Secret British document from 1953—five years after Israel was created—lays out clearly how the European settler colony was set up as the strategic outpost of the Anglo-American empire in Middle East.
🚨 "The defence of the Middle East will require facilities in Israel in peace and war."
🚨 "We hope Israel's armed forces could be developed and used in such a way as to meet the needs of Allied strategy for the whole Middle East area."
🚨 "The Israel Government are in no position to insist on their own point of view where that differs from the plans and wishes of the Western Powers, upon whom Israel is dependent financially and economically."
🚨 "Israel must give the Allies the facilities they require for the defence of the Middle East."
🚨 "Israel must make available [military] formations for employment outside Israel according to plans for the defence of the Middle East."
🚨 "In return, Western Powers will examine sympathetically Israel's requests for the arms and equipment necessary to enable her to play her correct role."
🚨 "Western help should be concentrated mainly on the building up of Israel's airforce."

Tonight I spoke at a huge demonstration outside Downing Street, in solidarity with the people of Gaza, called in response to the atrocities at Raffah.
Our members care dearly about children, not only in their classes but around the world.
We need political leaders who advocate for more than just telling Netenyahu to "stop". What is happening is barbarism.
Until arms sales are suspended this government and its allies remain complicit.
