🟥 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.

Zionism, Antisemitism — and the Grotesque Death of a Political Theology

  If you ever wanted to witness how confusion, opportunism, theology, nationalism, and bigotry collide in real time — you didn’t need a medieval church council. You only needed to tune into a meeting of the . There, amid political loyalists and pop-culture appointees, a spectacle unfolded: Zionism was denounced, antisemitic conspiracies were flirted with, and centuries-old theological errors were recycled as if they were fresh revelations. But the deeper issue is not one controversial appointee. The deeper issue is this: What precisely is Zionism? And how does it intersect — or collide — with antisemitism? Because in today’s discourse, the two are either falsely merged or lazily separated without thought. Let us disentangle them carefully. 1. What Is Zionism — Precisely? Zionism , in its original and political form, is a 19th-century nationalist movement. It emerged in Europe not from theology, but from crisis. The father of modern political Zionism, , was not respon...

The Media Sold the War. We Watched It Happen.

What Adam H. Johnson’s How to Sell a Genocide reveals—and what the question of digital witnessing forces us to confront There is a disturbing question at the heart of the Gaza catastrophe that cannot be answered simply by asking what governments did, what armies did, or even what the media reported. There is another question: What did the world do while watching? Adam H. Johnson’s How to Sell a Genocide: The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza, published by Pluto Press, approaches Gaza through the machinery of mainstream American media. His investigation examines how some of the most influential institutions in the Western information system—including The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN and MSNBC—framed the destruction of Gaza. It is an important question because wars are not fought only with weapons. They are also fought through language. Before bombs become statistics, they become headlines. Before civilian deaths become numbers, they become narratives. Before dest...

CLIMATE CHANGE

FOR STARTERS: WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE? The issues: 1. Are humans responsible for most of the global temperature rise of the past century or so, or is the increase just a typical fluctuation in global temperature? 2.  If most of the temperature rise can be attributed to increases in anthropogenic CO 2 emissions, what are the likely consequences if no action is taken to curb these emissions? What is the evidence?  Is it compelling? § What is the scientific consensus? § Climate models and their predictions § Consequences of the predictions § Strategies for change Chemistry we need to learn § The Earth’s energy balance - the greenhouse effect § The shapes of molecules - valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory § Molecular vibrations – how they absorb IR radiation § Masses and moles - weighing to count molecules Earth’s atmospher     a) The Earth is about 33 O C warmer than  expected  if we consider on...
