The Labour Friends of Israel, the Conservative Friends of Israel, and the Board of Deputies have made significant inroads in UK politics. They have enabled the UK’s unqualified support for Israel’s genocide.

In his recently published diary, the Conservative politician and former Minister Sir Alan Duncan, denounces in forthright terms his own Government’s acquiescence in Israel’s oppression of the Palestinians with the active influence of the conservative Israel lobby. “[T]he rules of propriety, and all the morality and principle that goes with it, are discarded and rewritten to accommodate this exceptional pro-Israel infiltration into the very centre of our public life,” Duncan asserts.
