The extent to which the influence of the Friends of Israel and other Jewish lobbies have become dominant in British political life or in society is both shocking and alarming. This time it is none other than Bozo Boris himself who is leaning over backwards to appease the Conservative Friends of Israel, with his assurance that his "government opposed this particular inquiry into Israel" adding that “This investigation gives the impression of being a partial and prejudicial attack on a friend and ally of the UK’s,” He was of course referring to the International Criminal Court investigation into alleged war crimes in the Israeli-occupied territories. His pathetic reasoning for this stance is that “Israel is not a party to the statute of Rome [that established the court] and Palestine is not a sovereign state”. In addition, he endorses Benjamin Netanyahu's statement, no doubt agreed by the Americans, that Israel rejected the case as “undiluted antisemitism and the height of hypocrisy”.
With the United States, the United Kingdom and of course Israel. the investigation is unlikely to take place, but even if it does, any findings will be totally ignored on both sides of the Atlantic. In the face of all the evidence of Israeli war crimes in Gaza, the West Bank and thought-out the Occupied territories The British Government follows the dogma of appeasement to Israel regardless of circumstances,
Why is it that the collective guilty conscience surrounding the Holocaust remains so prevalent in the western world and in fact seems to be growing stronger as time passes?
We have seen how the activities of these lobbies has in recent years influenced the structure of political parties, the foreign policies of nations and not least of all the way in which legislation has been enacted in this country to effectively ban any criticism of Israel and to criminalise anyone deemed to be acting or speaking in any way which can be labelled as antiemetic, no matter how tenuous a link may be.
It is a frightening fact that Israel and those who support Israel, can do nothing wrong and we have given them carte blanche to carry on with the obscene policies towards Palestinians and others, as decreed in Tel Aviv. This acquiescence will return to haunt us all in the future
