- Elements of the
British establishment in Whitehall think their own soldiers are
"bad," and terrorists are "freedom fighters,"
according to General Lord Richards, former Chief of the Defence
Staff and the UK's most senior military officer.
- Over several
years these ministers, permanent secretaries, generals, admirals and
air marshals have been swept aside in pursuit of a corrosive drive
to discredit our troops. It is the first time in history that any
government has turned on its own armed forces in such a way.
- The
overwhelming majority are motivated by a combination of greed and
anti-British vindictiveness by the Iraqi and Afghan accusers and by
their British lawyers, using taxpayers' money.
- This can only
further undermine our national will to engage in future conflict in
defence of our people or to support our allies, including the US,
thus weakening the Western world. That of course is the main
objective of the politically driven lawyers and others involved in
hounding our troops.
- We can be sure
that their motive for favouring enemy "freedom fighters"
over our own forces is a desire to appease radical Muslims both at
home and abroad, which infects so much of Europe's political elite
and mainstream media.
- It is vital for
our country and the world that the Prime Minister ends this cowardly
and dangerous cult of appeasement, stands up for our Western
Judeo-Christian values above all others, and defends our soldiers
with as much courage as they show in defending us. To achieve this,
it is vital that the conspirators General Richards has named are
identified and purged from power and influence.

Last week General Lord Richards, former Chief of the Defence Staff
and the UK's most senior military officer, made an extraordinary
allegation. Speaking on the BBC, he said that elements of the British
establishment in Whitehall think their own soldiers are "bad,"
and terrorists are "freedom fighters."
Lord Richards's assertions have far-reaching significance both
within the UK and more widely, affecting the US, the prosecution by the
West of the war on terror, and British relations with the State of
Israel. Yet they have gone largely unnoticed.
Lord Richards was talking about the ongoing legal campaign against
British troops who have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan -- the first time
in history that any government has turned on its own armed forces in such
a way.

- Despite the
unceasing waves of murdering innocent Israeli civilians, Western
politicians speak as if Israel were not under attack. The
politicians are not interested in hearing what Palestinian leaders
say when they call for the ethnic cleansing of Jews.
- These Western
leaders can well imagine what those consequences would be if the
Arabs had their way: genocide. One can only assume they are pleased
with that.
- In private,
some people say that the burial of Shimon Peres was also the burial
of the Oslo Accords and of a never-ending "peace process"
that brought only war.
- Understanding
that the economic relations between Israel and Europe could
deteriorate, Netanyahu set about negotiating free trade agreements
with China, India, South Korea and Japan, and he signed economic and
military cooperation agreements with seven African countries also
threatened by Islamic terrorism.
- Against all
odds, Israel is now in a much stronger position than it was even a
few years ago.
At the funeral of Shimon Peres in Jerusalem, standing
before representatives from 75 countries, Barack Obama delivered a speech
that could have resembled a mark of heartwarming friendship, until he
evoked the "the unfinished business of peace talks," followed
by a harsh and negative portrayal of Israel.
The death of former Israeli President Shimon Peres led to a wave of
almost unanimous tributes. Representatives from 75 countries came to
Jerusalem to attend the funeral. Palestinian Authority (PA) President
Mahmoud Abbas even left Ramallah for a few hours to show up.
Such a consensus could seem to be a sign of support for Israel, but
it was something else entirely.
Those who honored the memory of Shimon Peres put aside the years he
dedicated to creating Israel's defense industry and to negotiating key
arms deals with France, Germany and the United States. Those who honored
the memory of Peres spoke only of the man who signed the Oslo Accords and
who embodied the "peace process." They then used the occasion
to accuse Israel.
