(Anti-Israel) Welsh Greens politician Pippa Bartolotti’s apparent enviable powers of persuasion with Al Beeb’s gatekeepers, at least on one issue:
If only friends of Israel were so lucky!

A wee glimpse into the machinations that have ended 70 years of Australian bipartisan agreement on Israel with the Australian Labor Party’s recent pronouncement that a future Labor government will recognise Palestinian statehood:
A small taste of the mindset of certain followers of Baroness Tonge, in a recent Facebook post of hers excoriating Jonathan Hoffman for his forthright pro-Israel activism, which resulted in the White Rocks Hotel in Hastings cancelling her talk scheduled for 24 January, a cancellation which has led to many slurs on the intrepid Zionist activist by furious enemies of Israel on that same thread:

Importantly, the Council for the Advancement of Arab-British Understanding (CAABU) demonstrating yet again why it’s so dangerous, with, as I’ve mentioned before, its easily facilitated manipulation of impressionable UK schoolchildren:
