Boteach said, "From the mayor of London, who called a Jewish reporter he didn't like a Nazi concentration camp guard, to the explosion of violent attacks on Jewish citizens and institutions, to this boycott outrage against Israeli universities, the latent anti-Semitism that has always existed in Britain is beginning to surface."

With this phrase, this reporter proves he's only telling half truths. The outrage against Red Ken's statement was so great that he was forced into a retraction. Also, Labour, probably misguidedly, put pictures of Oliver Letwin and Michael Howard on flying pigs (suggesting pigs would fly when their sums added up), however both are Jewish and the outrage against even the suggestion if an anti-Jewish slur meant Labour apologised and the ads were withdrawn.

I have been through this time and time again with you bigots - the segments you choose to focus on to "prove latent British anti-semitism", are the same segments in your society which show anti-semitic tendencies. If you don't agree that American academia does and says anti-Semeitic things, then you are a total liar.

As such, all this proves, once more, is that you are reaching for an excuse to Brit-bash.

And the UK officially refused to regard Hamas and Hizbollah as terrorist organizations despite President Bush's request that they do so. But that's no surprise from a country that turned the Mandate for the Jewish homeland into a war against the Jews. ...which war the Jews won.
