Britain’s main opposition Labour Party passed a motion calling for sanctions against Israel for practicing “apartheid” against Palestinians.
Adopted at its annual party conference in Brighton on Monday, the motion also called on the center-left Labour to cease the UK-Israeli arms trade in areas where it violates Palestinian rights and cease trade with illegal Israeli settlements.
“Conference condemns the ongoing Nakba in Palestine, Israel’s militarized violence attacking the Al Aqsa mosque, the forced displacements from Sheikh Jarrah and the deadly assault on Gaza,” the motion read.
It also underscored the need for action “due to Israel’s continuing illegal actions.” The conference urged the Labour Party to “adhere to an ethical policy on all UK trade with Israel, including stopping any arms trade used to violate Palestinian human rights and trade with illegal Israeli settlements.”
Further it agreed to support “effective measures” including sanctions against the Israeli government actions which are illegal under international law.
The motion called on the Labour to “ensure that Israel stops the building of settlements, reverses any annexation, ends the occupation of the West Bank, the blockade of Gaza, brings down the Wall and respects the right of the Palestinian people, as enshrined in international law, to return to their homes.”
The motion was brought to the conference by the Labour’s youth wing. Although it was easily passed and the vote is not binding on the Labour leadership, it is still significant as it reflects the mood of the party.
Jawad Khan, a member of Young Labour’s national committee, said: “The motion before you today will not only send our uncompromising solidarity with the Palestinian people by calling for sanctions against the state that is practicing war crimes, it will bring us one step closer to finally ending the shameful century of British complicity and the denial of the right to self-determination, liberation and return.”
Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was a staunch and vocal supporter of Palestinian rights, but current leader Sir Keir Starmer has sought a warmer stance towards Israel after the party was embroiled in a number of high-profile scandals in the media over alleged anti-Semitism under his predecessor Corbyn.
Labour MP Steve McCabe, chair of Labour Friends of Israel, said, “the composite motion is too shouty, it’s too angry, it’s too one-sided and it’s not at all focused on the search for peace.”
Labour’s Shadow Foreign Secretary Lisa Nandy was quick to distance the official policy stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict from the conference motion, saying the party needed to follow a “fair and balanced approach.”
“There can only be a lasting peace through a safe and secure Israel existing alongside a sovereign and viable Palestinian state,” she said.
“Therefore, we cannot support this motion. It does not address the issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a comprehensive or balanced way.”
Nandy added that the Labour policy was to “condemn the unacceptable use of violence against civilians on all sides.”
“There will not be a just, lasting peace until the occupation is brought to a permanent end, and both Palestinians and Israelis enjoy security, dignity and human rights. We condemn all actions that are making that goal more difficult,” she said.
The UK Palestine Solidarity Campaign, on the other hand, praised the “historic motion on Palestine passed at the Labour Party Conference 2021 acknowledging that Israel is practising apartheid and calling for strong sanctions.”
Earlier this year, Human Rights Watch and B’Tselem published reports that said Israel was practicing apartheid, as defined by the UN, against Palestinians.
…and indeed, how a Certain Special Interest Group, controls the British government.
ZOG, anyone?
This is political bull, designed to suck in young ‘voters’ who’ve yet to sell their soul for money. Only the naive would believe that any political party believes in anything. These are the same people backing all the middle east war mongering, war with china, and god only knows how much other murdering the world over. The only good politician is a dead politician.
Until recently, the Labour Party was always a reliable Communist front organisation (Lenin stated that ‘soft socialist’ parties would be set up to introduce Bolshevism by the back door).
Things have changed.
Now divided by a significant wild card element that is out of control and lashing out in all directions, the party is now something of a loose cannon. The sham two-party system is not working.
Keir Starmer (a long time Bilderberg/CFR stooge) represents an attempt to get the party back under elite control. So far, he is failing.
I bet the motion was not backed by Starmer and his cronies. So little will come of it suspect.
Did anyone at the Labour conference suggest putting the Home Secretary Priti Patel on trial for treason and aiding a terrorist state? No, I thought not.
Don’t get jabbed, don’t vote for anyone.
Passing it, one thing. Following it through. Another.
If we call it Apartheid, Israel sets a good example, because we need it more than they do.
Disinformation……..to make the public think that jews dont control the West….
They control the financial system they control Washingstein and London and they control the intelligence services….PARTICULARLY the domestic secret police.
The fiends WILL enlarge the state of Israel but first the groundwork has to be laid……rather like the expulsion of the Turks from Palestine ww1…..naturally the fiends used (for example) the goys to do it.Australian troops being under the command of a General Monash….a crypto jew.
“Jawad Khan” – now there’s an interesting English name if ever l saw one LOL. The entity known as israel is illegal under international law, since it was created over the existing state of Palestine. Therefore it should be totally boycotted until ALL of Palestine is given back to it’s rightful owners, The Palestinian People, with huge reparations paid to those same people by the murderous occupying jewish regime.
But nothing is passed against the Jews monopolizing the banks, mass media outlets, corporations etc. in Britain…Remember, if you’re a white Brit you’re supposed to be more concerned with the predicament of the Palestinians than with your own race…
Slowly but surely, the scenario predicted by the Fatima prophecy of 1917 is unfolding before our very eyes. I myself never imagined that the “errors of Russia” would spread to the United States under the guise of “political correctness”, but it’s happened. The neo-Bolsheviks have even succeeded in hijacking the American presidency!
Only this prayer will bring lasting peace:
“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Father, send now Your Spirit over the earth.
Let the Holy Spirit live in the hearts of all nations, that they may be preserved from degeneration, disaster and war.
May the Lady of All Nations, who once was Mary, be our Advocate.
Amen.”
FYI: exactly ten years before communism came to an end in Eastern Europe in 1989, Pope John-Paul II made the following invocation during an outdoor Mass in Warsaw (June 2nd 1979):
“And I cry — I who am a Son of the land of Poland and who am also Pope John Paul II — I cry from all the depths of this Millennium, I cry on the vigil of Pentecost:
Let your Spirit descend.
Let your Spirit descend,
and renew the face of the earth,
the face of this land.
Amen.”
