Quick question for the UK media - we've had quite some time rightfully kicking Keith for his "I do believe they have that right (cutting off food, water, power, the necessities of life)". His attempt to weasel out of it ("I meant right to self-defense") and his defenders like Emily Thornbury ("in that short period of time") have opened them up to a very important line of questioning and it seems like no one is taking it.
Look, I agree that the cheerleaders for the Gaza genocide should be held accountable for their racist bullshit - but more important than that is stopping the genocide as soon as we can. Labour leadership now recognizes that what Israel is doing is indefensible, they are merely trying to cover their asses for defending it earlier. So get them on the record now as saying that what Israel is doing is indefensible. Why aren't the interviewers asking that question? If I had one question for Keith it would be:
Is Israel committing war crimes now?
Maybe I would preface it a bit:
There's been a lot of confusion over what you meant when you said that you believed that Israel had that right. I would imagine that you would want to be very clear about your position in order to prevent such confusion from happening again. So here is a very simple question that is also very important at this moment. Is Israel committing war crimes now?
