"The irony is poetic."
KernowDamo: Labour Friends Of Israel have been nothing but slavishly loyal to Israel, but all of a sudden they find themselves not loyal enough!
Right, so how far gone is the Israel Lobby now if a group of politicians like Labour Friends of Israel are now so insufficiently loyal to the Israeli regime that some extremists are now demanding the group be banned from visiting Israel? British politicians, Britain the nation that through it’s racist and colonialist mindset at the time, literally led the creation of Israel itself, now face being banned because they are no longer seen as sufficiently loyal, in the face of genocide and not least the banning of two Labour MPs from entering the country?
Well, this is what has tipped the scales it seems. For all of their overarching support and subservience LFI MPs sickeningly show, a single tweet in support of two Labour MPs turned around and sent home from Ben Gurion airport is all it took to bring even more fanatical and extreme voices to the fore demanding Israel deal with LFI and ban them all from ever visiting Israel. As you can imagine, people have had a field day with this hilarious and deserved dose of karma inflicted upon Israel lobbied MPs, but will it be enough for them to do what is right and just and abolish LFI and take a stand or will the bow and scrape even lower instead?
Right, so Labour Friends of Israel, or LFI have had a serving of karma heaped upon them, great big ladlefuls of the stuff, because they dared put a baby toe out of line to the genocidal Zionist state of Israel and condemnation from the even more extreme end of Zionist support was dropped on them for it, something that they absolutely deserve and something that has triggered much mirth amongst people who had picked up on the exchange in question already.
The irony really is almost poetic: after years of uncritically defending Israel’s most brutal policies and actions going back well before the events of October 7th where Israel were still a brutal occupying regime over the Palestinian territories, now, suddenly, off the back of a single tweet, LFI has found itself on the receiving end of Zionist fury for daring to mildly protest Israel’s decision to bar two of its own MPs, Abtisam Mohamed and Yuan Yang, from entering the country. So what did LFI say that was so awful then Damo? Well, they wrote on their official Twitter account that: ‘It’s wrong and counterproductive for Israel to refuse entry to British Members of Parliament. Over the years we've taken hundreds of MPs to Israel and Palestine; it's vital parliamentarians are able to visit and understand the situation on the ground. This is a principle we'd hope all political parties would support. We have raised our concerns with the Israeli authorities.’
It’s barely critical, it’s a bit of a hand wringing, well this is unfortunate kind of positioning, but even this was too much for some, as a reply came swiftly:
‘We have raised our concerns about you to Israeli authorities. Have you spoken in your concerns to people like May Golan, Amichai Chikli and Almog Cohen, young superstar leaders of the Israeli government who represent the will of the people?’
