UK BANNING ISRAELI ALLIES
_Harboring Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood_

UK'S HYPOCRITICAL STANCE: BANNING ISRAELI ALLIES WHILE HARBORING THE
MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD

In a shocking display of anti-Israel bias, the United Kingdom has
banned Israelis from enrolling in the prestigious Royal College of
Defence Studies (RCDS) starting next year, marking the first such
exclusion since the academy's founding nearly a century ago.

The UK Ministry of Defense cited Israel's ongoing war against Hamas in
Gaza—sparked by the October 7, 2023, terrorist attack that killed
over 1,200 Israelis and abducted 251—as the reason, claiming the
operations violate international humanitarian law and calling for an
immediate ceasefire and increased aid to Gaza. Israel's Defense
Ministry Director General Amir Baram condemned the move as "a
profoundly dishonorable act of disloyalty to an ally at war,"
especially given Israel's role in defending global shipping,
countering nuclear threats, and fighting to free 48 hostages.

This decision comes amid strained UK-Israel ties, including sanctions
on Israeli ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir, and Prime
Minister Keir Starmer's push to recognize a Palestinian state at the
UN unless Israel ends the war. Recent meetings between Starmer and
Israeli President Isaac Herzog highlighted deep tensions, with Starmer
criticizing a strike on Hamas leaders in Qatar.

Yet, in a glaring hypocrisy, the UK allows the Muslim
Brotherhood—the ideological parent of Hamas—to operate its global
caliphate headquarters from London with impunity for decades. Founded
in Egypt in 1928, the Brotherhood has used London as an administrative
base since the 1960s, particularly after crackdowns in the Middle
East.

By the 1990s, it had established a robust network of affiliated
organizations, including media outlets like IkhwaanPress.com above a
kebab shop in Cricklewood, serving as a propaganda hub. Despite a 2014
government review under David Cameron, labeling the group a "possible
indicator of extremism" for supporting Hamas suicide bombings and
anti-Semitic rhetoric, the UK has not proscribed it as a terrorist
organization, unlike allies Saudi Arabia and the UAE. A brief 2014
relocation to Austria was an evasion tactic during the inquiry, but
operations quickly returned to London. Groups like the Muslim
Association of Britain (MAB), tied to the Brotherhood and Hamas, and
the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) have influenced UK Muslim
representation, charities, and mosques for over 30 years.

This double standard is exacerbated by Muslim officials in the UK
government, numbering over 20 in Parliament and key roles as of 2025,
including 19 Labour MPs post-2024 election. While no current officials
are confirmed Brotherhood or Hamas members—given proscription
laws—several show sympathies. Confirmed sympathizers include past
figures like MCB's Daud Abdullah, who signed a 2009 Istanbul
declaration endorsing jihad against Israel and Hamas attacks on
foreign (including British) troops. MAB's Anas Altikriti, son of a
Brotherhood leader, co-founded groups with Hamas commander Mohammed
Sawalha and has defended the organization. Current MPs like Naz Shah
(Bradford West) and Shabana Mahmood (Justice Secretary) have faced
accusations of pro-Palestinian extremism, with Shah apologizing for
anti-Israel social media posts and Mahmood linked to MCB events
supporting Hamas narratives. Others, such as Zarah Sultana (Coventry
South), openly praise Palestinian resistance and criticize Israel
harshly, aligning with Brotherhood ideology. The 2015 review noted
Brotherhood influence on national Muslim bodies engaging government,
raising concerns about indirect sway.

The UK's ban on Israeli defense students while tolerating the
Brotherhood's London hub for over 60 years undermines alliances and
emboldens extremism. As an ally, Israel deserves better than this
discriminatory policy, especially when Hamas—explicitly the
Brotherhood's Palestinian branch—threatens global security.
