Starmer is already breaking pledges in his manifesto as recognising a Palestinian state appears to have been binned. Right, so to the surprise of nobody on the left whatsoever and should be coming as less of a surprise to voters who have been putting Keir Starmer under some kind of scrutiny and familiarised themselves with the fact he breaks promises, pledges, missions, oaths, vows, obligations and assurances repeatedly and then acts as if he did no such thing, he’s now already breaking manifesto commitments and doing so whilst we’re still in the election campaign period. In the Labour Party manifesto is a pledge regarding recognition of a state of Palestine, a key measure working towards a two state solution, but Starmer is now already rowing back on this, to either delay, or as some Labour sources are saying, to abandon entirely, because they can afford to up set people for whom this is an important issue who end up handing their vote to Labour. What kind of administration decides before reaching power which people who supported them they can afford to laugh in the faces of by abandoning certain pledges, that they told the nation they were committed to? One that will lie with impunity once in power. Right, so Keir Starmer, already well known to be unabashedly pro Israel, having effectively been bought and paid for by the Israel Lobby as he has, has done significant damage to his party’s reputation on the issue of Gaza especially over the last nine months, and it very much looks like he is going to double down on that, having promised to recognise a Palestinian state as part of moves towards a two state solution in the Labour Party manifesto. It states: ‘Palestinian statehood is the inalienable right of the Palestinian people. It is not in the gift of any neighbour and is also essential to the long-term security of Israel. We are committed to recognising a Palestinian state as a contribution to a renewed peace process which results in a two-state solution with a safe and secure Israel alongside a viable and sovereign Palestinian state.’ It's on page 124 of the Labour Manifesto if you care to look for yourself, that far through it, hardly much of a priority for the party you would think, but it is an issue gaining a lot of prominence, especially after Starmer cropped up on LBC saying Israel had the right to commit war crimes against Gaza: We will never let that clip go, especially since Starmer continues to deny he ever said any such thing. Now however, it looks like he’s binning this manifesto pledge and doing so not so much in Israel’s interest it seems, but in the interests of the US, it apparently now becoming a concern that our foreign policy being out of kilter with US foreign policy would damage the special relationship, an absolute sick joke of a relationship right now, when the US are the chief arms salesmen to the Netanyahu regime and we’ve done nothing but go along and support them all the way. What Keir Starmer is saying, hardly news to many of us I daresay, is that Labour will very much continue in that vein, and therefore when people say UK foreign policy is being set in Washington, that looks very much set to continue. ***Subscribe to the channel here*** https://www.youtube.com/KernowDamo?sub_confirmation=1 ►ABOUT ME: Hi, I'm Damien Willey.
