Former British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s poor performance in the domestic political arena has undoubtedly played a part in his downfall only two years after his landslide victory in the 2024 general election.
But even his severest critics seem to agree that his performance on the world stage was of a much higher order.
Strong support for Ukraine in its war with Russia, a commitment to Nato, a reset of Britain’s relationship with the European Union, and refusal to be drawn into the American-Israeli war of aggression on Iran - though in reality, Britain is being dragged deeper into the conflict - are often quoted as examples of his successful handling of foreign policy.
Most fail, however, to mention one foreign policy area in which Starmer’s performance has been anything but praiseworthy: Israel-Palestine, specifically Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.
Starmer’s support for Zionism long preceded his rise to power.
