Keir Starmer's Secret War on Gaza with Matt Kennard
from The Thinking Muslim
There’s an assumption that the West have remained honest brokers in the Gaza genocide, or at least critical friends of Israel. My guest today Matt Kennard argues that contrary to public utterances, the British government, like the Americans are deeply involved in Israel’s merciless bombing of Gaza. They are providing military support, intelligence, diplomatic cover whilst at the same time claiming they want a quick resolution to the slaughter.Matt is an independent journalist and author of three books Irregular Army, Silent coup and The RacketLet me remind all viewers that to help us continue to engage critical thought at this time, Please consider becoming a Patron. https://www.patreon.com/TheThinkingMuslimYou can also support The Thinking Muslim through a one-time donation: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/DonateListen to the audio version of the podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7vXiAjVFnhNI3T9Gkw636aApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-thinking-muslim/id1471798762Sign up to Muhammad Jalal's newsletter: https://jalalayn.substack.comPurchase our Thinking Muslim mug: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/merch Find us on:Patron. https://www.patreon.com/TheThinkingMuslimTwitter: https://twitter.com/thinking_muslimFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Thinking-Muslim-Podcast-105790781361490Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinkingmuslimpodcast/Telegram: https://t.me/thinkingmuslim Host: https://twitter.com/jalalaynWebsite Archive: https://www.thinkingmuslim.comTimestamps: 0:00 – Introduction 2:03 – Britain’s participation in the Gaza genocide7:48 – The secrecy around the intelligence 10:26 – Britain leads in giving intelligence to Israel12:11 – How do we apply pressure on the Labour government?15:37 – We need transparency around Cyprus24:23 – Mainstream media’s complicity32:15 – Has the Labour government really shifted?37:29 – Labour has lost control of the narrative42:37 – How can the activist space reset their focus51:42 – How do we recalibrate the Palestinian movement 54:11 – Have people moved on from Gaza?59:29 – What can we do?1:04:31 – The role of the Muslim Community Hosted on Acast.
