‘Where is your humanity?’: Moment pro-Palestine activist accosts Keir Starmer on a train in a bid to grill the Labour leader over his refusal to back a ceasefire in Gaza
Sir Keir Starmer was approached by a pro-Palestinian activist on the train and the Labor Party leader was asked about his position on the Gaza crisis.
In footage widely shared on social media, Sir Keir is asked: “Where is your humanity?”
Video taken by himself shows the pro-Palestinian supporter approaching the Labor Party leader as he and an aide look at a laptop on a train carriage.
Sir Keir, who has remained silent throughout, is then criticized for his refusal to support a full ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
The protester is then led away by two men, one of whom is later revealed to be a British Transport Police officer.

The conflict between Israel and Hamas has caused weeks of tension within the Labor Party, with Sir Keir coming under intense pressure to support a full ceasefire.
But he remains steadfast in his position that Israel has the right to self-defense following the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks.
Footage on social media shows Labor’s frustration over the death toll in the Gaza Strip from the conflict.
He is asked: “Keir, how many more children in Palestine must die before you call for a ceasefire?”
“More than 7,000 children died, more than 7,000 children were killed by Israel.
“What happened to human rights? What happened to democracy? We call for peace, we call for democracy.
“We don’t see anything like that when it comes to the Palestinians: 7,000 children, how many more have to die?” 20,000 people, how many more people must die?
“This is unacceptable, where is your humanity?”
As the activist is taken away by two men, he says: “Please don’t touch me. I am not doing anything bad. I paid for the ticket, I’m on the train.”
Other footage posted on social media this evening also showed Sir Keir being approached by other pro-Palestinian supporters at Glasgow train station.
A group of people are milling around, some carrying Palestinian flags and some shouting at the Labor leader.
Footage provided by the group Stop the War in Glasgow also claims the Labor Party leader drives off in a car amid cries of “Free, free, Palestine”.
At least 17,177 Palestinians have been killed since October 7, according to Gaza’s health ministry.
Local officials estimate that about 70 percent of the dead in the Gaza Strip are women and children under 18.
MailOnline has contacted Sir Keir’s office and British Transport Police for comment.
