AND MORE ABOUT PERFIDIOUS ALBION ( BRITAIN):
(IsraelNN.com) British spokesman Martin Day said in an interview in Dubai with Al-Arabiya television last week that the British government is actively funding political activity in Israel and "taking practical steps towards freezing settlement activities." According to Day, the British government finances “projects aimed at halting settlement activities. One of these projects seeks to build new Palestinian neighborhoods in east Jerusalem and save Palestinian houses from demolition. And we also finance organizations that monitor settlement activities."
He further stated that "products from the settlements do not enjoy preferential custom duties that we offer to products coming from Israel. In light of this, we can say that we are taking effective and practical steps against settlement activities." The Foreign Ministry's senior deputy director general, Rafi Barak, spoke with British Ambassador Tom Phillips two days ago and voiced Israel's displeasure.
