Cameron, the Unifier

Posted 28 Jul 2010 by Walaa Idris

After his Washington visit last week, Cameron did not come home to sleep off his jetlag, but stopped over to unpack and repack for his ‘shake up trip’ East. Listening to his pro- Palestine, supportive of Turkey entering the EU speech – I could not help but wonder what was in DC’s [District of Columbia] drinking water!?

With yesterday’s speech Cameron has achieved his second historical moment. Calling Gaza a prison camp, there is no doubt that will upset Israel and her Western allies, but unfortunately it is the truth. Having a go at France and Germany for blocking Turkey’s entry into the EU…., well, that too is a fact. Sometimes regardless of what we might believe and feel the unavoidable truth will go against the grain and this is one of these times.

For years the West rallied around Israel excused and supported her every move and act. However, throughout all these years Israel has failed to see that Palestine is the weak opponent that could ‘easily’ be turned around from the inside, but with kindness not with a show of power or retaliatory aggression. And, that Palestine is the most natural ally to Israel and the West in the region, in addition to that, peace in Palestine will totally handicap all ‘Islam-fronted’ terrorist activities, and cut off their underground funding and support.

Here is where Cameron is brilliant; pointing the figure at one state [Israel] he will gain the approval of many states [all the Arabian Peninsula and most of the Middle and the Far East] with Turkey in the mix I can see our Dave becoming a true unifier of East and West [watch out Tony Blair etc]. But it is not going to be easy, David Cameron will have a hell of a time from some of his closest and dearest allies in the party, in the country and the world over.

Nevertheless, he is on the right track to go down the history books for more than the Coalition!

I agree Walaa! Gaza is a prison camp – but it is Hamas that put its people there.

David Cameron’s master-stroke will be if peace comes about in that area which will turn the people away from Hamas – who it should be remembered have still to renounce violence and acknowledge Israel’s right to exist.
