Eyeless in Gaza, from Balfour to Starmer
THE WEEK India
|October 05, 2025
One couldn't miss the several historic ironies when Britain declared support to a Palestine state last week.
One, we saw the original sinner at the confessional. It was Britain which had sowed the idea of a homeland in Palestine for the globally dispersed Jews in 1917, thereby triggering the strife that has been raging in the Middle East since. In the process, they two-timed the Arabs who had supported them against the Ottoman empire in the First World War. Remember the story of Lawrence of Arabia.
Two, it was a Jew who made the statement for Britain last week. Keir Starmer, though a Christian by birth and an atheist by faith, is a synagogue-goer. One may say that it is to keep shalom at home—his wife is a Jew—but many Jews consider him as one of them, as they did Benjamin Disraeli in the 19th century.
