Hatred Rallies in Trafalgar Square
Melanie Phillips Diary ^ | May 22, 2005 | Melanie Phillips

Posted on 05/22/2005 1:39:48 PM PDT by quidnunc

So now the pretence is stripped away. In London on Saturday, an unappetising collection of leftists and Islamists — including 'Gorgeous' George Galloway, the Mosely of Mesopotamia whose career has been given such a welcome fillip by the US Senate — called for the destruction of Israel. As the Jerusalem Post reports, there was no more pretence that the issue is the 'occupation' of the territories, or the security barrier, or the 'oppression' of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. They want Israel utterly destroyed.

So Andrew Birgin of the Stop the War Coalition called for "no more Israel" which was inflicting worse repression on the Palestinians than the South Africans under apartheid. Can people really be so stupid and ignorant, about both Israel and South Africa, as to believe this? (Yes they can).

The Palestinian representative to the UK, Husam Zomlot, said: "The right of return is non-negotiable! Apartheid no more!". We look forward to this principled opponent of apartheid denouncing the ethnic cleansing of the Jews from Palestine advocated by the Palestine National Covenant.

Galloway declared: "It's about time that the British government made some reparations for the Balfour declaration," thus pointing his verbal knife straight at Israel's jugular, while Tony Benn called George Bush and Ariel Sharon the "two most dangerous men in the world" and said "if this process continues, there will be possibly some sort of a world war" — which considering that we in the west are currently defending ourselves from a world war being waged by a series of genocidal fanatics backed by genocidal tyrants leaves one not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

And to cmplete this galere of enemies of civilisation and useful idiots were those pillars of truth, justice and academic integrity, Sue Blackwell of AUT boycott infamy and Paul Mackney, the general secretary of NATFHE which is about to swallow the AUT so that the enite cohort of unionised higher scholarship can feel warm inside to be represented by someone who voices sentiments like these: "Palestinian refugee camps are like open air prisons. The Israeli army frequently invades them. There will be no peace in the Middle East until there is justice for the Palestinian people."

What an advertisement for this once great country. Londonistan, capital of hatred, ignorance and prejudice in the free world.

As far as I'm concerned, leftists and Islamists have pretty much morphed into the same garbage.

"welcome fillip..."

"Fillip" perhaps, but "welcome" is a matter of viewpoint.

Melanie Phillips seems to be an interesting lady. I agree with her position that traditional British culture is valuable and should not be deconstructed from within. I see parallels in the US culture wars.

UK ping.

Oh, there is going to be a war all right. And God is going to kick you collective butts.

I'm curious just how many Brits are truly embarrassed about this?

Poor, brave, altruistic Winston Churchill is spinning in his grave.

<< Londonistan, capital of hatred, ignorance and prejudice in the free world. >>

And, to not forget, of decadence, of the surrender of Magna Carta to the Brussels' Neo-Soviet, of the death of British sovereignty -- and at the leading edge of the movement toward drawing the curtins upon and extinguishing the light on Judeo-Christian/Western Civilization.

"Hey Britain, get your head out of your 'arse' and meet your future! Its in Trafalgar Square."

Hardly. The likes of Galloway and Benn and a few ragtag trades unionists desperate for some way of drawing attention to themselves are dinosaurs that just aren't quite extinct yet. Even the political party that spawned them looks down on them with disdain.

Wow. The "palaeo"/Commie circle is really coming together.

We've come a long way from the old days when Phil Donahue, "Rabbi" Alexander Schindler, and Gore Vidal(!!!) got their jollies by calling all pro-Israel Fundamentalists anti-Semites.

Those Nazis should stop occupying Palestine, which is just north of France.

Dang, she might just be gaining on Steyn if she keeps this up.

The left is showing, once again, how revolting they truly are. Nothing matters to them except for raw power, and they will align themselves with the scum of the Earth to gain that power. From the 1920's until the 1990s, their favorite scum were the Communists, and now their scum of choice is islime. The only good leftist is one that has long since assumed room temperature, and begun the process of decomposition.

I had a reading test on my blog is the following phrase
Ati-semitic

"But on the subject of Iraq and the whole fascist Judea -
American Neocon war on terror fraud"

Every conservative said it was anti semitic and anti american.

Liberal 1 (Jewish) Not antisemitic but the author is a moron
Liberal 2 No comment
Liberal 3 Anti Zionism is not anti semitism --- can give you
a list of Jews who agree with that statement

My conclusion is that liberalism is a form of dyslexia.
The full quote was anti Christian as well

I have a friend who lives in Gr. Britain. I've never been to the UK, so I wanted to go and I was going to fly into London. My friend, Harry, said to me, "Why go to London? There are no Brits there." I think that largely sums up the problem in London.

Britain to the north, Wolverhampton, is a fine place, sort of pricy now but the Euro is up and the dollar is down. Our turn in the barrel.
