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.
"I'm curious just how many Brits are truly embarrassed about this?"
The vast majority of us.
Thank you. I really needed to hear that. :)
At that time, in that place, there were still plenty of people that didn't have contempt for Americans. I read today about so many bad attitudes for Americans that it doesn't sound at all like the same England as back then.
I think things are changing faster there for the worse, but here in the US they are changing for the better. I think conservatism is growing more followers by the day, as people see that the left has no answers and shrinking influence (such as their media (newspaper/tv news wing) :).
Keep fighting the good fight FReepers and when you have a chance, and your enemy is drowning,...take a page from the James Carville playbook and throw that sunn-uva-b!tch an anchor.
Pob hwyl!

Diolch yn fawr!
Glad you are here.
This is why PM Sharon is pursuing the two state solution, to avoid the one state solution the left is promoting.
"The Red Jihad".
There are still many good and decent British people. However, they are very much like Americans who care about freedom, and are seeing it slip away due to our leaders love of open borders and millions of illegals.
There have always be crazies in Britain, however with illegal immigration (particularly the Muslims) literally taking over the country, anti Americanism is running rampant, and will eventually be the downfall of the government and freedom, as it will here in America.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the UK stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the USA in our efforts in Iraq.
One of the few European nations to do so.
And, if I recall correctly, UK voters recently returned to power the same government that sided with the US in our efforts.
Despite the efforts of folks like Galloway.
