ICYMI: I wrote for @SecurityContext’s Insecurity Monitor about U.S. support for Israel, and how fracturing that support could help remake U.S. policy in the broader Middle East:

“The United States and Israel are not just strategic allies; they also share a common vision which does not bode well for their neighbors. Both states are a threat to world peace.”
🚨 Western governments are lying to their people about Israel’s attack on Iran. This is a war to ‘remake’ the Middle East. Read Mandy Turner's latest article👇 securityincontext.org/posts/…

🇬🇧 What explains Britain’s unwavering elite support for Israel, even as public opinion shifts in the opposite direction? This article maps this trend in Britain, the country responsible for erasing Palestine from the map during its colonial mandate rule. It argues that British Establishment support for Israel is rooted in its pride in the history of the British Empire; this drives its role now as a facilitator of Israeli apartheid and genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. But this is not the same for the British public, which has shown a marked decrease in favourable attitudes towards Israel over the past few decades – a process that has not faltered despite Hamas’s October 7 attack. This has driven the increase of solidarity activism in Britain, which has become a key hub in the global movement for Palestinian rights, despite attempts to intimidate and criminalise it. ✍️ Mandy Turner 🔗 Read the full article: securityincontext.org/posts/…
