Keir Starmer calls Israel’s recent actions in Gaza ‘appalling and intolerable’
The Guardian ^ | Wed 4 Jun 2025 | Kiran Stacey and Patrick Butler

Posted on 06/04/2025 8:55:04 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Keir Starmer has called Israel’s recent actions in Gaza “appalling, counterproductive and intolerable”, as the UK government comes under mounting pressure to take stronger action after the killings of dozens of civilians at food points in recent days.

The prime minister told MPs on Wednesday the UK was considering imposing sanctions on members of the Israeli government, but is so far resisting growing calls for a complete ban on arms sales and immediate recognition of Palestine.

Starmer was speaking after several attacks at food distribution hubs in recent days left dozens of people dead and hundreds more injured.

The attacks prompted British aid charities to step up calls for urgent humanitarian and political action, and the head of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) described conditions in Gaza as “worse than hell on earth”.

With protests taking place outside the Commons and growing unease from MPs inside it, Starmer said: “Israel’s recent action is appalling and, in my view, counterproductive and intolerable.”

He added: “We will keep looking at further action, along with our allies, including sanctions, but let me be absolutely clear: we need to get back to a ceasefire, we need the hostages, who have been held for a very long time, to be released, and we desperately need more aid, at speed and at volume, into Gaza, because it is an appalling and intolerable situation.”

You’d think a guy whose country is rapidly being turned into Brittanistan would have more pressing problems closer to home to worry about.

He’s listening to too much Hamas propaganda.

I agree.
Israel should stop feeding and provisioning the enemy occupying its land.
Let the Fakestinians take their lying “narrative” home to Araby (open the damned Egyptian border already! that Egypt is permitted to block the transit of its fellow Arabs into and through Egypt to other Arab countries is deplorable... )

Well, unless the Brits are going to war against Israel, I guess it actually is “tolerable”.

Starmer is just following orders from his mentor Obummer:

Starmer, Macron, etc are all just hypnotized pawns and their countries are imploding.
Wonder what Trump will throw at Germany’s Merz tomorrow now that the AfD party there has been branded as extremists for being anti-muslim wanting to enforce their borders?

He must be relying on the BBC for his news about Gaza. Or Al Jazeera.

starmer is an idiot: the food center killings are being perpetuated by hamas themselves and the various armed warring clans that have arisen in gaza as the power of hamas wanes ...

Funny, that's what a lot of Britain's think of Keir Starmer.

Surprising. Starmer's wife is Jewish, and he claims to celebrate Shabbath every week.

The Jewish traditions that Starmer could bring to Downing Street.

I wouldn’t blame Egypt or Jordan. They have very sorry experience with what they’d be getting. Somalia would be an obvious deportation destination. The Pallies would be just another warring tribe there.

The Guardian, Starmer and you must know by now that this is an outright lie. Israel did not do this. It never happened.

Negative. Send them to their big state sponsor, the one that’s been supporting and stirring up their militants for decades - Iran.

Hamas has been mass imported into Britain. Starmer is pandering to an Islamist bloc that didn’t exist before mass migration. The Islamo-Marxist-Nazi constituency controls the UK Labour Party.

Britain hasn’t yet turned Islamic, yet here is their prime minister acting as a spokesman for their Muslim insurgent population. Churchill would be disgusted.
