Sir Keir Starmer today lashed out at Hamas 'terrorists' who murdered men, women and children 'in cold blood' as he tacitly slapped down pro-Palestinian hard Left Labour members.
The party leader used his keynote conference speech in Liverpool to hammer home the party's support for Israel after the anti-Semitism crisis of the Jeremy Corbyn era.
To applause he said that Israel had a right to defend itself and tore into Hamas, saying its bloody campaign that has left hundreds dead 'does nothing for Palestine'.
It came after leftwing Labour MPs shared a platform with the Palestinian ambassador in the aftermath of Hamas's bloody assault on Israel, and refused to blame the terrorist group directly for the killing, raping and kidnapping of civilians.
