Affordable Accommodation

As one or two people may possibly have heard by now, there are few if any lengths to which His Majesty's Government will not go in order to purge and forestall the scourge of antisemitism, as defined by Team Starmer and by the heirs of Joshua who rule the Righteous State. It is therefore to be expected that sanctions against the Righteous State would be little more than a diplomatic fiction, on a par with such rubrics as peace process and viable Palestinian state; and so it has apparently proved. The head of corporate services and HR at the British embassy in Tel Aviv is the owner of a house in an illegal settlement, built by a company whose support, promotion and incitement of violence against the Palestinian Untermenschen have been sufficiently blatant that even the indulgence of His Majesty's Government was stretched. Residents pay a monthly fee to the company: a fact which was allowed to slip past a vetting system whose rigour seems to have been on a par with the recent selection of Lord Mandelbrot the Infinitely Recurring as ambassador to the Kingdom of Trumpsterland. Even so, the house was purchased before the sanctions were imposed, and not directly from the company; so the matter will presumably be shrugged off as yet another of those inadvertent mistakes which constitute the major qualification for the more exalted reaches of Government service.
