Just think about what a coward Starmer is in comparison to the Polish government.
What must it be like to have leaders who champion the kind of greatness that stands up to bullies, protects the vulnerable, stands with allies, and achieves peace through superior firepower?

Sir Keir Starmer has been specifically named in a UN report for complicity in Israel's genocide.
The report states that the UK government played "a key role in military collaboration with Israel... a collective crime... with detailed knowledge and cooperation in the destruction of Gaza." 🧵

If you ever want to know the cult of genocidal support Israel has established in the "never again, unless" Europe, consider that Eurovision would overwhelmingly rather have a genodical apartheid country committing endless war crimes on board than the Netherlands, Spain, Ireland, and Slovenia.
