“DAVID LAMMY’S BIG IDEA: NOTHING WILL CHANGE UNDER LABOUR: The man who wants to be foreign secretary is reassuring elite audiences that UK foreign policy will not seriously change under a Keir Starmer government - a strategy confirmed in Labour’s election manifesto.”

by Mark Curtis in Declassified UK @Declassified_UK

“Why are Lammy and Labour so supportive of Israel, despite the extent of its atrocities and British public opposition to the attacks on Gaza?

One reason is that Lammy is Washington’s man in Labour and cannot be seen to upset policy-makers in the US who consistently facilitate Israel’s onslaught on Palestinians.

Lammy has constantly signalled that Labour foreign policy under his leadership will deviate little from Washington’s priorities, and he has been a regular visitor to a string of elite, establishment fora in the US.

The other reason is that Lammy is, like 20 percent of his fellow Labour MPs, a recipient of funds from the Israel lobby. Since becoming an MP in 2000, he has accepted donations from the Israel lobby on numerous occasions, the value amounting to £32,550, Declassified has found.”

#Israel / Neo-Zionism’s Dirty Laundry

Regarding the brief comment about demographic engineering in #Israel, this issue is not a secret, though it is rarely discussed so blatantly in Israeli media, albeit Channel 14. One thing is certain: when you become comfortable demonizing Palestinians, it won't take long before you start demonizing other sectors in your society as well.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Original title of this report was: “Everything is kosher for the sake of Netanyahu: The disgusting statement of Channel 14 host against former Soviet Union immigrants”

Content:

Channel 14 host Boaz Golan criticized former minister Avigdor Lieberman: "He is constantly working to bring more and more gentiles here...another Ukrainian. They brought gentiles here and it's screwing up our demographics."

Harsh statements made last week on Channel 14 against immigrants from the former Soviet Union are causing an uproar in the sector, considered the largest in Israel. The comments were made by channel 14 host Boaz Golan, on the "Open Studio" program, referring to criticism of former minister Avigdor Lieberman, one of Prime Minister Netanyahu's fiercest critics.

Golan claimed that Lieberman acted to bring non-Jewish immigrants to Israel because he needed votes.

Among other things, Golan said, "He is constantly working to bring more and more gentiles here...another Ukrainian..." Later Golan said, "They brought gentiles here and it's screwing up our demographics...we need to act so that gentiles don't enter here and this remains a strong Jewish state."​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
