  • Westminster Week: History lessons

    Tuesday

    The House is erupting in fake outrage yet again, crippling international diplomacy by casting Israel as the villain once again. Not much sympathy and painfully crass language has defined the Labour benches for a long time, perceivably with no single leading figure behind the matter. Where it comes from nobody knows.

    Richard Tice MP (Boston and Skegness/Reform UK) says proposed sanctions on Israel are a “grave mistake” and “embolden the scourge of antisemitism” in the UK. After all, there’s distant and recent history to prove the point.

    Wednesday

    The Prime Minister appears today after falling on his own sword by not backing his Foreign Secretary to tone down his response to Israel in the West Bank yesterday. It looks history is repeating quickly. Former PM Starmer is now accused of getting booted for Gaza video.

    Thursday

    The Secretary of State for Defence critiques Russia’s aggressive acts in the English Channel as “performative displays”, but challenges the House to back British capability, even as threats evolve, or change.

  • Exclusive: MI6 dismisses West Bank concerns

    MI6 (The Secret Service) has said that the West Bank is “of no concern” to the UK, its “violence doesn’t outstrip human tolerance”, and that it sees the situation as “tense, but tight” in regards to culpability looked for on either side.

    The intervention by the UK’s only acknowledged overseas spying agency comes as the Foreign Secretary postulates sanctions against Israel for alleged ‘settler’ violence in the contested region.

    In spite of reports that protester violence in the UK and insider infiltration has suspended FCDO operations on matters, the department nonetheless pressed ahead with a statement today.

    MI6 is said to be concerned by political pronouncements that do little to balance public perceptions and in fact may inflame localised tensions and lead to effects unseen by nationwide observers.

  • Israel fights for its survival

    Now that Iran has regathered itself the notoriously secretive military elite in the country will be planning an effective response. This will include Israel and almost certainly it will also involve backing a destructive terror-related attack on American soil in the near future.

    The headless maniacs in control of much of Iran’s forces are bent on Jewish destruction and spare no time in dreaming of its demise.

    Israel, by all accounts, is ready for any land or air push by the Persian nation. It has a healthy stock of munitions and is capable of taking out targets on Iranian soil.

    The ramifications of such an escalation of a use of ballistic resources in the region are known far and wide. The steps that are taken are what count because everyone watches each other.

    The lack of UK involvement guarantees our security because we are relatively small in comparison to larger states and the abilities pooled into mutual defence agreements in the Middle East. Our interests are also more secure because the constant work of their safety doesn’t need to change. No meaningful disaster will happen overnight for us.

    Iran is centred on its own survival but also its progressive development into an economic power of learning and influence. But Israel has made it aware of threats in the air that cannot be ignored. A realignment of priorities and settling of more firmer principles of engagement won’t come without a cost for others.

    America being in the frame includes an entire state of affairs that’s an equation increasing in complexity all the time. Its efforts have come as a shock for many observers and few of its policy goals are now discernible in its public statements. Their plan is a key to understanding what the outcome is of this period.

  • US seeks to destroy Iran statehood abroad

    The US is seeking to undermine the very basis of the Iran regime by continuing to say what it sees to be its inherent flaws.

    The US itself has never taken a position that stipulates other cultures or races are wrong. It doesn’t have a racist foreign policy.

    It does have a guarded account of events, and seeks to understand things as they go. This makes American media accessible, relevant, and transparent as far as it goes in understanding its motives.

    Pete Hegseth (US Defence Secretary) speaking about President’s Trump position on Iran as a potential adversary.

    However, the hard facts point to a disagreement with the people of Iran insofar as they agree with the ruling leaders and their ultimate conclusions.

    These cannot be anti-American in nature or contain life-threatening wording in substance.

    What America feels is its responsibility in the region is a question that looms large over any to and fro of arguing. It’s not clear to everyone what threat America feels, and what provocation Iranians see so often.

    The case may be that Iran has a doctrine that regards any Western activity as interference in a region it wants to dominate, run, and control from its own power base.
