Labour Councillors Keep Quitting Over Party 'Endorsing' Israeli War Crimes Simon Childs: Councillors and activists keep quitting the Labour party over its leadership "seeming to condone" Israeli war crimes. On Monday, Cllr Amna Abdullatif, the first Arab woman on Manchester city council, said she was "devastated to now have no other choice" than to resign from the Labour whip and the party "due to Keir Starmer and a number of his senior front bench making horrifying comments about Israel having the right to withhold fuel, water, food and electricity from the 2.2 million Palestinains trapped in Gaza, effectively endorsing a war crime." On Saturday, Cllr Jessie Hoskin, from Stroud district council, quit the party. She said, "I am horrified by the loss of life in Israel and Palestine. Two million Palestinians in Gaza, who had nothing to do with Hamas' actions should not be punished collectively for it." "The Labour party is no longer consistent with the values of human dignity, equality, and a world where everyone is safe and has what they need to thrive that I believe in and will continue to organise for in other areas of my work." Last week, a pair of Oxford councillors, Shaista Aziz and Amar Latif, quit the party over Starmer's comments, "seeming to condone the use of collective punishment against the people of Gaza in direct contravention of international law."
