Starmer accused of hypocrisy for quickly condemning Iran’s missile attack on Israel, but not condeming Israel’s genocide in Gaza, strikes on the Iranian embassy, or attacks on civilians in Lebanon

BRITAIN was accused of emboldening Israel to commit further atrocities today.

Israel continued its murderous rampage across the Middle East, bombing Yemen, Syria, and Gaza over the last week.

Tel Aviv also invaded neighbouring Lebanon after killing over 1,000 people in the country in a fortnight.

Iran launched multiple missiles at Israeli targets on Tuesday evening in response, which was “utterly condemned” by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in a national address.

Affirming his support for Tel Aviv, he said: “We stand with Israel, and recognise her right to self-defence in the face of this aggression.”

Sir Keir emphasised the need for “de-escalation” in the region and called on Iran to “stop these attacks.”

That evening, Israel stepped up its bombardment of Gaza, which has already killed at least 40,000 Palestinians, murdering dozens more in attacks on an orphanage and a school-turned shelter.

Ben Jamal, director of Palestine Solidarity Campaign, said: “Keir Starmer was quick to announce he ‘completely condemns’ Iran’s missile strikes but he has never found these words to address Israel’s genocide in Gaza, strikes on the Iranian embassy, or attacks on civilians in Lebanon. The hypocrisy is stark.

“It is appalling that the UK government would ally itself with a state committing genocide and violating the sovereignty of neighbouring states though indiscriminate bombing that in past week alone have killed over 1,000 people, mostly civilians.”
