‘Strings attached’ very gentle way of putting it
The Guardian reported today that two years ago a controversial study by American academics Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer explored the influence of the Israel lobby over US foreign policy “but Britain's pro-Israel organisations have been subjected to far to less scrutiny.”
This is indeed the case, and as Oborne disclosed, both British politicians and Zionist pressure groups enjoy it to the max.
In the film Sir Richard Dalton, a former ambassador to Libya and Iran, said: "I don't believe, and I don't think anybody else believes these contributions come with no strings attached."
I would suggest that ‘strings attached’ is a very gentle way of putting it.
‘Chained to submission’ would be far closer to the truth.
Seemingly a British, consensus case against Zionism and Zionist infiltration is piling up.
Controlling BBC
The Jewish lobby is not happy at all.
After so many years of setting the tone, bribing UK politicians and controlling the BBC they are used to being untouchable.
Labor MP Denis MacShane, who operates as the House of Common’s UK equivalent of the ‘anti defamation league’ told the Jerusalem Post:
"If there is a Jewish /Israel lobby here, it is not very effective, as Israel is almost treated as a pariah state in the media and has few friends in politics."
MacShane may be right; one cannot buy friendship with money.
But according to Monday’s broadcast one can certainly buy British politician’s subservience for just a few shekels.
Half of Tories ‘friends of Israel’
According to the Guardian 50% of the Shadow Cabinet are now ‘friends of Israel’.
In that context one common saying comes to mind.
“Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are”.
I would assume that if there was any public respect left for the British Parliament, British political parties and the BBC, it should be gone by now.
Just a few months ago Brits were devastated to find out about their MPs' personal expenses bills.
|
Yesterday they learned about their leading politician’s affiliation with the darkest possible regime and ideology around.
They also learned that their national broadcast corporation is influenced by Zionists pressure groups run from Jerusalem.
Investigating criminal gang?
Murderous state with devastating record of crimes
Mark Gardner from the Zionist ‘Community Security Trust’ is not happy either.
He complained that Dispatches producers behaved as if they were investigating a “criminal gang rather than various Jewish community-linked organizations,”
Gardner is also correct.
It is indeed tragic to admit that the Jewish lobby is far more worrying than a criminal gang.
It is there to serve a murderous state with a devastating record of crimes against humanity.
Thanks to the Jewish lobby, we are all complicit in the Zionist crime.
Contaminates every politician
Not only are those lobbyists heavily corrupted and removed from any ethical value system, they also corrupt everything they touch.
They obviously contaminate every politician who is happy to take their shekels.
Consequently they incriminate us all as a society.
Watching Cannel 4’s Dispatches yesterday I wondered to myself whether this is the ‘democracy’ some British politicians, such as David Miliband insist on spreading around.
I also wonder whether this is the governing model that Jewish Chronicle writer Nick Cohen and the Israeli Hasbara committee author David Aaronovitch were trying to promote when they were supporting the invasion of back Iraq in 2003.
Political commentator Peter Oborne indeed fulfilled his promise.
He told us almost everything we want to know about the lobby:
“Who they are, how they are funded, how they work and what influence they have, from the key groups to the wealthy individuals who help bankroll the lobbying.”

Britain taken into Iraq war — Lord Levy Number 1 Labour fund-raiser.
However, there is a single observation that must be added.
People out there must never forget that Britain was taken into a war that cost more than a million Iraqi lives and at the time Lord Levy was the Number 1 Labour fund-raiser.
Putting the two together: an illegal war that only serves Israeli interests and Sir Richard Dalton’s observation that Zionist ‘contribution’ comes with ‘strings attached’, leaves a very bitter taste.
Due to its heavily corrupted politicians, Britain is now willingly serving the darkest possible racist national ideology and supporting a criminal terrorist state.
British politicians and media are caught in bed with too many Zionist wolfs.
In order to reclaim sovereignty and dignity, Britain must de-Zionise itself immediately.

Zionist Control of Britain’s Government: 1940-2009 |
|
by William A. Cook November 20th, 2009 This week the British people listened to the Daily Mall’s Peter Oborne present, on Channel 4, his devastating account of the Jewish lobby’s control of their government. Now we know that virtually all the principal politicians in the UK of both parties, like their brothers across the lake in our House and Senate, take “contributions” from the Israeli lobby machine ensuring that the Anglo-American mid-east policies follow the dictates of the Israeli government. Gilad Atzmon responded to this report in his article “Britain must de-Zionise itself immediately,” noting that this control has been in place for so many years the lobby feels “untouchable.” How many years are “many” one might ask? In 1941, the High Commissioner of Palestine, Harold MacMichael, Senior Palestine Mandate officer for the British Mandate forces in Palestine, sent the following “Top Secret” “Memorandum on the Participation of the Jewish National Institutions in Palestine in Acts of Lawlessness and Violence” to the Secretary of State, dated October 16th, a report prepared by The Palestine Police, Criminal Investigation Department:
The memorandum illustrates—indeed, brings into full limelight—the fact that the Mandatory is faced potentially with as grave a danger in Palestine from Jewish violence as it ever faced from Arab violence, a danger infinitely less easy to meet by the methods of repression which have been employed against Arabs.
In the first place, the Jews... have the moral and political support... of considerable sections of public opinion both in the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
...all the influence and political ability of the Zionists would be brought to bear to show that the Jews in Palestine were the victims of aggression, and that a substantial body of opinion abroad would be persuaded of the truth of the contention.
Quite obviously, MacMichael understands that the Mandatory has little power at home over the zealous actions of the Zionists as they manipulate public and political opinion even as they expand their terrorism against the British Mandate government in Palestine.
|
This is an untenable position to be in, responsible for government control and security of those under its authority, i.e. Palestinians as well as Jews, and knowing that the Jews are set on driving the British out of Palestine, and knowing that the home government can offer little help.
The Zionists and their “gangs,” a euphemism for well equipped and well trained military forces, launched a full scale terrorist rebellion against the British by robbing banks, indiscriminate killing of British police, and the assassination of British minister-resident Lord Moyne in 1944.
By the end of World War II things got even worse:
“The Haganah carried out anti-British military operations—liberation of interned immigrants from the Atlit camp; the bombing of the country’s railroad network; sabotage raids on radar installations and bases of the British police mobile force; sabotage of British vessels ... and the destruction of all road and railroad bridges on the borders.”
All of this terrorism was conducted against the Mandate Government while the home government remained silent under the pall of Israeli Zionist propaganda (Meir Pa’il, “From Hashomer to the Israel Defense Forces: Armed Jewish Defense in Palestine,” World War II).
www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/
source/History/resist.htm.
But recording the acts of terrorism does not do justice to the conditions the Mandate government faced.
MacMichael describes the reality of the forces aligned against the police in Palestine.
A second matter which deeply impressed me is the almost Nazi control exercised by the official Jewish organizations over the Jewish community, willy nilly, through the administration of funds from abroad, the issue of labor certificates in connection with the immigration quota, the forced contributions to funds and the power of the Histadruth.
... The community is under the closed oligarchy of the Jewish official organizations which control Zionist policy and circumscribe the lives of the Jewish community in all directions…
Perhaps one of the most frightening observations MacMichael makes comes at the very end of his dispatch:
“As matters now stand it seems to me inevitable that the Zionist Juggernaut which has been created with such intensity of zeal for a Jewish national state will be the cause of very serious trouble in the Near East.”
Prophetic words indeed.
|
The memorandum provided by the Palestine Police Department includes approximately 500 pages of seized documents from the Jewish Agency and related organizations.
These documents reveal the intention of the Zionists that controlled operations in Palestine as they worked to force into existence a Jewish State.
“We regard it as our duty to caution you against any attempt to decide on an anti-Zionist solution....
We regard it as a duty to utter another warning.
Do not postpone the political solution for ten years ... The Jews are a nation.
The land of Israel belongs to the people of Israel.
The Jewish State will be established.
It is better that it should be established with your help and for your benefit, than against you”
(The Jewish Resistance Movement, March 25th, 1946, Rhodes House Archives).
The Mandate Criminal Investigation Department was headed by Richard Catling.
Catling’s memorandum begins with an understanding of the “intricate Jewish political, social and economic structure in Palestine.”
A series of appendices chart these structures marking in passing that:
“… the Palestine Royal Commission Report of 1937 understood ‘The Agency (Jewish) is obviously not a governing body; it can only advise and cooperate in a certain wide field.’
But allied as it is with the Vaad Leumi, and commanding the allegiance of the great majority of the Jews in Palestine, it unquestionably exercises, both in Jerusalem and in London, a considerable influence on the conduct of government.”
Catling’s frustration with the actual control of the Jews over British policy in Palestine glares through this document:
“This powerful and efficient organization amounts in fact, to a government existing side by side with the Mandatory Government…”
Actively undermined legal authority in Palestine
The Zionist controlled Jewish Agency actively undermined the legal authority in Palestine even as it operated to undermine support for that government in Britain, placing UK forces in harms way as they attempted to fulfill their authorized responsibilities in Palestine.
It also demonstrates the determination of the Agency’s leadership in undermining the very nation that gave it a means of establishing a “homeland” in Palestine through the Balfour Declaration.
The wording of that declaration is rarely presented in its full form:
“His Majesty’s government view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.”
The declaration did not intend to establish a Jewish State.
|
Indeed, the wording, “national home,” was used intentionally instead of “state.”
Additionally, the first draft referred to the principle ‘that Palestine should be’ reconstituted ‘as the national home of the Jewish people.’
In the final text, the word ‘that’ was replaced with ‘in’ to avoid committing all of Palestine to the Jews only.
Now perhaps we can answer the question, “How many years has the British government been under the control of the Zionist influence?”
Three score and ten, the biblical age.
Corrupt power that flouts law, wantonly commits crimes against humanity
Perhaps it’s time that Britain is reborn, free from the shackles that bind it to this corrupt power that flouts international law, wantonly commits crimes against humanity, and in brazen arrogance tells the Nations United to shove its demands to comply with the civilized communities of the world.

Coverage of Palestine: Complaint to BBC.
Felicity Arbuthnot (Amended by TheWE.biz) March 12, 2008 Date you read this
BBC Complaints, PO Box 1922, Glasgow G2 3WT Dear BBC, Re: Coverage of Palestine. Greetings. I am aware that in the minefield of Middle East politics, that if the BBC voices Arab views it is accused of being anti-Israel and if Israel's views are presented, the corporation is accused of being anti-Arab. That said, the wall to wall coverage of the tragedy of the deaths of eight people at the Mercav Harev Yeshiva, did seem disproportionate, compared to the coverage of the onslaught on Gaza by Israeli forces, where figures differ, but it seems at least 116 were killed in under a week, reportedly one third children, including a twenty day old baby shot in the head, a twenty one month old, a five month old and children playing football blown to bits. Homes and businesses demolished in an orgy of collective punishment, illegal under international law. Yours sincerely, Place your name here. Ask for a written reply. Mail it off (If in the UK - post it) Doesn't matter what date you read this, 1948, 2008, 200.... The BBC will get the message Let's keep sending this message to the BBC, or whoever comes after, long after the Palestinian people have received their land back Let the BBC never forget Let us never forget Mail your message today |

The Rogue Entity — Twenty Questions Radio/TV interviewers avoid asking about Israel....
Stuart Littlewood March 29, 2008
The abysmal performance of western TV and radio interviewers when dealing with issues surrounding Israel — that 'Rogue Regime’ or 'Zionist Entity’, as many now call it — is not only embarrassing but a blot on the escutcheon of journalism.
Even the most fearsome inquisitors purr like a pussycat.
Their rottweiler instincts evaporate, their investigative skills desert them, objectivity takes a nosedive.
Penetrating questions are seldom asked, lies go unchallenged. Any Israeli spokesperson or cheerleader is guaranteed an easy ride.
Have the nation’s truth-seekers fallen under some wicked Zionist spell?
Are their researchers on strike? Did somebody nobble the programme editors?
While we wait with mounting frustration for our broadcasters to get their act together, here are 20 simple questions the BBC and others seem anxious not to ask......
On Rockets and Sieges
(1) The numbers of home-made Qassam rockets launched at Israel are diligently counted and quoted, but how many sophisticated munitions have Israel’s F-16s, helicopter gun-ships, armed drones, tanks, occupation troops and navy patrol boats fired into the crowded humanity that packs the Gaza Strip? We are never told.
(2) Why should we believe the claim that the siege of Gaza is about rockets "raining down" on Sderot?
Palestinians in the West Bank don't fire rockets yet the Israelis are still in occupation after 40 years, still stealing their land and water, and now dumping their toxic waste there.
(3) Israelis say that if the rockets stop, things will be OK.... Does that mean Gaza will be able to trade freely with the outside world like any other country, and people will be able to come and go freely? Will you and I be able to visit Gaza without Israeli hindrance?
|
On the Collective Punishment of Gazans
(4) Why can't Gaza's 3,000 licensed fishermen put to sea and earn their living without being harassed and fired on?
What is the status of Palestinian territorial waters under international law?
Why are half the hospitals’ dialysis machines out of action and the chronically sick dying in agony for want of proper medication?
(5) Which parts of the Declaration of Human Rights and Geneva Conventions don't Israelis understand?
On the War on Christianity
(6) Israelis use 'administrative' controls to disrupt the life and work of the Christian Church in the Holy Land. No Muslim or Palestinian Christian living outside Jerusalem is allowed to visit the Holy Places in the Old City without special permission.
Christian priests, many of whom are Jordanian, cannot go home to see their families because Israel's new visa policy would prevent them returning to their parishes.
The Catholic priest in Gaza has been trapped there for 9 years knowing that if he visits his folks the Israelis won’t allow him back into the Strip. "We seek a life of freedom—a life different from the life of dogs we are currently forced to live," he says. What should be our response to attempts by Israel to paralyse the Church?
(7) Is it not shameful that our elected politicians, who are mostly Christian themselves, show so little concern?
Is it not doubly shameful how the leaders of western Christendom seem oblivious to the Israeli government’s war against Christian communities?
Beware those pseudo-Christians in high places, who talk the talk but won’t walk the walk.
How many top brass have visited Gaza to show solidarity with the flock?
At the present rate there will soon be no Christians left in the place where Christianity began, and churchmen will wake up one morning to find the Holy Land, from which their whole power and purpose are derived, stolen from under their noses.
|
On illegal Settlements
(8) Israel has expropriated agricultural land and key water resources in the Palestinian West Bank for its own use.
More than 38% of the territory now consists of Israeli settlements, outposts, military bases and closed military areas, Israeli-declared nature reserves or other infrastructure that’s off-limits to Palestinians.
Jews-only highways linking settlements to Israel, and the 580 checkpoints and roadblocks, have fragmented Palestinian communities, blocked access to their lands and severely restricted movement.
How can this be right?
(9) The freezing and dismantling of Israeli settlements are a cornerstone of major peace initiatives.
The most recent, the Quartet's 2003 'roadmap’ endorsed by the UN Security Council, is perfectly clear on the question of illegal settlements.
Israel is under an obligation to....
a) immediately dismantle settlement outposts erected since March 2001, b) freeze all settlement activity (including natural growth of settlements) consistent with the Mitchell Report, c) take "no actions undermining trust, including confiscation and/or demolition of Palestinian homes and property". Why have none of these obligations been met? (10) A year ago the General Assembly reaffirmed that Israeli settlements on Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, "are illegal and an obstacle to peace" and demanded "the immediate and complete cessation of all Israeli settlement activities". Why is Israel still stealing Palestinian land for more illegal construction? By vowing to press ahead with settlement building, Israel’s prime minister Olmert again signals contempt for international law and world opinion… further proof (if ever it were needed) that Israel isn’t interested in peace. |
On the Evil of the Wall
(11) In 2004 the International Court of Justice, sitting at the request of the UN General Assembly, concluded that the route chosen for the Separation Wall "gives expression in loco to the illegal measures taken by Israel with regard to Jerusalem and the settlements".
The ICJ ruled the Wall illegal and declared that it should be dismantled where it encroaches onto Palestinian land.
Why hasn't this been done?
Why is Israel still building it?
If Israelis feel a wall is necessary for security reasons why don't they build one on their own territory?
On House Demolitions and the Right of Return
(12) In 1948 the newly established state of Israel began demolishing the homes of Palestinian refugees to prevent their return.
More than 125,000 houses were systematically destroyed.
Since 1967 18,000 more have been demolished, making another 100,000 Palestinians homeless.
Demolishing homes is a deliberate Israeli strategy to....
|
On Imprisonment
(14) Nearly 10,000 Palestinians, including women and children, have been abducted and languish in Israeli prisons, many without charge or trial.
30+ Palestinian parliamentarians, democratically elected, are also imprisoned.
What civilised country would do this?
On Ethnic Cleansing
(15) The ethnic cleansing of Palestine, begun in the months before and after the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, is still going on in and around Jerusalem and in Gaza.
Israel's Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger argues for an ethnic cleansing programme to transfer Gazans out and dump them in the Sinai desert.
Haaretz reports that he wants Britain, the EU and the US to assist in the construction of a Palestinian state in the middle of nowhere.
"They will have a nice country, and we, the Jews, shall have our country and we shall live in peace."
This leading advocate of ethnic cleansing says Muslims should recognize that "our land is the Holy Land and Jerusalem belongs to us".
Do we in Britain wish to associate with people who hold such views?
On Terror
(16) Since the land occupied by Israel was taken by terrorist means, employing gangs such as the one that blew up the British mandate government in the King David Hotel in 1946 killing 90, by what moral yardstick do British and other western leaders 'do business' with the Israeli Government but not with Palestine’s democratically elected Hamas leadership?
(17) Remembering that most Israeli prime ministers have been responsible for authorising war crimes against the Palestinian people, why are the words 'terrorist', 'militant’ and 'extremist’ applied only to Palestinians?
They fit successive Israeli governments like a glove, and given Israel's lawless and inhuman conduct in Palestine and Lebanon, which has outraged world opinion, why isn't it branded a terrorist state?
|
On our (uncritical) Support
(18) For decades Occupied Palestine has received British and European aid.
If Palestinians had been left in peace, free to trade and develop in the normal way, there would no need for aid.
In effect British and EU taxpayers are subsidising Israel's illegal occupation and the economic strangulation it imposes.
Why should we think this acceptable and continue to pick up the tab?
(19) Why is there such strong support for Israel at the heart of British government?
Why have so many MPs and MEPs allowed themselves to be drawn into the 'Friends of Israel’ web?
How can supposedly bright people with information at their fingertips still be ignorant of Israel's apartheid practices, wholesale land thefts, careless slaughter of children and other atrocities?
Can we take it that they approve of the slow genocide inflicted on defenceless civilians, the middle-of-the-night snatch squads, the house demolitions, the torture and assassinations, and the crushing of Christian and Muslim communities?
Is it not foolish and insulting for them to claim we share Israel’s beliefs and values, and should even share foreign policy?
A well-respected Jewish MP recently called the Israeli government "a gang of amoral thugs".
Isn’t that about right?
On the Two-State solution
(20) Israel and its Zionist stooges are pushing for a two-state solution… eventually, when it suits them and their land grab is complete.
To warped minds this will give the racist regime and its supremacist ideals some kind of seal of approval.
By that time the shrunken and shredded remnants of Palestine will have become a permanently impoverished and ghettoized mini-state, trashed and raped of its resources, traumatised, subservient, easy to control and never capable of prospering.
Israel’s scheming allies, who include western governments (though not western peoples), go along with this grubby plan.
Can someone please explain why we, the citizens of a Christian democracy once mandated with responsibility for Palestine’s future wellbeing, would wish to soil our hands with it?
The ethical choice, surely, is a single state with Jews living alongside their Arab neighbours as equal citizens and sharing the land within a common legal and democratic framework.
That, after all, was the original intention, and the developments of the last 60 years are a gross perversion and betrayal.
Only the Palestinians themselves have had the courage to resist it.
When the Day of Reckoning comes to the Middle East — and engulfs the meddlesome West — much of the blame will rest squarely on the lack of journalistic rigour here and in the US, which has allowed a delinquent political élite to work their evil too long.

BBC's Panorama and John Ware to attack Muslims
MPACUK.org
August 19, 2006
As most of you will be aware, Israel and its Zionist agenda, have been waging a real war against the Palestinian people.
Not satisfied with this, over the last few years we have also witnessed a strengthening media war, where lets face it, Muslims have been resounding losers.
In another twist to this Islamophobic campaign, we have come to hear that, pro Israeli BBC journalist and researcher, John Ware (with picture), is planning yet another vicious sting against the Ummah.
Who is his target and what can you do about it? Read on...
Zionists and Interpal
John Ware, known to Muslims for smearing the MCB and the Islamic Foundation, has now set his eyes on Interpal.
Interpal is a charity that provides humanitarian relief to Palestine.
Previous attacks against Interpal include:
|
Why should you do anything?
Considering the BBC is funded by your license fee, the least ANYONE (Muslim or not) can expect is that their work be impartial and fair.
How is this fairness to be expected from a person who has previously made capital from a documentary with little substance and a lot of scary music!
Furthermore considering they are a British Broadcasting Corporation, why are they abusing their mandate by supporting the causes of Tel-Aviv?
The fact is that if you don't do anything today, tomorrow they will be attacking you for sending money to Malaysia for the Tsunami disaster.
Then they will attack you for sending money to Pakistan for the Earth Quake Appeal.
This is not just about the Palestinians, this is about Muslims, this is about the Ummah:
"The Muslims (the Ummah) are like the limbs of a man, where if the eye hurts the whole body feels pain and if the head hurts, the whole body feels pain and suffering."
Will it work?
The BBC and Panorama are under a lot of pressure these days, as people have caught on to their support for Israel.
Numerous studies have shown that they are biased towards Israel and other studies are being conducted.
Your email will be more pressure.
The truth is that in today’s world of records and red tape, every email, letter or phone call, is one more complaint against the BBC's pro Israeli stance.
Furthermore, after our conversation with Asad Ahmed at the last MPACUK open day, he tells us that once the BBC recieve more than 50 complaints on any one issue, an investigation has to be launched.

What you can do?
All you have to do is send a quick email to the BBC.

No more than a paragraph, and to make it even easier there are bullet points below summarising the points against this documentary.

July 21, 2006 A perilous excursion into the distant past, starting seven whole weeks ago
Hezbollah, Hamas and Israel: Everything You Need To Know
By Alexander Cockburn www.counterpunch.org
I srael regrets...
But no! Israel doesn’t regret in the least.
Most of the time it doesn’t even bother to pretend to regret.
It says, “We reserve the right to slaughter Palestinians whenever we want. We reserve the right to assassinate their leaders, crush their homes, steal their water, tear out their olive groves, and when they try to resist we call them terrorists intent on wrecking the ‘peace process’”.
Now Israel says it wants to wipe out Hezbollah.
It wishes no harm to the people of Lebanon, just so long as they’re not supporters of Hezbollah, or standing anywhere in the neighborhood of a person or a house or a car or a truck or a road or a bus or a field, or a power station or a port that might, in the mind of an Israeli commander or pilot, have something to do with Hezbollah.
In any of those eventualities all bets are off.
You or your wife or your mother or your baby get fried.
Israel regrets...
But no! As noted above, it doesn’t regret in the least.
Neither does George Bush, nor Condoleezza Rice nor John Bolton who is the moral savage who brings shame on his country each day that he sits as America’s ambassador at the UN and who has just told the world that a dead Israel civilian is worth a whole more in terms of moral outrage than a Lebanese one.
None of them regrets.
They say Hezbollah is a cancer in the body of Lebanon.
Sometimes, to kill the cancer, you end up killing the body.
Or bodies.
Bodies of babies.
Lots of them.
