Israel's fight is our fight

Hamas is the enemy of civilisation

Hamas intended to provoke a massive reaction by Israel. It intended to kill as many peope as possible in the most savage ways imaginable, but it always wants as many deaths of Gazans as possible and will work to ensure that's the case by preventing people from leaving northern Gaza, thereby enlisting them as human shields.

The game is to leverage public opinion in their favour so that Israel bows to international pressure and pulls back from its mission to deny Hamas a base of operations. Thus, though not everyone who was at demonstrations yesterday was a Hamas supporter, they are Hamas's useful idiots.

Only reluctantly do I conclude that Israel must fight Hamas inside Gaza. It's no small thing to drive a million people out of their homes. But in the final analysis, Gaza will always be a beachhead for Islamist operations, and Gazan residents and Israelis will always suffer the consequences.

There are only two basic options here. Either return to the status quo, in which Hamas is able to launch indiscriminate rocket attacks on Israel, forcing Israel to maintain a blockade that keeps Gaza in poverty, or to simply drain the sea Hamas swims in.

Those who would have Israel abandon its military action are pushing for the status quo in which Hamas is able to continue its racist terror campaign, and for Gaza to remain a dysfunctional and institutionally corrupt enclave - sustained by bad faith actors with the sole motive of destabilising the region and demonising Israel in the eyes of the world.

Sadly, a military operation in Gaza will have civilian casualties. It's inevitable consequences of a war that Hamas started. It is also a consequence of Hamas using Gazans a human shield. The aim is to blackmail Israel into leniency so Hamas can continue to operate. Israel is obliged to do all it can to prevent civilian casualties, and does so within the limitation of the situation. Hamas does not. But Israel, like any nation state, must put the lives and property of its own citizens first. No other country would be asked to compromise on that.

Some British nationalists argue that this is not our fight. But they are wrong. Islamism is the enemy. It is the enemy wherever we find it; whether it's in Gaza, Iran, Pakistan, London or Oldham. We must carve it out wherever we find it. There is no accomodation to be reached with this murderous ideology. Moreover, we stand for the sovereignty of the nation state, and a nation's right to self-defence.

As much as anything, proudly declaring our support for Israel is a message to foreigners in our lands that these are the values we will fight for, home and abroad. Let them come out on the streets in protest. Let's see who they are - and mark them well. And let us vote accordingly so that these people are promptly removed and do not threaten us.

We have already allowed too many to make our lands their home. We already face a fight to reclaim our cities and our capital. This weekend underscores once and for all that multiculturalism has failed and must be reversed. If our political establishment will not do as instructed, we must consider them part of the problem and an aid to the enemy. We only have a short time to reclaim our country through peaceful means.

The Father of BREXIT Dies

by Stuart Gulleford • 11 September 2024

Jeffrey Titford 24.10.1933 – 09.09.2024 Jeffrey Titford, the former Leader of the UK Independence Party and two term MEP for the East of England, has passed away, after suffering from cancer. His family announced his death on 10 th September, aged 90. Jeffrey was one of the fathers of Brexit, coming to the fore in national and international politics at a time when leaving the EU was considered unthinkable and long before it became official Conservative Party policy. A visionary and a democrat, who did not believe that EU membership provided a viable future for Britain as an independent, self-governing nation, Jeffrey Titford was elected to the European Parliament at the 1999 European Parliamentary Elections, aged 63. He was one of three UK Independence Party MEPs elected, which sent shock waves through the political world. He became Leader of the Party in 2000 and served for three years bringing stability and respectability to its campaigns. During this period, he made seventy speeches a year, travelling all over the country. He also served as interim Leader from September to November 2010, following the resignation of Lord Pearson of Rannoch, while the election of a new Leader was held. During his time in the European Parliament, he made dozens of speeches in Plenary session severely criticising the EU and particularly the level of fraud in its finances. He also extensively lobbied the European Commission and the Government in Westminster on behalf of the British fishing and farming industries. He led several delegations of fishermen to see UK Agriculture Ministers in Westminster and also took a delegation to meet the European Commissioner for Fishing in Brussels. He wrote monthly columns for the East Anglian Daily Times, the Hertfordshire Mercury and Farmers Guide and made many appearances on regional television. He also made a guest appearance on Breakfast with Frost. Jeffrey Titford’s political career began in 1970, when he became a Councillor on the Clacton Urban District Council. He ended his association with the Conservative Party in 1992, in protest over Prime Minister John Major’s signing of the Maastricht Treaty. He joined Sir James Goldsmith’s Referendum Party and, in a sign of things to come, stood in the General Election of 1997 in Harwich when he was the Party’s most successful candidate, securing almost 10 per cent of the vote and, in the process, unseating the sitting Member of Parliament. Following the death of Sir James Goldsmith, Jeffrey was invited to join the UK Independence Party (UKIP), where he established a branch in Clacton and a regional committee, which led to his successful campaign in the European Elections in 1999. He paved the way for Nigel Farage’s subsequent success in Clacton at the 2024 General Election. He was re-elected to the European Parliament in 2004, with a greatly increased share of the vote and UKIP also returned a second MEP. He retired from European Politics in 2009 and was made an Honorary Patron of the Party in 2006 and became President for Life in 2011. Life before politics Following National Service in the RAF, Jeffrey joined the family’s funeral directing business in 1956, where he had a 35 year career, during which he served for 12 years on the National Association of Funeral Director’s (NAFD) National Executive and rose to National President in 1975-76. He was instrumental in developing an official code of practice for the funeral profession, at the request of the Office of Fair Trading. He also successfully campaigned for funeral directors to have the right to sell a package funeral and carried out the first review of the practice manual for funeral directing, which led to the creation of a formal qualification for funeral directors, recognised by the NAFD. He sold the company in February 1989 and retired from the profession. An enthusiastic Rotarian, Jeffrey served as President of the Clacton and later Frinton Rotary Clubs. He also belonged to the Clacton Operatic and Clacton Dramatic Societies, taking lead roles in both companies. However, his most successful hobby was rally driving. He was a leading light in the Clacton Motor Club in the early seventies for whom he was the regional rally champion for six consecutive years. Jeffrey Titford was a devoted family man and is survived by his wife Margaret, one son, three daughters, eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
