  • UK's Royal College of Nursing joins BDS against Teva.
  • UK Green Party declares Zionism is racism.
  • Article links UK actions to Islamist logic and anti-Western sentiment.
  • US reportedly losing trust in Britain as an ally.
  • Author warns of escalating hatred impacting both Israel and the West.

The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) in the UK, representing hundreds of thousands of nurses, has decided to join the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement and sever ties with the pharmaceutical company Teva. While this move is unlikely to immediately impact drug supplies to Britain, the article argues it reflects an "Islamist logic" prioritizing harm to Jews, even if minor, over self-interest, drawing a parallel to the October 7th attacks.

Adding to this, the UK's Green Party has approved a resolution labeling Zionism as racism. The party also expressed opposition to a two-state solution, instead endorsing a one-state solution. The article questions the Green Party's deep-seated animosity towards Israel's existence, contrasting it with the historical context of the Balfour Declaration and the principle of self-determination that underpinned Zionism.

The author criticizes these decisions as a form of "Islamist imperialism" and suggests that such sentiments are leading Britain astray, citing a poll showing more favorability towards China than the US. The article also references former UK minister Clare Short's 2007 statement blaming Israel for global warming, indicating a long-standing trend of anti-Israel sentiment in British discourse.

Furthermore, the article suggests that the US may be losing trust in Britain as an ally, pointing to the recent removal of bombers from Fairford Air Base following the apprehension of suspicious individuals near the base. The author posits that in a country where hatred is legitimized by organizations, political parties, and even the Foreign Secretary, security services cannot be fully trusted. The piece concludes by warning that this escalating hatred, fueled by Qatari influence, is not just anti-Israel but anti-Western and anti-humanity, and that what begins with Jews often does not end with them.
