Labor leader Ed Miliband’s recent declaration of support for Zionism follows a familiar pattern among the British ruling elite.

Moshe Ya’alon is expected to become “defense” minister of Israel on Monday, but is beloved by racists like Pamela Geller.

Israeli ambassadors have dispatched their “explainers” to campuses across the UK to combat activism such as Israeli Apartheid Week, but with decidedly mixed results.

On Wednesday evening Edinburgh University’s Students For Justice in Palestine (SJP) manged to attend and disrupt a lecture by Daniel Taub, the Israeli ambassador to the UK. Taub was hosted by the university’s student politics society, and protected by what one activist told EI was the largest police presence anyone could remember.
