SCOTTISH Labour leader Anas Sarwar said that Keir Starmer’s comments on Gaza lacked “empathy” and “humanity,” according to a report.
Sarwar outlined his frustration during a meeting with a pro-Labour Muslim group over Starmer’s backing for Israel cutting off humanitarian supplies to Gaza.Specifically, Sarwar was upset with Starmer over an LBC radio interview on October 11 in which he suggested Israel had the “right” to withhold water and supplies from Gaza., saying he mean that “Israel has the right to self-defence” rather than “saying that Israel had the right to cut off water, food, fuel or medicines”.
“That empathy, which includes statements like ‘every life is equal,’ ‘every Palestinian life is equal to every Israeli life,’ ‘one life lost in Palestine, one life lost in Israel is one life too many,’ and I think that level of humanity has been the bit that has been missing,” Sarwar added. “Labour is united in calling for an end of violence, the protection of civilians, the release of hostages and the delivery of vital humanitarian aid.
