Ex-foreign minister calls out fellow Tories for supporting Israel | LBC opinion

- Former Conservative Foreign Office minister Sir Alan Duncan is under Sir Alan Duncan is under investigation by his party after criticising his Tory colleagues for their support of Israel. He believes arms sales to Israel should stop 'immediately', as it is 'morally unacceptable' to support 'what is becoming a total catastrophe in Gaza'.
After seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen - including three Brits - were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza, Sir Alan Duncan questioned how it was possible for 'extremists in our own parliamentary politics' to remain in power while supporting Israel.
He said 'the time has come' for them to be 'flushed out'. On Tom Tugendhat, he added: 'How can you have a security minister who does not believe in international law? He should be sacked.'
John Percy, the vice-chair of the Conservative Friends of Israel, a group that Sir Alan Duncan also criticised, said: "Alan Duncan is a ridiculous character and accusing a Jewish parliamentarian of working for Israel at a time of record levels of antisemitism not only puts that individual in danger but also risks fuelling Jew hate here in the UK. It is a reckless, ignorant and dangerous comment.

I’m stunned. This is one of very few times a British politician has given an honest and accurate summary of the situation.
...ex-British politician. A sitting politician, from whatever party, would be facing immediate censure, demotion, demands for retractions, apologies, or dismissal.
the former 'Red Team' leader was once again ahead of the curve.
Apologise to Jeremy corbyn you hypocrites
Exactly!!! haha. The way they collectively (media + career politicians) vilified him was atrocious!
I have never voted Tory and have no respect for what they have done to my country but I have the greatest respect for what Sir Alan Duncan has said. Straight talking and truthful.
100% agreed. I'm very anti-Tory, but the truth is, if *even* Tories are saying this, it adds even more credibility to the argument that Israel has gone way too far. Much harder for Israel to dismiss habitual allies (although, they'll try). Thank you Sir Alan Duncan.
@richard. But still sadly a Tory! And he will still be a Tory tomorrow!
Labour friends of Israel are just as corrupt.
Lindsey Hoyle who ruined the SNP debate on Gaza ceasefire has skin in the game.
His Dad founded Labour friends of Israel
@@Andrew-ti8hi I agree, he is Tory through and through, but his statement must have shaken up an already chaotic and fractured Tory Party. Let’s hope a few more of the disaffected Tories have the nerve to speak out. The more they fight amongst themselves the better.
Now labour leadership using similar language on israeli support.
End Israels control of uk politics
they opened our borders
UK has ongoing 400 million pounds military contracts every year with Israel
The first 2 words would have been the perfect sentence
America's too! We are tired of it.
And the same USA
Israel should have no influence in UK politics
but they have massive influence...search for the al jazeera investigative documentary where the israeli embassy staff boast they can bring down any MP
Or US politics, but then they're allowed to splash hundreds of millions of dollars into congress, senate and national elections and not have to register as foreign lobbies... it's Orwellian.
Exactly. We're turning into the US. They're supposed to be doing the bidding of the voters, not what the party decides.
And vice versa.
Shalom
@@jacobcohen9205
No, that does not follow
I could not believe my ears, finally someone telling the truth. Thank you Sir.
Literally 😂
So if Israel has a right to defend itself why don't Palestinian have that exact same right IE to defend themselves against all the atrocities for 75 years? Till this day we refer to Israel as an occupation force so why is there any liberation movement labelled as a terrorist?
Because Palestinians are not Jews
@@SyfulIslam-bp9vq Palestinian is Jew. They are a direct descendant from the original Jew. Why do you think Zionist banned any DNA test in Israel? None of the Israelis now is related to that land.
There is an addendum to the Geneva convention that states that occupied peoples are allowed to resist occupation, including using armed resistance. Yet any Palestinian who takes up arms against the occupying Israeli army is instantly called a terrorist, and criminalised.
@@Pequinito don't forget south Africa. Until 2004 I think they still labelled Nelson Mandela as a terrorist.
@@Pequinito if we apply the same excuse Israel and US gave regarding this war(actually it's not war) then everybody in this world must be a terrorist. We are at some point in our nation, fighting for our independence too. Even a Brit fought against the Roman back then.
Conservative Friends of Israel *AND* Labour Friends of Israel both wield unfathomable influence on UK politics.
They aren't Tories and they aren't Labour-they are lobbying groups with direct ties to Israeli government and IDF.
Labour Friends of Israel director David Mencer has just been promoted to Israeli government spokesperson,
CFI and LFI aren't in the UK to help British people!

Sir Alan was always on the right side on this conflict. Huge respect to him for being so brutally honest.
You mean he supported Hamas invading Israel, murdering hundreds and taking over 200 more hostage?
Never thought I’d see a Conservative MP hold the same views as myself. My full respect sir.
It's a rarity to hear a politician align their views with the sentiments of the majority of Brits.
Why don’t you go to Palestine and help them, instead of just being on the internet looking for plaudits.

How refreshing to see finally a politician speaking freely without fear of Zionist lobby.
Get all Israeli lobbying out of Parliment. Labour friends of Israel should definitely go!
Israel occupies the UK; keep away from UK politics
Remember, lobbying from Israel is NOT a national security risk! What if from any other country?
@@SZB-br8xuremember it is.. 🤦♀️
Well said mate, why do so many of our politicians put Israel above everything else.
They've been paid and scared of upsetting USA

Ching ching cash
Because it is THEIR creation...
Because America does and we are Americas poodle.
Thank you, Sir Alan Duncan. Do not forget the monster I listened to today, Tory Peer Lord Robathan, Get these extremists all out. Condemn Hamas for Oct 7th all you want, but condemn the far-right extremist Israeli government also. I'm sick and tired of listening to these extremists inside of our British politics.
May you be bless no no offence if you Don't beleave in bless
We had two sides of British politics revealed to us today. One who is human and the other who is zionist.

@mauro He's just confirming which tory politicians will be getting early morning calls after the Labour landslide!
He will be marginalised by the political establishment in the morning
Much respect for Alan Duncan. He is 100% correct.
75 years of occupation. Palestinians are in title to defend them self.
we should give them military aid
What about our own occupation? Everyone is talking about Palestine (which is fine) but what about White People being occupied and replaced in their own countries?
Just goes to show how strong the Israeli lobby is in the UK (and US).
You have the 11th Century Roman Catholics to blame for this mess.
It's ridiculous, how democratic can a country be with politicians in the pocket of lobby groups
It's all about the money 😅
Be careful now. Someone will call you anti semitic
Shhh...
Thank you Sir Alan. Your views shed a lot of light on why the government is responding to the situation in Gaza in the way it is.
Corbyn was right.
💯💯💯
Well done Sir for opening up the can of worms at the hierarchy of the Tory Party .
Finally!!!! Someone with the correct understanding of the situation.... See! It's not that complicated. BRAVO SIR 👏👏👏

You are a hero Sir Alan , what you said is , millions of people thinking to say exactly what you said.
Thanks
This guy should be the prime minister
Land grabbing is the original sin.
WOMP WOMP. Almost every country in this world was created by invading and taking another countries land by wars. Keep crying.
The illegal occupation of Palestine land since 1948
Land Survey of 1945:
State land 71.6% (=Non private)
Lebanese and Syrian landlords 16.5%.
Local Jews 8.6%.
Local Arab 3.3%.
State Land transferred from the Ottomans to GB then to Israel
@@contact594Who gave you those figures and why would you expect anyone to accept what British Mandated Palestine would say about unoccupied land.
@@userxyz64 in 1945 Britain owned that land, they were meticulous in their surveys, the majority Palestinians were farmers on land they didn't own, it's literally indisputable.
Nick had to hit the Gaviscon hard after that one 😂
Absolute hero Sir Duncan! Outspoken and full of knowledge!
This man said what most all of us want to hear from UK politicians but no doubt this will be the end of his political career.
That man spoke the truth
Thank you ❤
Nick Ferrari wake up, LBC wake up, Western Media wake up!
Fatty Ferrari is friends with IS-NOT-REAL - he’s still dreaming mate 💤
They're part of the problem. They know what's going on but they're all cronies to each other
The initials of his name is "NF"...say no more!
MSM is awake.. MSM is complicit..
Bizarre world we are living in when Alan Duncan is speaking all of morally decent and coherent sense that the Labour front bench are refusing to.
On a related note, the extremism laws announced by Gove should absolutely include support violent settler colonialism, siege, apartheid, mass attack of civilians, attack of aid workers and more.
I am sure the Tory party will now kick him out instead of the extremists he is bravely calling out. Because thats what happens to anyone with a shred of decency.
as everybody can judge,
the Palestinians are not the problem.....
Yes. They never existed so how can they be ?
Read Poale Zionism by H. Fineman, 1918 he mentions Palestinian several times@@bluestar6879
@@bluestar6879Here we go again, would you like me to prove to you that Palestine existed way before the British Mandate?
I won't go that far. Why WHY must human beings feel compelled to either mindlessly simp for one team or mindlessly simp for the other? I have lived in 3 Muslim countries. My father was a very high level Swedish diplomat dealing in ME affairs. Islamic extremism is no joke and not a fantasy conjured up by provincial bigots. It is a highly potent, highly toxic, deeply dangerous influence in about 85 countries worldwide.
@charlie And even if they were...we would refuse to believe it!
The Israeli army says 9,000 terrorists have been killed since the Gaza war began. Defense officials and soldiers, however, tell Haaretz that these are often civilians whose only crime was to cross an invisible line drawn by the IDF. Haaretz
That's israels bad hasbara! The lies they tell are outrageous.
haaretz is the Israeli version of the Socialist Workers Party Daily.
Extremely whacky, fake news.
@sonia What do the Israeli army know anyway?
That’s still more criteria than what the Palestinians had on October 7. People at rave are fair game to these pro Palestinians apparently. Maybe lift your side first especially if your friends with Hamas.
@@chatham43 lots, but they lie about what they do because they show absolutely no restraint.
The IDF was a conglomeration of various Zionist terrorist groups post 1948 and it hasn't changed much since.
WOW. Can we make this guy our next PM.
wow, an honest individual😂 British politics is so bad
Alan duncan has got this conflict completely right, surprising to me
All he's really doing is stating international law impartially. And Conservatives originally contributed to development of those principles.
I hope he continues to use his status as a veteran mp and former cabinet minister to share this message across as many platforms as possible. People like him have a duty and responsibility to call out the extremists within his party that are intent on destroying our country, our democratic values and our standing in the world.
Thank you Sir Alan, I wish there were more Conservatives like you. Much respect.

It was reported she has close family members currently serving in the IDF too, turns me sick.

Thankyou Sir Alan for saying what everyone is thinking 👍🏽
I'm so shocked to see anyone let alone a Tory defend Palestine and it's occupation (albeit it somewhat selective), but it's whole heartedly welcome, still so strange to see someone stating so many facts and truths, which is sad in itself.
A breath of fresh air from Sir Alan Duncan.
Thank you Sir Alan for your honesty.
Never thought I'd agree so wholeheartedly with Alan Duncan
Absolutely spot on Sir , thank you for your bravery in speaking the truth
Man you provide some decent fresh truthful words. The British will see the truth . Change is happening
most of the british people are behind palestinians. its just the gov who are bought and paid for by the israelis.

This is the first time someone said it as it is!
NO fake propaganda only the facts!

Simple dishonesty and/or ignorance from the Tory and you, more like. Go do one, Hamas apologists.
Thank you Sir Alan Duncan. Your truthful words bring light and hope in a sea of darkness. You ,Sir, are an admirable man.
Don’t know if you watched the Al Jazeera, undercover investigation, called “The Lobby” it’s in 5 parts. An Israeli spy was caught on camera offering Joan Ryan, a Labour MP, £1 million pounds to bring down Ian Ducken. I think it’s about the 3rd episode. Real eye opener!
Excellent summation Alan Duncan, thank you for your honesty, finally these atrocities cannot be ignored by politicians and media who allow their own interests and greed cause inhumane and depraved suffering to their fellow human beings
This guy has been campaigning for Palestinians and going against the CFI for years. Im actually shocked that there's a decent Tory that stands on their principles even when its detrimental to their own career progression.
Well at least he can hold his head up high and be proud.His Children should be proud to have a father like Sir Duncan .Bravo sir.
He's not a politican, but another Conservative I have time for is Peter Oborne.
it's no longer detrimental
What will it take for governments to say ENOUGH is ENOUGH! Our collective humanity cries out for the innocent.
He said out loud what should have been said long ago. Superbly nailed it
He mentioned many laws being broken by Israewl and then the interviewer asked : does Israewl has the right to defend itself?
What a joke !
Just shows what’s important to MSM/Legacy - their agenda for Israel has a right to defend itself narrative hasn’t changed at the moment.
