A Challenge from Israel

Israel's ambassador suggests that Britain has become an anti-Israeli hotbed

By Martin Bright

A front page story in the Telegraph today reports on the views of Ron Prosor, Israel’s ambassador to London. Prosor expresses his dismay at the academic boycott voted for by the University and College Union last month and the general coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict in Britain. It’s worth a look , wherever you stand on the issue.

Meanwhile, take a look at some of the comments on my recent piece on Israel if you ever wondered if there was reason to be concerned about attitudes to Israel on the British left.
