The Ghosts Of The Children Of Gaza Will Haunt This Coward For Eternity

Something big like the sacking of Suella Braverman and the hiring of David Cameron would supply me with enough ammunition for several weeks during normal times. 

But the reality of the matter is simple enough. 

The Tories could raise Thatcher and Churchill from the dead and they would still lose the next general election by a country mile. 

Boris Johnson could ride in on a zip wire, William Hague could turn up wearing a baseball cap, and John Major could reappear wearing a birthday suit from Temu and the Tories are still going to get one hell of a beating that may see them never fully recover.

When you believe the solution to any problem is David Cameron, know you are in a whole world of shit. 

The Conservative government before you today is a government in name only. Rishi Sunak won’t see any planes flying off to unsafe Rwanda, Suella Braverman is already campaigning to be the leader of the next Tory opposition, and the Tories are at 19% in one of the latest polls. 

Keir Starmer will lead the next government, and while the rosette colour might well be different the status quo will remain in place.  

Poor people will remain poor under Labour. Health care services will continue to be carried out by the private sector. Low paid workers will still live from one payday to the next. Britain’s foreign policies will keep being dictated by foreign dictators. 

And the people of Gaza will continue to lose their lives to a despotic genocidal rogue state that is armed up to its fucking eyeballs by the complicit murderers in Washington and it’s pathetic London lapdog, that’s has been quietly sending military support to Israel.

So please do forgive me for not dedicating more than a thousand words to the parasitic (but soon to be powerless) filth in government when the leader of the government-in-waiting is just another proud Zionist with not one ounce of humanity throughout his miserable, shameless, warmongering carcass.

At the time of writing the Israeli occupation forces have murdered nearly 5,000 innocent children in the space of just five barbaric and devastating weeks. 

The Israeli state is committing grave violations against children. Killing, maiming, abductions, attacks on schools, places of worship, ambulances and hospitals, and the denial of humanitarian access. 

Around 1,500 Gazan children are missing and believed buried under the rubble of collapsed buildings and homes. 

It’s almost as if unleashing the explosive force of two Hiroshima’s in a densely populated area that was described by David Cameron as a “prison camp”, was likely to cause death and destruction on an unimaginable scale. 

An entire population remains under siege and no longer have the basic means of survival such as water, fuel, food and medical supplies. 

But do you condemn Hamas?

Palestinian doctors are performing surgery without anaesthesia under the torchlight of a mobile phone. Mothers are watching their precious babies take their last breaths because the hospitals can no longer power the incubators. 

But do you condemn Hamas?

Palestinians are being forced to drink rain and seawater. 1.7 million people have been displaced from their homes. That’s 74% of the entire population. More than 40,000 homes have been levelled beyond recognition. This is the biggest displacement of the Palestinian people since the Nakba of 1948.

But do you condemn Hamas?

In their hunger, dogs are eating the bodies of the abandoned dead at al-Shifa hospital. Patients' wounds are seriously infected, some with maggots.

But do you condemn Hamas?

We have witnessed a distraught father carrying the remains of his children in two plastic bags, a grieving mother embracing her shrouded child one last time, a father sorting through the rubble of his home, desperately shouting out the names of his children, in the search of some sign of life, as unlikely as it seems.

But do you condemn Hamas?

Israel is committing genocide and ethnic cleansing beyond anything a majority of us have ever experienced, and how we respond now will define who and what we are for generations to come.

British MPs had the opportunity to speak for the sensible majority, just this week. They had the chance to respond the right way and honour the wishes of the vast majority of their constituents.

The SNP amendment calling for a ceasefire in Gaza was always unlikely to pass through a House of Commons that is awash with Israeli money. 

But somehow, Keir Starmer’s Labour Party - Labstain if you like - managed to make the desperate plight of 2.3 million humans, all about the Labour Party. 

Like many of you, I looked through the list of Labstain names that sold their soiled souls for the outside chance of a fucking ministerial limousine and felt so deeply sorry for the babies of Gaza that have been abandoned by these selfish gaslighting bastards. 

A group of UN experts has just warned that Palestinians are “at a grave risk of genocide” as the Israeli government imposed a total blockade, cutting off the water, food and electricity supplies to Gaza.

British parliamentarians - already guilty of promoting violations of international law – voted to extend their complicity in the Israeli crimes against the Palestinian population, under the ridiculous pretext of the right to self-defence.

Millions and millions of us are demanding an end to the cycle of violence that is wiping out entire communities as if they never existed. Nearly 8,000 women and children have been slaughtered by the Israeli occupation military. 

Keir Starmer’s MPs are divided on the need for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. But I ask the MPs that disgracefully abstained on the ceasefire vote: How many dead children is an acceptable number for you before you call for a ceasefire? 

20,000? 50,000? Maybe 100,000? Is that enough dead children for you, Labour? Can someone from the Labour Party answer this simple but absolutely vital question? 

Credit must go to a majority of the Labour MPs that defied the control desk, Keith. But I do say a majority of them, and certainly not all of them.

The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis, Keir Starmer. 

Starmer and the entire ruling class are collectively responsible for callously enabling the biggest crime of the 21st Century. 

I’ll leave you with these words. Read them once and then read them again.

"It is necessary to make a cultural change in Gaza similar to the change that occurred in Germany and Japan."

Until next time,
