Guardian foreign affairs pundit Simon Tisdall again demonstrates his lack of journalistic credentials. Mr. Tisdall, it seems, takes great joy in simply repeating Israeli government talking points.
David Cameron jumped into the ever-sensitive politics of the Middle East with both boots flying today, determined to call a spade a bloody shovel and Gaza a “prison camp” that shamed all those, principally Israel, responsible for its enduring misery. Cameron’s lunge was the diplomatic equivalent of Nigel de Jong’s chest-high tackle of Xabi Alonso in the World Cup final. From Israel’s perspective, he too was lucky not to be sent off.
On the same topic, why is it that Western regimes must desperately claim their allegiance to a secure and safe Israel but care little for the hell they bestow on Iraq, Afghanistan or elsewhere.
The world is upside down. The masses are treated with contempt.
