Now Hamas can celebrate and claim its murderous tactics work, writes star columnist Carole Malone

As far away as Jerusalem, they have realised exactly what Keir Starmer is a dangerous, delusional coward for recognising a future state of Palestine and rewarding Hamas for its savagery and its butchery.

I’d like to say Stamer is lower than a snake’s belly, but his appeasement, which came after pressure from his own cabinet to recognise Palestine and which he’s done to save his own weaselly backside, puts him way lower than that.


Doesn’t Stamer know that absolutely nothing he does now can save his job? His cabinet and his own MPs want him out, but still he crawls and creeps to his Palestine–obsessed ministers (just like he did over the Chagos islands), and in recognising it as a state, he has not only betrayed the hostages, but some are claiming he’s actually committed a war crime.

Why? Because for centuries hostages have been used as a weapon of war, and under international law that ranks as a war crime and a crime against humanity.

And isn’t this exactly what Starmer has done in recognising Palestine? He has rewarded the crimes of a proscribed terror group, which now has even less reason to free those half-starved hostages.

Why should they when countries as stupid and as short-sighted as ours are recognising and rewarding them for what they have done? Starmer has effectively told Hamas that massacring 1,200 Israelis, raping women, murdering babies and children and kidnapping 250 hostages two years ago was all justified.

We’re told that 48 hostages still remain manacled in those filthy, dank underground tunnels in Gaza, being thrown morsels of food whenever Hamas feels like it. But who actually knows if that many, or indeed any, are still alive?

And the fool Starmer didn’t even make their release a condition of his recognising a Palestinian state.

Why not for God’s sake? I suspect the truth is that he doesn’t actually care about the hostages. He’s forever calling for their release, but in recognising Palestine, he’s almost certainly made sure they never will be.

Why should the Hamas butchers release these barely breathing skeletons now that countries like Britain, Australia and Canada have recognised them and have all but said they were justified in what they did.

Because now they think they’ve won. That’s what they were chanting at the weekend after Starmer’s announcement – an announcement he didn’t have the guts to make when Donald Trump was here last week because he knew Trump would have castigated him for it on the world stage.

Both the U.S. and Israel have begged him not to do this, insisting it would undermine any peace process. But the minute Trump got back on his plane, he did it anyway. And contrary to what he says - that this is a positive step towards peace – it’s actually the polar opposite.

It’s no surprise Starmer doesn’t realise this. The man doesn’t have a scintilla of political nous in his entire body. The reason this country is in the Hellish state it’s in is because he is an absurdly incompetent Prime Minister with not the slightest idea how to run a country, negotiate a deal or make anything work.

And just to show how supremely stupid and short-sighted he is, he says a new Palestinian state will be ruled by a reformed Palestine Authority from which Hamas will be excluded.

Really? So, who’s going to exclude them? Who’s going to keep them out? Starmer? The Australian Prime Minister? Don’t make me laugh. They can and will do nothing.

All they can do is virtue signal from the sidelines, trying to convince themselves they’ve done the right thing when they’ve done absolutely the wrong thing.

Hamas savages have turned Gaza into a terrorist state, and their only purpose is to destroy the Jewish state. And that’s the credo Keir Starmer has just recognised and bowed down to.

Doesn’t he see that? What about Australia and Canada, which have also recognised it? Don’t they understand Hamas doesn’t want a two-tier state – they’ve been offered it many times down the decades. And they sure as Hell don’t want peace. They exist only to destroy the Jewish state. But political pigmies like Starmer and Macron (another dud whose own government is collapsing because of his idiocy) refuse to see it.

Some of the families of the hostages sent Starmer a message after his announcement at the United Nations General Assembly, saying what he’d done had hugely complicated efforts to bring their loved ones home.

One wrote: “Hamas has already celebrated the U.K.’s decision as a victory and reneged on a ceasefire deal. Please do not take this step until our loved ones are back home in our arms.”

Starmer’s response? He totally ignored them. He ignored their pleas, their pain, their fears for the people they love - all in a pitiful attempt to appease his own cabinet, who want him out because he’s a weak, callous, two-faced liar who shames the high office he holds.

It was only last year that he met a group of hostage families and reassured them that their loved ones would be released before any discussions about anything else.

How quickly he forgets his own lies. Remember, after the October Massacre, he said: “We stand with Israel and her right to defend herself against the terrorists of Hamas.”

So, where is our moronic leader standing today? I’ll tell you where - shoulder to shoulder with the murdering rapists and child killers of Hamas!

Imagine the hopelessness of those families whose daughters were stripped naked and raped multiple times by Hamas terrorists, who then did unimaginable things to their bodies before parading them through the streets like bloodied trophies.

Imagine the families whose elderly parents were slaughtered in front of them, the babies who were killed, the youngsters who were tortured, the women who were raped and butchered. Imagine their reaction today to Starmer’s appeasement. Because what he is saying is that terrorism is good. It pays!

He is recognising a state without borders, that is riddled with corruption, that has no government policies, that is without leadership and has made no commitment to live in peace with its neighbours.

But now Hamas can celebrate and claim its murderous tactics work. It’s a proscribed terrorist group here in the U.K., yet our Prime Minister has rewarded it in Gaza with the ultimate prize. Recognition!

And Starmer’s treachery isn’t just limited to the hostages’ families. He and his despicable party have betrayed every Jew in Britain, and they will never forgive him.

Remember, it wasn’t so long ago this creep was courting British Jews, begging them to forgive his party for its naked anti semitism under Corbyn and shouting from the rooftops that Labour was a changed party. And he did all that because he needed their votes and to show that his party had changed.

So, he got what he wanted out of them – now he betrays them because, yet again, it suits his political ambitions.

How much longer can such a liar, a cheat and a coward rule over this country? He’s dangerous, he stands for nothing, and he cares about nothing. – except himself!
