Israel's hold on the United Kingdom.

My honest belief, as someone who served in British a Intelligence for  over twenty years, is that at some stage during the creation of the State of Israel there was at least a four party secret agreement made guaranteeing the preservation of the Israeli state. The agreement included, certainly the supply of arms and intelligence to them, and possibly military intervention to support them, if it looked as if they were about to be over run. The four parties would most definitely have included the State of Israel, the USA, France and the United Kingdom. Whilst this was completely understandable in the context of the destruction of the Jews by Hitler during the war, as Isreal is now regarded, even by American conservative commentators, as a fascist state, which is suppressing internal dissent then now is the time to get real and condemn Israel for its actions and begin sanctions against them.
 One early indication of  this agreement probably occurred in 1956 when France and the UK , under the cover of protecting the Suez Canal from nationalisation under Nasser, launched a military operation against Egypt as a cover for an Israeli invasion. Although Britain and France withdrew because of American and Russian opposition,and enormous domestic pressure, the Israelis  continued the war and achieved their objectives. Excluding the Initial Israeli overthrow of Palestine this was to be the first Arab Israeli war.  The American objection to the French and British action was a reaction to what they considered to be a post colonial action and does not nullify the assurances that they have given, that I was suggesting in my first paragraph,and their massive political, economic and military support for the State of Israel.
  I have come to this conclusion as the only possible explanation for the unconditional support that, "The West" has given to the Israelis since the formation of that state and the deafening sound of silence to the war crimes committed by Israel recently in Gaza whilst these same hypocrites have condemned Russian action in The Ukraine and other actions sadly currently occurring in the middle-east. This western support for Israel  and the gun runners and torturers of Saudi Arabia is all part of a wider policy of military and political action in Libya, Iraq  and elsewhere  in the Middle East which has resulted in death and injury to hundred of thousands of Arabs and may yet result in unforeseen consequences which could affect us all.
 For non-regular readers of this blog see, in other posts, my personal experience of the supply of British intelligence to the Israelis and our government's continuing policy towards the, "Dirty Arab"  - with the exception of Saudi Arabia which runs a cruel and sadistic closed and non-democratic state and has funded Isis and the overthrow of the democratically elected Egyptian government.
