deal of power because their remit is serious crime. However Palestine solidarity has been redefined as ‘anti-Semitism’ and ‘terrorism’ so the NCA has become the State’s instrument of choice in the attempt to criminalise solidarity with the Palestinians.

It is not only in this country that the State is employing financial terrorism. Francesca Albanese, the UN Rapporteur for Palestine, has been a target of the Trump regime. Her bank accounts, credit cards and finances have been frozen, all because she has been an outspoken critic of the West’s role in financing and arming Israel’s genocide.

Albanese’s reaction to US sanctions sums up my attitude – ‘What a mafia. But they will not break us.’ The Trump and Starmer regimes are just that – mafia bosses in suits. At least though Trump doesn’t claim to be a human rights lawyer unlike Starver.

The Judges of the International Criminal Court were also targeted by Trump’s sanctions, which include travel bans, asset freezes and denial of services from US companies, for having had the temerity to press war crimes charges and issue a warrant against Netanyahu, the Hitler of our age. The idea of indicting war criminals is not one that our leaders take very kindly given that they may be next in line.

As Ashifa Kassam wrote in respect of Kimberly Prost, a Canadian Judge at the ICC:

For years, she has sat as a judge at the international criminal court, weighing accusations of war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity; now she is on the same list as terrorists and those involved in organised crime. “It really was a moment of a bit of disbelief,” she said.

And that is the reality of the financial sanctions that I and others face in Britain. A government which had an iota of morality or principle, would have condemned outright the US sanctions on Albanese and ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan, which the Trump Junta imposed in February 2025.

Starmer and the ‘Labour’ Government said nothing and quietly went along with everything Trump decreed, ending up with Charles Mountbatten being sent to Washington to flatter Trump.

Capitalism is now run by politicians who owe more to Al Capone than Thomas Paine and the Rights of Man. This is the context in which I have once again been faced with anonymous allegations, the nature of which I am not allowed to see or know, being used to freeze my accounts and those of the charity of which I’m a trustee.

For the past year Santander has intermittently carried out 3 investigations into the accounts of the Brighton Trust and related organisations. It found nothing but I always suspected that their justification of ‘getting to know their customer’ was simply a pretext.

I first found out what was happening when Stripe, who handle payment processing for the Chuffed crowdfunder which we set up to appeal for donations to the Al Tafawk Children’s Centre in Jenin sent me a cryptic message saying that ‘A recent payout to your connected bank account failed’. It soon became clear why it had failed.

Without any warning Santander had frozen a total of 8 accounts. The only one spared was that of my son, which I administer. When I contacted the bank no one would speak to me from the department in question.

It was not until June 5, three days after the freezing of my accounts that they sent me an email, which said nothing other than that ‘We will arrange for a specialist complaints manager to contact you at their earliest opportunity.’ They still have not contacted me.

It is as if they were too ashamed to even try to defend their decision.

It means that I have had to take emergency action to ensure that funds raised for the children of the Al Tafawk Centre are secured. To attack the ability to operate of a charity raising funds for a children’s centre is despicable. They suffer enough at the hands of the terrorist IDF without facing the terrorism of the British state acting via its banking system.

The faceless men who run the National Crime Agency in conjunction with tame bankers are, like their counterparts in the Metropolitan Police, devoted to supporting the Genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing underway in the West Bank.

I am taking legal advice over my next steps and without giving anything away I will not hesitate to challenge the freeze in court if necessary. I intend to force Santander to justify their actions and to release the money. To do this I will need to raise money so I ask people to contribute to my Legal Crowdfunder. As Chuffed is based in Australia it is beyond the reach of Starver’s mafia and his police state mates.

However this whole debanking exercise needs to become a political issue. Banking is essential for anyone to function in the modern economy. To take peoples’ banking facilities away because they don’t conform to the state’s expectations is financial terrorism. Banks need to be forced to justify any attempt to debank someone.

The ideal solution would be for the banks to be nationalised. They are too important to be left in the hands of the private sector. When they get into trouble, as was the case in 2008, then they come running to the state to bail them out. If they are ‘too big to fail’ which is how they were able to secure billions of pounds from the state in a bailout, then they are too big to be owned by private shareholders.

Ivor Caplin caught by a sex sting

I have no doubt that these dirty tricks tactics by the state are intended as a prelude to my trial at Kingston Crown Court. But whilst the Secret State is targeting my bank accounts and those of other opponents of genocide, paedophiles like Ivor Caplin – former Defence Minister and former Chair of the Jewish Labour Movement go scot free.

Caplin was the subject of a sting in January 2025, when he tried to liaise with a young boy for the purposes of sex. 18 months later he still has not been charged. Of course the police have form over this as Jimmy Saville might testify. As do Sussex Police which turned a blind eye to Saville and another prominent paedophile and Charles Mountbatten’s friend, the Bishop of Lewes Peter Ball.

Ivor Caplin arrested for attempt to meet 15 year old boy

However Sussex Police did arrest a friend of mine, Greg Hadfield, a former journalist on the Sunday Times and Daily Mail, for exposing Caplin’s predeliction for hard core pornography and sex with young boys on Twitter.

Jeremy Scahill on Sky TV About Israel's Burning Alive of Children

It can't be often that a Perjurer is Given a Police Award!

Hadfield was the subject of a complaint by a leading Brighton Zionist Fiona Sharpe, friend of Sussex Chief Constable Jo Shiner, who was awarded a top police award. Sharpe cannot but have been aware of Caplin’s extra-mural activities as he advertised them on X. Another who clearly knew was his ex-boyfriend and now Trade Minister, Peter Kyle the MP for Hove. Corruption

But whatever dirty tricks the Police and National Crime Agency get up to between now and my trial they will not deter me. As should be obvious from my arrest at the Nakba demonstration for defying Mark Rowley’s ban on the use of the words Globalise the Intifada.

So when we hear of two-tier policing we should remember that the Police and the Crown Prosecution Service, have always protected the rich and the powerful. That is why Andrew Mountbatten was able to get away with raping trafficked girls without as much a whisper from the Metropolitan Police. Their only concern is leaked documents.

But we should never forget that this is about the British State continuing to support war crimes such as the burning alive of people in tents as Israel bombs them mercilessly or the targeting of hospitals in Lebanon - three of which have been attacked in the last week. Attacking a state’s health facilities is a speciality of the barbarous ‘Jewish’ state.

World Jewish Anti-Zionist Conference in Vienna 12-15 June 2025 Says No to Zionism, Genocide and Apartheid

 As Israel Attacks Iran, in the Name of ‘Self-Defence’, Hundreds of Delegates in Vienna Reject Western Imperialism Mad Dog


Tony Greenstein's speech at the Anti-Zionist Jewish Congress, Vienna 14 June 2025

The conference which I attended from June 13-15, organised by a small Steering Committee based in Vienna, was a truly joyous coming together of Palestine solidarity activists the world over. There was even a delegation from Indonesia.

The conference itself was overbooked with hundreds of people having to be turned away. Jewish and non-Jewish people of all faiths and none were united in a determination to see an end to the poisonous ideology of Zionism which motivated the creation of the Israeli state.

Ilan Pappe speaking at Anti-Zionist Jewish Congress 13 June 2025

On the eve of the conference Israel launched an unprovoked attack on Iran, almost certainly in co-ordination with the United States and Britain, using Iran’s nuclear facilities as the pretext for the attack.

Tonight we hear of a massive Iranian counter-attack which has hit Tel Aviv, the centre of the failed state with Tel Aviv being hit particularly hard. It is small justice for razing Gaza to rubble but welcome nonetheless. The sooner Israeli citizens become accustomed to their own homes being bombed, the sooner they may recognise that Palestinians have had to put up with this particular Israeli speciality for far too long.

Ghada Karmi Francesca Albanese Rahma Zein & Rima Hassan @ Vienna AntiZionist Jewish Congress 13.6.25

Zionism was called by one speaker, Ghada Karmi, an ideology of evil and it is entirely appropriate.  A state 47% of whose Jewish citizens responded in a poll undertaken by Pennsylvania State University to say they wanted to exterminate every last human being in Gaza.


The state allegedly set up as compensation for the annihilation of Jews in the Holocaust has become the mirror image of Nazi Germany.

Israelis commemorate the Holocaust on 3 separate days each year and for the rest of the year they keep their remaining holocaust survivors in poverty. The holocaust, like anti-Semitism, has been weaponised to legitimise a state based on the same founding principles that Nazi Germany was founded on.

There were a range of speakers today – both on live video call and in person. The Conference was open by veteran Israeli anti-Zionist Haim Bresheeth from Britain’s Jewish Network for Palestine. 

The first session’s speakers were Ghada Karmi, Ilan Pappe and Rima Hassan, the heroine of the freedom flotilla and Francesca Albanese, the fearless UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine. The latter two appeared by video link. Rima had intended to attend in person but because of her kidnapping by Israel she was unable to make it. The session was moderated by Haim Bresheeth.

We had a special video greeting delegates from Roger Waters who I  understand very generously helped fund the conference which was enormously expensive.

The next session was moderated by Ronnie Barkan. Yakov Rabkin spoke by zoom, with Donny Gluckstein, Haim Bresheeth and Awad Abdelfatah speaking in person.

Speakers at the next session were Ilan Pappé, Ghada Karmi, Ramzy Baroud hosted and moderated by Peter Eisenstein and Gülmihri Aytaç

After the evening meal the final session had the Jewish podcaster Katie Halper, Rahma Zein, Wieland Hoban and Astrid Wagner.

Tomorrow morning starts with a session From Pride to Denial: Arab Jews and Integrating in the Arab World with Iris Hefets, Reuven Abergel, and Camille Levy Sarfati speaking.

After that there will be a session on Reclaiming Anti-Fascism and Fighting the Instrumentalisation of Antisemitism at which Tony Greenstein, Stephen Kapos, Wieland Hoban and Wilhelm Langthaler will speak.

In the afternoon there will be a session on Decolonisation and Liberation: The Relevance of Historical Models when Ronnie Barkan, Ramzy Baroud and Roshan Dadoo will be speaking.

The final session tomorrow Against Zionism and Imperialism: The Move to Ending Impunity, Implementing Sanctions will include Peter Eisenstein, Haim Bresheeth, Tarkan Tek and Irina Vana as speakers.

The Congress will continue on the Sunday with three parallel workshops taking place over two sessions, with feedback and discussion on workshops.

The Congress represents the first visible sign of the cracks in the previously monolithic support of diaspora Jewish communities for Zionism and Israel. Jewish people world wide are waking up the fact that they are being used by the imperialist elites as a moral alibi for Israel’s genocide and mass murder and apartheid. An Israel which is occupying Lebanese and Syrian territory, and which will threaten Jordan and Egypt in the future is attacking Iran and Yemen now.

Israel is imperialism’s mad dog run wild in the Middle East. Every time it attacks a country it is for self-defence. Just like its bogus attacks on people as ‘anti-Semites’ this dressing up of continual attacks on its neighbours as ‘self-defence’ is wearing thin as shown by every poll in Western countries, including the United States.

Today we have a situation where the elites in society everywhere support the Zionist State of Israel but the people are increasingly expressing their  revulusion at a state whose militarism is resembling that of its ideological father, Adolf Hitler.

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?

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.
