"the infant State of Israel" makes me think that it's propaganda. While "Arab Armies and terrorist groups" were trying to "strangle" the "infant State of Israel," what was this innocent, harmless, powerless, little "infant" doing to local Arabs of the Palestinian persuasion?
I hate propaganda, wherever it's coming from.
I've no doubt the skulduggery in the Middle East (oil! oil! oil!) then, and now, is among the worst humankind has ever seen--but I really don't see what it would benefit England to destroy "the infant State of Israel." We were all one back then, with England excruciatingly dependent on the U.S. for postwar aid (and mid-war aid, as well--critical aid!). Is this writer saying that England was anti-American, and actively warring against the major US initiative in the Middle East? I'd have to see more proof than this. ("Only a few members in the Mossad know this..." --uh-huh.)

As to more fact-based skulduggery, here are two tidbits that have been intriguing me for some time:
When Nicholas Berg was beheaded in Iraq, there were a number of news articles in which FBI were quoted as saying that Berg had been previously interviewed by the FBI in connection with Zacharias Moussoui's computer (the one Coleen Rowley was trying to get access to, just prior to 9/11). They said they interviewed Berg after 9/11 (after the computer had been searched) because they wanted to know why Berg's email password, email account information and email address were in Moussoui's computer. They said that Berg told them that he had met Moussoui entirely by accident, on a bus heading for a class; Moussoui had asked to use his computer, and Berg had agreed. End of story, as far as the FBI was concerned. They believed Berg, or so they said.
Nicholas Berg's email information JUST HAPPENS TO BE in the computer of a major 9/11 suspect?????
Nicholas Berg--whose beheading later becomes a major P.R. campaign by the Bush Cartel and its dittoheads????
Nicholas Berg--who disappears in Iraq for several weeks, and whose parents frantically begin petitioning and suing Donald Rumsfeld, to get him released from US CUSTODY there? --and who is then beheaded by "terrorists" with his death becoming a cause celebre for war and for torture? (--same time-frame as the torture photos from Abu Ghraib become public).
Weird.

And here's my other tidbit:
July 7, 2003: David Kelly (Brit WMD expert who had been whistleblowing to the BBC on the Brits "sexed up" Iraq WMD intel) interrogated by Brit intel; and Blair is told that Kelly "could say some uncomfortable things"(--"COULD say," not HAD said).
July 14, 2003: Plame (US WMD expert) outed and disabled. (Novak.)
July 18, 2003: Kelly found dead, under extremely suspicious circumstances; his office and computers searched.
July 22, 2003: The bigger Plame outing, of the entire CIA front company, all projects and agents put at risk and disabled. (Novak.)
Connect THEM dots!
