🟥 The Hypocrisy of Recognition:When Keir Starmer "Considers" a Palestinian State

🟥 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.

Dr. Randa Abdel Fattah. De-Invited by Association: When Grief Becomes a Pretext and Palestinian Identity a Liability

How Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah Was Silenced in the Name of “Sensitivity” In a remarkable feat of moral gymnastics, Australia’s literary establishment has once again demonstrated how grief can be weaponised, principles suspended, and Palestinian identity rendered dangerously “inappropriate ” —all in the name of cultural sensitivity. Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah , a respected author, academic, and public intellectual, was quietly de-invited from Adelaide Writers’ Week following the Bondi Junction massacre. Not because she had any connection—real, implied, or imagined—to the atrocity. Not because she endorsed violence. Not because she violated any law or ethical standard. But because, apparently, the mere presence of a Palestinian Muslim woman who speaks about justice is now considered culturally unsafe during national mourning . One wonders: unsafe for whom? The Logic of the Absurd Festival organisers were careful—almost impressively so—to state that Dr. Abdel-Fattah had nothing to do wi...

Gaza and the Collapse of World Order: When the Guardian of Human Rights Sounds the Alarm

There are moments when the language of diplomacy fails, when caution becomes complicity, and when silence becomes an accomplice to destruction. On January 9, 2026, Agnès Callamard—Secretary General of Amnesty International—crossed that threshold. Her words were unambiguous, unprecedented, and devastating: The United States is destroying world order. Israel has been doing so for the last two years. Germany, through complicity and repression, is helping govern its demise. This was not activist rhetoric. It was a diagnosis from the very institution tasked with guarding the moral and legal architecture of the modern world. The Collapse of the Post-War Moral Architecture The international order that emerged after World War II was built on a promise: never again . Never again genocide. Never again collective punishment. Never again impunity for powerful states. That promise was codified in international law, human rights conventions, and multilateral institutions. But Gaza has...

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...

Citizens on Paper, Expendable in Practice Arab Israelis, October 7, and the Failure of International Law Inside the “Only Democracy”

Israel tells the world it is the only democracy in the Middle East . Democracies, we are reminded, protect all citizens equally—especially minorities—especially in times of crisis. Now look at Palestinian citizens of Israel , roughly 20% of the population , in the months following October 7 . Then ask: what exactly does citizenship mean when the state will not protect your life? The Forgotten Fifth of the Population Arab citizens of Israel vote. They hold passports. They pay taxes. They are citizens in the narrow, bureaucratic sense. But international law does not define citizenship by paperwork. It defines it by: Equal protection Non-discrimination The right to life Equal access to justice On those measures, Israel is not merely failing—it is structurally violating its obligations . A Murder Epidemic the State Chooses Not to Stop Long before October 7, Arab towns inside Israel were drowning in violence: Illegal weapons proliferated Organized crime flourished ...
