The mandate had given Britain administration of the territories of Palestine and Transjordan after the end of the first world war.

Key Points: 
  • The mandate had given Britain administration of the territories of Palestine and Transjordan after the end of the first world war.
  • Asserting its “natural and historic right” to a homeland and recognition by the United Nations, the council declared the establishment of Israel.

Eyewitness account

    • The Manchester Guardian’s eyewitness account, which it ran on page five on May 15 under the headline “Natural and Historic Right”, explained why such support was needed.
    • The proclamation of statehood had taken place “in a subdued atmosphere caused by Jewish military reverses”.

Expert analysis of the birth of the state of Israel and the plight of the Palestinian people.

    • The Daily Telegraph reported that “Britain does not intend, for some time, to grant recognition to the Jewish State of Israel.
    • The Conservative broadsheet explained that these would include “definition of its boundaries and the establishment of a government clearly in control”.
    • The UK’s foreign secretary, Ernest Bevin, thought Britain’s duty was to balance US enthusiasm for Israel with diplomatic sympathy for the Arab case.
    • The Attlee government believed that immediate recognition of Israel by the US was unfair and encouraged by American Jewish opinion.

Yet recently in the UK that statement is being challenged by disruptive environmental protesters unexpectedly gatecrashing live sporting broadcasts.

Key Points: 
  • Yet recently in the UK that statement is being challenged by disruptive environmental protesters unexpectedly gatecrashing live sporting broadcasts.
  • At the end of April, live on ITV the animal rights protesters Animal Rising delayed the country’s biggest horse race, the Grand National, by 15 minutes.
  • From April 21 to 24, Extinction Rebellion (XR) held four days of peaceful protest in central London attracting an estimated 60,000 people.
  • Certainly if the idea was to attract more or better headlines, the results seem underwhelming.

The media was already unsympathetic

    • Even before the Big One had started, right-wing press coverage was already unsympathetic.
    • Plus journalists claimed there was a good chance that the London Marathon would be targeted.
    • The MailOnline ran one positive article but alongside a negative piece warning that coachloads of “grinning eco zealots” planned to closedown London.
    • The Channel 4 reporter’s summation was that The Big One was a cross between a music festival and a village fete.

Disruptive protest attracts attention

    • Across the weekend, the #TheBigOne hashtag was dominated by XR protesters arguing that disruptive protest is reported but non-disruptive is not.
    • Academic research backs this up, showing a clear imbalance in the media coverage of disruptive and non-disruptive protest.
    • My own ongoing research on younger climate activists suggests they won’t be put off as within XR they are able to decide what protest they will and will not participate in.
