UK prime minister Keir Starmer is under fire after remarks critics say deliberately blur the line between Jewish identity and the actions of the Israeli state, while also smearing peaceful pro-Palestine protests by associating them with unrelated violence. Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) deputy director Peter Leary, speaking to Sky News, said the prime minister’s comments were “extremely irresponsible”, accusing him of pushing a false narrative on two fronts: equating Jewish people with Israel, and linking mass anti-genocide demonstrations with isolated violent incidents. Referring to events in Golders Green, Leary said there is “no connection whatsoever” between those incidents and the protests that have seen hundreds of thousands take to the streets. He highlighted that the marches consistently include large numbers of Jewish participants, many openly organising and marching as part of Jewish blocs, directly undermining Starmer’s framing. Leary stressed the movement’s message is clear and unchanged: opposition to Israel’s genocide against Palestinians, demands for an arms embargo and sanctions.

In the Bureij refugee camp in Gaza, 26-year-old artist Areej al-Saafin stands before walls filled with charcoal drawings of eyes, each one shaped by loss. She lost her own eye in an Israeli airstrike, a moment that reshaped not only her vision but her entire life. "I was injured in the war and lost my eye," she says, describing how blurred sight now follows every line she draws. With no materials left after her home and artwork were destroyed, she burns wood to make charcoal, even recalling how she and her family were forced to burn clothes and remaining belongings just to cook. Her art has narrowed, becoming more personal and more raw. "Before the war, I used to draw more broadly, but after my injury, I only draw eyes," she says, her work now reflecting what she calls the anger and suffering surrounding her. "I am still only 26 years old, a girl who just wants to live her life normally," she adds. "But this suffering has buried me alive."
