Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer today received two standing ovations after offering unequivocal support for Jews and for Israel in his keynote speech to the party’s annual conference in Liverpool.
The first, from an audience that numbered several thousand, came when he said that Labour was now a “new party” that stood for public service, and had “ripped antisemitism out by its roots”.
The second came just moments later, when he turned to the Hamas terror group’s attack on Israel.
“I am shocked and appalled by the events in Israel,” Starmer said. “I utterly condemn the senseless murder of men, women and children, including British citizens, in cold blood by the terrorists of Hamas.”
