Britain not by tradition anti-Israeli? I suggest you read this speech by historian Andrew Roberts:

The latest anti-Israeli move by the British government:

The piece above in the Guardian is more or less an explicit call for a boycott of Israel. The authors even tell us where we can find the goods we need to boycott. The incitement is truly shocking. Check out, for example, this quote from a member of The Palestine Solidarity Campaign:

“Particularly following Israel’s massacre in Gaza, consumers have been shocked at Israel’s war crimes and want to take action. They do not want to feel complicit in Israel’s occupation by buying stolen goods.”

Reading the Guardian today, I feel like a German Jew perusing Der Stürmer in the 1930s. Am I still loyal to Britain? Why would I want to risk even a nose bleed for men like Ian Black, Rory McCarthy and James Meikle?

According to Isi Leibler in the JPost, Europe “betryed” Israel. NO, NO and NO! I sharply and passionately disagree and protest this! Let’s see one by one. The traditional anti-Israeli members like Ireland, Belgium-Luxemburg, and Sweden couldn’t have “betrayed” Israel ’cause they always hated it and would always have done anything to screw it, had it been up to them. France and Germany didn’t really betrayed Israel either, as Italy, Holland and the East Europeans didn’t either cause they were Israel’s shield against Sweden. After the dust settles it’s clear to see for everyone that ONLY ONE country betrayed Israel, and that is England (Let’s leave this “Britain” “phenomenon” away pls). They alone betrayed Israel, no one else. And Israel would be wise not to rest on its laurels stupidly as is its habits, but confront London frontally for once.

And one more thing if I may at the end - I spotted by chance on the pictures that the “honourable” Carl Bildt is dying his hair to be blonde. Now tell me, which psychologically sound, healthy 60 year old man in the world does this among normal circumstances…?

Letter to the Editor: UK MPs back Sweden over Palestinian capital

Published: 7 Dec 09

As EU foreign ministers gather in Brussels to debate the future of Israeli-Palestinian relations, a group of British MPs have come out in support of a Swedish proposal to establish East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state.

Dear Editor

We, Parliamentarians in the UK, would like to put on record our
support for the Swedish Presidency’s draft document calling for a
viable state of Palestine, comprising the West Bank and Gaza and with
East Jerusalem as its capital. Additionally, we entirely support its
reiteration that settlements, the separation barrier on occupied land
and the demolition of homes are illegal under international law and
constitute an obstacle to peace by threatening to make a two-state
solution impossible. We have asked our Foreign Secretary to endorse
this document at the meeting in Brussels on Monday 7th December.

We pay tribute to the Swedish Presidency for raising this and for
standing firm against attempts to derail this initiative.

Yours sincerely

Martin Linton M.P, Chair of British-Swedish All-Party Parliamentary
Group and Chair of Labour Friends of Palestine & the Middle East

UK MPs back Swedish presidency on Jerusalem

Published: 7 Dec 09

“A group of nearly 50 members of the British parliament have written a letter voicing their support for a controversial Swedish EU presidency proposal to recognize East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state.”

Sweden warns Israel: Don’t divide EU over Jerusalem stance

‘Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt warned Thursday that Israel must not play “divide and rule” with the 27-member European Union over a recent resolution calling for Jerusalem to become the shared capital of Israel and a future Palestinian state.

Bildt, whose country holds the EU’s rotating presidency, said Thursday the bloc was united and would not “remain shy” on so crucial an issue.’

‘Palestinians want West to force Israel to accept state’

“Defense establishment officials said Wednesday that the Palestinian Authority is orchestrating a diplomatic campaign with the international community to coerce Israel into accepting a political arrangement which would pave the way for the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Military Intelligence Chief Amos Yadlin, Shin Bet Director Yuval Diskin and other top defense officials told ministers during a briefing at the political-security cabinet that the Palestinian Authority is trying to push Israel into a settlement “from above” by drawing in the international community.”

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1134135.html

“The Council calls for further and sustained improvements of movement and access, noting that many check points and road blocks remain in place.” Recent reports suggest there are about 12 checkpoints, and, of course, most of the “roadblocks” are simply traffic barriers nuilt alongside the roads.

“The European Union will not recognize any changes to the pre-1967 borders including with regard to Jerusalem, other than those agreed by the parties.” For heaven’s sake - even GoogleMaps recognizes the Green Line as the 1948 Armistice Line not “borders” - have these ministers ever looked at a map, and do they know anything at all about the history of the area?

Their meeting was a waste of time and paper.
