Unlike Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer has never described Hezbollah as his friends. But other than that, when it comes to Israel there is now little of consequence to differentiate them, says Stephen Pollard.

Is the 'Muslim vote' set to abandon Labour? With three quarters of British Muslims refusing to believe Hamas committed atrocities on October 7th, it's hard to see how Labour can retain them, says Frank Haviland.

AFGHANISTAN: A STATEMENT FROM ROSE GENTLE AND REG KEYS, FOUNDER MEMBERS OF MILITARY FAMILIES AGAINST THE WAR (MFAW)
Today another British soldier has been killed in Afghanistan. Six have
died in the last three weeks. Our thoughts are with their families.
When British armed forces were sent into Iraq they were told that Iraq
posed a direct threat to this country and had weapons of mass
destruction which threatened us all. This was a lie and known to be so
by our Prime Minister at the time.
Now our armed forces are being misused once again. Thousands of British
troops have been sent to the Helmland province of Southern Afghanistan.
They have been told they are on a mission to help reconstruct that
country and are engaged in a 'hearts and minds' operation. Two months
ago John Reid said that he hoped British troops would leave without
'firing a shot'. MFAW expresses the gravest concern about Mr Reid's
fairytale.
British armed forces are now engaged in a full-scale war in Afghanistan.
This engagement has not been debated or voted on in Parliament. Once
more our troops are being used as a cover for the excesses of George
Bush's foreign policy. Their patriotism is being abused.
Young men and women join our armed services in order to defend their
country and are proud to do so. They do not expect to have their oath of
allegiance betrayed by being sent to war under false pretences. Such is
the case with Afghanistan as it was with Iraq. Our campaign has been
contacted by many families of British servicemen and women who are
extremely concerned by this deployment.
We seek an urgent meeting with Defence Secretary Des Browne, to discuss
this perilous situation for our troops.

there is no need for these imperialist occupation troops to ever come home, the 'boys' in Afghanistan and Iraq respectively have more than enough will and firepower to bury them 'in situ'.
So, where is the problem?
Victory to the Resistance !
