Since its establishment in 1948, Israel has received about 310 billion dollars in US foreign aid and military support up to 2023. Since the Hamas attack in October 2023, the US has financed Israel’s war to the extent of at least 12.5 billion dollars.

Most of this aid carries the proviso that Israel must use it to buy US military equipment and services. Thus Israel is the bridge by which Washington massively subsidises its own arms industry.

Israel is permitted to spend some of the aid on purchases from its own defence firms.

As I write this, news has come in that Israel has attacked Iranian military targets, ignoring its paymaster’s wish to see no further escalation by a retaliatory attack on Iran.

Keir Starmer has whined his usual mantra that Israel has the right of self-defence.

This puerile tit-for-tat kindergarten politics, pursued by Hamas, Hezbollah, Israel and Iran has brought the world to the brink of nuclear war.

The USA, which underwrites all of Israel’s wars is too gutless to stop the flow of money and armaments, in order to stop the killing. And our government is too gutless to do anything that might upset Washington and the massive Zionist lobby in London.

The world can see that “defence” is a euphemism for genocide. The Israeli government has made no secret of its intention to clear Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem of all Palestinians, so that it can settle these territories with Jews.

There are clear parallels with the Second World war. Countries conquered and occupied by the Nazi Wehrmacht were cleared of Jews, Slavs and other minorities, in order create lebensraum (living space) for a spreading population of  the German Volk. Hitler’s plan was thus to create the “Greater German Reich”.

Netanyahu, at the 2024 UN General Assembly, held up a map and boasted of his creation of “Greater Israel”, stealing all the land the Palestinians now nominally possess, as well as part of Lebanon and part of Syria.

Many organisations, including the British Labour Party, have adopted a definition of anti-Semitism which so defines any drawing of parallels between Nazism and policies of the Israeli government.

But such parallels are plain to see. Having pointed that out in letters and blogs, I have been expelled from the Labour Party for alleged anti-Semitism.

It is an unequalled irony that descendants of the Holocaust  generation of Jews now in control of the Israeli government are committing  war crimes and crimes against humanity similar to those of the Nazis.
