Keir Starmer's wife and family are Jewish. He is from a Anglican background but has accepted many of his wife's beliefs and they are bringing their family up in the Jewish faith. I have nothing to say about this but ... you're unlikely to hear much about it from the BBC (or much of the mainstream media), an organization where one of their senior people has had a large amount of influence within the Jewish Chronicle newspaper. (To be clear I'm sure that many other religions and influences are in there, working inside the BBC, all with a degree of personal bias over issues.) So I can't help but wonder if, within their faith and as they exercise it in their family life and devotions, the Starmers are praying for the people of Gaza at all? Just more thoughts and prayers ...
For the record I'm not a terrorist but the fact that in UK law the simple phrase “Free Gaza” is now taken as “supportive of the group Palestine Action”, and “to express such an opinion or belief that is seen as supportive of a proscribed organisation, namely Palestine Action" is an offence* chills my blood. So Free Gaza.
