While condemning chants against the IDF (Bob Vylan led chants of 'Death, death to the IDF' during their set at Glastonbury) and criticizing settler violence in the occupied West Bank, health secretary seem to be deliberately ignoring #IDF’s systematic execution of unarmed Palestinians waiting for food aid in Gaza. His call for Israel to “get its own house in order” is somewhat cynical if not grotesque when measured against “Operation Salted Fish”—where Israeli soldiers were reported to have deliberately fired artillery and mortars at starving civilians, killing hundreds, in what one soldier called “a killing field.”
Like many Western politicians Streeting has mastered the art if compartmentalized condemnation which enables ongoing atrocities by focusing on peripheral violence, while refusing to name the core problem, which is the brutality of #Israel’s death machine which the UK and other Western countries enable.
