The pro-Palestine movement has just reached a new level of anti-British hate

1 week ago | aol.co.uk | Jake Wallis Simons

How deeply would you have to hate Britain to damage our means of defending it? Last night, activists broke into RAF Brize Norton on electric scooters and sprayed red paint into the engines of two Airbus Voyager aircraft that are used to refuel airborne fighter jets. In an additional flick of symbolism, one of the planes bore the Union flag and had previously carried the Royal Family. The answer to my question, of course, is quite a lot.
Is Keir Starmer a Russian spy?

1 week ago | jakewallissimons.substack.com | Jake Wallis Simons

I’m convinced: Keir Starmer is a Russian spy. It’s the only plausible explanation. Today it emerged that the Government’s national security review is to expand the definition of “defence spending” to include broadband, Heathrow’s third runway, economic stability, food prices, supply chains and reducing crime.
Israel can see what Europe can’t: the Devil

2 weeks ago | aol.co.uk | Jake Wallis Simons

“The cleverest ruse of the Devil,” wrote Baudelaire in 1864, “is to persuade you he does not exist.” More than 160 years later, great swathes of Leftists, Israelophobes and Western leaders appear to have fallen under this spell when it comes to the regime in Tehran. Sir Keir Starmer delivered the usual message of pacifism on behalf of Britain.

Sanction speech in the Jewish state, tolerate antisemitism all around it - The Jewish Chronicle

2 weeks ago | thejc.com | Jake Wallis Simons

Erdogan has long been waging an appalling war against the Kurds of northern Syria, which has involved, of course, an occupation. Recently, the Turkish strongman has been ramping up the antisemitic rhetoric with remarks like, “they are murderers, to the point that they kill children who are five or six years old. They only are satisfied by sucking their blood” and praying that God may, “destroy and devastate Zionist Israel”.
Pathetic Britain has sanctioned Ben-Gvir and Smotrich

2 weeks ago | jakewallissimons.substack.com | Jake Wallis Simons

In Britain’s latest act of betrayal, today the government has sanctioned two Israeli ministers, Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, both of whom have made a name for themselves with inflammatory rhetoric about Gaza. Did Israel sanction Jeremy Corbyn back when he was leader of the opposition? It did not. I’m not defending the pair. But it shows how profoundly the government – which has failed to proscribe Iran’s IRGC or ban the Muslim Brotherhood – has lost its way.
Greta’s blind eye to murder

The Israelis know how to deport people. If this had been Britain, Greta Thunberg would be sitting in an asylum hotel right now, using a taxpayer-funded mobile phone, working as a Deliveroo driver and gearing up for 20 years of legal battles that will line the pockets of human rights lawyers. Good riddance, I say. My only regret is that Thunberg refused to watch the footage of October 7 at a screening provided by the Israeli authorities before she was sent back where she came from.
It's staggeringly offensive of Greta Thunberg to claim she's been 'kidnapped' when we know what real kidnap looks like: JAKE WALLIS SIMONS

Sometimes, a photograph says it all. This one showed Greta Thunberg, minutes after she was supposedly ‘kidnapped’ by Israeli naval forces, gratefully accepting a turkey sandwich. She was aboard a boat, the Madleen, with 11 other activists taking a tiny shipment of aid to Gaza – much of which they had already eaten, according to Israeli authorities. The rest was seized and given safely to the Palestinians using existing aid routes.

Weren’t you warning about the dangers of Iran just the other day?

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

The reports of these strikes are concerning and we urge all parties to step back and reduce tensions urgently. Escalation serves no one in the region. Stability in the Middle East must be the priority and we are engaging partners to de-escalate. Now is the time for restraint,

David Lammy literally said in May: “I am really crystal clear about this. Iran must never develop a nuclear weapon.” https://t.co/4zG3dokX3C

David Lammy @DavidLammy

Stability in the Middle East is vital for global security. I’m concerned to see reports of strikes overnight. Further escalation is a serious threat to peace & stability in the region and in no one’s interest. This is a dangerous moment & I urge all parties to show restraint.
