Elephant in the room
So what makes Abbott the best pick (in Boris Johnson's mind) to be Britain's representative abroad? The elephant in the room is Abbott's fawning admiration for Israel and his blind obedience to its lobby. In 2012 he was reported in Jewish News as saying: "In so many ways, [Israel is] a country so much like Australia, a liberal, pluralist democracy... a beacon of freedom and hope in a part of the world which has so little freedom and hope... When Israel is fighting for its very life, well, as far as I'm concerned, Australians are Israelis. We are all Israelis in those circumstances." His grasp of right and wrong in the Middle East was truly pathetic then and probably still is.
