Britain helped corral the Jews of Europe into the gas chambers with its White Paper and placed an arms embargo on us not when we were strong, but when we were at our most desperate and weak. Britain promised the Jews support for statehood - right up until they shut the doors to that refuge at our most desperate moment. And Britain was no better to the other side. It promised the Palestinian Arabs their rights would be upheld, and then brutally crushed them when they rebelled. Keep your weapons, Britain. You’re no help to Palestinians and no longer a reliable ally to Israelis. Your own citizens feel crushed under the rising cost of living, your health system has worse outcomes than ours even though you’re a wealthier country, and y’all are tearing apart over immigration. Go fix all that. You’re not qualified to handle the Middle East. You never were. https://bird.makeup/@cptallenhistory/1830653667826925616
