    What's with this not taking any more prospective nazis as from next year?
    If it's wrong to accept them then, it's wrong to have them there now.
    Chuck the fuckers out!
    That Maj Gen Baram...another bare faced liar, goes unchallenged as you would expect!

    Britain bans Israelis from prestigious military academy

    Israelis have been banned from one of Britain’s most prestigious defence academies over the war in Gaza.

    The Royal College of Defence Studies will not accept students from Israel from next year, the Government confirmed.

    Amir Baram, the director general of Israel’s defence ministry, who studied at the college, said the decision was “a profoundly dishonourable act of disloyalty to an ally at war”.

    In a letter to the Ministry of Defence (MoD), shared with The Telegraph, he called it a “discriminatory act” that amounted to a “disgraceful break with Britain’s proud tradition of tolerance – and plain decency”.

    It is the first time that the college has excluded Israelis.

    Maj Gen Baram said the decision came at a time when Israel was “defending international shipping from Houthi aggression, preventing nuclear weapons from falling into the hands of an Islamist regime that chants ‘Death to England’, and fighting to bring home 48 hostages from Hamas captivity”.

    “The establishment’s response is to silence Israeli voices... Frankly, Israel’s exclusion is nothing less than an act of self-sabotage of British security,” the director general added.

    An MoD spokesman said British military educational courses had long been open to personnel from a “wide range of countries, with all UK military courses emphasising compliance with international humanitarian law”.

    He added: “However, the Israeli government’s decision to further escalate its military operation in Gaza is wrong.

    “There must be a diplomatic solution to end this war now, with an immediate ceasefire, the return of the hostages and a surge in humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza.”...
