Starmer proudly announces what his Labour stands for: racism, apartheid and prejudice
Keir Starmer: from his speech, he’d love to don a uniform and shoot anybody who isn’t an Israel-supporting Zionist.
What a speech. If Labour Party grassroots members weren’t scrambling to find a way to oust Keir Starmer as leader before, This Writer certainly hopes that’s what they are doing now.
Starmer made his alarming revelations at a speech to Labour Friends of Israel, where he and other party bigwigs who should have known better shared a platform with Tzipi Hotovely, the Israeli Ambassador best-known for being a murderous, genocidal racist.
As someone of mixed heritage it breaks my heart to see the Labour leader extend his solidarity to someone, Tzipi Hotovely, who thinks that’s wrong. Does @Keir_Starmer agree with her? You’d hope not.
Britain will only move ever further right as Labour embraces such poison.

After listening to the speech, some might say it was a case of like attracting like.
I’m not even going to talk about it myself. I don’t need to. All I need to do is highlight some of the reactions.
every person of colour, every Muslim, every anti racist listen to this drivel and understand your place in Starmers Labour …. https://t.co/FAwL0YQn7n

Britain is such an absurd country that a lifelong anti-racism campaigner got endlessly smeared as a racist, and the blackface guy from the 90s is now being feted as a leading authority on anti-racism!

It should be possible for a Labour leader to take antisemitism seriously, which is important, without suggesting Black people or other people of colour are privileged when it comes to racism. https://t.co/Lxvci6dOgw

If you support the Labour Party under Keir Starmer, you support apartheid. #BDS #FreePalestine

Keir Starmer's reference to "anti-Zionist antisemitism" as denying me a "self-determination" achieved by ethnically cleansing others, in a speech to a settler Ambassador who believes in racial purity, was not just wrong. It was deeply, deeply racist. Colonial thinking lives.

73 years after Israel was born the majority of Jews still choose the Diaspora as the venue for their self-determination, whether in London, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Istanbul, Warsaw… and more and more progressive Israelis condemn the Zionist practice of Jewish supremacy. 5/6

Terra nullius stuff from @Keir_Starmer speech today. A land without people for a people without land. Except Palestine had people – it wasn't just a desert.
These discourses and ideas are the basis of British colonisation spanning multiple continents. Quite sickening really. pic.twitter.com/PPahOOi2Dy

Yes. Starmer is persecuting leftwing Jews and not a squeak about it from the Establishment Jewish press or the BBC or the Guardian or anyone else in the mainstream media
Leftwing Jews apparently “don’t count” https://t.co/tq18kAgWTk

Question for Keir Starmer…
Why is campaigning for sanctions (BDS) against a state (Israel) that is illegally occupying the territory of another state (Palestine) in defiance of numerous UN resolutions holding it to a standard to which no other country is subjected?

According Sir Keir Starmer, who is the @UKLabour leader apparently, opposing a racist settler colonial ideology, which expresses itself by defying international law, engaging in genocide and committing war crimes is the "antithesis of the Labour tradition".

You can be for inclusion, diversity and equality or you can be a member of the @UKLabour party.
You can’t be both. In my honest opinion!

That was the message Starmer was transmitting in his speech.
He opposes universal human rights. He opposes self-determination for persecuted people – in particular, Palestinians. He stands alongside apartheid Israel in opposing international law.
He supports racism – particularly anti-Palestinian racism, but also racism against black people, other people of colour, and Muslims. He supports apartheid. He supports the Zionist doctrine of racial supremacy over others. He supports ethnic cleansing – especially of Palestinians from their own homeland, wrongly seized from them by apartheid Israel. He supports war crimes. He supports genocide.
Historically, Labour has supported the things Starmer opposes, and opposed those that he supports. Labour members have fought – literally, in some cases – to prevent them from taking hold.
Those of us who are here today have a duty to the memory of those who went before, never to let the likes of Starmer pervert their dream of the future into the nightmarish distopia he feverishly desires.
So, Labour members, I ask again: what are you doing about it?
