Labour’s Byelection Candidate Stayed Quiet on Israel’s Genocide in Gaza

6 days ago by okwithmydecay to c/uk_politics

The Labour candidate seeking to win former prime minister Keir Starmer’s seat has failed to condemn Israel’s genocide in Gaza but has criticised the recent Green party ‘Zionism is Racism’ motion as “divisive”.

Abdi-Wali has not publicly spoken about Israel’s devastation of Gaza at any point between October 2023 and her selection as Labour’s byelection candidate, according to a detailed feature in Tribune magazine.

I mean I guess silence is making a choice.

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears, and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose free will

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
