Tensions In The Middle East

A month ago I blogged on the deterioration of relations between the UK and Israel, particularly the relationship between the left wing in the UK and the socialist founded Israel.

Well, matters have moved on with diplomatic expulsions and the Israeli's falling out with the US as well ..... so far the Israelis are hanging tough.

With Israeli troops in Gaza again, and pledging to carry on building in the City of Jerusalem this is a story that could run for a while.

Old Friends Make Bad Enemies

This Blog has discussed the general collapse of good will between the Socialists of the UK (aka New Labour Party), and the generally (these days) 'right wing' governments of Israel. In particular we discussed the Anti-Semite accusations by Israel towards the UKs attitudes toward a Jewish state.

It appears that the collapse has reached a new low with accusations that MOSSAD used faked British Passports to kill a Hamas operative buying arms in Dubai. One wonders, if Israel had considered the UK a friend instead of as an increasingly 'islamacised' country, whether they would have used another countries passports?

Interestingly, the US is a much firmer friend of Israel and one wonders if the lefts stance in support of the Islamic dictatorships of the Arab world, won't eventually split the UK from its US alliance?
