Ed Miliband is the UK’s Foreign Secretary. He is a Marxist and a multimillionaire, the child of Jewish refugees, a hater of Israel and a defender of the cause of “Palestine.” Just now, he has denounced the Jewish state for supposedly denying medicine to Palestinians. He has, you see, heard “stories” about this cruel practice from Palestinians who, as we all know, always tell the truth. And now he has been slapped down for his retelling of falsehoods by Mike Huckabee, the American ambassador to Israel.
More on the execrable Miliband and Huckabee’s outraged response to the Foreign Secretary’s charge against Israel can be found here: “US accuses Miliband of ‘Jew hate’ over Gaza video,” by Melanie Swan, Telegraph, September 6, 2026:
The US ambassador to Israel has accused the British Government of “Jew hate” over Ed Miliband’s claims that medicines were being blocked from entering Gaza.
Mike Huckabee made the comment after the Foreign Secretary posted a video describing accounts he had heard from people who had worked inside the strip.
“Frankly, it was horrific, what is unfolding,” said Mr Miliband. “The stories that people were telling me of medicines being blocked, children dying while waiting for vital life-saving treatment.”
Mr Huckabee wrote on X: “The Brits have lost it. The Jew hate of their Government knows no boundaries and knows no facts.”
Israel’s foreign ministry hit out at Mr Miliband, saying: “If the Foreign Secretary were interested in facts rather than stories, he would know that there are no restrictions whatsoever on the entry of medicines into the Gaza Strip, and that no medicines are being blocked.”
However, there have been widespread reports – which have been corroborated by international NGOs – of medicine shortages inside Gaza throughout the war, including cases highlighted by The Telegraph in which chemotherapy drugs have run out mid-treatment.
Israel has facilitated the entry into Gaza of 182,000 tons of humanitarian aid — food and medicine — just since 2025. Hamas has seized some of that aid, including medicines, both to be distributed to its own members, or to be sold, at exorbitant prices, to ordinary people in Gaza. Some Gazans may have been unable to pay the prices Hamas was demanding for medicines. Furthermore, Hamas has used hospitals to store weapons and hide its fighters. Hospitals then have become places of combat, and some medicines may not always have survived the fighting. But there are no cases of Israel deliberately blocking medicines from entering Gaza.
Ed Miliband, however, is convinced that Israel has been blocking medicines. How does he know? Oh, he talked to some Palestinians, and they told him so. They told him their “horrific stories,” and that was enough for him.
Miliband’s evidence for his charge? Oh, that would be “the stories that people were telling me of medicines being blocked.” Why would Palestinians lie about such matters?
Miliband believes the stories the Palestinians tell him, even though they have an unbroken record of lying, and dismisses the response of the government of Israel, which has just as long a record of telling the truth. He should be asked to present his evidence for Israel deliberately withholding medicine from Gaza, something a bit more convincing than the “stories” he was told. And if he produces nothing, then he must apologize for blackening the name of the Jewish state. The man who appointed him, Andy Burnham, should then dismiss him. But neither Miliband, nor Burnham, will act as they should. The next election in the UK can’t come fast enough.

A Marxist and a multimillionaire. But often a common duo.
Talk about hypocrisy.
Turner-Robson says
Milliband has no idea of the truth but listens to lies without searching for the evidence the IDF has great value for human life and has taken people from Gaza to their own hospitals in Isreal at times for medical help and operations why do you listen to a people that only want to kill all Jews not only in Israel but the world and refuse to live in peace with their neighbours Milliband needs sacking immediately
Donald Breyer says
I don’t think there is a more execrable person in British politics than Ed Miliband. He has always banged the drum against Israel and I’m sure was just waiting for an opportunity, any opportunity, to attack Israel again. The slimebag loves to hide behind the “as a Jew” Jew con. He is also the freak who is the most hard line against fossil fuels, joyously driving Britain into poverty. He is pure malevolence and by making him Foreign Secretary it tells you that Andy Burnham is too.
