Labour Party delegates will decide on Monday whether to adopt an emergency motion declaring that ‘Israel’ is committing genocide in Gaza and calling for a full arms embargo. The vote will take place during the party’s annual conference in Liverpool.
Middle East Minister Hamish Falconer opposed the motion on Sunday, warning that it could undermine aspects of the Middle East peace process. The motion, titled “Peace in the Middle East 2”, will be considered alongside another proposal broadly supporting existing Labour policy on ‘Israel’.
If passed, the motion would signal Labour’s official acceptance of a UN Commission of Inquiry report that found ‘Israel’ guilty of committing genocide in Gaza. It would also back comprehensive sanctions on ‘Israel’ and a full arms embargo. Delegates from constituencies and affiliated organisations will vote on multiple motions over the next few days.
Starmer and his team unfortunately have a history of completely ignoring anything that comes out of conference.
The annual conference has voted for voting reforms a number of times now for example but the leadership just ignores them.
And it’s going to fuck them over come the next election.
And not just them, but the entire country! ✨
anglo Labour parties are everything they pretend communist orgs are
iirc state branches of the AusLP passed pro Palestine motions the last couple of years that werent adopted, they also kicked people out of the party who didn’t toe their pro zionist line
Fatima Payman was an ex united workers union organiser, the union threatened organisers who supported her after she was removed from the ALP, and I just found out today a member of their national executive is israeli and even lived and worked in israel fairly recently
these same people are on the board of my superannuation fund who o finally got to admit do invest in israel, because it wouldn’t be a good financial decision not to
it’s going to be such a pain on my arse shutting that account down and getting the money to another, less shit fund (super funds are mandatory here, I’m investigating self management, but it looks like a lot more work, what i can find online suggests people only do this to invest in real estate, haha yes)
fuck you host plus
This has been suggested to me recently but i havent checked it properly https://www.australianethical.com.au/
