Britain’s Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, is widely thought to be boring but decent, technocratic but moderate, a bulwark of centrism against the crazies.

This is wildly mistaken. He is monstrous.

He said:

The UK will recognize the state of Palestine by the United Nations General Assembly in September unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, agree to a ceasefire and commit to a long-term, sustainable peace, reviving the prospect of a Two State Solution. And this includes allowing the UN to restart the supply of aid, and making clear there will be no annexations in the West Bank.

Like French president Emmanuel Macron who has also threatened to recognize “Palestine” at the UN in September, Starmer is thus rewarding Hamas for its barbaric and depraved pogrom in southern Israel on October 7 2023.

He is blaming Israel, not Hamas for the “appalling situation” in Gaza. This even though Hamas is responsible for the war by slaughtering 1200 Israelis and others on October 7; taking more than 240 of them hostage and still refusing to release around 50 of them after 22 months incarceration; and stealing food and other aid with the intention of starving Gazans to get patsies like Starmer to say what he’s just said.

Far worse, Starmer is now threatening the Israeli victims of Hamas. Like some mafioso who’s draped his sawn-off shotgun in a keffiyeh, he says that unless Israel stops the war by September he’ll recognize “Palestine”. He imposes no conditions, however, on Hamas. Israel alone gets the treatment.

This is his threat that unless Israel surrenders and gives Hamas a victory, which will enable it once again to slaughter Jews and take them hostage, he will recognize “Palestine” — whose entire purpose as a fictional construct is as a strategy to exterminate Israel, slaughter Jews and steal their identity in their own ancestral homeland. He’s telling Israel in effect: “Agree to die or we’ll make sure you do”.

He then has the gall to declare “our message to the terrorists of Hamas is unchanged and unequivocal. They must immediately release all the hostages, sign up to a ceasefire, disarm and accept that they will play no part in the government of Gaza.”

But since he has said that if Israel doesn’t stop the war he’ll recognize a “state of Palestine,” Hamas now has every incentive to refuse to cease its attacks until that happy development occurs.

Starmer has strengthened Hamas and all but sealed the hostages’ fate.

Is he really so deluded?

He went on:

And we are mounting a major effort to get humanitarian supplies back in. By air, and UK aid has been air dropped into Gaza today.

This reinforces the lie that Israel was withholding aid whereas Israel was allowing it in and the UN was refusing to distribute it unless this was handled by the UN and Hamas — which has been stealing it for itself intending the Gazans to starve. No mention of that by Starmer. Does he actually know what’s been happening?

By demonizing Israel in this way, Starmer is further fuelling the rampaging Jew-hatred which is consuming the country he leads.

Whether he is kowtowing to Britain’s increasingly powerful Muslim bloc or to his own hard-left is irrelevant. Just as he campaigned for the hard-left Jeremy Corbyn to become prime minister at the last general election while ostensibly holding his nose, he really believes he is being principled and decent while plumbing the depths of moral bankruptcy.

This is not just hypocrisy. Not just moral blindness. He and his wretched Labour party are now a lethal threat to civilized values.

Today’s accomplices to barbarism aren’t dressed in jackboots or the shades and braid of a junta generalissimo. They wear the suit and earnest spectacles of a human rights lawyer. It is today’s banality of evil, and it is frying the western brain.
