David Cameron, British prime minister and leader of the national Conservative Party, said Tuesday, “Gaza cannot and must not be allowed to remain a prison camp.” He also called out governments on double standards against the Turkish State (1:04):

The leader of the British government and U.K. Conservative Party and his deputy are moving toward being on the more liberal side of history than any contemporary U.S. government in opposing the unlawful blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt on Gaza, days after his deputy called the Bush-Blair Administrations’ invasion of Iraq “illegal”.

Tuesday, alongside Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, British Prime Minister David Cameron condemned the Israel-Egypt-U.S. aggressive blockade of the Gaza Strip and the recent attack of the Freedom Flotilla that killed eight Turks and an American citizen on the Mavi Marmara vessel.

The prime minister stated “the situation in Gaza has to change” and that he supports “lifting the blockade of Gaza”, using imagery likening the Israeli and Egyptian governments to the Nazis—adding: “Gaza cannot and must not be allowed to remain a prison camp.”

He also said that Turkey has the “potential of being a ‘great unifier’ “, Nicholas Watt and Hélène Mulholland reported at the London Guardian, who added that Ankara “wants to deepen trade links with Iran” in light of its recent deal with Tehran to further open up its civilian nuclear enrichment program, despite unilateral sanctions by the U.S. and European Union and joint sanctions imposed by the U.N. Security Council.

Mr. Cameron added that it makes him “angry” and “frustrated” that the French and German governments oppose admission of the Turkish government into the E.U.

The U.K. deputy prime minister and leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, Nick Clegg, last week called the 2003 invasion and war against Iraq “illegal” on the floor of Parliament (0:46):

Libertarian scholar David Friedman recently noted the relatively radical liberalism of Mr. Clegg twice at his blog (here and here).

While in power, when have agents within the U.S. executive branch of the government made statements like these about Israel or an aggressive war started by the previous administration? Ironic that the U.K. doesn’t even have a constitution.

EDIT: Robert Mackey added at his New York Times blog that this isn’t the first time Mr. Cameron has called Gaza a giant prison:

The Guardian noted that this is not the first time Mr. Cameron has said that Palestinians are imprisoned in Gaza. According to Hansard, the House of Commons’s official record, Mr. Cameron said on June 28: “Everybody knows that we are not going to sort out the problem of the Middle East peace process while there is, effectively, a giant open prison in Gaza.”

July 30 will mark one year since my friends Shane Bauer, Sarah Shourd and Josh Fattal were detained by Iran.  One year of being held virtually incommunicado.  One year without access to a lawyer and without being charged.  For Sarah, one year of solitary confinement. 

The Nation magazine recently reported that the three were kidnapped in Iraqi territory by Iranian police, making this whole affair even more outrageous and unjust.  Shane, Sarah and Josh must be freed immediately and returned to their families, friends and comrades.

Events around the world will be held on and around July 30 to mark this miserable anniversary and to demand Iran release the hikers immediately.  Please see www.freethehikers.org to learn about the several ways to get involved and help out.

Patrick Cockburn, Iraq correspondent at The Independent, discussed the sectarian conflict in Iraq, the farce of ‘the Surge working’ in the Western media, the political push against the the drawdown of U.S. ‘combat troops’, the post-Saddam political climate and instability that makes it ‘one of the most dangerous places on the planet’ at AntiWar Radio with Scott Horton (20:09):

11 July 2010 | AntiWar Radio

Patrick Cockburn, Middle East correspondent for the London Independent and author of the book Muqtada: Muqtada al-Sadr, the Shia Revival, and the Struggle for Iraq, discusses the recent bombing attacks against Shia pilgrims in Iraq, the continued political impasse over which alliance of parties will be able to form a government, the question of whether whoever comes to power will insist upon the Dec. 2011 deadline for U.S. withdrawal or bow to Pentagon plans to retain bases there and the continuing humanitarian crisis there.

Patrick Cockburn was awarded the 2009 Orwell Prize for political writing in British journalism. He is the Middle East correspondent for The Independent and a frequent contributor to CounterPunch.org. Cockburn is the author of The Occupation: War, Resistance and Daily Life in Iraq and Muqtada Al-Sadr and the Battle for the Future of Iraq.
