The British abandonment of Israel continues apace. “UK bars all Israelis from prestigious defense college,” i24News, September 14, 2025:
The British government has announced that, starting next year, Israelis will no longer be admitted to the Royal College of Defense Studies (RCDS), marking the first exclusion of Israelis since the institution was founded in 1927. Previously, restrictions applied only to officers of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), but the new policy will apply to all Israeli applicants, civilian or military.
The decision comes amid the ongoing war in Gaza, according to reporting by The Telegraph, and represents a notable shift in British-Israeli defense cooperation….
Can the British military really do without close relations with Israel’s military? Which country, do you think, is more advanced in drone technology, in anti-missile systems, in the application of AI on the battlefield? Britain already employs Watchkeeper UAV, based on Israel’s Hermes 450 drone, Other key systems include the Sky Sabre missile defense system, which draws on technology from Israel’s Iron Dome, and Spike NLOS (Exactor) missile systems.
Close relations between British and Israeli military officers, forged early on, work to the advantage of both parties. They share experiences and strategies, they discuss existing weapons and what weapons are being developed, or that they wish would be developed.
This crude and cruel banishment by the British government of Israelis who want to study at the Royal Military College will do more damage to the British military than to that of Israel.
Right now, Israel is fighting.a seven-front war for its survival. But it is not only fighting for itself. Muslim terror groups are not just intent on destroying Israel, but want to destroy, through demography, terrorism, and combat (qital), the entire world of Infidels. When Israel bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities, in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan, it was setting back by several years Iran’s program to build a half-dozen nuclear weapons. Those weapons would not only threaten Israel, but carried on the ballistic missiles Iran has also been building, could reach Western Europe and North America. It was Israel, similarly, that removed the threat of a nuclear-armed Iraq led by that monster Saddam Hussein, when the IDF destroyed the Osirak reactor in 1981. And Israel did the same with Assad’s nuclear project, in 2007 destroying the nuclear reactor being built at Al-Kibar, out in the Syrian desert. Instead of gratitude to the Jewish state, much of the West has calumniated and ostracized the Jewish state.
A spokesperson for the British Ministry of Defense defended the decision, emphasizing that the college welcomes participants from many nations, provided they respect international humanitarian law. The spokesperson criticized Israel’s ongoing military operations in Gaza, calling instead for a diplomatic resolution that includes a ceasefire, the release of hostages, and expanded humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza.
It is precisely that offer of a ceasefire, the release of hostages, and even more humanitarian aid than the Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation already has delivered — some 120 million meals since May to people in Gaza — that Hamas has rejected. Hamas insists that it be allowed both to keep its weapons and to remain in control of the Strip.
Who will lose more from this unseemly decision by the British government to prevent Israelis from attending the Royal College of Defense Studies? You know the answer to that, even if Keir Starmer and David Lammy do not.

Their discrimination will backfire against them. Islam and its Muslims will infiltrate every facet of UK society and corrupt it from within for conquest as taught in Islam’s Quran(Quran 9:5, 29, 111, etc.). This fact is applicable everywhere.
Allah’s ideology in Qur’an 8:39 commands Muslims to fight Non-Muslims until they surrender to Muslim rule and become Muslims when it says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” Muslims are encouraged to conquer and subjugate every territory for Islam using every tool available starting with the Government or State. Hence, Islam and Muslim actions should be legally challenged with a multi-faceted force of Western Laws like Muslims wield against Westerners via Governments, Tax Exempt Organizations, the Media and Hollywood, Foreign Funding, etc. because Islam violates and is incompatible with Western Laws(Quran 8:60; 9:5,29, 111; 47:4; 49:15; 65:4 etc.).
Edward Brennan says
The U.K. has already been conquered, but there is still hope, if good Christians and others join together, and remove the Islamic threat, by any means.
We must protect our children.
We must ban Islam in the West.

The UK keeps getting dumber and dumber. Dumbness, you know, is a great ally of both ignorance and evil.
Eddie says
What a joke.
We British have hardly got any armed forces left to be able to fight our way out of a wet paper bag.
Defence college? What’s that ? A discussion group for theorists?
Israel won’t be missing much. Britain can’t even protect Dover from rubber dinghies.
I am sure the IDF can do fine without going to college here.
Westman says
The Israelis should be teaching the Brits how to get the most from small fighting forces. We’ve observed in the Ukraine-NATO-Russian war that the high-tech weapons don’t make much difference compared to boots on the ground and artillery. Then there is the problem that the belligerants quickly run out of high-tech weapon stockpiles and cannot keep up with battlefield demand.
The EU, UK, and Ukraine are doing everything possible get US troops on the ground in Ukraine because they know, as you have described, their soft armies would be gobbled up.

This is something I was discussing yesterday w/ James Lincoln in the context of Britain’s nukes potentially being in the hands of Shabana Mahmood, Sadiq Khan, et al. In this thread below, done months ago in the context of Canada’s former deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland suggesting that British nukes be used to defend Canada from the US, one poster mentioned a conversation b/w 2 English professors who mentioned that Britain’s missile defense system had been tested exactly two times over the last 10 years, and failed both times. I’d be more nervous about Pakistan’s nukes than Britain’s

As you note, the IDF is doing fine w/o going to college in Albion, or wherever else in the UK
James Lincoln says
Ironically, the British military could learn more from the IDF than the IDF could learn from the British military.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I don’t wanna sound like a warhawk, but you do need to practice. The IDF is at war today, and therefore on the cutting edge. The Indians took on Pakistan earlier this year, and know how capable, or incapable they are. We fought 2 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and know how easy it is (not including any of the nationbuilding operations which was a State Department fiasco), and are now sinking boats off the Venezuelan coast once they leave Venezuelan waters and enter international waters
The last time Britain fought a serious war was in the Falklands in 1982. Have been idling ever since, and no, peacekeeping operations is not a practice for fighting, much less winning, a war
But given how dhimmified, if not islamified, the British government is, maybe it’s just for the best that the armed forces are a shadow of their former selves
James Lincoln says
࿗Infidel࿘ says,
“The last time Britain fought a serious war was in the Falklands in 1982.”
Yes.
Back in 1982, the UK maintained sovereignty over the Falkland Islands against the Argentinians but now – ironically – the UK cannot maintain sovereignty over its own country.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I wonder whether our Brit friends where who are panicking about the islamization of Britain might just take their stuff and relocate to the Falklands? It’s less likely that people will chase them there, and President Millei is a lot more reasonable than Gen Galtieri

UK surges in the European Islamopandering derby.

“Israelis Forbidden to Study at Royal College of Defense Studies”
Oh no! What do they teach there, how to defend against hurtful thoughts words and ideas?
As the UK is in the process of being over run by islamofascists I dont think the Israelis would learn anything of value.
