Starmer & Reeves Also Approve of Israel’s Military Junta in the West Bank – Reeves is ‘Angry’ at Any Criticism of Israeli Apartheid
It is scarcely necessary to comment
on these two videos. Unprovoked violence against Issa Amro, a Palestinian activist
and pacifist living in Hebron, who has been under constant attack by the Israeli
military who a few months ago declared his home a ‘Closed Military Zone’.
As he was giving an interview to
Lawrence Wright, an American journalist from the New Yorker, Issam was subject
to an unprovoked attack. Wright however
displayed all the bias and prejudice one has come to expect from the capitalist
media. His focus was on the ‘dehumanisation’ of Israel’s soldiers not the
dehumanisation of the Palestinians and their treatment.
What you might ask is wrong with
these presstitutes? Is support and sympathy for Israel hardwired into their
brains?
But let us not forget that it is
imperialist politicians like Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves who are responsible
for Israel being able to get away literally with murder. Indeed the despicable
Reeves is ‘angry’
that people should even call Israel out for what it is.
If Issam had attacked and kicked an
Israeli soldier he would have been killed. As it is the soldier received 10
days in prison, not for the attack, but because he did it in the full glare of
the media. Next time he will know to do it in the dark, out of the way of
cameras.
The attacks on Palestinian medical
teams in the second video are equally despicable but once again our politicians
stay silent. One expects approval of atrocities and war crimes from the Tories
but not from the Labour Party. But today Labour is more concerned about ‘anti-Semitism’
i.e. criticism of Israel’s actions than the Military
Junta that rules in Palestine and the Apartheid society that they have
created.
Israel’s
neo-Nazi Police Minister Ben Gvir naturally approves
of what happened to Issam. Both Gvir and
Defence/Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich approve
of the expulsion of Israel’s Palestinian citizens. Why shouldn’t they? Gvir was
a member of Kach, a Jewish Nazi group that called for the expulsion of all
Arabs from Israel and which applauded the murder of 29 Palestinians in the
Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron by one of their members, Baruch Goldstein.
This is Israel’s
government today but the protestors in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv are unconcerned
about the Junta that rules the West Bank. Their only
concern is with ‘Jewish Democracy’ and the threat to Israel’s Supreme Court.
