2025 "The Palestinians, being drowned in a sea of violently hostile Zionism."
cIn Palestine in 1915 Palestinian Arab Jews, Palestinian Arab, Palestinian Arab Christians, Palestinian Arab Muslims, Palestinian Arab Sufi, Palestinian Arab Orthodox, Palestinian Arab Christians and Palestinian Arab Secular people lived side by side, at ease with each other for centuries, they intermingled, intermarried, they lived and worked together. The British Empire intent on breaking the Ottoman Empire during WWI and assuming the rule over those areas, seeking to encourage internal warfare against the Ottomans, had promised Arab Warlords and Zionists land that was not theirs to promise.
The Palestine Mandate and the Sykes-Picot Agreement carved up the region into compliant monarchies and dictatorships, to prevent the emergence of independent pan-Arab political and economic solidarity assuming its right to control the resources and assets of their own lands. The British armed the monarchies, trained their leaders in English Universities, their military commanders at Sandhurst.
The Black and Tans were sent to Palestine after the Irish War of Independence. There was 'work to be done' in suppressing the Arab peoples, and in arming and training the Zionist colonists. Long before the atrocity of the Nazi Holocaust.
1920s Colonial Office files CO/733/12 and /58 contain detailed discussions by British officials as to the purpose of these policies, a long term strategic plan.
In 1937 Sir Ronald Storrs, a Governor of The Palestine Mandate describes the Zionist enclave as a 'loyal little Jewish Ulster in a sea of potentially hostile Arabism', hostile to being ruled over by another European Colonial Power. Arabism meant Arab political and economic independence, and did not refer to Islam.
Ulster was a 400 year old plantation at this time, and had recently been partitioned from the rest of Ireland, an act that caused a civil war and later one gave rise the 'The Troubles'. Peace as achieved in 1999.
Continuity
The continuity of British Wealth as Power Empire Asset Management is the subject of Adam Curtis' documentary 'The Mayfair Set'.
The Mayfair Set Episode 1
'The Mayfair Set' which how British Oligarchs deployed private warfare (to mask British State sponsorship) to undermine African and Eastern Mediterranean countries seeking to gain independent democratic political control of the resources of their own lands which had been under the control of the British Colonial Office and it's oligarchy sponsors.
That continuity remains intact, and is why Sir Keir Starmer is a committed Zionist.
Israel is a weapon of the British Wealth-as-Power grouping, the anglophone oligarchy formerly known as The British Empire - America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand et al, and of course the European powers of France and Germany and their vassal states
Their participation in the genocide underway is well beyond complicity, they are the driving energy behind it, hiding behind Israel and various anti-Semitic tropes so that they own peoples believe Israel is the driver.
Tell me it is not a famine again?
In the 1840s, whilst food was being exported from Ireland to England to fill its markets, British troops guarded the shipments of livestock, cheese, butter, grains and other food stuff, as Irish Catholics were starving to death, their 'famine' induced by potato blight, also known as late blight, which was caused by the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans. This organism thrived in the damp, cool conditions of Irelands climate and it spread through the air and water, infecting potato plants and causing decay in both foliage and tubers. Potatoes were the staple food crop of Catholic Irish peasants, most of whom were impoverished tenants of Protestant English landlords, tenants whose work was providing the labour for the English Landlords farms and industries.
In 2025 hundreds of thousands of tons of food, medicine and other goods deemed necessary for the basic needs of the people of Gaza are blockaded, by Israeli civilians and by Israeli Occupation Forces.
This is not famine, this is the deliberate intentional starvation of a population by withholding readily available food guarded by a well organised, well armed, motivated military machine operating a colonial strategy.
The continuity of the willingness of British Wealth-as-Power to inflict mass harm upon targeted populations is largely obscured to British students in British schools, purposefully.
That must end in order to build the peoples political solidarity which is necessary to bring about accountability and justice. Education is always political.

this particular continuity must be broken, and at pace.
