So if they get a ceasefire the UK will happily go back to ignoring the continued genocide of the Palestinians?

Not exactly, Starmer's demands are that Israel leave Palestine alone from then on. He's laid down loads of conditions.

He's still a borderline fascist antiSemite, like Netanyahu and Trump

Basically? Humans are leverage?

Such bullshit posturing, they don’t intend to actually do anything, it’s all optics. If they wanted to recognize it they would. They just want to wash their hands of it, trying to make it seem like they’re not complicit.

They're literally saying its a posture, demanding the release of the prisoners of war still being held by hamas, and cawing about a two state solution after the entire Israeli population has been exposed as genocidal terrorists. Anyone still talking about a two state solution is a genocidaire running cover for an ethnostate. There will either be no state of israel or there will be no peace. These leaders are cowards and they are actively aiding a live streamed child holocaust while claiming they are moral paragons. "Recognizing palestine" at this point is more disrespectful than going there and dropping the bombs yourself.

Note how israel has no obligation to release all of the people they detained in west back without any legal process.

UK elites are a bunch cucks who are more worried about Israelis and their genocide than heir voters. Pathetic.

Imagine watching someone beating the shit out of someone else with a crowbar and warning them that if they don't stop in 2 hours you'll do something about it.

Quotes directly from Kier Stalin - the UK gov will recognise the State of Palestine unless Israel stops the genocide and makes all necessary moves to return peace to Palestine.

Unless he simply fucked up his speech, I speculate that this means that if Israel doesn't stop its cruelty, the UK will join the rest of the countries in opposing Israel by agreeing that Palestine exists.
