“Examination of the ‘Entryist’ Tactics of the Hamas Front Organisations and the Extreme Left in the UK Gaza Protests in London”

SNIPPET: “Introduction
The public policy agendas of revolutionary socialist and Islamist organisations in the UK have increasingly converged on the question of Israeli action in Gaza. This convergence has become especially pronounced following the termination of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas on 19 December 2008.
In London, a national protest took place on 3 January 2009 under the heading ‘National Gaza Massacre Demonstration’. It included the slogans ‘Hands off Gaza. Stop the Bombings. Free Palestine’ called by the Palestine Solidarity Organisation; Stop the War Coalition (STWC); British Muslim Initiative; CND and many other organisations. The speakers included Ken Livingstone, former Mayor of London.[1]
This article highlights the involvement of two key controlling revolutionary organisations involved in these London protests through their ‘front’[2] organisations or politicians (the list includes STWC; British Muslim Initiative and Ken Livingstone as a political personality through his advisers), through an examination of the key objectives and political methods of these modern revolutionary socialist and Islamist UK actors. Specifically, attention will be given to analyzing how the organisations manipulate and infiltrate state agencies and mobilise public opinion. By doing so they influence public policy on the questions of terrorist non-state actors in the Middle East, such as Hamas, the Islamic Resistance Movement), which has been declared a terrorist organisation by the European Union and the United States of America, and their positions of opposition to legitimate nation-states like Israel.
Protests such as this one, which mobilise the Islamic and peace constituencies in the UK, put the British Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary under pressure regarding their policy towards Gaza. The primary aim is to shift UK policy away from supporting Israel’s sovereign right to defend itself against Hamas attacks, whilst a secondary aim is to legitimise Hamas. Furthermore, these constituencies seek to rally the forces opposed to the two-state solution and build an anti-Zionist (i.e., not recognising the right of the state of Israel to exist) position amongst Islamic, peace and left wing groups in the UK. A distinction should be made between these acts and the legitimate democratic right of any member of the UK’s general public to protest, criticise and oppose state policy.
