UK allowing Israel to use its airbases – while RAF planes pretend to fly to Jordan, land in Israel

UK spy flights over Gaza also being covered up by ‘mainstream’ media while UK politicians met terrorist leader

At least three Israeli military aircraft involved in Israel’s genocide in Gaza have landed at a UK air base on multiple occasions, apparently to refuel on the way back from picking up US weapons for transport to Israel. The RAF Brize Norton base has hosted Israeli Re’em jets at least nine times during trips between Israel and the US with visits lasting up to three hours.

But the involvement of Brize Norton in the genocide does not end there – the RAF, or at least aircraft badged as RAF (some at Brize Norton are privately owned and effectively mercenary aircraft – is actively assisting in the genocide by flying spy flights over Gaza (whose peak intensity coincides with the worst Israeli atrocities) and likely refuelling Israeli strike aircraft. Investigative journalist Matt Kennard spoke about this involvement:

The Israeli Re’em aircraft also act as refuelling stations for Israeli strike planes, including the F-35s that run on UK-supplied parts and have been involved in thousands – reportedly more than 8,000 – of attacks on Palestinian refugees in Gaza.

But the RAF’s involvement goes beyond hosting Israeli planes and flying spy or refuelling flights over Gaza. Last Friday, a mammoth RAF A400M ‘Atlas’ cargo aircraft, falsely displaying Amman in Jordan as its destination, landed in Tel Aviv – almost certainly delivering a large quantity of military equipment:

The UK ‘mainstream’ media is obediently ignoring these events and revelations, obediently covering up what the UK government is doing to aid Israel in its Gaza genocide.

Meanwhile, as Met Police officers arrested an 83yo woman priest and others for protesting against the government’s terrorist designation of now-banned anti-genocide protest group ‘Palestine Action’, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy met with Ahmed al-Sharaa – also known as ISIS and al-Qaeda commander Abu Muhammad al-Julani – now president of the ISIS-led coalition ruling Syria after toppling the Assad government, triggering former UK ambassador Craig Murray to comment:

Julani’s ‘HTS’ al-Qaeda subsidiary is still on the UK’s list of ‘proscribed’ terrorist organisations – alongside ISIS and now Palestine Action (PA), although at the time of writing the government had not updated its official list of proscribed groups to include PA. The new Syrian regime has embarked on a campaign of torture and slaughter of ethnic and religious minorities, while cooperating with the Israeli regime despite its seizure of large areas of Syrian territory and its mass bombing of Syrian civilian areas and military infrastructure.

At the same time, the organisation founded UK PM Keir Starmer’s predecessor and Thatcherite role model Tony Blair was revealed to have been involved in the creation of US president Donald Trump’s ethnic cleansing plan to purge Gaza of its civilians and turn it into a beach resort:

The Starmer government has refused MPs requests for information on how many Israeli military planes land at RAF bases each year. Israel has slaughtered around 400,000 Palestinian civilians since October 2023, half or more of them children. The Starmer regime has said it will not accept Syrian refugees, says it is moving to prevent Palestinian refugees seeking asylum and is ‘actively blocking’ maimed Palestinian children from coming to the UK for treatment.
