Israel: They really do shoot children, don’t they. So would you really holiday in a country that repeatedly commits such crimes with impunity? By Stuart Littlewood The other evening ITV News included an item promoting Israel’s holiday industry. It was clearly aimed at Britons desperate to resume foreign travel abroad after the long COVID lockdown. ITV surely knew that several authorities, including the UN and Human Rights Watch, now regard Israel as a racist state and an apartheid regime, and that Israeli propagandists were angling for inclusion on the British government’s “green light” list of foreign holiday destinations about to be announced.

By Jeremy Salt for Palestine Chronicle On May 10 this year the state of Israel … but wait a moment … before we go any further … in talking about this state, its ‘independence’ was announced in 1948 by a colonial settler minority, putting it in exactly the same category as the ‘unilateral declaration of independence’ made in 1965 by Ian Smith, representing the colonial settler minority of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). The notion of independence being declared by a settler minority over the wishes of the indigenous majority was absurd and naturally rejected by the world when declared by Rhodesia’s colonial settlers.
