Brits Becoming More Open About The Jewish Question
by Ian Mosley
Hundreds of British soldiers have died in the inferno of Iraq, sent there by a Prime Minister who was nothing but a puppet of the American Presidency. Has this finally awakened a long-dormant awareness of the Jewish problem in the people of Great Britain? The Israelis certainly seem to think so, and they’re worried.
According to an editorial in the newspaper Haaretz, which is roughly Israel’s equivalent of the New York Times, “Britain has become in recent years the battlefield in Israel’s fight for its existence as a Jewish state. The number of British organizations calling for the boycott of Israel, their public campaigns, and their constant comparisons between Israel and the apartheid regime of South Africa have made the battle for British public opinion particularly significant.”
Haaretz goes on to cite the latest example of anti-Semitism from Blighty: “On Wednesday, representatives of the new British University and College Union (UCU) will be meeting in Bournemouth. On the agenda is another proposal to boycott Israel’s academic institutions. These proposals have become as regular and as predictable as Qassam attacks on Sderot….The fact that Hamas, which controls the Palestinian Authority, does not recognize even pre-1967 Israel, and commits acts of terror against civilians, does not matter either. These nuances did not stop one boycott initiator from saying last week that justice in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is entirely on one side.” (more…)
