Mnar Adley – Mint Press News Oct 7, 2025
The Israeli genocide against Gaza continues. And even as they officially recognize the State of Palestine, many Western countries still support the slaughter. Chief among these is the United Kingdom. While Keir Starmer’s government announced it would now formally recognize Palestine, it continues to supply Israel with weapons and intelligence support.
Joining us on the MintCast today for the second time is British-Iraqi surgeon, Dr. Mohammed Tahir. Dr. Tahir spent nearly seven months working at some of the busiest hospitals in Gaza, and did not hold back when asked about his opinion on Starmer and his actions:
He has presided over the genocide, continued to arm Israel with weapons, provide it with spying information. Their spy jets fly back and forth from Cyprus and reveal information for the Israelis to carry out airstrikes and kill innocent people.”
“People like Keir Starmer,” Tahir said, “have nowhere to run. Reality is facing them. They know that history will be written, and they will be included in the list of those who enabled genocide.” For Tahir, the United Kingdom’s decision to recognize Palestine amounts to little more than “lip service” and “deflection.”
Starmer’s government currently sits at only an 11% approval rate. Some of that is down to its continued support for Israel, a country that ten times as many Britons (39% to 4%) view highly unfavorably as favorably.
For Dr. Tahir, the reaction to the violence in West Asia needs to go far further than simple support for a Palestinian state. Talking with MintCast host, Mnar Adley today, he called for the entire ruling class of Israel to be “thrown in front of a judge at the International Criminal Court.”
“They all need to be tried, locked up and have the key thrown away. If it were up to me, then we would bring back capital punishment for them. And the land should be handed back to the people of Palestine,” he added.
Israel has blocked Dr. Tahir from returning to Gaza, so he now works for FAJR Global, a leading medical organization working to evacuate thousands of injured Palestinians and provide them with lifesaving surgeries and other medical help.
While the United Kingdom’s actions have been contemptible, others in Europe have taken more principled positions. The government of Spain has described Israel’s onslaught as genocidal, announced an arms embargo on the country, and led attempts to ban Israel from international events.
Italy, meanwhile, is in the midst of a general strike, with workers across the country downing tools in support of Palestine. This includes key dockworkers, who have refused to transport European weapons to Israel.
For Tahir, the peoples of those nations are showing what is possible. “Spain and Italy are putting some of the Arab leaders to shame,” he said, referencing the collaboration between many Gulf monarchies and the Netanyahu administration.
More than half a year working inside a killing field has taken its toll on Tahir. “You’re not the same person once you come out,” he told Adley today. “Life is not the same,” he said, stating that the trappings of life; houses, money, cars, and simple pleasures feel totally insignificant to him now. “What is important is fighting for justice. What is important is to defend the oppressed, to be their voice.”
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear a firsthand account from Gaza.

Thankyou so much for this
many even from my own hospital have tried to get this news out
but the jew owned media blocks it
The news now try to stop volunteer nurses doctors and aid workers going from the hospitals
many of my co workers have been deliberately killed in gaza some i would see on a daily basis
So… gaza blockaded, no food going in or out, but this dr can get in and out? Really…
We were told trump had made some agreement or other that expired 6pm last sunday and he threatened to kill everyone if they didn’t do as he ordered. Now here we are, days later… and nothing. Really…
Most of the gaza stuff is made up, pure and simple. You obsess over people on the other side of the world, waste your time doing and talking about things you have no control over whatsoever, while they implement their one world dictatorship right outside your door.
Tommy robinson looking forward to going to israhell…
Charlie kike met his wife in israhell…
Farage has muslims and jews all over the “people’s party”…
Your “petition” to grovel at their feet to “ask” them to “debate” digital id went nowhere… no surprise there…
Every single one of your “alternative” media never mentions your owners, tells you never to do anything, but simultaneously tells you you’re going to be enslaved and killed… and every one has millions in the bank…
The jew-k. What a hell hole.
starmer should resign or better stull jump out of a high window some where
Racists have torn down St George’s flags in another English city and replaced with 3-word messages
Story by Joel Moore, Adam Toms •St George’s flags have been taken down and replaced by signs with three-word messages in an English city. Placards stating “we dont need you” and now adorn lamp posts in Nottingham. The flags were removed from Mansfield Road and Forest Road East on Tuesday after being attached around a week ago, it is believed, and replaced by six handmade signs. Nottingham City Council said that it would not interfere with the new placards .Our position is that much like we haven’t removed the flags, we will not be removing these signs,” a spokesperson said. It comes after Goosey the Goose Fair Goose – the mascot of Nottingham’s much-loved annual event – was painted with a St George’s Cross last month. The police issued an appeal after the incident. The East Midlands city has seen relatively fewer flags put up by residents compared to other parts of the country, it has been reported, england as such no longer exists we are part of europe now “
i am a black woman
no one i know supports the views of BBC chappie lenny henry
you cant call him a comedian as hes not funny
he making racist statements and even black people dislike him
All the (S)elected traitors to humanity have BLOOD on their hands.
I think your Starmer is even the worst traitor
to your people, even more than Mehrkill for us .
but jewMI5+6, Rothschild, policemasonry, Sayans
+ other spies have your people in the grip .
Kier Starmer needs to be circumcised. From the neck down! And then, rolled into a salt mine.
there are still a few tunnels left
where aid workers nurses etc
can get through they drag behind them
a crate of food water or meds
Starmer sends the RAF from cyprus
with electronic gadgetry to pinpoint these tunnels where they get bombed
starmer is a jew and he supports israel
bastard
