Join the Zionist Express to hell and back.
Israel’s horrendous genocide continues unabated while our new foreign secretary Lord Cameron, brought back from the dead as it were (he’s no longer an elected Member of Parliament) and hurriedly created a peer of the realm to give some semblance of legitimacy, struts the international stage and criss-crosses the world’s trouble-spots. So, I thought I’d offer a reminder that this guy has form. And I mean bad form. Back in December 2012 I wrote a piece titled Why they call him ‘Agent’ Cameron. It went like this.
In a speech to Conservative Friends of Israel at a recent lunch [in 2012] David Cameron said – and not for the first time – things that are deeply disturbing to people who expect him to put British interests first. He compromised himself and our country with ridiculous pledges of support for a foreign military power whose behaviour is beyond the Pale and an affront to human decency. Here are some of his remarks…
“I am a passionate friend of Israel – and that’s the way it’s going to stay.”
In that case he shouldn’t be in British politics. And he falls foul of the Seven Principle of Public Life, especially the principle of ‘Integrity’ which says in words a child could understand: “Holders of public office should not place themselves under any financial or other obligation to outside individuals or organisations that might seek to influence them in the performance of their official duties.”
“We promised to stand up for Israel and in Government that’s exactly what we’ve done. We said it was ridiculous that Israeli officials felt unable to visit Britain because of the malicious and unfounded use of arrest warrants so we changed the law to end it.”
This is about individuals taking out private arrest warrants for Israeli war criminals arriving in the UK because the Government drags it feet. Tzipi Livni had been responsible for launching the pre-meditated blitzkrieg four years previously which slaughtered 1,400 defenceless Gazans (including 320 children and 109 women), horribly maimed thousands more and caused immense devastation to essential infrastructure and services. She showed no remorse. Livni’s office issued a statement saying she was proud of Operation Cast Lead, and speaking later at a conference at Tel Aviv’s Institute for Security Studies, she said: “I would today take the same decisions.” She and other high-ranking Israeli criminals decided not to disembark and flew back home when they were tipped off that arrest warrants had been issued.
“When I was in Opposition I spoke out when — because of the law on universal jurisdiction — senior Israelis could not safely come to my country, without fear of ideologically motivated court cases and legal stunts,” said Cameron. “When I became Prime Minister I legislated to change it. My country is open to you. And you are welcome to visit anytime.” He dismisses as “legal stunts” the UK’s solemn obligation under the Geneva Conventions to bring to book those suspected of war crimes. So much for his duties under international law to “fight impunity for grave international crimes wherever they occur”.
“We said we’d resist calls for boycotts on Israel and yes – we are going to keep on working with Israel, doing business with Israel, trading with Israel.”
Even though Israel is in continual breach of EU-Israel Agreement rules and forcibly prevents its neighbours, the Palestinians, from doing business and trade with the outside world…
