A strong stench of self-serving make-believe pervades Starmer’s policy demarche, the goal of which is “to pave the way for negotiations on a two-state solution”. But it is grotesque to speak of any such a “solution” when Israel has already turned Gaza into mounds of shattered rubble and members of the Israeli government have openly declared that it wishes to drive surviving Palestinians into a smaller and smaller area on the border with Egypt, described by former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert as “a concentration camp.”
A mistake often made is to see what happens in Gaza in terms of realpolitik – what influence can the UK really have? But it is also a moral issue in which those who ignore such cruel and savage actions by Israel are not just on the wrong side of history, but are on the wrong side of good and evil.
“What we see is a clear, intentional attack on civilians in order to destroy a group,” said Yuli Novak, the director of B’Tselem. “I think every human being has to ask himself: what do you do in the face of genocide?”
It is pervaded by a self-fulfilling sense of inadequacy and impotence that hobbles political action from right to left. Many people throw up their hands in anguish at what is happening in Gaza, but also a belief that Britain is too small, too broke and too dependent on the US to have any effective voice or impact in Gaza.
Proof of this is that the Israeli government arguably has paid greater attention to strong criticism by Ireland over Gaza than it does to anything said or done by Britain. It has not only withdrawn its ambassador from Dublin in high dudgeon, but has retaliated angrily to criticism from Irish political leaders.

He remarked on an active propaganda campaign against Ireland in the US.
This sort of intimidation is an inevitable consequence of putting pressure on Israel, which has always had the default position of striking back furiously at any critic.
Of course, it is absurd to pretend that a starving people in the ruins of Gaza pose a threat to Israel, but it is this sort of tainted argument that Starmer accepted as valid until recently. Side by side with Starmer, other European leaders have offered humiliating homage, larded with great dollops of flattery, to President Donald Trump, seeking to get him to put enough pressure on Netanyahu to force a cessation of the slaughter. So far this punch-pulling shows no sign of working and maybe it is not really meant to.
