Feckless European leaders like Starmer let Israel and the US tear up international law in Gaza. Now, faced with Greenland and Ukraine, they are suffering from a severe case of buyer’s regret.

The path to Caracas – and potentially next to Colombia, Cuba and Greenland, other targets of Donald Trump’s colonial greed – was paved in Gaza.
The Israeli prime minister is blaming Australia for fuelling ‘antisemitism’ by recognising Palestine – and establishment media are all too keen to air his views.
‘Palestine 36’ is a potent reminder that the blueprint for Israel’s depraved war crimes in Gaza were laid down by a British empire whose tyranny the Palestinians tried – and failed – to end.
Trump’s ‘peace plan’ will never be meaningfully realised – and was never intended to be. It is simply a way to justify prolonging Gaza’s living hell.
The legal and ethical earthquake from Israel’s carnage in Gaza was never going to be contained there. As the Aston Villa row shows, the shockwaves for Britain will keep growing louder.
Trump’s ‘peace plan’ is doomed. No people in history has ever resigned itself to permanent servitude and oppression. The Palestinians will prove no different.
This brutal war on Palestinians has not just unleashed Israel’s demons. It has unmasked our own regimes, as they crack down on humanitarian activism.
Britain’s Keir Starmer is already pulling the rug from under his own grudging declaration. The only hope of change is of the unintended consequences variety.
Through Israel and the ideology of Zionism, western elites reinvented their ugly, racist system of control and sold it as a ‘moral’ cause. Now the game is up.
Israel’s intent to annihilate Gaza would have been clear much sooner had we listened to Palestinian journalists, rather than the evasions and equivocations of the BBC.
Netanyahu’s mass ethnic cleansing strategy pulls the rug out from under the West’s cherished pretext for supporting Israeli criminality: the fabled two-state solution.
US corporations and military planners welcome the ‘legal maneuver space’ Israel has opened up for them to profit from warfare that slaughters and starves civilians.
The confected Gaza ‘scandals’ are designed to browbeat the BBC into even greater cravenness. If it was reluctant before to give Palestinians a voice, now it will avoid doing so entirely.
Starmer’s government constantly sells us red herrings to throw us off the scent of the UK’s complicity in Israel’s genocide.
Twenty years ago, the US warned prematurely of the ‘birth pangs’ of a new Middle East. Now they have arrived in full force – and they will not end in Iran.
Israel is completing its genocide. Keir Starmer says the aid blockade is ‘intolerable’. And yet day after day he tolerates Israel’s bombs, gunfire and mass starvation campaign.
It is long past time Tzipi Hotovely was expelled from London. Starmer’s inaction proves he has no intention of stopping his support for Israel’s crimes in Gaza.
The Tory leader says the quiet part out loud, admitting that both Israel and Ukraine are fighting for the West.
Western capitals are still coordinating with Israel and the US on their ‘criticisms’ of the genocide – just as they earlier coordinated on their support for the slaughter.
