    ED Miliband has been condemned over a “performative” video in which he claimed the UK Government “will not rest until we bring an end to the intolerable suffering in Gaza”.

    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.”

    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.
