MEDIA SILENCE: The UK-Israel Deal You Know Absolutely Nothing About
If you've been wondering why the UK acts as it does towards Israel, wonder no more & ask why you didn't know about this already.
Right, so despite everything the Israeli regime have done, it seems there’s no low in this ongoing genocide that will apparently prompt the UK government to do the right thing and take some proactive approaches to dealing with the scale of destruction and loss of life happening in Gaza, but now it seems there might actually be an explanation for that, because frankly I don’t know which is the more unbelievable issue here, what this Tory government actually did months before the events of October 7th that are now seemingly tying their hands, or the fact that the mainstream media have utterly ignored it, leaving it to be unveiled by independent media outlet Declassified UK and their excellent journalism because thank God there are some people in this country still capable of actual journalism. We should have known about this over a year ago and they sure as hell didn’t do this in our name or our interests if they’ve kept it so damn quiet.
Right, so what have the Tories done Damo, what is it that explains their consistent acquiescence to Netanyahu’s regime? Well it’s not news to say that Israel is considered an ally by the UK, we did have a hand in creating the now genocidal pariah state, but the extent of that alliance goes further than just warm words. The memorandum of understanding that was signed between the UK and Israel back in 2021, itself an appalling act. Israel was behaving then no better towards the Palestinian people and their lands that it occupies then as it does now, but last March, the Tories beefed that memorandum of understanding up to an Accord.
Everything we’ve witnessed since has been in line with that new Bilateral Agreement, that policy, named the 2030 roadmap for UK-Israel bilateral relations, published on the government website on the 23rd March last year. It was signed by the Foreign Office and the Foreign Ministry of Israel the same day and apparently nobody has ever noticed it. It is properly vomit inducing in light of everything we’ve witnessed over the last 6 months, but now we know it is this roadmap being put into practice that we’ve actually seen reflected in the actions of our government.
Here’s an excerpt of the intro: ‘The bilateral relationship has never been stronger. Our 2 countries complement each other’s strengths. As freedom-loving, innovative and thriving democracies, Israel and the UK are proud of our deep and historic partnership. We are firm friends and natural allies.
In November 2021, the British government and the Israeli government, signed a Memorandum of Understanding elevating the UK-Israel bilateral relationship to a strategic partnership. This represented a signal of intent for both countries to cohere, deepen and expand cooperation across our mutual priorities for our mutual benefit. This roadmap outlines how this strategic partnership will continue to serve our collective interests. This roadmap, which defines our bilateral cooperation until 2030, will serve as a ‘living’ document.
