UK Home Secretary Braverman is Sacked & PM Cameron Returns: How Peace Stands a Chance

1) A Sleeping Giant Awakens

Last Saturday 11th November 2023 witnessed unprecedented global protest against Netanyahu’s war on Gaza. These appeared to be the largest anti-war protests since the Iraq war.

Protestors demanded an immediate ceasefire, an issue the UK House of Commons symbolically debated down this evening.

The outcome of that debate is not relevant to any decision on the issue that may be made by Downing Street, which remains under intense pressure from the public to end our support for the war in Gaza.

Below is a sample of all the countries that witnessed large ceasefire protests last Saturday.

But the size and breadth of these global demonstrations only seemed to fuel certain agitators exploiting populist-right sentiment in order to push for yet more protest bans.

Such calls though failed to move the London Metropolitan police.

A pro-Palestinian march due to take place on Armistice Day would only be banned as a ‘last resort’, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner said. Sir Mark Rowley vowed officers would do all they could to protect remembrance activities and Jewish communities. While he said police could not ban static protests under UK law, they can request the power to stop a march if a threat of serious disorder emerges. But he said the "very high" threshold had not yet been reached. Sir Mark added that use of the power was "incredibly rare" and there must be no other way for police to manage the event.”

2) Braverman Sacked As Her Trap Backfires

In the light of her failure to ban calls for an armistice on Armistice Day, Home Secretary Suella Braverman incited counter-protestors to head to London ostensibly to ‘protect’ the Cenotaph, which Palestinian protestors were going nowhere near. As Radical Media explained last week, this was in fact a trap designed to embarrass pro-Palestinian protestors through forcing confrontation with self-designated ‘patriots’.

Radical Media reports 8th November 2023:

But pro-Palestinian protestors didn’t fall for it. The trap backfired. Once Braverman’s ill intentions were revealed via various independent media platforms, even Piers Morgan began calling for her resignation.

On the day itself, London’s Metropolitan Police reported that the pro-Palestinian protests began and proceeded with “no incidents”.

London’s Met Police did however report on trouble at the Cenotaph, caused by the crowd encouraged to turn up by Braverman and her ilk.

The backfiring of this trap and the sharp turn of public opinion against Braverman inevitably culminated in UK PM Rishi Sunak hastily sacking his own Home Secretary.

And to the surprise of most, into Cabinet walked former UK PM David Cameron.

3) World Leaders Demand Action

The sacking of Braverman and the elevation of former PM Cameron must be seen in light of the global situation amid escalating tensions with world leaders voicing alarm at Israel’s actions.

Muslim-majority nations had gathered for a summit under the auspices of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman (MBS).

This summit is significant. In a rare display of unity on the issue of Palestine recently warring states Saudi Arabia and Iran stood side by side at the gathering. Leaders such as Turkey’s Erdogan arrived fresh from rallying huge crowds at home while declaring publicly and openly that Hamas is not a terrorist group. The scale of the outcry has become embarrassing for a Britain that has to date uncritically stood by Netanyahu’s war.

Even France’s PM Macron chose Armistice Day itself to break ranks and demand Israel stop the bombing.

And Elon Musk too seems to have received the message.

Finally, just today PM Trudeau waded in to demand a ceasefire.

4) Cameron The Kingsman

Sunak’s UK Cabinet reshuffle makes sense in the context of severe tension with foreign nations over the plight of Palestinians in Gaza. The less experienced James Cleverly was moved from his foreign policy portfolio to Braverman’s position of Home Secretary so that former UK PM David Cameron could take the Foreign Secretary brief. In this way Cameron - someone with more statesman like experience in foreign affairs - could begin the process of soothing relations with other countries.

But Cameron was not a Member of Parliament, so how was this possible? The reason is because King Charles himself decreed it.

The reason Mr Cameron can return to Cabinet despite no longer serving as an elected MP is that King Charles III has just handed him the ‘dignity of a Barony of the United Kingdom for life’, a hastily-awarded life peerage that entitles him to enter the House of Lords and therefore take up the role.

This is permitted because, under Britain’s unwritten constitution, it does not expressly say that a person must be an MP to become a minister. However, the ministerial code does stipulate that a secretary of state must be a member of the House of Commons or the Lords in order to qualify for the position.”

The personal and direct intervention of the King at this delicate moment in Netanyahu’s war on Gaza sends a strong signal. David Cameron is not on the hard right of his party and - despite Libya - has a reputation for not being a hawk. His premiership is remembered instead for perhaps being too soft, in particular on China.

By directly facilitating the ousting of Braverman and elevating Cameron, King Charles is sending a clear message. It seems that he would prefer for the conflict in Gaza to be diplomatically scaled down. This is how peace in Gaza may stand a chance after all. David Cameron is the Kingsman in this regard.

But reappointing former Prime Ministers sets unwelcome precedents.

And former UK PM Tony Blair also appears ready to return to the frontlines.

Though most people will remember Blair as depicted in the digital collage caricatured below.

Which is probably why it wouldn’t happen, despite Blair’s desperation to return.

5) With Friends Like These Who Needs Enemies

Despite the sharp shift in global public opinion away from Israel, prominent national figures who appear to speak for pro-Palestinian protestors can still ruin this nascent yet positive momentum.

The performance of Jeremy Corbyn on Piers Morgan’s show serves as a case in point. In this interview Corbyn failed no less than 15 times to name Hamas a terrorist organisation.

Because this time Palestinian Arab and Muslim voices seem to have found their feet over Palestine in a wider media context, the best thing people like Corbyn could do is remain silent.

When compared to the new found appetite by certain Muslim commentators to address this problem immediately and candidly, Corbyn’s stance comes across as unnecessarily dogmatic and morally bankrupt.

Freedom fighters are actually easy to distinguish from terrorists. Most Muslims have by now understood this point. Corbyn appears not to have grown out of his Student Union debating days.

British Muslims have had to learn the hard way. Their bitter and trying experience with the War on Terror has allowed some to surface with a clearer moral compass and a finer understanding of the issues at play.

Here is where the fast-track theological education in the meaning of jihad that Muslim communities went though by necessity during the War on Terror years begin to come in handy. Terrorism is not jihad.

One of the Western world’s leading Islamic scholars Shaykh Hamza Yusuf recently clarified.

Note: due to Elon Musk’s ongoing social media war with Substack, video via tweets can no longer be embedded into Substack. Readers must click on the image to view all video clips.

Linguistically, the word ‘jihad’ in Arabic literally means struggle. As Shaykh Hamza Yusuf explained above, this struggle is primarily internal against the ego.

The word for ‘war’ in Arabic is ‘harbnotjihad’. But because Muslims are not pacifists, a struggle (jihad) can also be physical. This physical jihad has strict ethical rules under a form of ‘just war’ theory. Not every war is a jihad. Physical jihad requires a righteous Islamic leader to declare it.

Shaykh Hamza’s point here is that war (harb) is not considered holy in Islam. It is considered an undesirable last resort. There is nothing “holy” about it. And most forms of jihad (supreme struggle against self) are internal.

In this way, the below tradition of the Prophet makes the point that the “best jihad” is in fact using one’s free speech to hold a tyrant ruler to account.

The following tradition even makes it clear that the physical confrontation is not to be glorified nor desired.

Over the course of the War on Terror years, and with much work put in, Muslims have been rudely educated in the fine points of their own theology. They are much more alert to the trappings of misapplying their sacred doctrines and confusing them with modern political terrorism.

This is why self fulfilling prophecies of a civil war brewing in Europe serve only the dialectic so that globalists may divide and conquer. Something that Elon Musk either fails to see or is deliberately stoking.

Note: due to Elon Musk’s ongoing social media war with Substack, video via tweets can no longer be embedded into Substack. Readers must click on the image to view all video clips.

But wiser, more mature Muslim communities with stronger and more capable leadership make such a ‘civil war’ scenario, in the UK at least, much less likely.

And as long as we leave the doors to conversation open against all odds, war mongers on all sides will continue to lose ground.
