The British abandonment of Israel continues apace. “UK bars all Israelis from prestigious defense college,” i24News, September 14, 2025:
The British government has announced that, starting next year, Israelis will no longer be admitted to the Royal College of Defense Studies (RCDS), marking the first exclusion of Israelis since the institution was founded in 1927. Previously, restrictions applied only to officers of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), but the new policy will apply to all Israeli applicants, civilian or military.
The decision comes amid the ongoing war in Gaza, according to reporting by The Telegraph, and represents a notable shift in British-Israeli defense cooperation….
Can the British military really do without close relations with Israel’s military? Which country, do you think, is more advanced in drone technology, in anti-missile systems, in the application of AI on the battlefield? Britain already employs Watchkeeper UAV, based on Israel’s Hermes 450 drone, Other key systems include the Sky Sabre missile defense system, which draws on technology from Israel’s Iron Dome, and Spike NLOS (Exactor) missile systems.
Close relations between British and Israeli military officers, forged early on, work to the advantage of both parties. They share experiences and strategies, they discuss existing weapons and what weapons are being developed, or that they wish would be developed.
This crude and cruel banishment by the British government of Israelis who want to study at the Royal Military College will do more damage to the British military than to that of Israel.
Right now, Israel is fighting.a seven-front war for its survival. But it is not only fighting for itself. Muslim terror groups are not just intent on destroying Israel, but want to destroy, through demography, terrorism, and combat (qital), the entire world of Infidels. When Israel bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities, in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan, it was setting back by several years Iran’s program to build a half-dozen nuclear weapons. Those weapons would not only threaten Israel, but carried on the ballistic missiles Iran has also been building, could reach Western Europe and North America. It was Israel, similarly, that removed the threat of a nuclear-armed Iraq led by that monster Saddam Hussein, when the IDF destroyed the Osirak reactor in 1981. And Israel did the same with Assad’s nuclear project, in 2007 destroying the nuclear reactor being built at Al-Kibar, out in the Syrian desert. Instead of gratitude to the Jewish state, much of the West has calumniated and ostracized the Jewish state.
A spokesperson for the British Ministry of Defense defended the decision, emphasizing that the college welcomes participants from many nations, provided they respect international humanitarian law. The spokesperson criticized Israel’s ongoing military operations in Gaza, calling instead for a diplomatic resolution that includes a ceasefire, the release of hostages, and expanded humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza.
It is precisely that offer of a ceasefire, the release of hostages, and even more humanitarian aid than the Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation already has delivered — some 120 million meals since May to people in Gaza — that Hamas has rejected. Hamas insists that it be allowed both to keep its weapons and to remain in control of the Strip.
Who will lose more from this unseemly decision by the British government to prevent Israelis from attending the Royal College of Defense Studies? You know the answer to that, even if Keir Starmer and David Lammy do not.
A really stupid decision.
But Islams will get Precancel Treatment there since they no longer have any really good P.M. like Churchill and Thatcher anymore just some little Pipsqueak who still walks around with their Head in the Clouds
If not in a darker canal …
considering the british military are woke , being banned is a good idea . they wont learn anything at the establishment anyway . the brits would be more of a fighting force if they took a page out of the idf manual .
Just as the recognition of a Pali. state England has become the appeaser hoping the croc will eat it last.
And yet anyone who reads the history of “communism” knows the useful idiots usually get it in the neck first.
The question to ask is what can the UK offer in defense strategies when they have Muslims raping their women and girls and they can’t effectively defend them.
Brits are heading downhill on the fast tract. Does Israel need the Royal College of Defense Studies anymore when the UK is no longer a true western nation? Maybe the Brits need to relearn the fundamentals of defending their country against the barbarians at their own gates Go figure!!
Israel should also cease intelligence sharing with the UK. See how the Starmer government likes that.
Shades of Nazi Germany when Jews were kicked out of many professions in the 1930s.
Next step…..Auschwitz, Treblinka, Bergen Belson.
The Brits must get rid of Starmer ASAP. Or we could bring them here and let the Left pull their hair out.
I believe it’s worse today than it was in the 1930’s. Back then there was certainly open hostility toward Jews, but it tended to be localized, mostly to certain places in Europe but not others. Jews still had some friends, even in places where “genteel” forms of antisemitism were commonplace, and potential countries of refuge in case things turned bad. But where are those today, when even Holland, Canada, and Australia have turned hostile toward Israeli, and the Jews by extension are coming under attack?,
Your contention that it’s worse today than in was in the ’30s is nonsense. Firstly, Jews didn’t have a country of their own then. Secondly, anti-Semitic policies were orchestrated from the top by government decrees. And thirdly, but not lastly, Europeans then had more anti-Semitic sentiments as expressed by social institutions and media.
The sooner Britain vomits out Starmer and his fellow Gay Nazi Labourites, the better. Otherwise you will kiss Britain goodbye as it will be a Caliphate, whether they like it or not.
What would Shakespeare say?
“Shylock: I am a Jew! Hath not a Jew eyes? hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is?”
I cannot imagine what an Israeli would expect to learn in a debased country’s debased military academy.
One should worry, like the I.V. League schools in the US, they would leave dumber than they came.
I would have thought the Israeli military would have been the one forbidding study at such a suspect institution.
Indeed, what would Israeli military officers learn that they don’t already know based on real world experience? Certainly they could be exposed to many teachings that aren’t really true. The fact is, Israel has become the teacher, the student the master, across a range of military disciplines. Indeed, after every major operation we see foreign militaries, the US certainly, coming to Israel for a briefing and “lessons learned”.
The Brits might have a good library. They used to be good at that.
It’s the old Holier than Thou shit, the Mission Forgot syndrome. They must be itching to refuse Americans because they don’t like Trump.
This gesture is laughable posturing but it has more serious effects for Britain. The next classes of Officer graduates will have been taught about humanitarian ideals an environmental concerns.
