Britain’s anti-Israel turn is becoming a threat to itself and the West

 From nurses joining BDS to Greens declaring ‘Zionism is racism,’ hostility toward Israel is spreading through British institutions, eroding Western values and raising questions about whether even Washington can still fully trust its closest ally.

Two weeks ago, it was Britain’s Royal College of Nursing (RCN), which represents hundreds of thousands of nurses and nursing staff in the country. The men and women in white nursing uniforms decided to join the BDS movement and to sever all ties with Teva as part of a boycott.

True, there will be no immediate impact on Britain’s drug supply, but we already know where this is heading. Step by step, they are embracing the Islamist logic: It does not matter how much we hurt ourselves, as long as Jews are harmed, even slightly. After all, that was the logic behind the October 7 massacre.

We had barely finished with the nurses when Britain’s Green Party approved a resolution declaring that “Zionism is racism.” Adding insult to injury, it also expressed opposition to a two-state solution while embracing the “solution” of one state.

What do the Greens have to do with such profound hatred for Israel’s very existence? The idea of the Jewish people’s right to a national home, which lies at the heart of Zionism, made a major breakthrough in 1917 with the Balfour Declaration.

Why? Because those were the days when empires were breaking apart amid growing recognition of the right to self-determination. That is precisely what Zionism sought, against the backdrop of the struggle against colonialism.

Yet now Britain’s Green Party has decided to join the Islamist, jihadist, Hamas-style imperialism that is fighting not for a Palestinian state but to turn the entire world, including Britain, into part of an Islamist caliphate.

Have they gone mad? Yes. Hatred has driven them out of their minds. Incidentally, they voted in favor of “a single democratic Palestinian State in all of historic Palestine with Jerusalem as its capital.” Wonderful.
