Summary by Geopolist | Istanbul Center for Geopolitics

Daniel Lindley’s piece in The New Arab criticizes UK Labour leader Keir Starmer for adhering to U.S. policy in steadfast support of Israel, despite widespread public and international condemnation of the nation’s conduct in Gaza and Lebanon. The document delineates the historical Zionist aspiration for dominion over Lebanon’s Litani River and contextualizes Israel’s invasions of Lebanon within this enduring objective.

Lindley contends that Starmer’s administration, akin to that of the U.S., has forsaken any semblance of adherence to international law. He indicates that although the British populace predominantly disapproves of Israel’s activities and advocates for a ceasefire, Starmer’s administration disregards this sentiment, persisting in military sales to Israel.

The essay emphasizes that Western nations, including the UK, have ignored the rising civilian casualties, implicitly endorsing Israel’s military actions despite the human cost. It contrasts historical denunciations of Israel by the UK with the present context, wherein Starmer’s government, in contrast to prior administrations, declines to criticize or constrain Israel’s activities.

Lindley also cites Netanyahu’s threats to Lebanon, characterizing them as integral to Israel’s historical pursuit of water dominance, particularly over the Litani River, rather than only a defensive strategy against Hezbollah, as is sometimes suggested. He denounces the present UK government as ethically deficient, especially following Starmer’s assertion that his administration “will never cease selling arms to Israel,” notwithstanding allegations of war crimes in Gaza. The essay asserts that this position demonstrates the total moral degradation of the UK government over Israel.
