A long complicated post, but Cameron has resigned as a donor board member of the JNF in response to Arabist pressure.

From news article:
Despite his professions of solidarity with Israel before a Jewish audience in the prelude to last year's May election (well he would say that, wouldn't he, at a juncture when the keys to Number Ten seemed to be unexpectedly slipping beyond his grasp?) Britain's slimy prime minister David Cameron has accelerated his inexorable descent into the ranks of the Israel bashers which began almost a year ago, in the immediate wake of the Mavi Marmara affair (just look at this lot, some company, eh?).

Keeping company with him - and them - is the University and College Union, whose leftist hijackers have proved their malevolent intent by distancing themselves from that part of the EUMC Working Definition on Antisemitism that relates to Israel, about which I posted last week: http://daphneanson.blogspot.com/2011...dents-and.html

I've referred to Cameron in previous posts - this one conveys the flavour: http://daphneanson.blogspot.com/2010...ron-talks.html

On these latest measures, which only serve to further demonise and delegitimise Israel, she tells it best (with a masterly consideration of the legality of Israel thrown in), so I don't have to:

"Where Is The Outcry When Arabs Build Illegally On JNF-Owned Land?"
http://daphneanson.blogspot.com/2011...abs-build.html
From news article:
That's a question asked by Michelle Huberman, a UK-based Jerusalem Post blogger, in an interesting piece about the Jewish National Fund (and other things).

"How many people," she asks, "know that the JNF lays claim to 73,974 dunams in southern Syria ...? The earliest purchase was made in the 1880s when it was under Ottoman rule. Surely they should have been demanding compensation from the Syrian government? Maybe if this had come to public attention, it could have been negotiated for the Palestinian refugees that the Syrian government have allowed to fester and more recently mobilised to storm Israel's borders.The same in Lebanon: 4,000 dunams....Where is the outcry when Arabs build illegally on JNF-owned land? There is an extremely tangled web of Jewish ownership in Arab areas. There are hundreds of thousands of Arab squatters in 'Arab east Jerusalem' who live on land still owned by the Jewish National Fund........ In total 145,976 dunams of Jewish land is said to have come under Jordanian control.... Another 16,684.421 dunams of Jewish land in the rural West Bank - including the Gush Etzion settlements, land between Nablus, Jenin and Tulkarm, and in Bethlehem and Hebron - were seized by the Jordanians after 1948...."

Facing Cameron sacked RAF fliers

RAF graduates listened in silence yesterday as David Cameron made an impassioned speech about the nation's security without realising eight officers in front of him were about to be made redundant.

The Prime Minister spoke in front of 83 officer cadets and their families at a passing out parade at RAP Cranwell. He told them the day was about honour, duty and pride and that the Air Force would become a "formidable and world-class force".

He assured the officers that they would "have the resources you need" and promised "I'll never compromise on the nation's security."

He ended by saying: "You are doing your duty by us and we will do our duty by you.". However, his words were heard by the recruits who made it through training knowing they werein line to be fired.

The eight officers are part, of 170 RAF trainee pilots who are to be removed from flying training. They were selected for redundancy after interviews and aptitude tests.

Last year,. Mr Cameron was confronted by a Harrier pilot, part of the fleet that has been cut, at the Forces headquarters in Northwood.

Speaking after the parade yesterday, Air Vice Marshal Mark Green, commander of 22 Group said: "We all understood that cuts were necessary." He added that for those on parade "their future is very bright".
.
A spokesman for the MOD said: "The Strategic Defence and Security Review made clear that there will be reductions in the numbers of personnel and aircraft across 'the three Services, including a reduction of some 5,000 RAF personnel by 2015."

The Prime Minister spoke after presenting the. Sword of Honour. He said that in Afghanistan, air power had "never been more important". and without it there could be no operation there. THEN THIS

Foreigners take sacked RAF pilots' places

TRAINEE RAF pilots sacked underdefence cuts will be replaced on flying courses by officers from foreign air forces. The Ministry of Defence is "actively seeking" foreign personnel to pay, for "surplus" training places left by British pilots dismissed earlier this year, a minister has admitted.

About 170 trainee RAP pilots were told in February that they were being made
redundant to save money. Some were only days away from becoming fully qualified to fly fighters, helicopters and transport aircraft.

A defence minister has now admitted that because they were dismissed at such short notice, the staff and equipment for their training are still in service and 'must
be funded to help meet the costs, foreign pilots will be trained. Student pilots from countries including Algeria and Kenya are understood to be taking up the vacant training places at RAF bases.

The cuts, part of the Strategic Defence and Security Review, are said to have badly damaged morale in the RAF, which is actively engaged in Afghanistan and Libya.
Lord Astor of Hever, a defence minister, was challenged in the House of Lords about the impact of sacking the RAF trainees. He said: "It will take some time to remove the resulting additional spare capacity from the training programme and we are actively seeking to offer any surplus training slots to foreign students provided at full cost to their home govements, he said.

As well as immediate financial gain, the minister said that training foreign pilots would have long-term benefits to Britain. He said: "Supporting the training needs of our partners and allies provides important defence and diplomacy benefits and is also a critical factor in securing contracts for defence export sales, which are worth billions of pounds and thousands of jobs to the UK defence industry."

Andrew Brookes of the Air League, advocates higher spending on air power, said that the decision underlined the folly of sacking RAF trainees. These cuts have not been thought through properly," he said.

"We have wasted the £300million that went into training future RAFpersonnel. Now it is only other nations that are keeping our training system going by paying to take their places."

In all, the RAF will lose 5,000 posts over the next three years, reducing its headcount by almost 15 per cent to 32,000. Around 1,000 posts will go this year, with hundreds of similar compulsory redundantcies expected in September. Senior commanders say cuts are undermining the RAF. Last month, Air Chief Marshal Sir Simon Bryant, the RAF's second in command, told MPs that the air force is faces running short of both pilots and ground crew Morale among airmen is "fragile" and their fighting spirit is threatened by being overworked, he said. Servicemen's sense that the nation valued their efforts was being undermined by the cuts, he added .
