UK’s Oct. 7 blind spot reveals a deeper crisis in its Israel policy – opinion

The article criticizes the UK's post-October 7 policy towards Israel, alleging a "collective amnesia" regarding the Hamas massacre. It argues that the British media, academia, and political elite have portrayed Israel as an aggressor rather than a victim, recycling "phony statistics provided by the terrorists." The author contends that this stance, exemplified by Prime Minister Andy Burnham's focus on a two-state solution and "punishing Israel for its own good," is driven by domestic political calculus rather than genuine values. The article asserts that the UK's actions, including "targeted measures" against Israel, ignore the October 7 atrocities and effectively wage an "economic war against the lone Jewish state."
