“He’s gaslighting all of us,“ says British columnist Owen Jones on Keir Starmer’s stance on Gaza. Today on Real Talk, we sit down with Jones for a candid discussion on the unfolding of the Israel-Palestine war in British politics, particularly Labour leader Keir Starmer and his party’s stance on the situation in #Gaza, as it endures Israeli bombardment. We also speak on the “dehumanisation“ of Palestinian voices and victims in the media. This comes as new polling has shown a massive drop in support for the British Labour Party by the country's Muslim community, as anger over the party's pro-war stance on the Israeli onslaught on Gaza continues to mount. #RealTalk is a Middle East Eye interview show hosted by Mohamed Hashem that delves into the stories and experiences of a diverse range of guests. ----- 00:00 Owen Jones intro 01:06 Pro-Palestine protests 05:49 Coverage of Palestinians 08:40 Palestinian voices platformed enough? 09:50 Dehumanisation of victims 13:56 UK government's Gaza stance 15:55 Keir Starmer's Gaza comments 17:49 Should Starmer apologise? 22:14 Labour 'panicking' over Muslim vote 22:42 Singling out Israeli violations? 26:12 Short term vs long term Subscribe to our channel: Subscribe to MEE Telegram channel to stay up to date: Middle East Eye Website: Follow us on TikTok: @middleeasteye Follow us on Instagram: Like us on Facebook: Follow us on Twitter:
