British Policy Governed by Zionism, Says UK Analyst

Posted on August 3, 2016

The UK government’s unlimited support for Saudi Arabia, as the source of Daesh, shows that British foreign policy is controlled by Zionists who ultimately seek to expand the Israeli entity through war and instability, a British scholar and political analyst says.

Dr. Rodney Shakespeare made the remarks while discussing the UK’s recent contributions to the international military efforts against Daesh.

The UK Ministry of Defense said on Wednesday that two Tornado warplanes from the Royal Air Force have recently attacked one of Iraq’s former dictator Saddam Hussein’s palaces in the country’s northern city of Mosul, as part of a multinational squadron tasked with destroying the Daesh-controlled mansion.

“The sly deception, the slimy deceits of the British government are revealed by their actions in bombing Saddam’s palace,” Shakespeare told Press TV on Wednesday.

The academic went on to lay out in detail the British government’s hypocritical fight against Daesh while supporting Saudi Arabia, as the “source” of Daesh radicalism.

Britain “is doing that in particular by backing the source of Daesh or ISIL, which is Takfiri Wahhabism that is heart of evil pouring out of Saudi Arabia.”

He further explained his points by saying the London government’s policy in dealing with Daesh ultimately ensures the terror group’s existence and serves its Zionist leaders in Israel.

“British policy is governed by the Zionism and so is American policy and the object of the policy is to smash up Syria into parts, to smash up Iraq into parts,” Shakespeare argued.

“Biblical Israel extended into a large part of Syria and right across the river Euphrates in Iraq and the Zionists… remember Israel is not a state, it is an expanding entity with no borders,” the analyst said, adding that more chaos would allow the Tel Aviv regime expand.

Saudi Arabia’s ongoing war against Yemeni people which is made possible by British weaponry was another example of the UK’s double-standards in fighting terrorism, according to Shakespeare.

About 10,000 people have been killed in the military months-long aggression, according to Yemeni sources.

The kingdom is also assisting Bahrain’s ruling monarchs with a heavy-handed crackdown on a popular uprising; a move that Shakespeare said was part of a Saudi-Israeli mutual agreement to suppress democracy in the Middle East.

Iran Says UN Betrayed Yemeni children by De-listing Saudi Arabia

Iran said the United Nations (UN)’s decision to temporarily reverse the blacklisting of Saudi Arabia for killing Yemeni children amounts to a betrayal of the defenseless minors.

Gholam-Ali Khoshroo, Iran’s ambassador and permanent representative to the UN, made the remark at a UN Security Council meeting to discuss children and armed conflict on Tuesday.

Back in June, the UN blacklisted Saudi Arabia after concluding in a report that Riyadh had been responsible for 60 percent of the 785 deaths of children in the Saudi war on Yemen last year. A few days later, however, the world body announced that Saudi Arabia would be taken off the list pending a joint review with Saudi Arabia.

Khoshroo told the Security Council meeting that the about-face took place under “financial and political pressure.”

The reversal equaled the “betrayal of the rights of the most vulnerable portion of the [Yemeni] civilian population, namely children, for whose very protection the international mechanism has been designed,” he said, referring to the UN.

“Have the airstrikes in Yemen, which have so far killed hundreds of Yemeni children, led to anything other than [prompting] the growth of al-Qaeda and the Daesh?” the Iranian envoy asked.

Yemen has been under relentless military attacks by Saudi Arabia since late March 2015, with internal sources putting the death toll from the aggression at about 10,000.

Khoshroo adduced to the latest report by the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, saying attacks on Yemeni children had, over the last year, reached 1,953 instances, which reflected a six-fold increase.

After deciding to remove Saudi Arabia from the blacklist of countries that kill and maim children, Ban himself admitted that the decision had been made under “undue pressure.”

Speaking at the same Security Council meeting on Tuesday, Ban said he still had “very strong concerns about the protection of Yemeni children” despite a series of measures Saudi Arabia has purported to take to protect children in Yemen.

Riyadh reportedly outlined the measures in a 13-page confidential letter to the UN chief last week.

Ban said the Saudi measures had fallen short of safeguarding the lives of Yemeni children.
