There was a long letter to The Irish Times yesterday condemning the recent actions in annexing Palestinian land The letter takes up a column and a quarter, and the list of signatories a column and three waters(36 signatories in all - a worldwide list of political dignitaries, Nobel prizewinners and officers), U.N. committee Members, and human rights representatives - and the former Prime Minister of Norway. There are a couple of Americans on the list and several Irish ones - but not one single British name - Labour or Conservative The seem far too busy accusing maverick humanists of "antisemitism" This act of annexation is one of the most dangerous moves to have taken place in an already toxic aea for a long time, yet ours and America's and many other national and world leaders have washed their hands of it The British Labour Party Leader has already made his position on Israeli human rights abuses - and we should support this man out of loyalty to the party - 'Hell no - I won't go" Jim
