Robin Shepherd is a British academic who leads with his principles. In the hostile British anti-Israel and anti-United States environment Mr. Shepherd has suffered professionally for his staunch defense of the State of Israel. But this has not deterred Mr. Shepherd from speaking out.

In fact, today Shepherd's blog drew blood. Shepherd strongly criticized  the decision of the British Government to embargo planned armed shipments to Israel. This decision sets a very disturbing precedent. It is clear that the government capitulated to pressure from members of Parliament and anti-Israel forces with influence on the government.

But Shepherd's blog post hit a nerve. The British Government left a less than credible comment. It professes that the Government has been wrongly accused but does not deny the facts stated.

One Jerusalem applauds Shepherd's willingness to stand up for Israel and justice. We also want to introduce you to his blog which we highly recommend reading.
