Keir Starmer has said he believes the ‘from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’ chant is antisemitic, putting him directly at odds with the Mayor of London. Who less than a week ago insisted “it was all about context”…
Asked by the Jewish Chronicle today whether he considered the chant antisemitic, however, Starmer said:
“Yes… I take a strong view on this, and we’ve dealt with cases in my own party where people have used that expression and we’ve taken action against them… I’m not just saying it to you here today. That is the history, that is the record that I have as leader of my party.”
Maybe worth having a conversation with Sadiq about all this…
