Israel gets zero mentions in government’s ‘report’ on foreign interference. No wonder

The government’s ‘Rycroft Review’ report on foreign interference in UK politics has been confirmed as a sham immediately it was published, after it failed to mention Israel a single time. And this is only what Skwawkbox and others predicted, since Starmer minister Steve Reed is a die-hard ‘friend of genocide’ who also didn’t mention Israel once when commissioning it in December 2025.

Israel: those who will not be named

Russia gets seven mentions. Israel – so far ahead of other countries in terms of interference in UK politics that it’s (literally) out of sight – none at all. And Reed is ‘under fire’ for – oops – ‘forgetting’ to disclose just how tight he is with the Israel lobby. Or mention it at all. Just like he ‘forgot’ the massive donations he’s accepted from the Israel lobby:

In fact, its very absence from the report is as clear a demonstration as could be of the extent of its influence. The National describes Reed’s omission as “incredible”, but in the literal sense it’s the absolute opposite: totally believable and unsurprising. Just appalling.

The scale of the farce becomes even clearer when China and Iran get a special mention – just as Israel is looking to drag the UK into its illegal war on Iran. A section titled “How serious is the problem?” of “long-term strategic foreign interference” quotes a government briefing naming those two countries as the crux of the problem:

The UK is a target of long-term strategic foreign interference and espionage from elements of the Russian, Chinese and Iranian states which, in different ways, seek to further their economic and strategic interests and cause harm to our democratic institutions”.

But not Israel. Noooo. No no no no no. Who even is Israel?’, the uninformed reader might ask.

Beep boop

So, a minister superglued to the Israel lobby – which terrifies British politicians and broadcasters alike and believes it is entitled to demand special consideration at every turn – commissions a report that conspicuously omits, completely, any mention of the biggest foreign interferer in UK (and US) politics.

“This is not the droid you’re looking for. Move along, move along.”

Nothing to see here. Obvs.

    The zionist regime’s stanglehold on so many political systems needs airing.
    The US has Trump and his pro-israel warmongering tyrants.
    The EU has Ursula von der Leyen (of “talmudic values” Europe which is supposed to be secular, not jewish religious).
    The UK has, well, who doesn’t it have. Epstein-affiliated Mandelson, Starmer (whose family live in israel), secret israeli museum meet ‘n’ greet Badenoch and Farage (https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/kemi-badenoch-nigel-farage-and-jimmy-carr-attended-secret-israeli-embassy-party-british-museum), and now ‘I support israel’ Rupert Lowe and “liberal zionist” (‘don’t worry I’m just a liberal nazi!’) Zack Polanski. Egads, I think Corbyn might be the only one who isn’t. We really need more anti-zionists involved in politics to resist these genocidal tyrants.

    25% of MPs are members of Friends of Israel.
    The Labour Cabinet & previous Tory Cabinet are complicit in the Gaza Genocide thanks to arms sales to Israel & allowing the RAF to be used as spy planes.
    Also Polya & Hil, The Lancet argue the number of Palestinians slaughtered by the Illegal Israeli Occupation Force is 680,000.
    How do these Lumpen Labour/Tories & now Reform MPs sleep at night?
    To The Hague with the whole Grotesque lot of them!

      The Lancet: 186,000
      Dr Richard Hil and Dr Gideon Polya: 680,000
      See details below:

      A July 2024 study in the Lancet found that it was “not implausible to estimate that up to 186,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza”. The new study published in local rag Arena outlines that in its estimate as of 25 April 2025, a “staggering total of 680,000 deaths is plausible”.

      Australian academics Dr Richard Hil and Dr Gideon Polya in their study Skewering History set out that the Lancet study failed to consider deaths due to imposed deprivation, and in “assuming that deaths from deprivation were four times the violent deaths” and adding this estimate to the Lancet figures, the new study suggests up to 680,000 Palestinians have likely been killed in Gaza since October 2023.

      What makes you think (and I use the verb advisedly) that the criminal war of aggression being waged on Iran by the USA and Israel – with the support of the UK – is a religious war?

          `as a white racist NUT and Zionist fwit, why don’t you leave the country and go join your quisling mates in some little corner of Nazi Germany.
          I’m sure they’ll welcome the likes of your nasty racist rants over there.
          You are no English patriot, you are a brown shirted Nazi looking to win ww2 for the Nazis by ranting racist hatred along with the WW2 Nazis whose views you share.
          You defile every soldier sailor or aiirman who gave thier lives to stop Nazis like you overrunning the world..
          So, cat pic, you haven’t the right to say anything about other people as you betray good basic decency the UNITED Kingdom showed in the second world war.
          A tiny little bunch of fascists do not speak for the vast majority of decent moral people in the UK.
          As for your stupid comments about the wars in the middle east just keep your ignorant uninformed rants to yourself I told you learnt better, though I suspect that your intelligence and literacy are not capable of anything beyond your neanderthal grunting

            Firstly how is your RANT too???????
            And if it me????
            I will just tell you I am a borne and bred White British person NOT protesting on our streets
            for Iran Religious Nut benefits in other country.

            So I will ask again why are you protesting on our U.K. streets for the religious Nut
            in Iran why do you all NOT go out their and protest your views tell me???

            Is it as I suspect you protest in the U.K. because if you tried it in Iran you would be shot on site
            and left to rot in the streets by your elected religious NUT leaders a fact!!!

            I also am sick of my taxpayer money being wasted on you protester that should
            be used for us British people to use to help us.

            You need to sop ranting on about lost wars also get you head from up your back side and see what the protesters are up too intimidating and trying to Brainwashing us White British people that will not work and if I am a racist has you say so be it better them being a terrorist at a protest in the U.K. NOW.

    The US oligarch minority want to use diverse working class US troops (the majority) to risk their lives for the oligarchs oil profits in Iran & for a Greater Israel to steal Arab land, gas & oil & some Govts in the West want a cut.
    We’ve had over 100 peaceful marches for Palestine in my city to try to stop the Genocide in Gaza which is our Democratic Right and that’s over 200,000 people with
    nil marchers prosecuted, nil verbal abuse to the police and nil damage to property.
    Ignore lumpen RJ on the side of the rich, it’s probably Steve whatever a agent provacateur who used to bore us on this site and RJ needs to educate himself on Palestine and in humanity.

      So skip the Humanity CRAP right now it will not wash with me O.K. and also get your cash out to pay for the policing of U.K. streets form the religious nut followers of Iran Religious Nut leaders.

      You could also pay for the boat to take them back home to protest –ALSO MY name is Roy Jenkins A white British person that doesn’t protest on our streets for any religious nut at all NO matter what religious they support O.K.
