Pro-Israel lobby in the U.K.

COMMENT -

‘We need to talk about the pro-Israel lobby in the U.K.’

The Labour Friends of Israel, the Conservative Friends of Israel, and the Board of Deputies have made significant inroads in UK politics.

They have enabled the UK's unqualified support for Israel’s genocide.




CONSERVATIVE FRIENDS OF ISRAEL

“In April, the former Conservative minister Sir Alan Duncan provoked outrage when he suggested the lobby group Conservative Friends of Israel (CFI) does the bidding of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government …

“Today, at least 80% of Conservative Party MPs are involved with CFI …


LABOUR FRIENDS OF ISRAEL

“[Sitting] Labour MPs have accepted over £280,000 in donations from pro-Israel groups or individuals, and Labour Friends of Israel fund a significant number of the Labour shadow cabinet 

“Keir Starmer himself dismissed Amnesty International’s conclusive findings that Israel practices the crime of apartheid, and as Israel unlawfully cut off food, water, and electricity from all of Gaza after October 7 … publicly encouraged the collective punishment …

“Trevor Chinn, an early backer of CFI … was a key supporter of Keir Starmer’s leadership campaign — in which he boasted about supporting Zionism without qualification — with a contribution of £50,000 …


THE BOARD OF DEPUTIES

“When the United Nations established a fact-finding mission to investigate Israel’s 2008 Gaza assault, the Board demanded Britain reject it.

“True to form, during Israel’s International Court of Justice trial, the Board was quick to applaud the British government’s dismissal of the case …


“… [In] 2018, when Israeli forces killed over 120 Palestinians peacefully marching and demanding the right to return, the Board of Deputies issued a statement that appeared to lay the blame on the Palestinians, implying Israel’s indiscriminate gunfire at unarmed civilians was a defense against a ‘mass invasion’ …

“Its recent board president Jonathan Arkush stated explicitly, ‘we lobby unashamedly for Israel …’”

Nazis.

PETER OBONE: ‘It’s time to put Conservatives’ links with Israel under the spotlight’

“… [It] is all but impossible for Palestinians voices to get seriously heard either in the Conservative Party or in the House of Commons.

“[Conservative Friends of Israel] has never made a noise about what historian Richard Evans recently labelled the ‘murderous criminality’ of Israel’s illegal settlement-building programme …

“It didn’t criticise the 2018 nation-state law, which effectively established two categories of Israeli citizenship – one for Jews and one for Arabs, opening Israel up to the judgement, shared by all major human groups, that it is an apartheid state.

“It never rebukes the naked racism, and notoriously genocidal discourse, of Netanyahu and his ministers.


“Indeed, as far as I can tell, it has not criticised a single action of Israel during this terrible Gaza war.

“Ahead of publication, I asked CFI whether it had ever criticised any action by Israel.

“No reply …”

  1. UK doctors: ‘There are good reasons to fear a cancer surge as a consequence of the mRNA vaccines’


    “The covid vaccines skipped safety testing for cancer risk.

    “Pfizer said genotoxicity, carcinogenicity and biodistribution studies were ‘not considered necessary’ …

    “The vaccines can hypothetically contribute to that outcome in multiple ways:

    * Constant production of a mixture of foreign proteins will lead to chronic inflammation and potentially immune exhaustion
    * Modified nucleotides increase risk of cancer
    * Spike protein damaging genes that protect cells from cancer
    * Contaminant DNA that can integrate into the recipient’s DNA and damage protective genes or else enhance growth promoting genes …

    “There are good reasons to fear a cancer surge as a consequence of the mRNA vaccines …

    “The regulators failed the public catastrophically with these novel products.”

    1. "Spike protein damaging genes that protect cells from cancer".


      Yes, indeed. BRCA1 and BRCA2 are examples of genes that raise your cancer risk if they become altered or compromised. Equally or should I say, worse still, P53 also known as Tumor protein P53, cellular tumor antigen P53 (UniProt name), or transformation-related protein 53 (TRP53) is a regulatory protein that is often mutated in human cancers. The spike protein has massively compromised these genes.

      Turbo Cancer all the way when there's nothing to stop it.

  2. NATO is starting to deploy troops in Ukraine


    “NATO is starting to deploy combat troops to Ukraine. 

    “They are in uniform and mostly are concentrated in the western part of the country, although in some cases they are close to the actual fighting in the east.

    “Soldiers from Poland, France, the UK, Finland and other NATO members are arriving in larger numbers …

    “More or less this is the same pattern that the US used when it sent ‘advisors’ to Vietnam. In fact, they were US Special Forces who engaged in combat.

    “NATO is putting out the word these are not combat soldiers but are in Ukraine to operate sophisticated western hardware. 

    “But if they are firing at the Russians the only proper way to interpret their presence is they are playing an active part in the shooting war …

    “The consensus opinion in the US National Security establishment is that Ukraine is losing …

    “NATO's plan seems to be to try and ward off disaster by filling in gaps in Ukraine's forces by importing ‘advisers’, waiting for the US to commit its army to the battle after the election in November. 

    “The Russians know this and are in a race to try and collapse Ukraine's army before Biden returns to office, if in fact he does. 

    “If the Russians are successful, a bigger war in Europe will be avoided. 

    “If not, with the introduction of US forces, Europe will be plunged into World War III.”

  3. ‘Horrific violence’ as counter-protesters attack a pro-Palestinian encampment on the University of California campus in Los Angeles, with running clashes continuing for hours in the absence of police


    “Many commenters noted the lack of LAPD or UCLA campus police presence during the worst of the violence.”

    “LA Times reporter Teresa Watanabe reported that the group who attacked the encampment several hours ago were approximately 200 strong:

    “@TeresaWatanabe:

    “‘Pro-Israel counterprotestors started tearing down @UCLA encampment barriers and screamed "Second nakba!" referring to the mass displacement & dispossession of Palestinians during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.’
