UK taxpayers fund 'pro-terrorist' play based on the words of Hamas killers

British taxpayers are to fund a play sympathising with Palestinian terrorist groups who have murdered civilians and carried out suicide bombings on crowded commuter buses.

Arts Council England is handing over £15,000 to producers of a unashamedly one-sided drama based on accounts from the gunmen and bombers of Hamas and the Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade.

The money will fund a UK tour of their play The Siege, telling of a 2002 stand-off when Israeli troops cornered militants in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, worshipped as Christ’s birthplace.

The production has already received cash from the British Council and the EU for performances in the Palestinian territories, and the new handout will fund a ten-city UK tour starting in Manchester on May 13.

Jewish leaders last night raised ‘extreme concern’ that the British taxpayer might be funding a play promoting ‘terrorism as legitimate’.

In publicity for the play, Hamas and Al Aqsa Brigade terrorists are merely referred to as ‘fighters’ with no acknowledgement of their cold-blooded murder of civilians.

The siege lasted 39 days and only ended when 13 of the ring-leaders were allowed safe passage and deported to various European countries. It is from these men’s accounts that the play’s script has been woven together.

"Al Aqsa Brigade terrorists are merely referred to as ‘fighters’ with no acknowledgement of their cold-blooded murder of civilians."

At a time when Muslims (and their leftwing allies) repeatedly use disrespect for Islam as justification for acts of murderous outrage, you can also bet that the play also omits the desecration committed by those Muslims during the siege:

Palestinians used Bible as toilet paper Muslims
Desecration of holy book received little notice

"Catholic priests in the church marking the spot where Jesus was believed to have been born said that during the five-week siege, Palestinians tore up some Bibles for toilet paper and removed many valuable sacramental objects."

The ruling elite of UK (and most European countries, and now USA) have sold out their country/ies to the IslamoNazis.

There are so many “immigrants” from IslamoNazi Krapistans now in these Western nations... that they are probably doomed.

The only possible way to save our nations is to rise up in the electoral process to compel our governments to expel, return these “immigrants” (invaders) to their own countries. ASAP! (But, I fear it won’t happen...)

people in UK, Europe, USA are letting their ruling elites sell them out to the IslamoNazis, allowing millions of “immigrants” to enter from the various Krapistans of the world

I guess we really don’t appreciate just how fortunate we are, or were, to live in (mostly Christian) “Western” nations like UK, Germany, USA, France, Italy...

picture of us kissing our asses goodbye...goes here:
