British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has been criticised after publishing a statement on Wednesday night which welcomed the ceasefire in Gaza but recalled the “massacre of Jewish people” while saying that Palestinians “lost their lives”.
The contrasting language used to describe Israelis and Palestinians killed in the conflict has been a constant source of scrutiny with activists arguing that the deaths of Palestinians are downplayed by media outlets and government.
Points of contention have been not mentioning the perpetrators of Palestinian deaths, which is invariably Israel, and also using the passive voice when talking about those killed.
Middle East Eye has contacted Downing Street to ask how the prime minister believed the Palestinians he referred to had died. At the the time of publication, Downing Street had not responded.
wrong.
no u
No, every respectable expert.
The literal source from that line is from an article titled “Experts, advocates deeply divided on question of ‘genocide’ in Gaza”
So it’s obviously not EVERY respectable expert unless you’re playing fast and loose with the term “respectable”.
Find one. Find one academic focused on genocide studies who isn’t Israeli and doesn’t have close ties to Israel who is on the record saying Amnesty International and multiple United Nations bodies are wrong.
