Were you outraged by a Sainsbury's store's decision over the weekend to hide away its kosher foods in an attempt to placate anti-Israel protesters? You should have been. For this incident, though seemingly a one-off, speaks to a profound problem in Europe today – the respectable classes' acquiescence to anti-Semitism; their willingness to accept anti-Semitic sentiment as a fact of life and to shrug it off or, worse, kowtow to it.
The kosher incident took place at the Sainsbury's in Holborn in London. When a mob of anti-Israel protesters gathered outside the store, the manager took the extraordinary decision to take all kosher products off the shelves lest the protesters target them and smash them up. Kosher foods, of course, are Jewish not Israeli; they are part of the Jewish dietary requirement, not part of any kind of Israeli food corporatism. To shamefacedly hide away such foodstuffs in order to appease a gang of hot-headed Israel-haters is an attack on a religious people and their rights, not on the Israeli state. That in Britain in 2014 we have store managers taking kosher foods off public display should be of concern to anyone who hates prejudice and racism.

The sooner the UK adapts the Emporer Palpatine approach to Muslims, the better.
We’ll come to the same conclusion, albeit only after the Muzzies commit their next atrocity in the U.S.
Just not the same Britain from 1940. Shame that a great number of their “real men” were killed from 1940 to 1945. Appears they have never recovered.
WWI did even more damage.
Acquiescense to ISLAM is more like it.
JUst read that thread in Bloggers and Personal about Sweden and the problems they're having with the muzzies.
This HAS TO STOP!
