Ed Miliband, the war on truth and the truth about war
About this episode
The episode discusses Ed Miliband's stance on Israeli settlements and the broader implications of Israel's actions in Gaza and the West Bank.
When Ed Miliband announced that the UK would take action and sanction illegal Israeli settlements, the response was swift. Britain had lost its moral compass, these moves would only aid Benjamin Netanyahu, the real victims were the Palestinian people were among the lines of attack. Miliband, who is Jewish, was called a ‘Jew hater’ by Mike Huckabee, the US’s ambassador to Israel. On Free State today we look at how Israel went on the attack and why it is not a pariah but a model for the future. We examine the range of the criticism for anyone who deals in the reality of life in Gaza and the West Bank and details the ethnic cleansing and war crimes that have been committed. Will Israel’s approach be viewed dimly in time or will it be seen as a template for the post democratic apocalypse we’re entering? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
