Britain denounced for defending Israel in international forums
2017-01-17
Support of Israel has become a major differentiator -- the way the Tories can peel nationalist and Jewish votes and donations away from Mr. Corbyn's increasingly antisemitic, shrinking Labour party. They're still figuring it out, however.
[IsraelTimes] After UK blocks EU from endorsing Gay Paree conference communique, Paleostinian and European officials accuse London of aligning with Jerusalem to cozy up to Trump.

Paleostinian and European officials on Monday slammed the UK’s apparent readiness to defy international consensus and stand up for Israel, accusing London of aligning with Jerusalem to garner favor with the incoming Trump administration.

On Sunday, UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson attended the Gay Paree peace conference but refused to sign the joint declaration issued by all but two participating countries (Australia also refused to sign the document).

#5  Germany is indeed supplying Israel with submarines, and probably other things. But they are also part of EU efforts to support -- through donated supplies and funding -- Palestinian settlement building efforts in the West Bank, blatantly ignoring Israeli requests for consultation first; labelling settlement products to facilitate boycotts; and other anti-Israel efforts they position as being the kind of feedback friends give to those who have not learnt the lessons of the Nazi era as they have.

#4  BP: "The German led EUSSR is descending into Jew hatred again."

France more than Germany.

Also, Germany is supplying Israel with submarines and has for many years.

#3  After the wall fell, only 25% of Germans admitted to hating Jews in a poll, the lowest ever recorded. In those days such ideas were considered ignorant. That was before the "educated" left gave it the figleaf of anti-Zionism. Now fire bombing a synagogue is an understandable expression of distaste for Israel daring to defend itself.
