British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has been criticised after publishing a statement on Wednesday night which welcomed the ceasefire in Gaza but recalled the “massacre of Jewish people” while saying that Palestinians “lost their lives”.
The contrasting language used to describe Israelis and Palestinians killed in the conflict has been a constant source of scrutiny with activists arguing that the deaths of Palestinians are downplayed by media outlets and government.
Points of contention have been not mentioning the perpetrators of Palestinian deaths, which is invariably Israel, and also using the passive voice when talking about those killed.
Middle East Eye has contacted Downing Street to ask how the prime minister believed the Palestinians he referred to had died. At the the time of publication, Downing Street had not responded.
Nobody ever lost a British election for supporting Israel.
They definitely lost one for being a terrorist Hamas sympathiser.

Sometimes, doing the right thing is more important than the politically convenient thing.
Genocide is one of those times.
As your link clearly explains, he was accused of “terrorist” sympathies because he lay a wreath at the graves of members of PLO (unaffiliated with Hamas) killed in Israeli airstrikes, in a cemetery that also contains the graves of some members of Black September, an freedom fighting organisation also unaffiliated with Hamas.
Unfortunately, racist wastes of copulation like yourself are allowed to vote despite being too fucking stupid to read.
I’m sure the corporate plutocracy and conservative propaganda had nothing to do with it… them boots taste like shit yet?
