Before November makes it to its last day, Britain has promised to kill off all forms of Palestinian resistance against the Zionist regime of Israel.
It is Home Secretary Priti Patel's promise to the Zionist regime in Tel Aviv and the Zionist movement in London. She will begin with the law that makes Hamas a terrorist organisation. Never mind if Hamas is a duly elected government in the Gaza Strip.
To Patel, the Palestinians are not eligible to elect a government because, to her right wing mind, they are lesser human beings. It must be said, Britain has a dangerous home secretary. It is politicians like Patel that make apartheid possible. Apartheid died in South Africa only to live again in Israel. And Britain had a major role in making apartheid's second life possible.
To Patel, too, Hamas has no right to defend itself or the Palestinians when attacked or when their land is stolen. It is no ordinary law. Anyone in Britain who is caught showing any support or soliciting support for Hamas — translation, support for the Palestinian cause — is liable to be jailed up to 10 years should the draft law be approved.
Patel thinks Hamas is anti-Semitic. The home secretary needs an education. There is a mile of difference between being anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic. If defending Palestinian rights against a terrorist state is anti-Semitic, then many who do so will be anti-Semitic.
International law that makes Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory illegal will be anti-Semitic. What's more, international law recognises the right of the occupied to armed resistance. By Patel's reasoning, even the United Nations and members of the international community that support Palestinian rights will be anti-Semitic.
Patel's pro-Zionist bias is showing. Every day, illegal settlers, with the help of Israeli soldiers, are driving the Palestinians out of their homes in the most brutal manner. Is Patel blind? Is Britain, as a nation, blind, too, to the daily atrocities committed by the Zionist regime against women, children and the elderly?
How can such an anti-Palestinian law even cross the minds of British ministers? Know this, Britain: such a law is inconsistent with London's espoused interest in human rights for all.
Here is what Patel and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson should do. Firstly, they should educate themselves about the difference between being anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic. Remember the Arabs are Semites, too, however much the Zionists try to hide this fact.
The Arabs and Jews are cousins. They share the same ancestral father, Prophet Ibrahim (p.b.u.h.). Secondly, Britain has an ancient sin that it must apologise for: the Balfour Declaration. It is this shameful document that made the theft of Palestinian land possible. Not to mention anything about the Zionist regime's genocide against the Palestinians.
Finally, Britain should not succumb to the Zionist regime's blackmail. Just because Washington and Brussels have sold their soul to Tel Aviv, London shouldn't follow them there like a lemming over the cliff.
Hamas as a government has a right to defend itself, especially against a terrorist regime. Remember, Hamas isn't the occupier, the Zionist regime is. If international law can recognise the right of occupied people to defend their land, why can't Britain? Doesn't the rule of law matter anymore to London? Impunity thrives in Tel Aviv because No. 10 Downing Street allows it to.
