Comment on Israel 'has a right' to withhold power and water from citizens in Gaza - Starmer
RedGee@feddit.uk 8 months agoThere was no anti semisism. If supporting pro Palestine under JC is anti-semitism?
Starmer will always be a traitor to the Labour party in my eyes. And Labour in it’s present form are no different than the Conservatives. Funded in part by the same people. This is why he is pro Israel. Ching Ching.

While this is true, politics is unfortunately about feelings and optics, not actual facts.
People believe that Labour is antisemitic, and therefore that impression is going to stick with people even if it might wholly be false.
I’m not a fan of Starmer either but politics is a stupid game and I’m not so sure a different response would be a good idea to the public, as much as he should have said literally anything else.
