Starmer set to announce UK recognition of Palestinian state on Sunday
BBC ^ | Sep 20 | BBC

Sir Keir Starmer is expected to announce the UK's recognition of a Palestinian state in a statement on Sunday afternoon.

The move comes after the prime minister said in July the UK would shift its position in September unless Israel met conditions including agreeing to a ceasefire in Gaza and committing to a long-term sustainable peace deal that delivers a two-state solution.

It represents a major change in British foreign policy after successive governments said recognition should come as part of a peace process and at a time of maximum impact.

The move has drawn fierce criticism from the Israeli government, hostage families and some Conservatives.

Starmer is a Luciferian.

I’m not sure why this is happening? The groups of “Palestine “ have refused a two state status ever since it was first offered in the Clinton era. A bunch of world governments supporting a refused offer (again) is a bit cart in front of horse.

It’s happening to appease and get votes from the illegal Muslim population he’s still bringing in.

Will Britain establish their Palestinian embassy in Gaza or the West Bank? I assume the West Bank. What happens when Britain realizes that the Palestinian government in the West Bank doesn't even run Gaza?

The news is stating that they will announce it with 1967 borders.

That will ignite a fire.

Churchill is rolling in his grave. Demographics have consequences.

““How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.”

His Labour base will like that. He is trying to expand the # of potential Labour supporters by 2029.

Starmer is a former ‘’human rights attorney’’ and a WEF banker.

You Tube is almost entirely dominated by Brits who hate the hell out of Starmer and they're begging us to send Trump to save them. And it's not just the Brits. The Irish and the Scots are BEGGING us to ‘’send us Trump!’. They don't even have the decency to refer to him as “President’’.

There's a talk show in the UK called ‘’GB Talk’’ and appears to be conservative. It's hosted by a guy named Mike Graham and he recently had on a female British ‘’pundit’’ who flat out said “America, please invade us! Please just take us over!’’.

Never thought I'd see the day when the Brits asked us to invade them.

Trump’s unprecedented “second visit” may have been a bit of a honeymoon for the Starmer gubmint.

I predict tomorrow’s announcement puts an end to that and quite possibly the so-called special relationship.

The days of taking crap from the Euroweenies is about to end.

It is time for Israel to make a choice. Grant the Arab population its own state or grant them Israeli citizenship. The attempt to build a Jewish only state on a land half of whose population is Arab is what created Hamas.

In 1922, Britain split the original territory of the British Mandate for Palestine, creating Transjordan (now Jordan) out of roughly 77% of the land, making it what could reasonably be called Arab Palestine while restricting the Jewish national homeland to the remaining area west of the Jordan River.

Jordan IS Arab Palestine. Arabs of the West Bank had Jordanian citizenship until 1988.
