UK Special Envoy to Yemen Alan Duncan Claims US Controlled by Jewish Bankers

Alan Duncan, the UK’s Special Envoy to Yemen and Oman, a former oil industry man and current MP, offered a calculated insult to the United States and a staple of Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda as part of his unfortunate campaign against the Jewish State.
After denouncing Israeli “Apartheid” despite having built his career working with an oil company that actually propped up Apartheid in South Africa, Duncan demanded that all candidates be questioned as to whether or not they oppose Jews living in Jerusalem.
Then he contended that the vote recognizing “Palestine”, really two quarreling terrorist micro-states that refuse to hold an election, was necessary because the Jews run America.
In a BBC Radio Four ‘World at One’ interview on the subject of the previous day’s vote by backbench MPs to overwhelmingly recognise Palestinian statehood, Alan Duncan said the vote was needed in part because:
“…we all know that the United States is in hock to a very powerful financial lobby which dominates its politics…”
This claim went unchallenged by the BBC interviewer, Martha Kearney.
Aside from being the sort of classic anti-Semitism that you would have expected to hear in a Hitler speech, not from a UK MP and government envoy to two Muslim countries, it’s also a calculated insult to the United States.
Alan Duncan is not just expressing anti-Semitism, but his contempt for the United States as an independent self-governing democracy. His Jewish conspiracy theories are not only offensive for being racist, but for smearing the ally who has stood by the UK.
Duncan’s anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism are not just statements by an MP, but “The government’s Special Envoy to Yemen and The government’s Special Envoy to Oman”. His hatred for Jews and the US may be routine in Yemen, but he does not represent Yemen.
The UK government is obligated to answer for his remarks and to distinguish them from its official point of view.

Yawn.
Haven’t we seen this movie before?
If I remember correctly, it doesn’t turn out well for the Jew-haters.
Maybe it has something to do with God’s promise to bless those that bless Jacob (Israel!) and curse those that curse him.
An aristocratic British diplomat railing against Jewish bankers? It sounds like something out of the 1930s. 20 or 30 years from now, the roughly 50 year period after World War II when Europe was not antisemitic will be viewed simply as an interlude between the continent’s traditional Jew hatred and persecution.
This highlights one difference between Americans who describe themselves as “Conservatives” and at least some if not a majority of the British political party of the same name. Not that the Labour Party is any better, and in fact they’re worse anti-Semites. UKIP I’m not sure about, although they’re certainly on the correct side vis a vis Brussels and the Muslim occupation of certain swathes of Britain.
I wish.
Maybe if that were the case, we could do something to preventt the 90,000 sq ft mosques being built on every corner.
Thanks for the post - I love to read about how powerful I am.
Brits have been pissed off and vengeful ever since The Jews booted them out of Israel. Snobby Upper class Antisemitism is fashionable and common in England.
Thanks to the UK people who support Israel!
The problem with ambassadors and “special envoys” is that although they represent our viewpoints to the countries they have been sent to, there is also a tendency for them to represent the opinions of the host nation back to us, especially if they have been on station for a long time.
