A brave attempt and an eye-opener. I congratulate Peter Oborne for daring to expose the lobby's behind the scene bullying of journalists and use of money to corrupt the conscience of our politicians. During the Gaza war, I couldn't comprehend why British politicians are refusing to even issue an appeal to Israel to stop the bombardment, despite all the images of dead children and terrified civilian population flashed across TV. Now I know why.

The lobby is out again, looking at the responses at this forum. Same old arguments, Hamas-bashing and attempts to portray Israel as victim without answering any of the specific allegations levelled against Israel. And if nothing works, shout loudly that those questioning Israel's human rights records, its subjugation of Palestinians and its utter disregard of UN resolutions are all anti-Semites. And if those raising these concerns happen to come from Jewish community then brand them self-hating Jews!
