He’s absolutely right. And they were anti-Semitic long before the present problems in the Mideast. The things you can hear at a London dinner party at which the guests are educated, distinguished people, would shock almost any American. They are absolutely open about their distaste for Jews. I’m not Jewish but I’m a Zionist, and I have been shocked by British thinking. Prince Charles is NOT out of the mainstream on this.

We are spoiled here in the US—we all basically get along pretty well, give or take a small minority of racists (most of whom are black or Hispanic). We’re not accustomed to hearing such shocking racism from the mouths of white people. In Europe it’s common.

No matter what else may be in the article or the response - THIS is the quote that matters because it is true and because it is presently in danger.

And now that the British have been thoroughly dhimmified by the Muslim occupiers, it’s even worse. Dare to say something good about Jews in public in England, and Moose will rage and spout and fume about it and demand an apology.

The heavy evangelical bent of America makes it a harder nut to chew for the Moose.

It’s nothing new. British policy has always been as anti-Israel as possible. In 1948, British officers participated in war crimes, the massacres of Gush Etzion, the bombardment of the Jewish Quarter in the Old City. In the 1930s, they sank ships full of refugees in international waters. In 1929, they tried to cover up the Arab atrocities in Hebron. Anti-Semitic banter at cocktail parties is the very least of it.
