“UK EXTREMISM ADVISER HAS BEEN FUNDED BY ISRAEL LOBBY: John #Woodcock aka Lord [#Walney] the government’s man urging MPs to stop engaging with pro-Palestine groups, has accepted Israel lobby funding amid the Gaza genocide.”
by John McEvoy in Declassified UK @Declassified_UK
“In 2021, he was tasked with producing a report ‘into the extreme fringes on both ends of the political spectrum’ in Britain, and with making recommendations to the prime minister.
Woodcock has now completed his report, and is urging Britain’s political leaders to take a ‘zero-tolerance approach’ to pro-Palestine and climate protesters.
[..]
“Yet Woodcock can hardly be considered independent. He has previously worked with the #IsraelLobby and has even accepted funding from it amid the ongoing genocide in Gaza, Declassified has found.
This raises serious questions about Woodcock’s suitability to advise the government on issues relating to Palestine, or on extremism altogether.“
