"These things are all being done by leftists, NuLabour and their government stooges, not by the British people."

You mean like Jack Straw the anti-Israel FM?


"England's Foreign Minister Jack Straw says that the world should worry about disabling Israel's nuclear capabilities as much as it is concerned with preventing Iran from going nuclear."

"International condemnation followed Israel's killing of Hamas leader Abdel Aziz Rantisi in Gaza City. 'snip'

British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw condemned the missile strike.

"The British government has made it repeatedly clear that so-called targeted assassinations of this kind are unlawful, unjustified and counterproductive."

"The BBC has always been a leftist propaganda outlet"

The BBC is supported by your tax dollars. It is a state owned news agency. If it is anti-Semitic, which we both seem to agree it is, the British people should make it shape up.

As to the increase in violence against Jews, you said --

"This is entirely due to the increasing population of Islamic immigrants in the UK, not to the behaviour of the native British people.'

So where the hell are the police, the courts and the government? Where is the public outcry? Non-existant.

"You should consider whether or not such bad behaviour will facilitate good feeling towards the Israeli and Jewish peoples in Britain, or will be counterproductive to your cause."

Threats? Jews better shut up or else? Nice. That will really help your cause -- improving the image of the British as not anti-Semitic.

I have to back David Hunter (and Eli Reifman) on this. Of course anti-semitism is present in England, as in most places. But to suggest that it is widespread, endemic or chronic is in my experience a grotesque distortion of reality. In 62 years of a not particularly sheltered life in England, I've witnessed personally only one example of anti-semitism. That was over thirty years ago: and it's stayed in my mind with perfect clarity precisely because it was so unusual.
