Zionist use Jewish-British citizens to advance the Israeli agenda over the British. In America, Jewish-American Zionists use their influence to advance the Israeli agenda over the American. [Jewish] Forward, January 18, 2002 "In what some see as a pattern since September 11, a leading British weekly has raised the specter of Jewish control over the media and government. The cover story of the January 14 edition of the New Statesman, a respected liberal weekly, is headlined 'A Kosher Conspiracy?' and features a gold Star of David appearing to pierce a Union Jack. The story purports to investigate whether there is a 'Zionist' plan to sway the British press to the side of Israel and to minimize Palestinian grievances. It also assesses the extent to which Jews influence British politics. 'That there is a Zionist lobby and that it is rich, potent, and effective goes largely unquestioned on the left,' writes Dennis Sewell. 'Big Jewry, like big tobacco, is seen as one of life's givens.' Journalists who dare to speak out against the 'Zionist lobby,' Mr. Sewell adds, are harassed, threatened and eventually muted. As an example, the article points to Robert Fisk, the pro-Arab correspondent of the Independent, a left-leaning British daily. According to the article, Mr. Fisk 'complains that he has been the victim of an anonymous smear campaign seeking to link him with the notoriously anti-Semitic historian David Irving.' At the center of this 'Zionist lobby,' the article alleges, is a network of individuals and organizations coordinated from the Israeli embassy in London and 'greased' by the profits made by a sinister arms trader named Shlomo Zabludowicz, an Auschwitz survivor with a Finnish passport who died in 1994. Key figures in the conspiracy, according to the authors, include Conrad Black, the owner of the conservative British publications Daily Telegraph and Spectator as well as the Jerusalem Post, and his wife, 'the enthusiastic Zionist columnist' Barbara Amiel. As for the Zionist effect on British politics, the New Statesman article reports that a recent meeting between British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Yasser Arafat was 'no more than a public relations exercise designed to placate the Arab world. It served to disguise Blair's support for the Zionist project and his role as Ariel Sharon's closest ally in Europe. Little of this has been reported in the mainstream media.' The New Statesman article is only the latest example of what some say has become a wide expression of anti-Semitism in Britain since September 11."
