1—The British didnt do everything’ etc etc, they were trying to satisfy both sides. That dosent make ipso facto the British antisemitic, anymore than supporting Diem made America ‘racist’ against Orientals.

2—Stating the FACT of Jewish terrorism by two groups 1944-48 isnt claiming victimhood.

3—Yes, I know it. Lots of it. MA in History from Glasgow University thanks.

4—Your point about DP camps in Italy and Germany is the usual hysterical nonsense I have read many times. The DP camps were POW camps used to hold Allied prisoners by the Germans. They were good enough for Johnny GI and Tommy Brit.

Again, I am sick of this revisionism that makes them akin to the death camps.

Then maybe you should do an in depth reading of the many, many posts about those very subjects which I have posted here before.
I reiterate. Nothing you have said and nothing anyone else has done absolves britain. Have you noticed some of your more silly “laws” lately? What would possess the british parliament to pass a CRIMINAL law forbidding people from showing the soles of their shoes in public and try to claim it was for he sake of cleanliness? Why would your schools forbid teaching the Holocaust? Why are you closing down pork processing companies? The list is lengthy.
NO ONE during WWII did ANYTHING to stop the ovens from blasting away or stop the railcars from ariving with thousands of Jews in them. NO ONE tried to liberate those camps. NO ONE. Don’t even go there.

I was talking about the BRITISH refugee camps for JEWS in Cypress and elsewhere. Talk about revisionist history....
Wow.

Sorry mate, but where are you getting stories like the above from?. They are complete nonsense.

Italy, Cyprus, DP camps, refugee camps......my point is still the same.

[the scotsman]

No such law, no such banning of the Holocaust in teaching, and no closing of pork factories!.

I am polite, so I will simply say that your assertions are, erm, ‘bizarre’. I can assure you that they are also nonsense and have not happened. Again, where are you getting this nonsense?.

It was the British who gave thousands of Jews a refuge in the run up to WW2, when no other country (including the US) would.

It was Britain that shipped most of the Jewish refugees over to the Palestine mandate in the post WW2 world.

Britain (and France) were allied to Israel in the six days war of 1956.

Britain sold military equipment (armoured vehicles mostly) to the Israeli State throughout the sixties and seventies.

So to say Britain has NEVER supported Israel is simply untrue - its just extremist fundamentalist Christian or Zionist crap that sees anything other than total abject support for every aspect of Israel's activities as evidence of anti-semitism.
