MAYOR Ken Livingstone faced calls to quit last night after trying to justify suicide bombings.
He said: “Given that the Palestinians don’t have jet fighters and don’t have tanks, they only have their bodies to use as weapons.
“In that unfair balance, that is what people use.”
Last night Lord Janner of the World Jewish Congress said: “His sad attempt to justify Middle Eastern suicide bombers is a betrayal of the hundreds of innocent people who suffered from this terrorist barbarism in London.”
The Board of Deputies of British Jews added: “It is absurd he should parrot this apology for indiscriminate mass murder.”
Tory Ann Widdecombe demanded Mr Livingstone resign.
Yes. His tears for the victims of the London attacks were crocodile tears after all. My question: Why is this sonofabitch the mayor of one of the worlds great cities?
He looks like he just smoke a blunt. Old Ken's brain is fried for sure.
Is he saying that the Palestinians are justified for suicide bombing, but that the homegrown terrorists are not? Or is he saying that both are justified? Either way he should count himself lucky not to be dragged out and hung from a lamppost.
You can only hope the chickens come home to roost in his household.
Very well said.
....and Ken has his piehole to use as an a-hole.
If he wants to compare suicide bombers to military bombers, that cries out for the question: why do these Islamist 'military' types always seem to attack CIVILIANS?
What a bastard.
Against whom?
Perhaps this is justification to kill every one of the sonsuvbitches....as a self defense measure..
Semper Fi
In fact, she didn't go far enough.
My solution?
Abolish this post altogether.
Or at least until London voters get some common sense.
What about people like Americans who not only are not allowed tanks and planes, but are not allowed mortars or machine guns. Is it OK for Americans to vote with nuclear weapons against the democratic party?
What a moron, any blather to excuse his hatred of God.
I'll say it again:
If Londoners don't boot this guy, they've learned nothing.
The anti-Semite Mayor of one of the great cities of the world. And the Londoners haven't run him out of office yet. Speaks volumes...that along with Sheri Blair's lovely comments the other day. No doubt in my mind where their sympathies lie.
Does he know Jim McDermott??.....
This schmuck should remember that all Ghandi and his followers had were their bodies. Jesus and his followers gave their bodies to the greatest cause. Yet none of these and many who have followed killed innocent people to make their point. In fact it was because their cause was just that they did not have to.

Here, here! Ken Livingstone is not morally qualified for any position of public trust. Give that moral cretin the boot!
The "Palestinians" had more planes, tanks, and artillery on their side in the form of all the arab nations that repeatedly went to war with Isreal. They just can't fight.
And if all those Arab nations had spent those billions on making a life for the Palestinians instead of on weapons, forcing them into camps and twisting them into insanity, we would have peace in the middle east.
