Israel stooges’ shameless exhibitionism in British parliament
By Stuart Littlewood
It has no nukes, no navy, no air-force, no tanks, no phosphor bombs, no submarines, no guided missiles, no exits, nowhere to run.
Its people are terrorised, blockaded and exhausted, and their homes are rubble.
Unemployment is the highest in the world and 73 per cent of its inhabitants suffer food insecurity.
But, suddenly, Gaza is “a recurring threat to peace”!
This blame-it-on-Gaza bombshell came in the middle of a House of Lords debate on 7 July on the political situation in the Gaza Strip.
Hasbara stooges present their propaganda “facts”
Lord Davies of Stamford, formerly the MP Quentin Davies (pictured above), stood up:
My Lords, there are five salient facts that ought to come out of any debate about Gaza… One is that Gaza is clearly a most unpleasant place to live: it is extremely poor and very violent. It is poor partially because of the blockades that have been imposed by both its neighbours, Egypt and Israel, for reasons that may be very understandable.
The second salient fact that has come out and which is certainly recognised all over the world is that Gaza in its present state is a recurring threat to peace in the region. Rockets are continually fired at Israel. After some years, the Israelis inevitably lose their patience… and intervene militarily. There is nasty military action, obviously with a lot of fatalities.
Obviously. And the casualties (including over 578 children killed and 1,000 permanently disabled) are all on one side. It would be helpful to say why rockets are fired at Israel. But do carry on with your fascinating analysis, noble Lord.
Those two facts are pretty well known. There are three facts about Gaza that are not so well known and which ought to be better known. One is that it is a very nasty, savage tyranny… Hamas imposes its power by regular use of torture and execution of political opponents: so-called collaborators with the Israelis and so forth.
