Actually, we have to see the funny side of this. Starmer, MI6 alumni and likely still on HMG payroll, was installed by Israel with apparently no opposition let alone outrage about it anywhere in Britain. He micromanages a party that is the antithesis of what Kier Hardy imagined. The LP is a cookie cutter CIA outfit much like the Euro parties, much like the "Greens" of the world. And on your observation about "Israel’s relentless lurch rightwards over the past 15 years", the same could be said of Canada and all of the West who are victims of thoroughly managed fascistic coups done on the sly.

These criminals are out in the open because they are so secure in their infiltration they do not have to worry about being seen as the Mass Murdering Sociopaths they are!

They didn't work so hard with their lies & baseless accusation against Jeremy Corbyn for 5 years & installed this puppet for nothing. Zionist got what they wanted. But it is very sad when the intellectual heroes of the left such as Noam Chomsky still deny the Zionist power within the Western Power Structure.

If one goes back and looks at the pre-war literature on the Zionist movement in Israel before 1939, a number of journalists casually describe "Ben Gurion and his Blue Shirts" in the same category as they would Mussolini and his Black Shirts or Hitler and his Brown Shirts. In the 1930's the terms Fascist and Fascism had not yet become odious insults, and described what was still regarded as a legitimate political movement. Zionism IS a Fascist ideology; it' in its DNA; that is a fact, not an opinion or slanderous insult. Of course, as your article points out, just because the government is Fascist, does not mean that everyone in the state of Israel are Fascists, any more than all Ukrainians should be labeled as NAZIS, just because NAZIS are in control of the military, police and government. Because the term Fascist is so emotionally laden in the modern era we should be careful in applying this epithet to any political group or individual. It just so happens that the current Israeli government IS VERY, VERY, FASCIST.

So disturbingly ironic that Israel has descended so far down the road of fascism, and absolutely unsurprising that the West is fine with it, as it has been fine with fascism wherever it arises. As a person of Jewish descent, Israel both disgusts and embarrasses me. It was a grave mistake from the beginning.

Thank you for your continuing brilliant journalistic contributions, Mr. Cook. We need so many more like you. This article is among your most incisive. Will share widely.

Do you think it would be a thought of posting this news letter to each of the Labour MPs, Labour Peers and Chairperson of the Constituency, with a foot note questioning who is running the Labour Party, who is running the country, and why should one bother to vote for Labour under Starmer?

Social scientists and human ecologists need to examine and correct the persistent tendency to gain supremacy and dominance at the expense of social and environmental good. The centralization of such murderous power on a global scale is a cosmic tragedy on this beautiful, miraculous planet.
