Sacked eight years ago for secret ‘Israel’ meetings, Priti Patel is still shilling for Zionism

Former government minister and permanent sociopath Priti Patel has been on the BBC repeating standard Zionist fictions about Palestine marches.

Priti Patel: shilling for Zionism

Speaking to a sympathetic audience in the form of Laura Kuenssberg, Priti Patel’s claims of hate marches went unchallenged by the programme’s host. The former home secretary fulminated:

Look what happened on the streets of London yesterday. I mean, you know, look at the level of hatred that was demonstrated on the streets of London to Britain’s Jewish community.

You would think after two years of these apparent hate orgies riddled with antisemitism, there might be extensive footage of the bile in question. Yet, in an era where everyone walks around with a recording device in their pocket, there is a mysterious lack of evidence to support the outlandish claims of Patel and others.

As pointed out by Dilly Hussain on X, Patel’s view on the matter should carry very little weight, given her historic association with the Zionist pseudo-state:

Breaching MP rules used to get you sacked, now you can assist a genocide scot-free

Priti Patel resigned from her role as Secretary of State for International Development in 2017 after she was caught having secret meetings with Israeli officials while on holiday on the soil stolen from Palestinians. She even travelled to some of its most stolen-est land, visiting the Golan Heights robbed from Syria in 1967, and then went so far as to suggest international aid money should end up there. She had failed to inform anyone in government about what she had been up to while in the apartheid regime. That, along with the mixing of her private affairs on holiday and public duties as a minister, constituted a breach of the ministerial code.

Oh for the good old days of 2017, when you could get sacked for such comparatively minor transgressions with Zionists. These days, you can have your entire government enthusiastically participate in a genocide with them, and it’s anyone who stands against you that gets punished. The resignation didn’t stop Patel taking the standard trajectory of the British ruling class, however, as she failed upwards to become Home Secretary in 2019.

Others pointed out the contradiction between Patel’s confection about copies of the Torah being burnt on Palestine marches (again, zero evidence of this), while failing to condemn the actual burning of a Quran.

BBC hierarchy of racism on show yet again

Interestingly, this was the extent of the pushback from Kuenssberg, who made vague references to a “holy book” being torched. This follows the national broadcaster’s standard hierarchy of racism, where fictional antisemitism at Palestine marches must be tackled head-on and incessantly, but real, blatant Islamophobia can only be referred to in veiled terms. Another X user asked why Patel is the person brought on by the BBC in the first place:

Priti Patel’s support for mass murderers isn’t anything new – she previously worked as a lobbyist for the killers at British American Tobacco, who were having issues due to working with another pack of thugs in the form of the Burmese dictatorship. Fiona in Hamilton provided perhaps the most succinct description of Patel, so we’ll give her the final word:
