      i mean, it’s not that uncontrovesial to be wary of British nationals enlisting in and fighting for a foreign power’s army

      Pretty sure we arrest people that enlist in foreign militaries when they come back.

      We should monitor people potentially involved in war crimes.

      Controversial opinion I know.

      Aren’t most of these people dual UK/Israel nationals that have been called up under Israel’s national service obligations?

      Can we stop trying to cover every bit of criticism or scrutiny by saying that it’s “antisemitism”.

      A genocide is being committed according to the UN, so suggesting we monitor these troops is hardly controversial.

      If British citizens were fighting for ISIS, they would be arrested upon returning, and rightly so.

      But participating in the most documented genocide in history, is apparently fine according to the media and hundreds of politicians, who feel that the mass slaughter of women and children is nothing to be concerned with.

      What does concern the media and politicians- is when those who participated in genocide ARE investigated for war crimes.

      I hope that Zack is true to his word.

      I thought it’s illegal to enlist into foreign army? If it’s somehow legal when you have dual citizenship they you should be forced to choose which one you keep.

      I mean I despise Zack Polanski but he’s not exactly pushing the boat out here.

      >The Board of Deputies of British Jews condemned the initiative at the time, calling it “another attempt to demonize Israelis and promote an atmosphere of intimidation against British Jews.”

      Of course it’s the Board of Deputies. Their Israel interest lobbying is so blatant it’s infuriating.

      Don’t you know, any criticism or attempts to stop Israeli war crimes is antisemitic.
