I am loathed to criticise British Jews for supporting a cause that they passionately believe in.

What I do criticise is a corrupt political system that allows a disproportionate and rather sinister influence of Labour and Conservative Friends of Israel on Britain's Foreign Policy. 

The programme was right to point out that many ordinary British Jews do not share the extreme and uncritical Zionism of those in leadership positions in British Jewry. 

It is in Britain's national interest that there is peace in the Middle East and this is not going to be achieved without meaningful pressure and sanctions against the Jewish State. "Constructive Engagement" and "friendship" have been proved time and time again not to work. Israeli governments of all political complexions have regarded this policy as a green light to steal more and more Palestinian land and to use wholly disproportionate  violence against Arab civilians. 

What is equally depressing is the lack of a meaningful national debate. A majority of our political leaders are self declared Zionists, The BBC is cowed into submission and much of our media is controlled by a Christian Zionist, Rupert Murdoch. In this fog of disinformation, almost the only beacons of light are the Guardian, Channel Four and Al Jazeera. 

As someone who cares about justice for the Palestinians, who do I vote for at the next General Election ? 

Do I live in a meaningful democracy when there is no effective choice on an issue is important as this ?
