#MarkCurtis | How frightening would Nigel Farage’s foreign policy be?

"Farage has, of course, been one of Trump’s leading supporters in the UK and has regularly campaigned and fundraised for him. 'For 10 years I have stood up and defended President Trump,' Farage told parliament proudly, earlier this year."

"After two years of Israeli slaughter in Palestine, the party recently set up a Reform Friends of Israel, mirroring similar Labour and Conservative groups."

"... the recent extraordinary case of Reform politician Nathan Gill, who was close to Farage, being imprisoned for taking bribes from Russia, has revived claims that Farage and his entourage are close to Putin and Russia."

"In this light, it’s no surprise that Reform welcomes the AUKUS military agreement between the US, Britain and Australia – widely seen as directed at China – which to Farage signals 'the Anglosphere realigning to protect liberty and freedom in the world'."

#DeclassifiedUK | Gaza reveals how Britain is run, and why we must change it

"This should be a pivotal moment in British history. Our political system has utterly failed to confront a genocide.

Rather, that system has allowed the British establishment to be complicit in one of the worst horrors of our time — Israel’s two-year offensive against Palestinians, complete with ethnic cleansing, systematic attacks on schools and hospitals, and crimes against humanity."

"There is little morality in British political and economic decision-making. But this doesn’t mean the system is 'broken'; it’s working as it’s intended to."

#DeclassifiedUK | UK aware of Israel’s ‘terror’ for over 20 years

'The files, released last year, contain an extraordinary report by an unnamed senior British army officer, who wrote that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were a “second rate, ill disciplined, swaggering and bullying force”.

“They routinely use excessive force such as firing at the ‘legs’ of stone throwers or at ‘car tyres’ with the inevitable stream of ambulances ferrying youths to hospital with fatal bullet wounds to the head and body”, he wrote.

He believed the IDF “look down on the Arabs and despise them… It needs to be said that the average Israeli does not value an Arab life as equal to a Jewish one.”'

#DeclassifiedUK | How government used media to claim Iran ‘link’ to Palestine Action

' #WeBelieveInIsrael had launched a campaign to ban Palestine Action earlier in June and the Guardian noted that “language from a report it published was similar to that used by Cooper in her statement” announcing the group’s proscription.'

#DeclassifiedUK | The BBC isn’t telling the truth about Israel’s nuclear arms

"Both Israel and the US claimed their attacks, which are widely seen as illegal, were to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapons capability.

But the irony of two nuclear armed-states attacking a non-nuclear state to prevent it acquiring such weapons appears to have been lost on the BBC."

#DeclassifiedUK | The Empire never died

"Just as acute is the culture of intervention that still pervades the corridors of Whitehall – a mentality in officialdom of high-minded superiority that sees it as perfectly normal for Britain to send warships or aircraft to bomb foreign countries – like Yemen last month – supported by jingoistic mass media."

#DeclassifiedUK | UK leaders have betrayed those who fought in WW2

"Once the Nazis were defeated, the postwar world established a key principle. At the Nuremberg trials in 1945/46, the German leaders who were executed were convicted primarily of waging aggressive war. As the International Military Tribunal noted, aggression “is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime.”

Since 1945, British leaders have dispensed with the notion that invasions constitute such a crime.

The UK has itself deployed its military forces for combat over 80 times in 47 countries since the end of WW2. These episodes include outright invasions – notably Egypt (1956), Afghanistan (2001) and Iraq (2003) – and interventions to remove governments that were tantamount to invasions – such as British Guiana and Iran (both in 1953), Indonesia (1957), Libya and Syria (2011)."
