Sir Keir and the Israeli Defence Force

Sir Keir's sacking of Rebecca Long Bailey blows out of the water any pretentions to unite the Labour Party.

The left were saying that he wanted to ditch any radical policies to make Labour more acceptable to fleet street and to do so he would sack anybody with links to Jeremy Corbyn. The left were saying that he was too subservient to the interests of the Israeli state. Why did he have to go and prove them right?

The American Police learn all their dirty tricks from the Israeli defence forces. According to an Amnesty report:

"Baltimore law enforcement officials, along with hundreds of others from Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, Arizona, Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Georgia, Washington state as well as the DC Capitol police have all traveled to Israel for training. Thousands of others have received training from Israeli officials here in the U.S."

The Israeli Defence Force has its own way of dealing with unarmed Palestinians and these are the methods they are passing on to the American police. Perhaps Rebecca Long-Bailey has a point. Perhaps Sir Keir should not be so quick to defend them.
