UK Bars Israelis from Defense College
(i24News) The British government has announced that, starting next year, Israelis will no longer be admitted to the Royal College of Defense Studies (RCDS). Amir Baram, Director General of the Israel Ministry of Defense and "a proud alumnus of RCDS (2008-9)," called the move a "deeply shameful and discriminatory" decision and "a betrayal of an ally in time of war." "Israel is defending international shipping from Houthi aggression, preventing nuclear weapons from falling into the hands of an Islamist regime that chants "Death to England!," and fighting to bring home 48 hostages from Hamas captivity - and the establishment's response is to silence Israeli voices." Silencing Israeli voices at a time when the country is actively defending international security constitutes "nothing less than an act of self-sabotage of British security."
