Israel's new UK ambassador will expose delusions of Britain's Jewish leaders | Middle East Eye - July 10, 2020 |
With Corbyn the bogeyman gone, Tzipi Hotovely will finally force Britain's liberal Jews to confront truths about Israel they long ago buried
After years of successfully drawing attention away from Israel's intensifying crimes against the Palestinian people by citing a supposedly growing "antisemitism crisis" in Britain's Labour Party, Jewish community leaders in the UK are exasperated to find themselves unexpectedly on the defensive.
Last month, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pulled the rug out from under leading British Jewish organisations by appointing Tzipi Hotovely as Israel's next ambassador to the UK. She is expected to take up her position in the summer.
Recently made Israel's first settlements minister, Hotovely does not appear to have a diplomatic bone in her body. She is a rising star in Netanyahu's Likud Party - and at the heart of the Israeli far-right's ascendancy over the past decade.
She is openly Islamophobic, deriving the history of the Palestinian people. She supports hard-line racial purity groups, such as Lehava, that try to stop relationships between Jews and non-Jews. And she flaunts a religious Jewish supremacism that claims title to all of historic Palestine.
In a 2015 speech on her appointment as deputy foreign minister, she rejected a two-state solution, saying: "This land is ours. All of it is ours. We did not come here to apologise for that."
