Starmer:To be Commended?

The Home Secretary Suella Braverman put the cat amongst the pigeons when she described themarches as ‘hate marches’. For most sane people it was easy to see why she used those words. When we witness such marches on our streets, it becomes clear that most peoplehad gathered to vent their hatred orgrind their own personal axe against the government, or in their ignorance jumped on a bandwagon of convenience.

Can you imagine, we even saw members of the LBGTQ+ community joining these marches. How ironic because if they were in Palestine, they would be executed under Sharia Law. They were joined by people of faith and others. Again, under Sharia all of them would be classified as ‘kaffir’ and would be forcefully converted, and if that did not work, they would be killed, and if youhappen to be a woman, turned into a sex slave.It was incredible to see thousands marching, almost begging to be abused and exploited by the people who strive to enforce Sharia not just in Gaza, but right across the world.

Interestingly, the marchers had every kind of placard, poster and banner demanding a ‘ceasefire’ and to free ‘Palestine from the river to the sea’. I did not see even one that denounced the Hamas terrorists. How can thousands march and demand the demise of the whole Jewish community, and not once denounce Hamas? No wonder it was called a hate march.

So when the leader of the Labour Party followed the lead of PM Rishi Sunak and refused to demand a ceasefire, all hell broke loose within the Labour Party, and those on the left.

There is one simple reason why a ceasefire is futile, since even with it, Hamas would regroup and continue their attacks on Israel. In essence, Hamas would continue to attack Israel and all Jews until, and in their own words, the nation of Israel was destroyed, and they hadexterminated every Jew. Now pray tell me, how on earth can any sane person believe that a ceasefire would work? Hamas have not even bothered to do the one simple task that only they control, namely releasing all hostages without any conditions. Not surprising given Hamas uses its own people as hostages to hide behind.

It’s now one month since the first attack by Palestinian Hamas terrorists on Israel, and so far, both our main political parties have refused to seek a ceasefire. This has changed the narrative for Keir. The question to be asked is, should we commend Keir for his position? Or are there other factors we should consider as well?

This week we finally saw a few Muslim Labour councillors resigning in protest at the stance taken by their leader. As far as I know, not one Muslim Labour MP as resigned. A few have made noises of discontent, but not one has had the spine to resign from the Labour Party. Telling.

I commend Keir since he finally found the confidence to call out the bluff of the Muslim community. They now have nowhere else to go. They won’t vote for the Tories. A vote for LibDems is wasted. Their only path to some sort of resolution rests with them joining hands with Jeremy Corbyn and ask him to float a centre left party that attracts Corbynites, the Militant Tendency, Extinction Rebellion, CND, militant Unions, and others. If they do, and Muslims leave Labour in large numbers, then it’s possible for them to teach Labour a lesson of a lifetime. It might even mean that they accept Tories winning again. Maybe a small price to pay to securetheir bigger prize, to take control of Labour should it lose in 2024. Because if Keir wins, then we can safely say the far left and the Muslim community will be totally under his thumb (not a bad thing).

As it stands, Keir and Labour are some 20% ahead of the Tories and they will win the next election. Only theinternal chaos within Labour can bring it down, or if Rishi and the Tories find that silver bullet to bring their foes down.

I commend Keir for his strategic decision to alienatethe lunatics on the left. It seems Tony Blair 2.0 is finally rising (but without the charisma!). However, Labour – the political party has not changed. It’s fundamentals of antisemitism, anti-Israel, anti-India, and anti-Hindu sentiments still thrives, and it affects its foreign policy with both these nations. Keir has taken a leaf out of Kapil’s Khichadi in his recent decision making, maybe he needs to take a few more leaf’s to truly shed the Labour Party of its corrosive image. A good start Keir,but I need to see substantive evidence of change before Labour can be trusted again.
