Jonathan Cook alleges Israeli interference in UK politics
Original: “Worried about Russian meddling in UK politics? Wait till you see what Israel is up to” by Jonathan Cook on Substack @ p
Writer Jonathan Cook has published a piece arguing that concern over Russian meddling in UK politics overlooks Israeli influence operations. The article claims that Andy Burnham's government is subject to Israeli lobbying and pressure, and it is circulating in pro-Palestinian and UK politics discussion groups. Readers are sharing it as a counterpoint to mainstream coverage of foreign interference, particularly around Labour and Middle East policy.
Why now: Ongoing debate over foreign influence in UK politics and Labour's Middle East policy has made claims about Israeli lobbying newly resonant.
