Why Do British Royals Refuse To Visit Israel?
Business Insider ^ | 11/28/2014 | Elliot Abrams

Posted on 11/28/2014 1:53:46 PM PST by Jan_Sobieski

The bizarre story of the refusal of British royals to visit Israel, while they are constantly in the Arab world, continues.

I wrote about this phenomenon here, last February, when Prince Charles visited Saudi Arabia. As I noted then, the Queen has never set foot in Israel and Prince Charles set foot there briefly only once, for the Rabin funeral.

By contrast, in just the month of November 2014 we found Prince Andrew and Prince Harry at what the Foreign Office must have considered a diplomatic necessity: the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Prince Andrew also visited Saudi Arabia (at the request of the Foreign Office, it was announced)...

Menachem Begin’s family (parents, brothers, etc.) were waiting to immigrate to British Palestine, but the route was closed by the White Paper. Instead, they were massacred by the nazis (all on one day).

British policy then was to appease the Arabs.

British policy today doesn’t want Jews in Jerusalem or the West Bank (again, to appease the Arabs).

Nothing has changed in that regard; but there is no reason for Jews to pay heed.

He would not be welcome:

and

Prince Charles urges world to follow Islamic “spiritual principles” to save the environment.

Prince Charles is looking for a religion that says the environment can be saved with private jets and luxurious yachts

Whoever invented the phrase “royal pain in the ass” must have been thinking of Prince Charles.

Queen Elizabeth’s dullard son says that man’s destruction of the environment violates the tenets of all religions – especially Islam.

The Daily Mail UK reports the moron’s musings:

Charles, who is a practising Christian, spoke in depth about his own study of the Qu’ran which, he said, tells its followers that there is ‘no separation between Man and Nature’ and says we must always live within Nature’s mean and limits.

‘From what I know of the Qu’ran, again and again it describes the natural world as the handiwork of a unitary benevolent power,’ he said.

“...the UK govt made it illegal for any British soldier to fight for the Legion...”

Did this include Lieutenant-General Sir John Glubb?

>>The Royal Family is German. Does that explain it?<<

You sure about that? I think the royal family is Jewish.

Oil. Same as the reason most western governments tend to kowtow to the Arabs at least some of the time.

Because although only a minuscule portion of the free world population is aware of it, it might would produce discussion and question asking how the entire territory defined in the Balfour Declaration intended to be the home of Jews and muslims equally, ended up more like 7:1 in the koranimals' favor, just about the time GB realized the value of the recently re-evaluated mideast oil, both for the infant automotive industry, and for the newer British "Oil navy" replacing the less efficient coal.

Follow the money is right. The Arabs always seem to lavish the royals with big donations to their charities and personal presents of the best jewelry, gold objects, Thoroughbred horses, etc. The royals are bought and they stay bought.

During the war, Lawrence fought alongside Arab irregular troops under the command of Emir Faisal, a son of Sherif Hussein of Mecca, in extended guerrilla operations against the armed forces of the Ottoman Empire.

In the early nineteen hundreds fashionable and exotic Arabs fueled British fantasies of greatness... In short, British elites were played for fools...they like that feeling - they want the trappings of empire back...

Arab's have 'royalty' loosely based on English royalty. Pomp, circumstances and bullshit...

Israel's an unashamed democracy... they're real - with limited delusions of grandeur. Now you tell me where would pompous and vain phonies feel more 'comfortable'? Israel or some 'palace' in the desert?

Yes, it did. Many MP’s called for him to be arrested and imprisoned on return to Britain. He returned to the UK in the late 50’s, and the British govt decided by then to let sleeping dogs lie and allowed him to quietly go into retirement.

Prescott Bush did deals with the Nazis during WW2, as did American and Western businesses. The problem with high horses is that they are harder to get down from.

‘The British Empire

England once boasted that their empire was so vast that the “sun never set on it.” They had colonized the empty land of Israel, known at that time as Palestine, the former land of Israel. During WWI, the British naval guns were running short of gunpowder, and they needed a solution to the problem very badly, and very quickly. Great Britian used to rule the waves. The saying, “The sun never sets on the British Empire was a testament that the world’s largest empire covered almost all 24 time zones...not anymore.

Sir Winston Churchill, then the First Lord of the Admiralty, contacted a Jewish chemist named Chaim Weizmann, and asked if he could take a shot at finding a solution. The question they asked Chiam was this - “can you produce 30,000 tons of synthetic acetone so we can manufacture cordite gunpowder?” Turns out he could, and became a national hero as he helped England to win the war. When asked what he wanted for his services, he said that he wanted a “national homeland for my people.” So the Balfour Declaration was issued in November of 1917, to create what would become the newly reconstituted land of Israel...but there was a bump in the road.

The British also wanted to curry favor with the Arabs living in the region, and Jewish immigration was greatly reduced. As Hitler started cranking up his holocaust hell-holes in 1938, Jews begged the British for permission to escape to Palestine, but were refused. When Israel finally became a nation again in 1948, Great Britian had opposed her at every turn because Britian had forgotten that God had promised the Land of Israel to the Jews forever. The end result was that Great Britian would soon fall from it’s standing, and never again from that day to this be a Super Power on the world stage. Britian forgot that God had promised Abraham that He would “them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” England soon found out exactly what it meant to be cursed by God. *source - “The Fall and Rise of Israel”, Hull.’

Thank god you didn’t write that rubbish.
