The Evidence for Gaza’s Genocide is So Overwhelming that Those Who Deny It Are Really Justifying It
I received this message from Blogspot - there was NO INDICATION as to what was sensitive and why it breached their guidelines nor was there any means of engaging in a dialogue with those who made the decision.
So it is impossible for me to comply, even if I wanted to. What this amounts to is yet another attack on free speech. This blog has been going for 16 years and this is the first time that Google has taken this heavy handed approach.
I suggest Google/Blogspot reviews its own approach in the light of its own commitment to freedom of speech. No one is forced to read my blog and the placing of a warning to deter people suggests that that commitment is becoming paper thin.
Starmer’s Many Lies
The first thing to understand about
Starmer is that he is a creature of the British Security State. It therefore
follows that nothing it does, whatever democratic rights and freedoms it
tramples on, can be criticised. Like the scoundrel and pound shop patriot that he
is, Starmer wraps up everything in the Union Jack.
All
politicians lie when they need to get out of a sticky situation. No
better example of this was Boris Johnson. However even Johnson is a model of
probity compared to Starmer.
MSNBC censor a video showing Israeli war crimes - the Free Press's does its bit 2 suppress the truth
Starmer makes for a fascinating
study. Not because he is an interesting individual in himself, quite the
contrary. Listening to Starmer is akin to watching paint dry. What is
fascinating is seeing how someone can become the walking, talking embodiment of
the security state. That is the clue to Starmer’s complete absence of charisma
or personality.
It is easy to laugh at Starmer but
that would be a mistake, because he is certainly dangerous. He is a man who is
quite happy to trigger a nuclear war if the ‘special relationship’ with the United
States demands it.
Francesca Albanese on the West’s Genocide Denial
The only thing that gets Starmer
animated is the story of his Corbyn supporting tool-maker father. The fact that
he spent most of his first speech to Labour Party conference going on about his
boring family says everything about what motivates him.
Most Labour politicians start off on
the left and move to the right. Even Tony Blair was once on the soft left. Starmer
however has always been on the NATO right.
Apart from his commitment to Britain’s alliance with the United States and the virtues of neo-liberal, free-market capitalism, coupled with his devotion to the Security State and the necessity of removing as many of our freedoms as possible, it is difficult to work out whether Starmer ever had any firmly held convictions.
Starmer's Broken Promises on Tuition fees
People
often point out that Starmer is a liar, which is true, but this misses the
point. When Starmer says something he does it because he believes that it will
give him an advantage and serve his purpose at the time. The question of whether
or not it is true is secondary. In reality it is simply besides the point. It’s not that Starmer
deliberately sets out to tell a lie. It's just that whether or not something
is true has no meaning for him. What Starmer says is dictated by whether he feels it is beneficial to him and his politics. Starmer lives in a world of lies and for him
the truth is an alien being.
That is why it is unfair to simply call
Starmer a liar when his whole political method is based on entirely different
criteria. Starmer is what might be called politically autistic. The truth is irrelevant. Lying is part of his political pathology.
Starmer on cutting off food
Of course it is amusing that one minute he
calls Corbyn a friend and the next minute he’s telling everyone he’ll cross the
street to avoid the fellow. Or that he’s telling LBC’s Nick
Ferrari that Israel ‘does have that right’
to cut off food, water etc. and the following day, following the inevitable outcry, he’s denying he ever said
it. All this shows is that despite having plenty of practice,
Starmer isn’t a good liar.
No better example is there than the 10 Pledges
that Starmer made to get elected. Of course Starmer didn’t believe a word of
them but then why should he? He knew
that Labour Party members were stupid enough to believe anything he told them
so he told them what they wanted to hear. Who can blame him?
Like a frozen rabbit
Starmer welcomed by Audrey White
When Audrey White confronted Starmer in
Liverpool with his broken promises, such as not speaking to the Sun, he was genuinely at a loss to
understand the point she was making. Surely promises are meant to be broken
when they are no longer of any use. He must have thought that Audrey was
inhabiting a different universe. That is why Starmer looked like a rabbit
frozen in a car’s headlights. He had no answer because he genuinely didn’t
understand the point that Audrey was making.
Starmer's 4th Pledge was no more illegal wars and to
put human rights at the centre of British foreign policy. Indeed he even
offered to introduce a Prevention of Military Intervention Act as well as
reviewing all UK arms sales. You may laugh but Labour Party members actually believed
this codswallop so why not tell them what they wanted to hear? More fool them
he must have thought.
A moment’s research or a look at Starmer’s
history as Director of Public Prosecutions would have told anyone who didn’t
believe in Santa Claus that Starmer was having them for a fool. But large parts of Jon Lansman’s Momentum
actually believed this nonsense. Wishful thinking plays a large part in
internal Labour Party politics.
When I was expelled Starmer was the first to welcome it!
On February 4 2020, two months before the Labour
Party leadership elections I posted a blog ‘Keir
Starmer is the candidate that the Deep State & the British Establishment
want you to vote for’ I didn’t have a deep throat source within the British
Establishment. I just took a look at Starmer’s record as DPP.
Things like Julian
Assange, the police murder of Ian Tomlinson and Charles Menendez, his proposal
to send ‘benefit cheats’ to gaol for 10 years. All this information was
publicly available and even more has now become available such as his covering
up for child abusers like Jimmy Saville and John Smythe. But if you want to
believe in fairy tales, like most of Labour’s membership then it’s best not to
look too deeply into the magic behind them.
Even when Israel does allow aid lorries in it then attacks those trying to collect the aid
In his
eyes Starmer did no wrong. He said what was needed to get elected. What was wrong with that? If he wanted to get elected
he couldn’t possibly tell them that he planned more wars, more attacks on civil
liberties and renewed austerity.
If Labour Party members actually
believed him then they deserved him as leader. Starmer has always been a state
asset and it is one of the reasons why Corbyn made such a terrible leader. Even
when Starmer resigned in the chicken coup Corbyn brought Starmer back into the
shadow cabinet.
Compare Keir Starmer's statements on the siege of Gaza with his arguments at the International Court of Justice in 2014, where he argued that the Serb siege of Vukovar was a case of genocide.

Starmer arguing for genocide (but only in Croatia and Bosnia) NOT in Gaza
So it’s not surprising
that Starmer has gone out of his way to deny
that what is happening in Gaza is a genocide. Because for Starmer, the Zionist
without QualificationIsrael can do no wrong. Why? Because it is on ‘our’ side and ‘our’ side
never does wrong.
Starmer on Srebenica's inhuman genocide
So when we come to the holocaust
in Gaza is it any wonder that Starmer doesn’t know where to turn, except to his
idiot Foreign Secretary David Lammy who wouldn’t know what a genocide was if he
travelled back in time to Auschwitz. A man who has inherited the slave complex and
can only say ‘Yes ‘ma’sr’ to Starmer
for having given him a job well beyond his talents.
It is therefore useless
to confront Starmer with what’s happening in Gaza because he is incapable of
seeing anything that contradicts his belief system. As far as he is concerned
it all began and ended on October 7.
A list of Israel's atrocities in Biden's 30 days deadline which are of course ignored
When Starmer had nothing
to lose and hefty fees to gain he argued in favour of there being a genocide in
Vukovar and Srebenica, even though the number of dead in those genocides was
about 1,100 and 8,000. But today he is Prime Minister and Britain is in an
alliance with the United States. He has Senile Genocide Joe to think about, as
well as his relationship with the Zionists and the Jewish Labour Movement. Israel
is crucial to British and American foreign policy in the Middle East, therefore
it is inconceivable that the word ‘genocide’ can emerge from his lips.
Starmer refuses to describe genocide in Gaza as genocide
It is therefore not surprising
that when Starmer was put on the spot recently in the House of Commons he
immediately reverted to the Israeli fiction about what happened when Palestinians
broke out from Gaza prison on October 7. The fact that about 400 military died
amongst the 1,139 Israelis killed is irrelevant. The fact that hundreds,
possibly a majority of Israeli civilians died at the hands of the Israeli military,
victims of the Mass Hannibal policy, is equally irrelevant.
One of Gaza's most well-known doctors, Dr. Adnan Al-Bursh, was tortured to death by Israeli forces in April 2024.

First a child is injured then when people come to rescue him they are all killed
It’s not even that
Starmer is deliberately ignoring what is happening to Palestinians in
Gaza. He simply doesn’t see the
destruction, the attacks on hospitals, the murder and torture of doctors, the
sniping of children and all the rest. Palestinians
are invisible as they always have been to European imperialists. Starmer stands in a long tradition of European
colonialism.
Like colonial masters of
old the only thing that matters is the injury to the colonial settlers. That is
why October 7 matters. The estimated two hundreds thousand Palestinian dead are
of no account.
Starmer's double standards on war crimes
Of course this is equally
true of the United States, Genocide Joe, Killer Kamala and Blind Blinken.
Unlike Ukraine, it is not in their interests to see genocide, hence they don’t
see it. Of course if what is happening
in Gaza were happening in Ukraine then it would be a different matter. After all Starmer has already pronounced that
Russia is committing war crimes, whilst wittering on about how politicians
shouldn’t rush to judgement about Israeli war crimes.
Starmer is, in a very
real sense, the personification of the amorality of the capitalist economic and
political system we live in. That is why he is such a deformed human being.
