Wednesday, November 8, 2023

I can’t think of any colony or mandate that was as demanding intellectually and emotionally as Palestine.

Key Points: 
  • I can’t think of any colony or mandate that was as demanding intellectually and emotionally as Palestine.
  • I said: “I found the British still very emotional about Palestine.
  • Why?” And he said: “It’s associated, don’t you think with partisanship with one side or the other.
  • I can’t think of any colony or mandate that was as demanding intellectually and emotionally as Palestine.
  • Mayhew, a staunch anti-communist, found himself out of sync with the zeitgeist and abandoned Labour for the Liberal Party.

Internal rivalries

  • There has thus been a powerful tendency for the antagonisms of the Arab-Israeli conflict to map onto Labour’s own internal rivalries and the factional battle for control over the party.
  • Between 1945 and 1967, this usually manifested itself as a clash between a pro-Zionist left and an anti-Zionist right.

Starmer’s predicament

  • Keir Starmer’s political positioning on the 2023 Gaza conflict is shaped by his experience of the more recent chapters of that history.
  • He has sought to rebuild trust with the British Jewish community and distance the party from what many see as the toxic image it acquired under Corbyn.
  • These are all pressures and dangers that can be expected to grow as the Gaza conflict intensifies and its human costs mount.
