Скачать или смотреть Holocaust survivor destroys Israel and Keir Starmer

Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos joins us in the studio to deliver a searing critique of Israel’s actions in Gaza, Keir Starmer’s leadership, and the UK’s political establishment. Drawing on his own childhood experiences of persecution, Stephen reflects on the dangers of racism, militarism, and the misuse of Holocaust memory to justify oppression.

A lifelong activist, Stephen shares how visits to Israel opened his eyes to the realities of occupation and systemic discrimination against Palestinians. He condemns the disproportionate attacks on Gaza, the ongoing humiliation in the West Bank, and the UK government’s military and diplomatic support for Israel.

Stephen also details his experiences at pro-Palestine protests, including increased police hostility and attempts to provoke unrest. As a Jewish voice in these demonstrations, he challenges the false narrative that Jewish communities uniformly support Israeli policy, exposing how antisemitism accusations have been weaponised to silence criticism.

Similarly in the Labour Party, Stephen recounts how he once supported Keir Starmer, only to be disillusioned by the leader’s embrace of right-wing factions and his signing of the Board of Deputies’ controversial Ten Pledges. He argues this was part of a calculated campaign to crush the left and dismantle the grassroots movement built under Jeremy Corbyn.
