The British Government returns to Its Jew Hating Ways
Melanie Philips who is a British Journalist who has a full command of the
history and politics of the Middle East. She exposes the current British
Government. Here is an open letter from her to Prime Minister Cameron
which is right on target.
If Britain continues its duplicity they will be on the wrong side of
history and the wrong side of G-d.
Dear Prime Minister,
I was interested to read that, when you met Israel's Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu this week, you said:
'Britain is a good friend of Israel and our support for Israel and
Israel's security is something I have described in the past, and will do
so again, as unshakeable.'
I wonder, therefore, if you make a habit of threatening your friends? For
you also said that unless Israel 'engages seriously in a meaningful peace
process' with the Palestinian Authority, the more likely it is that
Britain will endorse the 'State of Palestine' for which the PA is
expected to seek recognition at the UN in September.
This is not the behaviour of a friend so much as the kind of intimidation
that is more reminiscent of a Mafia protection racket.
First of all, you have incomprehensibly decided to pressure the victim in
this conflict to make peace with her aggressor, even though the victim is
the one party that constantly tries to make peace while the aggressor
does not. It is the PA which has refused to negotiate with Israel, not the
other way round, on the spurious grounds that Israeli expansion of Jewish
homes beyond the 'Green Line' is a bar to negotiations.
I wonder whether you might explain to both Britain and the Jewish people
why you do not insist that Mr Abbas 'engages seriously in a meaningful
peace process' by unambiguously renouncing - in both English and Arabic -
his repeated assertions that his people will never accept Israel as a
Jewish state, the casus belli of the entire conflict?
I wonder also if you might explain to both Britain and the Jewish people
why you implicitly endorse the racist ethnic cleansing inherent in the
putative 'State of Palestine' which the PA says it will declare - a state
in which Mr Abbas has repeatedly declared that not one Jew will be
allowed to live - but which you have now threatened to support? I'm sure the
British people in particular would be interested to know when you decided
that racism and ethnic cleansing were part of your modernizing program
for the Conservative Party.
Next, I wonder if you might clarify for us exactly why the British
government has welcomed the alliance entered into between Hamas and Mr
Abbas's Fatah, and why you believe that this will advance the cause of
peace. As you know, your government still regards Hamas as a terrorist
organisation. More than that, Hamas is explicitly committed to the
destruction of Israel and the genocide of the Jews, a platform from which
is has explicitly stated this week that it will not resile. And as you
know, following the killing of Osama bin Laden the leader of Hamas in
Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh, condemned the 'assassination of a Muslim holy
warrior' - while for their part the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, the
terrorist department of the Fatah organization that you do not appear to
think is an obstacle to peace, called bin Laden's death 'a catastrophe'
and vowed to step up the jihad to establish the dominance of Islam in the
world.
I'm sure we are all agog to learn why you, a Conservative Prime Minister
and the supposed ally of America in the defense of the free world, have
chosen not only to applaud and promote a coalition which includes
genocidal fanatics who are in bed with both al Qaeda and Iran, but why
you are also threatening their victim, Israel, that Britain will endorse a
state run by this genocidal coalition unless Israel itself enters into
negotiations with it. To carry on with the Mafia analogy, this is akin to
threatening someone that if they do not put a gun in their mouth and pull
the trigger you will set the Mob on them to achieve the same result.
I'd be grateful if you could explain to us why you support the killing of
the leader of al Qaeda, as well as sanctions against Iran on the grounds
that both represent an unconscionable threat to the free world, and yet
at the same time demand of Israel that it makes concessions to a coalition
made up of the allies of Iran and al Qaeda. I'm sure we'd all like to
know, if this is how you treat your 'friends', how you would treat your
enemies.
I realize, Prime Minister, that before you achieved high office your
knowledge of and interest in foreign affairs was hovering around the zero
mark. As a result, it is likely that your only knowledge of the Middle
East comes from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, which has a history
of virulent antagonism towards the Jewish people. I would also expect,
however, that you have an eye to your own place in history, and that you
would probably like to be viewed by future generations as the British
Prime Minister who stood shoulder to shoulder with the victims of
genocidal aggression against their destroyers, rather than the other way
round.
If you are to get this the right way round and thus avoid such posthumous
infamy, it is vital that you come to realize the key point about the
Middle East impasse. To arrive at a solution, it is imperative first of
all correctly to identify the problem. The problem in the Middle East is
not the absence of a state of Palestine. Were that the case, the problem
would have been resolved when such a state was first mooted long before
World War Two. The problem is instead that the Arabs wish to destroy the
State of Israel. The solution, therefore, is to stop them from continuing
to try to do so. And to achieve that, it is essential that the west stop
rewarding them for their attempts.
For the single most important reason for the never-ending nature of the
Middle East impasse is that, uniquely, for more than nine decades the
west has rewarded the Arab aggressors and punished their Jewish victims. And
from the start, the western leader of this infernal process, I'm afraid
to say, was Britain.
It was the British who, out of sheer breathtaking malice against the
Jewish people, first incited the (hitherto mainly benignly disposed)
Arabs against the Jews returning to their ancestral homeland in Palestine in
the early years of the 20th century. It was the British who set out to
undermine and reverse their own government's policy to re-establish the
Jewish national home in the land of Israel. It was the British who
reneged on their internationally binding treaty obligation to settle the Jews
throughout Palestine - including the areas currently known as the 'West
Bank' and Gaza - with the result that they kept out desperate Jews trying
to flee Nazi Europe, causing thousands to be murdered in the Holocaust.
At the same time, they encouraged Arab immigration from neighboring
countries and turned a blind eye to the pogroms carried out by these Arab newcomers
against the Jews whose land it was supposed to be -thus laying the
groundwork for the false claim that the Arabs
were the rightful inheritors of the land. And all the time, the British
cloaked this vicious treachery in the honeyed fiction that they were the
true friends of the Jewish people and had their interests at heart.
The history of the British in this terrible conflict between Jew and Arab
is not merely a chronicle of the utmost perfidy and malevolent
Judeophobic bigotry. It is also directly responsible for the continuation of the
conflict to this day. For Arab aggression against the Jews has been
rewarded and encouraged from the start, by robbing the Jews of their
rightful inheritance and giving great chunks of it to their aggressors.
But if aggressors are rewarded, the inevitable result is more aggression
until they achieve their final terrible aim.
And that very same process is in evidence today, with Britain's grotesque
endorsement this week of the coalition for genocide and your government's
unconscionable pressure upon Israel to negotiate its own destruction with
its mortal enemies. Prime Minister, the virus of Judeophobia is now
rampant once again throughout Europe - let alone in the Arab and Muslim
world. And the fuel for this fire is the set of genocidal falsehoods
about the Arab and Muslim war of extermination against Israel, a Big lie which
has turned victim into aggressor and vice versa. Appallingly, the British
government is helping stoke this vile inferno by endorsing many of these
falsehoods - and now, worse still, by actually promoting the coalition of
genocide and turning the screw on its victim. The similarities with the
1930s and 1940s are uncanny and horrifying - similarities not just with
what was allowed to develop in Europe, but also what happened in
Palestine itself, the source of today's terrible impasse.
Prime Minister, if you are not very careful indeed history will judge
that you re-established a direct line back to the malevolence of the British
in Palestine; back to that terrible time when Britain so foully betrayed the
Jewish people and became a party to genocide; back to the approach which
gave genocidal fanatics hope that victory was within their grasp. To
stand up against all this - the defining madness of our times - would demand of
you, I know full well, the utmost statesmanship and moral courage. But
the alternative is to earn the contempt of decent people everywhere and the
scorn of posterity. The choice, Prime Minister, is yours.
