Corbyn SHAMES Labour on Gaza
Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone object to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza’s hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel. New Labour UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham continues Labour party policy of active support and complicity in Israel’s genocide. 
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham admits to blatently lying and engaging in deception to become leader of the UK Labour Party and Prime Minister. He asks who could possibly object to the IDF starving people to death, conducting forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing all Gaza’s hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He says they’ve got a genocide to do for Israel and to stop objecting. 
Ed Miliband claims that he and Andy Burnham have reformulated Blair’s triangulation strategy. Their new formulation entails acknowledging that they were wrong on Israel and Palestine but entails doing absolutely nothing about it and continuing exactly the same policies hoping that you’re too stupid to notice. US Firm Linked to Gaza Aid Site Massacres to Help With Burnham’s 10-Year Plan
Kin Cheung via Reuters Decision shows ‘contempt for the victims of the genocide’.
Andy Burnham’s government has hired a US consultancy firm that helped set up a group to run “aid” sites in Gaza where Israeli forces massacred starving civilians.
Boston Consulting Group (BCG) will advise on Burnham’s his 10-year plan, the Times reported. The plan, which has yet to be published, has been billed as part of the prime minister’s pledge to end decades of neoliberalism in the UK.
BCG last year had to publicly disavow its role in creating the notorious Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which operated four sites where hundreds of people were killed while trying to get food in 2025, as Israel deliberately starved Gaza’s population.

“Aside from an obvious point that you don’t appoint companies like the Boston Consulting Group if you have any actual intention of ending 40 years of neoliberalism, Trump’s ‘Gaza Riviera’ blueprint is clear ethnic cleansing,” Green party leader Zack Polanski said in a statement.
“The idea that Andy Burnham has invited these people into the heart of Downing Street shows contempt for the victims of the genocide. They must be removed from this project.”

Ed Miliband condemned over ‘performative’ Gaza video

In a video shared on social media on Monday, the Foreign Secretary said that “the intolerable humanitarian situation in Gaza is getting worse” – but failed to outline the UK’s role in facilitating what the UN has concluded amounts to genocide.
It comes as the UK Government has rejected calls for a public inquiry into its own complicity in Israel’s brutal onslaught of Gaza, which would include an investigation into spy flights sent over the territory from RAF bases.
…
The Foreign Secretary continued: “My message is that the UK Government will not stand by.
“We are demanding the government of Israel ends arbitrary restrictions on humanitarian access, protects humanitarian workers and provides humane treatment and basic welfare for the civilian population of Gaza.”
Miliband said there are “strict legal obligations that the occupying power, Israel, must obey”.
…
Zack Polanski, leader of the Green Party of England and Wales, responded: “It’s important this performative video is met with the scorn that it deserves.
“Silence would be unacceptable.
“But it’s actually worse to have Labour making sad videos whilst continuing to arm a genocide and arrest those who protest. It should be beneath contempt.”
…
Former diplomat Craig Murray said: “They are doing absolutely nothing. Israel refuses to let aid in, and Ed just poses.
“Entirely performative.”

The Guardian understands Miliband will say in his speech that the sanctions marked a definitive change in how Labour will approach the situation in the Middle East.
“I want to say to the millions of people in this country and indeed elsewhere who have been moved and outraged by the plight of the Palestinian people: we hear you, you were right,” he will say.
“And under Andy’s leadership, we have reset our approach. We call out ethnic cleansing by the settler terrorists in the West Bank. We call out the evidence of war crimes in Gaza. We call out Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine. And we match words with actions.
Report: UK’s ‘double lock’ on arms to Israel suspends nothing
The British government has not suspended or revoked a single additional arms export licence for Israel since announcing what Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband described as a “double lock” on military sales, according to an investigation by Declassified UK.
Miliband announced a package of measures on 8 September targeting Israel’s illegal occupation and settlement activity. The measures included plans to prohibit trade with illegal settlements and refuse applications for arms and other exports that materially contribute to the occupation of Palestinian territory.
However, responding to a parliamentary question from independent MP Iqbal Mohamed, the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade confirmed that no further licences had been suspended or revoked since the announcement.

Labour reformulates Blair’s triangulation strategy
This is how it works. Andy Burnham or Ed Miliband say “You were right on Israel and Palestine, we were wrong.” That’s 2 corners of the triangle.
The new formulation is “Having acknowledged that you were right and we were wrong, we’re going to continue in exactly the same way. We won’t do anything differently. Hopefully you’re too stupid to notice.”
Ed Miliband claims that he and Andy Burnham have reformulated Blair’s triangulation strategy.

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham admits to blatently lying and engaging in deception to become leader of the UK Labour Party and Prime Minister. Current UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is quoted that he supports Zionism without qualification. He also confirms that his active support and that of UK’s air force has been essential in Israel’s mass-murdering genocide.
