Israel experienced a “unimaginable” scale of terrorism last Saturday, according to Sir Keir Starmer in his address to the Commons.
The Labour leader emphasized the senseless loss of life, including men, women, children, and even babies, as well as the horrors of hostage-taking and music festivals turning into killing fields. Innocent Jews were slaughtered within their own kibbutz, and the motive behind these attacks was simply bloodshed.
Sir Keir expressed his belief that every member of the House had been exposed to images from this crisis that would forever be etched in their minds. The images depicted tiny bodies wrapped in bundles in both Israel and Gaza. He spoke of grieving mothers and fathers, representing Israelis, Palestinians, Muslims, and Jews – all innocent lives lost.
In times of grave crisis, it is crucial for the House to speak with one voice in condemnation of terrorism, support for Israel in its time of agony, and to stand up for the dignity of all human life. It is important to recognize that Hamas does not seek peace, but rather the complete eradication of Israel. However, it is essential to understand that Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people, and the Palestinian people do not represent Hamas.
Therefore, Labour aligns itself with Israel and stands with Britain in supporting Israel. The attack is still ongoing, terrorists are still at large, and hostages, including British citizens, remain in captivity. Israel has the right to bring its people home, defend itself, and ensure the safety of its citizens. However, it is crucial for Israel’s defense to be conducted in accordance with international law. Sir Keir emphasized the importance of humanitarian corridors remaining accessible and the avoidance of targeting civilians.
