When Keir Starmer announced his updated
Labour manifesto, the wording around the
Palestinian state changed. They removed the
word “immediate” and instead added the word
“inalienable”. This meant that the recognition of
a Palestinian state was no longer an immediate
risk, but it was a certain one. We warned before
the General Election that Starmer’s stance on
Palestinian recognition was “even worse than
Corbyn’s”, because now Labour was saying that
Palestinians had such a claim over the land, that
a Palestinian state was the “inalienable right of
the Palestinian people”. This means their claim
to the land was both absolute and unable to be
taken away.
That terminology is what we would use to speak
of Israel’s claim to the land of Israel. In fact, Israel

right” to their land. Why? Because God owns
that land, and He gave it to the Jewish people,
as decreed in the Bible, to be theirs forever. In
God’s view it is non-negotiable.
The change in Labour’s terminology showed that
their support for the Palestinians was no longer
a political view but part of an ideology. The same
people who protest vehemently against Israel’s
existence and claim that “no state has the right
to exist”, are the same ones supporting Labour’s
claim that the Palestinians have an “inalienable
right” to a state.
These people have been duped into denying
only one indigenous group to their homeland:
The Jews.
They are willing to change the rules, to shift
their beliefs, because they are working to
the same aim as the enemies of Israel’s past:
“With cunning they scheme
against Your people and conspire
against those You cherish,
saying,‘Come,’ they say, ‘let us
destroy them as a nation, so that
Israel’s name is remembered
no more.’ For with one mind
they plot together, they form an
alliance against You.” (Psalm 83:4)
This 3,000 year old Psalm is just
as relevant today as it was when
it was first written.
Whether it is the enemies plans
to wipe out Israel militarily, the
deceptiveness of the media to
turn hearts against Israel, the
hatred on the streets spreading
fear so others won’t speak out, or
the scheming of politicians to lead
their nations down a dark path.
