CRAIG MURRAY: ‘I stand in Blackburn because of the Genocide in Gaza and the pro-Genocide stance of the Labour Party’
“I shall be standing for election to Parliament as the member for Blackburn …
1) I am standing because of the Genocide in Gaza
2) I am standing because of the appalling pro-Genocide stance of the Labour Party and Keir Starmer’s continued support of arms exports to Israel …
“The Labour Party is led by Keir Starmer, a man who has declared himself an unqualified zionist, is a member of Labour Friends of Israel, who refused to oppose Israel’s blockade of food and water to Gaza, refuses to acknowledge any war crimes committed by Israel, let alone the ongoing genocide, and strongly supports the continued sale of arms to Israel.
“40% of Labour’s shadow cabinet, at least, are financed by the zionist lobby.
“Starmer has also expelled more Jews from the Labour Party than every previous Labour leader combined – under the excuse of ‘anti-semitism’, but in reality because they are Jews who honestly oppose the murderous ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and the schemes of the apartheid state of Israel …
“Israel’s murderous destruction of Iran’s Damascus consulate, crashing the Vienna Convention, was condemned by neither Labour nor Tories …”

ReplyDeleteHowever, political interests aside, I am a pro-vaxxer and am happy to promote the vaccine and am comfortable with the utter devastating effects including death and serious injury it has caused in this country.
Like all politicians I say a lot, however, stand for nothing.
Is the Labour MP for Blackburn particularly pro-Zionist? Or is it more likely that there is a sizable Muslim/Asian community there who will vote like the folks did in Rochdale?! It would have more cogency to stand against Wes Sweeting, Rachel Reeves or David Lammy.....

ReplyDeleteAll of us are wrong about some things.
Big things.
Who knows, for an absolute fact, whether it’s wrong or right to eat meat?
To wear shoes made from leather?
To take one’s own life if one so chooses, for example if one is living in pain?
To assist a loved-one to die if said loved-one is in extraordinary pain and begs for our help to end the suffering?
To pay another individual the minimum legally permitted amount to do a job for us if the other party agrees… even if said amount is below what we might ourselves consider necessary for a good life?
To play an extreme sport, knowing that we increase the risk of dying prematurely… and hence of depriving our children and parents of our future love, companionship and friendship?
To say I love you and not mean it, as a kindness to a person who is wounded and suffering?
To tell a white lie out of love?
The point being, that even people who ‘mostly do good’ can sometimes in our eyes ‘do wrong’… without the perceived gross error of judgement necessarily making them wholly bad.
ReplyDeleteThis shouldn’t stop us from supporting them when they are doing something mostly good.
