@kitty16vcat11 You get to vote for psychopaths.
This man and his front bench are unfit for Labour. He needs to be gone.
I cannot believe that I have been left with no choice but to vote for this guy.
I feel so disgusted.

Vote for Green party, they support a 2 state solution and support end of illegal Israeli occupation and return stolen Palestinian territories. Me, family and friends will be voting for Greens.
Lib Dems, greens, independents..... Plenty of options
greens, they deserve a chance.
@@didukknowit not school and everyone gets a fair turn...Greens are clueless as well.
Starmer just lost my vote - how could he not refer to the rules of War
I'll never vote for Labour or Tories .
Vote for Greens they support 2 state solution and end of illegal occupation and return of stolen illegal occupied territories which belongs to Palestine.
You're a Tory voter who will still vote Tory
Another one gets it. Well done Sir.
Then you’re pushing us all closer to the cliff edge. Vote tactically or just accept you’re a waste of skin. You’re not a hero for wasting a vote
Vote green the Labour Party is dead, 10 years of this clown will solve nothing in the long run
Never going to vote for labour especially with Starmer as leader.
As a life-ling Labour voter I have to admit that every word I hear from that mealy-mouthed, fence-sitting c--t takes me another step further from voting Labour again.
To frame a Palestinian uprising as an act of terror is mendacity of the first order.
Vote for Green party they support a 2 state solution and end of illegal Israeli occupation over Gaza, West bank, East Jerusalem and return of illegal stolen territories which belongs to Palestine under international law. Labour and Tories dont support Peace.
He's just another Tory with a different colour tie.
Massacring civilians at a music festival is pure terrorism though, are you celebrating and promoting terrorism? Also illegal in the UK if you didn't know 🤔
@@jibjub2121 I'm emphatically not promoting terrorism, but in this most asymmetric of conflicts, what could the Palestinians do? They cannot strike at the IDF - they don't have the weapons or the people. They need to be seen and heard by the rest of the world. Perhaps they miscalculated, as the world seems to think it's OK for Israel to slaughter civilians.
@@jibjub2121 Israel has been committing crimes every day for over a decade.
Their response, collective punishment, is a war crime that Starmer endorsed.
Imagine that there is a terror attack in the UK and one of the purpetrators flees to a house on your street. Would you be okay with the army bombing your house and killing you?
If you answer yes: you're insane. If you answer no then, congrats, you're on your way to working out why it's a war crime and we shouldn't be endorsing it.
I'm glad this has been preserved on here. Starmer is now trying to deny he ever said it.
Palestine has that right to defend its land and protect it's ppl from Israel ..
Exactly. I Dont agree with Hamas at all but Israel has murdered 230 Palestinians including children since January, well before Hamas attack. Vote for Green party they support a 2 state solution and end of illegal Israeli occupation and return of illegal stolen territories which belongs to Palestine.
Keep your boot on somebodies throat long enough, they will react with violent fury. Hammas should rightly be condemned. But Israel created the issue.
NO no no..... ONLY Israel has a right to defend itself.. they sound like a broken record...
Israel has money Palestine doesn’t it’s soooo simple
@ACloudyDay22 maybe if Israel didn't steal the land in the first place then Palestine would be supplying it's own water and electricity.
Labour will.lose my vote for this , because it was a war crime when Russia did it to Ukraine, his wife is Jewish not impartial,
Nothing about the incarcerated Palastine people.

Disgraceful. Defense does not include punishing civilian populations.
So what if a million children don't have water, they deserve it!
How disgusting.
No mention of the 230 Palestinians, including children who were murdered since January, which was well before the tragic Hamas attack. Illegal Israeli occupation for the last 75 years and stolen Palestinian land and properties every year by Israel. Both Hamas and Israel should be condemned but nothing has been said by the West to condemn Israel. Disgraceful.
@@ursman3ify think it was a sarcastic comment on the utter ridiculousness of endorsing the siege on Gaza. Which is utterly against international law
Starmer is a moral coward, Shame on you Starmer.
Israel does not have the right to cut off food and water. You are wrong Keir
Imagine going a day without water. Just one day.
Starmer is an absolute power hungry ghoul, a puppet at best, he brings nothing new to the table.
No back bone. He decided long ago to fear the people who destroyed Jeremy. Pathetic
Palestinians have no right?

Probably just as much as he understands the word "woman"...
He lost my vote. Disgusting.
What about the people who are not psychopaths? Can they have some water?
What drugs are these lawyers smoking of late?
He desperately wants to go mainstream and now cant even define what a working class is. Labour party is doomed
The man cannot even be bothered to lie half convincingly. ...😅
Palestinians have right to defend itself according to international law. Not occuppier fact
That is shameful. As long as your are Israel you are free to break international law.
Occupying force has no rights. I'm sorry. I dont care if I get fired from my job. I said it.
This is a really poor take from kier. Man has no compassion.
His wife would be very angry if he said anything different.
I’ll never vote Labour again.

at least wait for the man to win power you blame him 😂
@@Steven-ly9ei Because he's already said he isn't going to change tory policy.
when was our water and power ever yurned off?
Great exposure of Starmer's worst thinking. He sounds irresponsible by making Hamas responsible.
I'd wager cutting water only hurts the civilians. Like the 'terrorists' won't prioritize water acces for themselves over the civilian mass.
Yep, it’s called collective punishment and it’s prohibited under the Geneva Convention

Collective punishment is A OK with Starmer.
