Israel To Pay A Price Over Hanging Law; Starmer Goes Into Hiding?

Israel has legalised hanging for Palestinians and while the Greens have said that should carry a price, the rest of Westminster is still staring at the carpet. Right, so Israel is the first state in history to legislate a death sentence that applies only to one ethnic group. There's a reason nobody else has ever done this, not even apartheid South Africa did this. It's a depth of evil beyond humanity itself, and while Zack Polanski’s Green Party has now demanded Israel pay a price for that, outlining exactly what they think the UK response right now to this should be, Keir Starmer has still not said a damn thing about it. He was fast enough to make demands of Iran acting in self defence after Israel attacked them roughly one month ago, but over this? Nothing. Well if Starmer’s problem is that Israel won’t like him very much if he dares put so much as a crooked toenail out of joint, or any of their mouthpieces here in the UK for that matter too, then here’s is one Israeli outlining exactly what the problem is here, rather than wait for his focus groups or Morgan McSweeney via his missing mobile to tell him otherwise. That was Israeli left winger Ofer Cassif there, a rare voice in the Knesset capable of speaking truth to power. That is why Starmer ends up sat there being ridiculed across social media, being derided as if he hasn’t got anything to say, because frankly he damn well should, not least because the question has already been answered for him by Green Party Deputy Leader Mothin Ali. Suspend Israel’s senior diplomat. Stop the arms. Sanction the state. The Greens have put a price on the table and Starmer has put nothing on it at all.
