Unquestioning Zionism has for decades been the entry ticket to the British
political and media Establishment. Anybody who was not a fully certified and
compliant zionist would find their career limited - as Jeremy Corbyn, Alan
Duncan, Robin Cook and David Mellor all found. Most others, of course, were
never allowed to progress that far.

In the media there are any number of examples - Antoinette Latouff, Emily
WIlder, Katie Halper, Gabriele Nunziati and Sangita Myska just from the top of
my head. Lack of enthusiasm for Israel is career destroying.

One consequence is that now, as the UK political system retches to try and vomit
up a new Prime Minister, every single one of the contenders - Andy Burnham,
Angela Rayner, Ed Miliband and Wes Strreting - has a long history of nailed-on,
certified zionism and relationship with both Israel and Labour Friends of
Israel, and is a long term recipient of zionist lobby cash.

The media have spent the last several days since the local elections studiously
ignoring the fact that support for Genocide is a key factor in alienating the
Labour Party's traditional voting base - or when they do mention it, relating it
only to Muslim voters. One thing we know for certain is that any probable new
Prime Minister is not going to change Britain's support for the genocidal
zionist entity.

Zionism has long poisoned the central nervous system of the UK body politic. For
many years, due to their media control, this system worked seamlessly. The media
portrayed a benign image of Israel as a bastion of liberal democratic values
under siege from corrupt and barbaric Arab peoples. The Genocide of
Palestinians, which has been in progress almost 80 years, proceeded at a pace
and by methods which rigorous media control made it possible to convince Western
audiences was not really happening at all.

When a kickback against Genocide came on October 7th 2023, media gatekeeping
made the declaration of condemnation of Hamas a ritual which had to be observed
to ensure purity before you were permitted to express anything else at all. The
media united around false atrocity stories of the events of October 7th. Then
they united around false Israeli narratives in which every Gazan hospital,
clinic, school, public utility and eventually home was a secret Hamas missile
base.

At this point, something broke. There was a spectacular burst in public
opinion. From being a lulling, soothing narrative of European civilisational
superiority, the zionist propaganda was revealed as obvious lies in the service
of the very worst atrocities man could do to man (and child).

The media covered up the horrors and the Israeli government raced to stem the
flow of images out of Gaza by murdering every journalist there, but public
belief in the zionist narrative was fatally damaged.

The result of that was western zionist governments became scared of their own
populations. In virtually every western state, extreme authoritarian measures
were adopted to limit free speech and punish pro-Palestinian protest. This was
followed by attempts to reinforce the exclusion from public life of non-zionists
by a new wave of accusations of anti-semitism, reinforced by waves of false flag
or agent provocateur organised "anti-semitic incidents".

Incidentally the Hasbara invented "Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya"
so-called terrorist group - actually an Israeli operated Telegram account - was
first "revealed" to the Western public by Joe Truzman of Israeli Washington
front organisation the Foundation for Defending Democracy (FDD). Nick Stewart of
FDD has subsequently been added to the Witkoff Kushner negotiating team with
Iran and flew to Islamabad with them.

The Iranians have entirely sensibly refused to engage with this group as simply
representing Israel.

That is where we are now, with extraordinary developments like the effort to
jail and debar Rajiv Menon KC for contempt of court for what I had called the
greatest legal speech I ever read, and the charging of thousands of peaceful
citizens under terrorism laws for supporting Palestine Action.

Those are but horrible symptoms of a wider malaise - and the fundamental shift
is that the majority of the population, and above all of younger people, now
realise that they are governed by a political and media class which acts in
service of a zionist project which is truly evil.

Cont'd ...
