Is the Conservative Whip going to be withdrawn
from the hundreds of MPs who are in fact members of a party which has moved
from coalition to impending merger with Avigdor Lieberman's gutter mob, and
which is moving to coalition, doubtless leading to merger, with Naftali
Bennett's sewer mob? Exactly how many people would that leave in receipt of the
Conservative Whip?
David Ward's main mistake has been the common one
of assuming that the present State of Israel has much connection at all to the
Holocaust. Not only is the population within the pre-1967 borders 20 per cent
Arab and growing, but the majority of the rest is of Middle Eastern rather than
European origin: dark-skinned, linguistically and culturally Arabic, and with
little or (overwhelmingly) no connection to the victims of Hitler.
How come, then, that the place is run by Avigdor
Lieberman, who was born in what is now Moldova, who did not move to Israel
until he was 20, and who continues to sport a Slavic surname; by a white man called
Bennett; and by Benjamin Mileikowsky, who affects to be called Netanyahu, a
name inscribed in Ancient Hebrew on a 2800-year-old signet ring which he
displays in his office? Why does this overwhelmingly brown country in the
Levant have an apparently irremovable white ruling class which is basically and
ultimately European or European-American?
Why, indeed?
