Special Report: From Ulster with love, Israel’s unlikely ally

Who are the DUP? Following the 2017 General Election, we look at the pro-Israel party who may help prop up the next government


Ian Paisley, Jr.

Unbeknownst to most until last week’s parliamentary vote on Palestine, the Westminster MPs of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) are a staunchly pro-Israel lot.
While parliamentarians voted overwhelmingly in favour of the motion to recognise Palestine alongside Israel, 12 voted against the motion, and of this dozen, five were from the late Ian Paisley’s DUP.
To London’s Jews, Northern Ireland can seem off the political radar, but to those with an interest, the voting preferences of MPs Nigel Dodds, William McCrea, Ian Paisley (the late founder’s son), Jim Shannon and David Simpson should have come as no surprise.
Indeed, the founding of the DUP Friends of Israel group at Stormont in June was one of the veteran unionist’s last political acts before his death in September. In terms of his long-standing support for the Jewish state, however, it was merely the latest.

Earlier this summer, the DUP pressed police authorities on the legality of anti-Israel protests, while two years earlier, it launched fierce criticism at the Co-operative Group for banning Israeli products from the West Bank.
Why the support? Politically, culturally and geographically, Northern Ireland is some distance from Israel, so why such stringent views from Ulster’s Protestant community?
In part, it is because there is equally strong support for the Palestinians from the unionists’ arch-enemy. Irish Republicans have long associated themselves with the Palestinian cause, and there has been co-operation and trading between the PLO and the IRA dating back to the 1970s, including training and arms procurement.
That association is very much alive today, with Palestinian flags flown in Republican areas of Northern Ireland and murals proclaiming common cause with Palestine. This summer, Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams even called for the Israeli ambassador to be expelled from Ireland, while the Palestinian representative to Ireland spoke at a Republican hunger strike commemoration.

But that’s not the whole story. Steven Jaffe, co-chair of the Northern Ireland Friends of Israel, thinks it stems in part from faith. “Many DUP MPs come from a Bible-believing Protestant background,” he says. “They have a very sincere and positive attitude to the Biblical roots of the Jewish people’s connection to the land.”
As well as sharing a book, unionists in Northern Ireland say they also share common experiences with Israel, given that both have waged a war against terrorism. So in political terms, they can relate to Israel’s position, explains Jaffe. “They identify with Israel fighting for its survival, and they feel the international media is unfairly hostile to Israel just as they believe it was hostile to their own cause,” he says.
David McIlveen, the North Antrim Assembly Member who launched the DUP Friends of Israel group, says this translates into a willingness to defend the Jewish state when it is attacked. “Whenever we feel there is an unfair portrayal of Israel being presented in social or mainstream media, we do our part to try and argue against it,” he says.
Dr. William McCrea, a Free Presbyterian minister and one of the five MPs to vote against the motion, agrees with the others. “There’s a friendship there,” he says. “We know what it’s like to be under attack for years on end. We fought terrorism here, from the republicans, so we know what it’s like to face these things.”
Lessons from the past were very much the theme of Paisley Junior’s address to the Commons – his first since his father passed away.
“The conclusion of the negotiations [in Northern Ireland] was not set in stone in advance of the negotiations or during,” the MP for North Antrim said. “The participants in the process must be allowed to find their own conclusions… to find their own way; they cannot be told, lectured or dictated to on what is best.”
Paisley urged parliament “not to assume that it has the right to tell people how to sort out their peace processes,” before adding that a lesson from Northern Ireland was “not to pour fuel on burning flames”.
He added: “To recognise the state of Palestine when significant and strong elements in the Palestinian negotiating process do not even recognise Israel and would not allow that state to exist, would be to make an already difficult situation worse.”
And he should know.

NWN: What a piece of work was the late Ian Paisley . The hypocrite who shouted NEVER, NEVER,NEVER !  Then did a complete about turn and  even getting extremely friendly with IRA leader Martin 'Machine gun' McGuinness.
New book alleges Anne Frank betrayed to Nazis by Jewish collaborator
 
 Ynet|Published:  05.26.18 , 19:33 

Dutch-Jewish collaborator Ans van Dijk said to have given up location of Anne Frank, her family to Nazi authorities in occupied Netherlands after being arrested by Nazi intelligence herself; while claim is not new, book's author provides testimony from his father, who knew the collaborator; Anne Frank House: van Dijk was taken into account as potential traitor, but no evidence was found in support of theory.
Anne Frank and her family were captured by Nazis after being betrayed by a Jewish woman, alleged a new book attempting to uncover the mystery of the Frank family being found in a secret annex of an Amsterdam building in 1944.

The Guardian newspaper reported Friday that according to the book—titled "The Backyard of the Secret Annex"—Dutch-Jewish collaborator Ans van Dijk reported their hiding place.
Van Dijk was executed after the Second World War for her collusion with the Nazis, after confessing to giving up 145 Jews, including her own brother and his family.

While it had been previously claimed she was also guilty of turning over the Frank family, the Anne Frank House museum in Amsterdam and its research center failed to reach any conclusion on the matter, despite studies and a police investigation into her actions.

In his new book, however, author Gerard Kremer, 70, claimed he has solved the mystery. Kremer's father was a member of the anti-Nazi Dutch underground, and was an acquaintance of van Dijk in Amsterdam.
The author's father, who died in 1978, was said to have been a caretaker in an office building in the Dutch capital, two floors of which were taken over by the German authorities and the Dutch Nazi organization—the NSB—during the Nazi occupation of The Netherlands.
Kremer's father recounted van Dijk's arrest by the Nazi intelligence service on the first day of Easter in 1943. After her arrest, she made frequent visits to the building, in costume, and used telephones in the appropriated offices.
The book further outlined that Kremer overheard talk in the Nazi offices in early August 1944 regarding the region where Frank and her family were hiding, and that van Dijk took part in those conversations.

Anne and her family members were arrested August 4, while van Dijk left Amsterdam for The Hague.
A spokeswoman for Anne Frank House told The Guardian that the museum contacted the book's author, but he could provide no evidence proving van Dijk's culpability.
"We consider Gerard Kremer's book as a tribute to his parents," she said, "based on what he remembers and has heard. In 2016, the Anne Frank House carried out research into the arrest of the Frank family and the other four people in hiding in the secret annex."
"Ans van Dijk," she continued, "was included as a potential traitor in this study. We have not been able to find evidence for this theory, nor for other betrayal theories."
After the war and van Dijk's move to The Hague, she was arrested at a friend's house on June 20, 1945. She was later charged with 23 counts of treason and brought before a special tribunal in Amsterdam, where she confessed to all counts and was sentenced to death.

Her subsequent attempts to appeal the verdict and receive a royal pardon, with the claim she was merely acting out of self preservation, failed and she was executed by firing squad in January, 1948. The night before her execution she was baptized and joined the Roman Catholic Church.
Simone van Hoof, a spokesman for Lantaarn, the book's publisher, said, "We can't claim that this is 100 percent the answer but we really do think it is a part of the puzzle that may be able to complete the story."

'Political correctness' - or rather it's true definition of 'cultural marxism' seems to now be being rejected by students at seats of learning. The paradigm is being shifted ?

Army Veteran Jailed For Stirring Up Racial Hatred

Jeremy Bedford-Turner

A far-right Army veteran has been jailed for stirring up racial hatred after the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) was pressured to reconsider not bringing charges against him.
Jeremy Bedford-Turner, 48, called for his "soldiers" to liberate England from "Jewish control" in a speech outside Downing Street and blamed Jews for issues ranging from both World Wars to Jack the Ripper.
The CPS declined to prosecute him after an initial complaint but reconsidered the decision after the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) brought a legal challenge at the High Court.
Judge David Tomlinson jailed Bedford-Turner for a year for the "poisonous" and "sinister" speech after a jury convicted him following two hours of deliberation.
The 15-minute speech was made at a rally against Jewish neighbourhood watch group Shomrim in Whitehall, central London, on 4 July 2015.
Bedford-Turner, who served for 12 years in the Army speaking Pashtu and Arabic, told the crowd:
"Let's free England from Jewish control. Let's liberate this land.
"Listen, soldiers, listen to me. It's time to liberate our country."
Under cross-examination during his two-day trial, Bedford-Turner admitted wanting all Jews including children to leave the UK.
Prosecutor Louis Mably QC said the defendant was "absolutely obsessed" with Jewish people and that he "despised" them.
The CAA took the step of bringing a judicial review after prosecutors declined to charge Bedford-Turner.
Bedford-Turner, of no fixed address, was convicted of one count of stirring up racial hatred.

Judge says retired soldier should stand trial for attempted murder of vulnerable man

Accused: Dennis Hutchings 2 2
Accused: Dennis Hutchings
A senior judge has rejected an application to have a case against a former soldier accused of a Troubles-related shooting dismissed.
On Thursday, Mr Justice Colton said that while he was "uneasy" about a prosecution being taken over 40 years after the incident, former soldier Dennis Hutchings should stand trial for the attempted murder of a vulnerable man in 1974.
John Patrick Cunningham was shot in the back as he ran away from an army patrol near Benburb in Co Armagh. Mr Hutchings and 'Soldier B', who has since died, both fired their guns at the fleeing 27-year old, and it cannot be established who discharged the fatal bullet.
Mr Hutchings - who is now 76, in ill health and who did not attend today's hearing - applied to stay the proceedings against him on three grounds; non-availability of evidence, delay in the case and a breach of a promise that he would not be prosecuted for the incident.
A total of five shots were fired by Hutchings and Soldier B from two rifles. It is the Crown's case that by firing three of these shots, Hutchings - who at the time was a Squadron Quarter Master Corporal - intended to kill or cause grievous bodily harm to Mr Cunningham.
From Cornwall, Mr Hutchings has denied charges of attempted murder, and causing grievous bodily harm with intent. The pensioner has made the case it was never his intention to kill or injury Mr Cunningham, but rather he was firing warning shots to get him to stop.
Other soldiers who were present at the scene provided statements in the aftermath of the 1974 killing, saying that whilst they heard shots they did not actually see Hutchings discharge his rifle.
Belfast Crown Court heard a lack of other evidence raised by the defence includes the "absence of the original investigation file", a failure to establish a property crime scene, inconsistencies about who seized the rifles from the scene, and the absence of evidence explaining "how, when and by whom" Mr Cunningham's remains were taken to the mortuary for a post mortem.
Regarding the delay in bringing the case to court, Mr Justice Colton said the prosecution were seeking to rely on the statements of other soldiers who are now deceased, and that "no enquiries can be made of their memory of these events."
Telling the court "I admit I an uneasy about a prosecution over 40 years after the event", the Judge said he was nonetheless satisfied a fair trial would be possible.
Mr Justice Colton also mentioned the issue of a breach of promise, and that Hutchings was told in 1974 and again in 1975 he would not be prosecuted.
During today's judgement, the court heard that in September 2011, the circumstances surrounding Mr Cunningham's death were examined by the HET. Following correspondence between the victim's family and the Attorney General, a review into the case resulted in the Public Prosecution Service's conclusion that the test for prosecution had been met.
Refusing the application to stay the proceedings, Mr Justice Colton spoke of the fundamental issue of a fair trial and said he was satisfied this is what Hutchings would get.
Hutching has not yet been arraigned - where the charges will be put to him and he will enter pleas of either 'guilty' or 'not guilty.
The case will be mentioned again at the end of June.

BREAKING NEWS: Trump tells France's Macron that the U.S. will pull out of the Obama-era nuclear bargain with Iran that he's called 'insane' and 'the worst deal ever'

  • Trump is threatening to reimpose sanctions on Iran on the deal's May 12 deadline
  • Will make an announcement today at the White House on what he will do
  • Reportedly informed France's Emmanuel Macron in a phone call this morning that he will pull the U.S. out
  • A senior British diplomat told DailyMail.com the U.K. is 'deeply pessimistic' ahead of public Trump's announcement today 
  • Trump is expected to say he'll pull the U.S. out of the agreement 
  • Has been blasting the deal and former secretary of state John Kerry, who helped to negotiate the agreement, in tweets this week
  • External sanctions on companies that do business with Iran would hurt Europe  
President Donald Trump informed France's Emmanuel Macron in a phone call this morning that he will pull the U.S. out the nuclear deal it signed onto three years ago after intense negotiations with Tehran. 
The New York Times reports that a person briefed on the conversation said Trump plans to reinstate all of the sanctions the U.S. waived in conjunction with the nuclear deal. Trump also plans to impose additional sanctions on Tehran, the Times' source said. 
Macron's office told Reuters that the Times' report was incorrect. However, European officials told the wire service that they do expect Trump to announce today that he's exiting the accord. U.S. officials told AP and AFP the same thing.
Trump's anticipated action had U.S. allies on edge. A senior British diplomat told DailyMail.com the U.K. is 'deeply pessimistic' ahead of public Trump's announcement today.

European leaders whose countries are party to the deal have been begging Trump to remain in the agreement. 
It could fall apart without U.S. participation while the follow-on accord he demanded is worked out, they've said. European officials have also warned Trump that Tehran could set off a nuclear arms race in the Middle East if it restarts its uranium enrichment program.
Iran's Hassan Rouhani was vowing to stick by the deal that provided massive sanctions relief on Monday, so long as Europe guarantees that his country's interests will be protected. It was unclear in the lead-up to Trump's decision, though, if that would realistically be the case.
Rouhani said the U.S. will have 'historic remorse' for its decision while insisting that 'getting rid of America’s mischievous presence will be fine for Iran.'
'If we can get what we want from a deal without America, then Iran will continue to remain committed to the deal,' Rouhani said according to the Iran Daily. 'What Iran wants is our interests to be guaranteed by non-American signatories.' 
Trump says he will be announcing his decision on the Iran nuclear deal this afternoon at the White House in remarks that will be delivered straight to camera at 2 pm.
It will come as no surprise globally if Trump says he's pulling the U.S. out of the 2015 agreement he inherited from the previous administration. The big unknown is what Trump will say he wants to happen next. 
Trump's legislative director, Marc Short, told DailyMail.com on Tuesday morning that the president 'wants to see Iran end its nuclear program but also become a nation that is not funding terrorism, not attacking Israel not looking to continue to attack allies that we have. 
'I think he's looking for an agreement that brings Iran into the international community as opposed to being a rogue nation state that funds terrorism,' Short said during a press scrum on the driveway leading into the West Wing.
Trump is anticipated to allow the oil sanctions that legally come up for discussion every 120 days under the deal to be reimposed on Tehran. The sanctions cut Iran's oil exports in half in 2012, Foreign Policy reports, and crippled the Islamic Republic's economy.
European companies will have to choose, if the sanctions are slapped back on, whether they want to do business with the U.S. or the taboo government, putting them in an undesirable position. 
John Glaser, director of foreign policy studies at the right-leaning Cato Institute, warned Tuesday that if the U.S. imposes external sanctions successfully, European companies will pull out of investment projects in Iran, removing the incentives that Rouhani would need to mollify hardliners in his country who want Iran to restart its nuclear program.
'With lots of political will this deal could remain in place without the United States, but its going to be very, very difficult for the participants to manage,' Glaser said.
Iran will feel 'unburdened' if the U.S. leaves the pact, he said, and is likely to install new centrifuges to spin uranium and limit access to inspectors. 
'This could really unravel into something with grave consequences,' he cautioned.  'All my fingers and toes are crossed, because this is a good deal that should continue to be implemented.'
U.K. foreign minister Boris Johnson worried that Trump could take military action against Tehran on top of the expected sanctions renewal. He also warned that collapse of the deal could set off a nuclear arms race in the Middle East with Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the U.A.E. wanting weapons, as well.
'It's already a very, very dangerous state at the moment, we don't want to go down that road. There doesn't seem to me at the moment to be a viable military solution,' Johnson told Fox & Friends.
Johnson was in the U.S. making last-ditch pleas for the U.S. to stay in the deal to Trump's national security adviser, John Bolton, the U.S. secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, Vice President Mike Pence and the president's daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner, both of whom are senior White House officials. 
 
NWN:  And we got taken in with Trumps cliches like "Draining the swamp....".  This is following Israels lead 100% .  Shameful indeed.

George Galloway interviews Martin Webster for RT television
