British ambassador wines and dines settlers

Britain is one of Israel's most implacable foes in the western world with a long history of betrayal and antisemitic dealings with the Jews of this land.

Since its disastrous handling of the League of Nations'-authorized mandate to oversee the creation of a Jewish state in the liberated Ottoman Empire province of Palestine, the island once known as "Great" Britain has championed every cause favoring the Arabs at the expense of the Jews.

And the Jews most vilified in the British press are the settlers - those with the courage to buck everyone but God and make their homes in their biblical heartland which the world insists on calling the "West Bank."

It came as something of a surprise, therefore, when British Ambassador to Israel Tom Phillips invited leaders of these Zionist communities to dine with him last week.

According to The Jerusalem Post, the move threw chairman of the Yesha Council (the Council of Jewish Communities of Judea, Samaria and Gaza) Dani Dayan.

"As far as we know, it is the first time an ambassador of such an important country, or any country, has issued an invitation to a delegation from the council," Dayan was quoted as saying.

"We discussed the situation in the Middle East and the settlements and life in the settlements. The atmosphere was good, and the discussion was sincere," he added.

But British officials were quick to put to rest any hopes that the meeting might indicate some small change in their country's approach towards the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Like every other nation on the planet, England is resolutely committed to carving an Arab state called Palestine out of the land God gave exclusively to the Jews.
