Ministers seem to want to dictate the narrative regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict. Already we have the majority of te MSM being weighted towards Israel. Braverman has referred to the demo’s as Hate Events. Surelybanyone with a conscience should condemn both the senseless slaughter by Hamas and the subsequent slaughter of Palestinian children and citizens. I did not agree with Starmers comments on the conflict, but he did offer a narrative which could be discussed. The Tories just want the Israeli’s “to win” whatever that means. Demonstrators around the world are expressing a support for Palestine which has been subjugated by the state of Israel for 50 years. This does NOT mean that they support Hamas. However te Israeli occupation and disrimination of/in the West Bank continues.
The Israeli Government will no doubt use Hamas to justify ever increasing militarisation and subjugation of remaining Palestinians in the region. By its unwavering support for Israel the West has lost all opportunities to mediate and find a long term solution.
