When UK vigils began only about forty percnt of uk public oposed israel. Now its over 80 percent, and more than half regard the genocide as a genocide. Gaza is the great moral issue of the age, and at least six per cent of the population (Muslims) regard it that way. So too does an increasing segment of UK tiny Jewish pupulation.

IMO Miliband is sincere. He took the Labour party from Recognition to Policy. He has not persuaded b
urnham to name the
gennocide. Burnham is merely a clever opportunist; he knows he cannot contue arming israel once he recognises the Genocide;

but he also knows knows he will face a storm at the next Conference conference if he has not already done so. Even the PLP careerist fear this issue could now turn by-elections

This is why the upcoming Holborn election is significant. Lifeboaters are hoping for a Workers Party Win- a defeat for the liberal tossers and wankers. Palestinians (ask them) want it to be Zak Polanski. Like the change of policiy, It will relieve their sense of having been totally forgotten by Western publics.
