Speaking after Keir Starmer's announcement that the UK government has recognised Palestinian statehood, Gerry Carroll said: "It is a welcome move that Britain, the nation that created Israel and subjected Palestinians to terror and repression for well over a hundred years, has now recognised that Palestine should exist as a state."
"For Palestine or any state to exist, we need to address the fact that its neighbour, the state next door, is a bullying, nuclear armed and genocidal project."
"A state for Palestinians is the bare minimum required. We also need an end to Zionist apartheid, genocide, ethnic cleansing and to grant millions of displaced Palestinians the right to return."
