09/08 Links Pt1: When Every Jew in the World Is a ‘Settler’; Miliband invoked his 60 relatives murdered in the Holocaust, then announced sanctions on Israel

From Ian:

Seth Mandel: When Every Jew in the World Is a ‘Settler’
Andy Burnham has decided to begin his term as prime minister by fundamentally reshaping Britain’s relationship with Israel. For the worse.

Burnham is trying to prevent any further exodus of anti-Zionist politicians from his ruling but floundering Labour Party. Keir Starmer, his predecessor, came into office on a massive electoral wave, which he promptly squandered. To get out of the hole Starmer left London in, Burnham has picked up a shovel and begun to dig: He is simply doubling down on Starmerism.

And the first order of business is to institute a boycott of Jewish towns and businesses in Judea and Samaria.

That’s going to cost Palestinians jobs, but the Gaza Left is unconcerned with actual living, breathing Palestinians. Burnham too, apparently.

Why is Burnham instituting discriminatory policies against Jews while making Palestinian lives harder? Because he has been convinced by the “settler violence” narrative.

Now, violence orchestrated by a few dozen extremist Jews has risen. But by the most recent annual statistics we have, that violence still does not reach the number of attacks originating in Judea and Samaria by Palestinians against Jews.

Still, violence moving in the wrong direction is a problem. And there are two ways that Israel’s allies have sought to address it. The first is the approach taken by President Trump. Along with Ambassador Mike Huckabee and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the administration’s team has real credibility with the Israeli prime minister and the segment of the Israeli population most affected by, and implicated in, disorder in Judea and Samaria.

The result: Recently Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the removal of several illegal settler outposts, and the IDF dismissed a soldier who prayed with settlers who besieged an Arab home, despite it being election season, a time when Benjamin Netanyahu is usually more hesitant to anger the right wing.

The Trump team won Israel’s trust and got some concessions.

The other strategy, the one pursued by Burnham, France, Canada, and other Western countries, was the opposite: reduce cooperation, reduce trust, and remove all possible diplomatic influence over the Israelis.

The results: Israel closed the British consulate in Jerusalem and removed Britons from West Bank Palestinian military training and from the Gaza postwar coordination team.

The removal of the consulate in Jerusalem is overdue. The UK uses it as a diplomatic post for Palestinians but keeps its Israeli embassy in Tel Aviv. The UK is now free to move its Palestinian consulate into the state of Palestine that it recognized.

The other result of all this will, of course, be increased anti-Semitism. If you want to understand why Jews are uncomfortable with the suddenly ubiquitous “settler violence” narrative, it’s not only because it paints all Jewish life beyond the armistice line as illegitimate.
Miliband invoked his 60 relatives murdered in the Holocaust, then announced sanctions on Israel
Miliband cites personal family history as he bans trade with West Bank

The tone of the speech shifted sharply as Miliband turned to Gaza and the West Bank.

He said he felt “a deep sense of shame” over Palestinian suffering during the past three years and described events in Gaza as a stain on the conscience of the international community.

In the West Bank, Miliband accused violent settlers of carrying out ethnic cleansing in some Palestinian communities and said the British government believed Israeli authorities had too often failed to prevent forced displacement. He formally declared that Britain considered Israel’s occupation of the West Bank unlawful.

Miliband announced that Britain would ban imports from Israeli settlements, prohibit advertising for settlement property in the UK and impose sanctions on companies and individuals involved in financing, construction, infrastructure and other activity supporting settlement expansion. The legislation is expected to take effect within six to nine months.

He stressed that the measures targeted settlements rather than Israel within the Green Line and said Britain would continue what he described as important trade with Israel. He also said he opposed the broader Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.

Turning to Gaza, Miliband said there was growing evidence that war crimes may have been committed and backed international legal proceedings examining Israeli conduct. He stopped short of determining that genocide had occurred, saying Britain would await the conclusions of competent courts.
Full speech: Ed Miliband says entire occupation unlawful, slams ‘settler terrorists’ and Israeli government that indulges them
British foreign secretary stresses his own Jewish heritage as he expresses ‘shame’ over what has unfolded in Palestine, alleges ‘ethnic cleansing,’ bans dealings with settlements
Ed Miliband: The 'proud British Jew' who turned his back on Britain's Jews
British Jews can now expect an extra wave of antisemitic acts in the name of the illegal ethnic-cleansing occupation that Britain said Israel is, and it would be effectively in line with government policy.

Perhaps the most egregious element of Miliband's heroic announcement on Tuesday was the sheer oxymoronic hypocrisy at its nexus.

He declared the Israeli settlements across the Green Line to be illegal, despite the fact that successive peace efforts, from Oslo to Camp David and beyond, have envisaged a final agreement in which this area would remain under Israeli sovereignty.

He said the sanctions regime will target illegal settlements and settlement expansion, not Israel, without acknowledging that he has given further incentive for the demonization of the Jewish State on a very public stage.

A British Jew investing in property in a Jewish neighborhood of east Jerusalem may now face restrictions, yet Britain does not impose comparable restrictions on British citizens buying property in Turkish-occupied northern Cyprus.

Miliband argued that holding Jewish people responsible for the actions of the Israeli Government is antisemitism, while simultaneously penalizing them for the actions of a small number of settlers who commit violent acts in a country they may have never been to.

Sanctions will affect Jews in Britain
And why some may say the sanctions won't tangibly affect British Jews: they will.

British Jewish businesses that supply kosher wine to hundreds of families shouldn't have to worry about losing half of their inventory.

People who - rightly so - wish to make Aliyah due to rising antisemitism shouldn't have to fear attending a real estate event that advertises houses in Maale Adumim.

And the other implications: what about the those who obtained a degree at Ariel University; will it be invalid? Can Yeshivat Gush Etzion advertise to British Jewish schoolboys?

Can a Jewish artist in the Jewish quarter of the Old City have their work stocked in a UK store?

These are not questions that British Jews should have to ask their government on the eve of Rosh Hashanah.

In the words of the Chief Rabbi, it "is truly a dark day for British Jews."

Not especially because of the sanctions - the success of their implementation and enforcement is yet to be seen - but because the government did a Machiavellian display of canvassing Jewish opinion and seemingly taking on board their concerns, only to completely and flagrantly ignore them, and then some.

And, funnily enough, these measures may incentivize the very extremism they seek to target.

If, God forbid, another terrorist attack targets British Jews, the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary will undoubtedly stand before the cameras, condemn antisemitism as 'un-British and an attack on British values,' and assure the Jewish community that Jews must never be held responsible for the actions of Israel.

They will be right.

But governments cannot simultaneously tell Jews that they are not responsible for Israel while adopting rhetoric that helps activists collapse the distinction between the two.

And Miliband cannot have it both ways: he cannot invoke his identity as a proud British Jew while fueling the very same fire that seeks Jewish destruction.


JPost Editorial: Playing politics with security: Jerusalem must review UK privileges amidst sanctions
Intel cooperation usually not publicly visible, but entirely vital
For years, the British public knew almost nothing about the operation. An Intelligence and Security Committee report finally disclosed details in 2025, describing Hezbollah’s stockpile as a contingency for a possible future attack.

Such cooperation is rarely visible precisely because intelligence relationships are supposed to remain quiet.

Tuesday supplied another reminder of why the partnership matters. On the same day Britain announced its measures against settlements, it introduced tougher sanctions against Iran, expanding financial, trade, and aviation restrictions designed to constrain Tehran’s nuclear program and hostile activities.

Iran threatens Israel directly. It has also plotted against dissidents and Jewish targets on European soil, supported Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations, and repeatedly challenged Western interests.

Britain and Israel therefore have genuine strategic interests in common even when their governments disagree sharply.

UK should feel consequences of its decisions
Israel should respond to the settlement ban. Diplomatic relations require reciprocity, and London cannot assume that it will absorb each new punitive measure without consequence. Jerusalem can review discretionary British access and privileges, reconsider aspects of diplomatic cooperation and make clear that partnership works in both directions.

Calls to dismantle intelligence cooperation, however, would be a mistake.

The information exchanged between British and Israeli agencies does not belong to Ed Miliband, Benjamin Netanyahu, or any particular government. It exists to prevent terrorist attacks, disrupt Iranian operations, and protect citizens.

There is also a message here for London.

Britain cannot continually narrow its political relationship with Israel while assuming that the most valuable elements of the strategic relationship exist on autopilot. Allies can disagree, sometimes bitterly. They also have to recognize what they stand to lose when disagreement becomes a systematic downgrading of the relationship.

Britain has chosen a “reset.” It should make certain that, in trying to punish Israel over the West Bank, it does not weaken an alliance that has helped keep British citizens safe.
Melanie Phillips: An ally no longer
Miliband’s core claim is that the “settlements” are illegal and the “occupation” of these disputed territories is unlawful. This is ignorant, false and absurd.

These areas of Judea and Samaria were part of ancient Israel. The world body that preceded the UN designated them, along with Gaza, for settlement by the Jews alone to restore the Jewish homeland — because the Jews are the only people for whom the holy land was ever their national kingdom.

Customary international law holds that the boundaries of a colonial territory form the boundaries of the state that may subsequently emerge from it. Judea and Samaria were part of Mandatory Palestine from which the State of Israel emerged. To claim that the Jews have unlawfully occupied or have settled illegally in their own land is therefore ridiculous.

It’s the British government that’s actually demanding the ethnic cleansing of Jews from their land and punishing Israel for not bowing to this demand.

The government continually claims that the “settlements” are destroying the possibility of a state of Palestine and thus thwarting the “two-state solution”. Why? Why can’t there be Jews living in a state of Palestine?

And if the government really thinks that only a state of Palestine can end the Middle East impasse, why doesn’t it sanction the Palestinian Authority? The PA has made a Palestine state an unconscionable proposition for any civilised person to propose, because it continues to pay large “pay-for-slay” rewards to the families of terrorists who murder Jews and teaches Palestinian Arab children that murdering Jews is their highest calling.

Why doesn’t Miliband “as a proud British Jew” who says he is “unwavering” in his support for Israel care about any of that? Why does he want instead to punish the Palestinian Arabs’ Jewish victims?

Why is he, as a “proud British Jew” who is “unwavering” in his support for Israel ,demanding the ethnic cleansing of Jews to create a state for people committed to a genocidal agenda which would have Jerusalem, Ben Gurion airport and the whole of central Israel at their mercy?

The benighted UK government is reportedly spinning all this to the Trump administration as “largely symbolic” and with no material impact on the UK’s wider relationship with Israel on trade or security.

Oh really? Britain is heavily dependent on Israeli intelligence which is essential for its own security. In their list of retaliatory measures against Britain, the Israelis haven’t mentioned the option of withholding that intelligence provision from its most treacherous ally.

But as I said this evening on GB News (click on the arrow below to watch the interview), there’s no coming back from this for the UK under this government. Britain is Israel’s ally no longer. It has become an enemy of the Jewish people, a threat to the west and a menace to civilisation.
An ally no longer; Britain's unhinged war against Israel

Jake Wallis Simons: Symbolic sanctions to appease ‘muppet’ backbenchers threaten a real-world crisis for Britain
You know those trade sanctions that Ed Miliband is about to slap on Israel? Well, last night, according to Bloomberg, British diplomats were quietly telling the Americans something rather different: that the measures are largely symbolic, and that nothing of substance will change in our trade or security relationship with Jerusalem.

That tells you everything you need to know about this government: contradictory messages to different people on the same day. This isn’t about running the country responsibly, in the national interest; it is about managing optics, appeasing its own backbenchers and wavering progressive voters on the one hand, and managing the demands of reality on the other.

This is all part of the “comprehensive reset” with Israel that the foreign secretary promised parliament last month. According to a Labour MP – who spoke to the Telegraph anonymously – these measures were intended to reassure “muppet” backbenchers who were “freaked out” by email campaigns from Gaza activists and the Greens threatening to steal their seats.

Meanwhile, we now know that a diplomatic operation has been running behind closed doors to reassure the White House that the reset is purely cosmetic, amid fears in Downing Street that this could be Andy Burnham’s first serious Trumpian crisis. The prime minister reportedly telephoned the president on Monday afternoon in a desperate attempt to soften the blow. Good luck with that.

However, with Keir Starmer’s old seat of Holborn and St Pancras facing a by-election soon, in which the Greens will pull out all the stops, the danger is real. The government may be sitting on a working majority of 166, but if that seat falls away from Labour, it will be widely seen as writing on the wall, and morale in the party will plummet.

Yet the left aren’t stupid. If our relationship with Israel carries on as before, they will be even more enraged than they are at the moment. Officials have privately conceded that traders may be able to re-label goods to get round the restrictions. Does anybody think that this practice will escape the gimlet eye of Britain’s increasing number of antisemites?

A gesture, in other words, is only symbolic in the hands of the person making it. Everybody else is entitled to take it seriously; the government’s failure to grasp this, and to understand the magnitude of the potential fallout, is confirmation that we are indeed ruled by muppets.
EXCLUSIVE: Miliband: Why I rejected UK Jewish leaders’ pleas over Israel sanctions
Ed Miliband has firmly rejected allegations that he is putting the security of British Jews at risk with his announcement of tough new sanctions against Israel.

The foreign secretary also revealed he disregarded pleas from Jewish communal leaders, including Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, the Board of Deputies, and the Jewish Leadership Council, not to announce West Bank trade sanctions, after deciding that “a strategy of passivity in the face of what is happening is not a strategy”.

In an exclusive interview with Jewish News in his office in central London on Tuesday afternoon, the Jewish former Labour Party leader rejected allegations that he was putting the security of British Jews at risk . “I don’t accept that,” Miliband said. “Any person who targets British Jews because of the actions of the Israeli government is an antisemite in my view. That’s very, very important, and I couldn’t have said it more plainly. Indeed, I think that view is shared across the House of Commons, and I believe we all have a responsibility to protect British Jews as a government, as a society. I say that loudly and clearly.”

He added: “I don’t think anyone should be conflating these two sets of questions. There are British Jews going about their lives, there are the actions of the Israeli government, and then there is our relationship with Israel. I want a strong and flourishing relationship with Israel.”

Miliband strongly disputed claims that sanctions could now jeopardise the right of Jews, including those from the UK, to pray in the Old City, part of East Jerusalem. “They’re not going to be. I can absolutely assure you of that. There’s no inhibition on the right to pray, people to visit the Old City, people to visit relatives and so on. I really want to give that reassurance to you, readers and viewers.”

He added: “It’s so important to distinguish between our view of green line Israel—an absolutely central part of a two-state solution—and our view of the occupation.

“Once you take the view that the occupation is unlawful, I do believe that you then have to look at your economic relationships as we would with any territory where we thought that there was unlawfulness.”

Miliband confirmed that the British government had concluded, in line with the July 2024 advisory opinion published by the International Court of Justice, not just that the occupation of the West Bank was “illegal” but also that it was “unlawful.”

Sweeping sanctions include an import ban on goods and services from the territories and a stricter block on weapons exports linked to the occupation. Critics said the move “does nothing to advance peace, risks harming Jewish life in Britain, and damages the UK’s relationship with a vital ally.”

Asked directly if he had decided to ignore the advice of many of the main Jewish organisations in this country, Miliband responded: “Well, there are different views in the Jewish community, truthfully, about what we should do if you talk to people from Yachad and other organisations.”

He added: “I think there’s a diversity of viewpoints, but I accept what you say about the Board of Deputies and the JLC and the Chief Rabbi, all of whom are people and organisations I deeply respect. I think all of us are committed to the two-state solution. All of us, I think, are appalled by the tragedy that has unfolded in the region. I think all of us are appalled by the Hamas attack of 7 October and I hope we’re all appalled by what we’ve also seen in Gaza and the death and destruction in Gaza. I think our disagreement is what should be done.
‘A dark day for Britain’s Jews’: Chief Rabbi Mirvis responds to West Bank sanctions
Chief Rabbi Mirvis has responded to the UK’s announcement of sanctions on the West Bank by describing today as “truly a dark day for Britain’s Jews”, and accusing the government of having “chosen to ignore the deep concerns expressed by so many of us.”

The measures, announced today by the Foreign Secretary in Parliament, will see the UK, alongside 11 other countries institute a ban on goods from Judea and Samaria. Ed Miliband’s speech to the House of Commons made the accusation that “ethnic cleansing” was being carried out in the West Bank by “terrorists” with Israeli government backing, and that the Israeli government had committed “war crimes” in Gaza.

Chief Rabbi Mirvis described the measures announced as amounting to “little more than political flag bearing for mendacious anti-Israel rhetoric and those who harbour a dangerous obsession with the Jewish State. These measures will succeed only in bolstering the very extremism they seek to target.

“On the eve of Rosh Hashanah and at a time when our community is more vulnerable than ever to the wave of extremism that has been building over recent years, these sanctions do nothing to advance the cause of peace. Nor do they make anyone safer – quite the contrary.

“Gesture politics of this kind feeds into an increasingly hostile discourse about Israel, and the cumulative effect of such punitive policies is to further embolden those, at home and abroad, who use hatred as a weapon against Jews.”


UK sanctions on Judea and Samaria ‘shameful,’ ‘not helpful,’ Danon says
The “so-called sanctions” that British foreign secretary Ed Miliband announced on Tuesday banning products from Judea and Samaria are “shameful” and “not helpful,” Danny Danon, Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, told reporters at U.N. headquarters on Tuesday.

“We’re an independent country, a sovereign country,” Danon said at the press briefing in Turtle Bay. “If someone thinks that diplomacy is being played by applying sanctions or trying to bend our arm, we will take action as well.”

The envoy told reporters that he “met with the U.K. ambassador when she came in.”

“Don’t expect to dictate your ideas on us,” he told her. “You know, the British Mandate of Palestine is over.”

Miliband told Parliament on Tuesday that the United Kingdom would ban imports from Israeli “settlements,” impose more sanctions on “extremist settlers who have supported or incited acts of violence against Palestinian communities” and target companies and people involved in “settlement expansion.”

The United Kingdom plans to ban advertising “illegal settlements” in the United Kingdom and restrict exports of goods that it says “materially contribute to the occupation,” Miliband said.

“Settler terrorism is rampant,” Miliband said. “The U.N. reports an average of six violent settler attacks against Palestinians per day this year, the highest on record.”

“The British government agrees that there is ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in areas of the West Bank perpetrated by settler terrorists,” he said. “All too often the Israeli government has turned a blind eye to this and worse, members of it have made statements and taken actions to support the forced displacement of Palestinians.”

Danon told JNS that he rejects the term “settler violence” and said that those carrying out attacks against Palestinians in Judea and Samaria should be treated as criminals rather than terrorists.

“I don’t think it is terrorism, because I don’t think it’s organized,” he said. “You don’t see ideology or budget.”

The Israeli envoy compared what he called “so-called settler violence” with Hamas, which he said has a “chain of command” and “goals.”

“We’re talking about a few thousand gangsters who commit sporadic activities,” he said, referring to Israelis who commit violence against Arabs in the region. “All the ones should be arrested, and that’s it.”

Danon told JNS that when he was a child, members of an “organized” Jewish terrorist organization “were all arrested and put in jail.”


‘Morally distorted': Israel hits back after British sanctions on Judea, Samaria
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar declared “countermeasures” against the United Kingdom following Tuesday’s announcement by his British counterpart, Ed Miliband, that the U.K. would ban products from Judea and Samaria.

“The accusations made today by the Foreign Secretary of the Labour government in the British Parliament were outrageous lies,” Sa’ar said.

“A boycott of goods from Judea and Samaria is a despicable practice that harms hard-working, law-abiding citizens. The Labour Government has decided to employ this practice of boycotts and BDS only against the Jewish state.”

The measures Sa’ar imposed include closing the British Consulate in Jerusalem; removing British representatives from the International Gaza Support Center, an organization established to coordinate stabilization and relief efforts in the aftermath of the Gaza war and headquartered in Israel; terminating British training of Palestinian Authority forces in Judea and Samaria; and denying entry to Israel to 12 British elected representatives and other British nationals involved in antisemitic or anti-Israel activity. (Among them is former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn)

UK Foreign Secretary Miliband had told the British Parliament on Tuesday, “The government believes the unlawfulness of the occupation should be reflected in the economic relationship we choose to have with the occupied territories.” The ban will come into effect within six months.

Describing the British move as “morally distorted,” Sa’ar called Labour’s actions “blatant interference in the affairs of a sovereign state and in its electoral process ... [a] completely unacceptable attempt by a foreign government to exert external influence in the midst of an election campaign.”
Kemi Badenoch: Labour’s anti-Israel obsession shows it hasn’t changed since Jeremy Corbyn was leader
As British Jews prepare to celebrate the Jewish new year they face a chilling reality – the Labour government looks set to announce what effectively amounts to a boycott of the world's only Jewish state.

For any observer of British politics, the normalisation of antisemitism has been one of the most disturbing trends in recent years. Gone are the days when antisemitism was pushed underground or confined to only the extremist fringes of our national debate.

Britain’s Jewish communities are in a state of perpetual anxiety. Fences surround their schools, synagogues and cultural institutions to protect them from those who wish to do them harm.

Once again, British Jews find themselves warning their own government that its relentless demonisation of the world’s only Jewish state risks fanning the flames of antisemitism here at home.

For years, Labour has insisted that the party has changed since Jeremy Corbyn. They tell Britain’s Jewish community that the poison which flourished under his leadership has been confronted. They hold meetings, issue statements, and promise that antisemitism will never again be tolerated.

Yet their actions tell a different story.

What has been revealed this week beyond any doubt is that while Corbyn may have lost the Labour leadership, he very much did win the argument inside the party.

For all Labour claim to have rooted out antisemitism internally, the degree of anti-Israel hatred means that Labour’s approach to many of these issues is Corbyn in all but name.

Under Keir Starmer, the government suspended arms export licences, halted trade negotiations, restored funding to UNRWA and changed Britain’s approach to the International Criminal Court. It recognised a Palestinian state while Israeli hostages remained in captivity.

But this was not enough for Andy Burnham. In one of his first interventions as an MP, he said he was sorry that Labour “got it wrong” on Gaza. According to him, they should have gone harder.

Now, his government is escalating its campaign against Israel, throwing British interests under the bus to win back Islamist and far left activist votes.

Any decision to ban trade with Israeli settlements in the West Bank will become a de facto boycott on Israel given the difficulty any British business will face separating “legitimate” and “illegitimate” activities. It will inflame protests and violence against businesses that trade with Israel.

This matters because antisemitism does not exist in a vacuum.

The government itself has acknowledged that hatred of Israel has been at the heart of some of the antisemitism we have witnessed since October 7. Ministers therefore cannot simultaneously recognise that connection and behave as though the relentless demonisation and singling out of Israel has no effect on the atmosphere in Britain.

Labour says it wants to reassure Jewish families. So why does its politics so often validate the activists and Islamists whose demonisation of Israel is rooted in one thing: the rejection of a Jewish presence in the land of Israel?

Labour says foreign policy should advance peace. So why are decisions being driven by pressure from its own left flank over who can take the hardest line against Israel?

Labour says national security comes first. So why is it prepared to jeopardise one of Britain's most important security relationships and damage our international standing with the United States?

My Shadow Foreign Secretary, Tom Tugendhat, understands this better than most. As a former security minister and soldier, he knows that foreign policy is not an undergraduate debating society. Israel is an important intelligence partner. Israeli intelligence has helped British authorities prevent terrorist attacks and protect British lives.

A British Prime Minister's first responsibility is the safety of the British people.


As Billionaires Flee U.K., British Government Picks a Fight With Israel
Talent and capital are fleeing Britain so fast that the Labour Government is announcing sanctions against Israel.

Rokos Capital founder Chris Rokos, reportedly the third-largest taxpayer in the U.K., is leaving Britain for Greece, Bloomberg News reported. Other billionaires who have left the U.K. recently amid government plans for tax increases include Lakshmi Mittal, Sharvin Bharti Mittal, Guillaume Pousaz, Nassef Sawiris, John Fredricksen, and Michael Platt.

Platt, who left for Switzerland and the UAE, declared, "the UK is no longer a serious contender as a jurisdiction in which to do business."

Fredericksen, who decamped to Cyprus and the UAE., said, "Britain has gone to hell."

The bond market views British long-term debt as increasingly risky, sending long-term government borrowing costs soaring to the highest levels since 1998, nearly 6 percent for the 30-year gilt.

The news about Rokos means that four of the five originally London-based founders of the asset management firm Brevan Howard will have left. The firm was named for Jean-Philippe Blochet, Rokos, James Vernon, Trifon Natsis, and Alan Howard. Howard and Blochet moved to Geneva, and Natsis reportedly relocated to Abu Dhabi.

Instead of focusing on stanching what Bloomberg describes as a "wealth exodus," British politicians are pretending as if their country is still a colonial power in territories it took over from the Ottoman Empire after World War I. The British foreign secretary, Ed Miliband, rolled out a series of new sanctions, including a ban on British arms sales and "other exports that materially contribute to the occupation." Miliband also announced "an import ban on goods from illegal settlements in the occupied territories," while making clear that he defined "the occupation as a whole"—by which he means allowing Jews to live in Jerusalem and its suburbs—as "unlawful." He also promised, "We will take action against specific companies and individuals who provide services such as construction, infrastructure, financing, or real estate for settlement expansion."
