🟥 The Hypocrisy of Recognition:When Keir Starmer "Considers" a Palestinian State—After Helping Burn It Down

 


✍️ By Malik Mukhtar

So now Sir Keir Starmer—the man who has voted for bombs, cheered for drones, and criminalized peaceful protest—wants to “consider recognizing a Palestinian state” if Israel doesn’t agree to a ceasefire?

Let that sink in.
After ten months of livestreamed slaughter, tens of thousands of children buried under rubble, and starvation used as a weapon—Starmer is now floating the idea of a symbolic gesture as a “pressure tactic”... not out of moral obligation, not out of justice, but to nudge Netanyahu toward a ceasefire?

What an insult.

This is like handing the arsonist a lighter and then threatening to build a fire station if he doesn’t stop. Britain, under both Conservative and Labour leadership, has armed, enabled, and applauded this genocide, and now we’re supposed to believe Starmer has a conscience? No, what he has is a PR problem—and Palestinian blood on his hands.

🇬🇧 Let’s Review the UK’s Glorious Record in Gaza:

🔻 Weapons Supply
According to UK Government data, Britain issued 88 arms export licenses to Israel worth over £474 million since 2015, including crucial components for F-35 fighter jets, drones, and missile guidance systems (The Guardian, Apr 25, 2024).

🔻 Drone Surveillance Support
As reported by Declassified UK and The Independent (May 2024), UK surveillance aircraft flying out of Cyprus were confirmed to have provided real-time intelligence to Israel, used in targeting operations—yes, the same ones that flattened hospitals, schools, and aid convoys.

🔻 Diplomatic Cover
At the UN General Assembly, Security Council, and ICJ proceedings, the UK repeatedly either voted against or abstained on resolutions calling for ceasefires, arms embargoes, or genocide investigations into Israeli actions.

🔻 Criminalizing Dissent
In the UK, people mourning Palestinian victims or chanting “From the River to the Sea” are criminalized, while war criminals are celebrated. Protesters face police repression, academics are censored, and medical professionals supporting Gaza face disciplinary threats.

A State in the Ashes?

Keir Starmer’s plan is clear:

  • Recognize Palestine not when its people can live freely,
  • But as a bargaining chip, when they're already half-dead and starved.

This is not recognition, it’s mockery.
He doesn't want a free Palestine, just a containable one—a non-threatening corpse of a state, tucked neatly into a bantustan, as long as it keeps quiet and doesn’t embarrass his donors or his “strategic allies” in Tel Aviv and Washington.

If There Was Real Courage…

Starmer would:

  • Immediately call for a full arms embargo on Israel.
  • Expel the Israeli ambassador for war crimes.
  • Stop all intelligence cooperation with Israeli forces.
  • Recognize a viable and sovereign Palestinian state unconditionally—not as a poker chip in Netanyahu’s war room.

But let’s not kid ourselves. The man who refused to call for a ceasefire for months, who threw MPs under the bus for supporting Palestine, who walked in lockstep with the US and Israeli war machines—has no moral high ground left to stand on.

Final Words

A Palestinian state is not a tactic, it’s a right.

But for people like Starmer, Palestinian freedom is negotiable, Israeli war crimes are tolerable, and British complicity is business as usual.

This genocide has been livestreamed.
So has the hypocrisy of the so-called civilized world—and Keir Starmer is its frontman.

Rebranding Genocide: When Killing Learns New Words

  There are moments in history when crimes do not end — they simply learn new language. Gaza is living inside such a moment. The bombs have not stopped falling. The children have not stopped dying. The displaced have not stopped freezing in tents pitched atop rubble that was once their homes. What has changed is the vocabulary . And in the modern age, vocabulary is power . If you can rename atrocity, you can anesthetize conscience. First, it was called self-defense — a phrase emptied of meaning by its repetition. Then it became a war , despite the grotesque imbalance: one side armed with one of the most advanced militaries on earth, backed by the world’s most powerful empire ; the other a besieged civilian population without an army, navy, air force, tanks, or safe shelter. Now it is branded a ceasefire — a word invoked not to stop violence, but to conceal it. This is not peace. It is genocide with a quieter soundtrack. The Illusion of Restraint A slowed rate of killing is not m...

🔥 Gaza and the Grammar of Death: Achille Mbembe’s Necropolitics in the Age of Engineered Survival

By Malik Mukhtar (Full-Length Version with Mbembe Quotations) There are historical moments when the ordinary vocabulary of violence collapses . When “ conflict ,” “ occupation ,” and “ security ” no longer carry the weight required to explain what is unfolding before our eyes. Gaza is one such moment — a rupture in the moral architecture of the present. It is not simply a battlefield. It is an experiment in state-administered dying , in what Achille Mbembe named necropolitic s — the transformation of political power into the authority to dictate who may live and who must die. In Necropolitics (2003), Mbembe writes: “ The ultimate expression of sovereignty resides… in the power and the capacity to dictate who may live and who must die.” — Achille Mbembe, Necropolitics For Gaza, this is not theory. This is the daily grammar of existence. My book, Calculus of Survival: Necropolitics, Siege, and the Deionization of Life in Gaza , is situated squarely within this reality —...
