Gaza flotilla: yes, Downing Street HAS dropped Israel

A few months ago, I pointed out that Gordon Brown seemed to have ended a convention that whatever hostile noises towards Israel came out of the Foreign Office, Downing Street was different. British prime ministers tended to sympathise with the Israelis, whether out of genuine regard or in the interest of the special relationship with Washington.

Well, Washington has played its traditional role since the seizure of the Gaza flotilla on Monday, holding off from direct criticism and watering down the inevitable UN Security Council resolution. Not so our new prime minister David Cameron, who went further than Mr Brown did last year with a quite serious diplomatic assault at PMQs.

Completely unacceptable, he called the attack on the flotilla. William Hague joined in later, saying he “deplored” the loss of life, for which he clearly held Israel responsible, and adding that: “There is real, understandable and justified anger at the events which have unfolded.”

Someone will probably put me right, but has the British government ever presented such a united face against Israel before? It is a sign of how far Israel has sunk in public opinion; it is also a sign of the new Conservative Party too, I think. I wonder what Lord Tebbit has to say.

Genesis 12

1. Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

2. And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

3. And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Cameron is a disgrace to the word Conservative.

The Jews are the canaries in the mines. It is becoming more and more acceptable to be openly hostile towards them.
