"Blair insists that parts of the left cast the Jewish community as supporters of the government of Israel. Who, exactly? It is Israel's most fervent champions who have laboured to collapse the distinction."
"A recent poll found as low as 12% of Britons support Israel's actions in Gaza, while an overwhelming majority supports an arms embargo on Israel, sanctions and the arrest of its leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, for war crimes."
"Given that 71% of Jewish Americans voted for Kamala Harris, that means the vast majority. You will search in vain for a thunderous denunciation of this antisemitism."
"Blair has joined Trump's Orwellian Board of Peace for Gaza, a grotesque, neocolonial fantasy of turning a shattered territory into a playground for developers."
Tony Blair asserts that the left has allied with Islamists, labeling their opposition to Israel as a mutation of antisemitism. He fails to provide evidence for this claim, unlike his previous actions regarding the Iraq war. The Green party's rising popularity reflects a broader public sentiment against Israel's actions, with polls showing low support for Israel in Britain. Blair's accusations overlook the fact that opposition to Israel exists independently of Muslim perspectives. He also neglects to address the antisemitism present in pro-Israel rhetoric, particularly from figures like Donald Trump.
