Abstract

This study explores the perceptions of Britain's main political parties towards the Palestinian Islamist faction Hamas throughout the period between 2003 and 2016. It explores also the extent of variation between the major political parties in the UK towards Hamas. The author argues that the lack of a value-based outlook on the part of the British ruling establishment as well as a lack of respect for the tenets of international law—which enshrines the right to resist occupation—have driven that establishment to embrace the UK's colonial legacy, and to regard their government as the founder and protector of the State of Israel. It is this establishmentarian discourse, argues the author, which drives the criminalization of Hamas within British politics.

  16. إحدى طرق التفكير بشأن الفرق بين الجماعة الأمنية التعددية ومنظومة الأمن الجماعي أن الأولى تتعلق بالنزاعات داخل الجماعة، بينما تتعلق الثانية بالنزاعات بين الجماعة وأولئك غير الأطراف فيها (سواء غير الأعضاء، أو الأعضاء الرافضون لمعايير الجماعة.) منظومة الأمن الجماعي قائمة على مبدأ المساعدة المتبادلة، أو "الكل من أجل واحد، وواحد من أجل الكل": عندما يكون أمن أحد الأعضاء مهددًا بعدوان، فإنه يفترض أن يهبّ الجميع للدفاع عنه، حتى لو لم يكن أمنهم الشخصي محلّ تهديد، في حين أن الجماعة الأمنية التعددية مؤسسة على نمط من الاعتماد الأمني المتبادل الذي لا تتوقع فيه الوحدات استخدام القوة، أو التحضير لاستخدامها، في علاقاتها السياسية بعضها مع بعض.
