The UK goes full Neville Chamberlain and appeases terrorists with its West Bank boycott

When Neville Chamberlain sold out Czechoslovakia to Hitler in 1938, he said he wouldn’t risk Britain’s security for a “faraway country” and people “of whom we know nothing.”Britain’s Labour Party has gone one worse by scapegoating a further-away country of which it knows nothing at all.By placing sanctions on trade with Israeli settlements, Labour damages Britain’s security — and American interests.Never go full Neville.Ed Miliband, Labour’s foreign secretary, claims that “settler terrorists” are committing “ethnic cleansing” in Judea and Samaria (which Britain, the colonial power, dubbed the West Bank after being chased out in 1948).The violence in “the Territories” is really a low-grade, tit-for-tat turf war between Jews and Arabs.The winner controls the historic heartland of the Jewish people, and access to Jerusalem and the ridgeline that overlooks Tel Aviv.

Labour will struggle to keep it.Around 20% of the voters in Starmer’s inner London ward are Muslim.About 2% are Jewish.

Labour are economic illiterates, but even Burnham and Miliband ca...
