FURY AS COUNCIL LAUNCHES BOYCOTT ON ISRAELI BOOKS
Express Company UK ^ | May 21,2011 | By Paul Gilbride

SNP (Scottish National Party)-led West Dunbartonshire Council has ordered that its libraries ban any new volumes by Israeli authors, printed or published in the Jewish state.

It follows an earlier decision by the local authority to boycott Israeli goods and produce as part of a pro-Palestinian display.

Now, it has emerged the areas’ libraries have been told not to stock any new books from Israel.

But a similar boycott move by Dundee City Council has had to be abandoned because legal experts advised such a move is illegal under EU law.

I have read that the SNP is very Socialist (possibly Red). It is not unusual for Lefties to want to ban or burn books. In a word, intollerent.

Lefties here in the U.S. don't like Israel either.

But I sure do. Hurrah for Bibi.

God Bless Israel, God Bless the U.S., God Bless Texas.

Looks like they’re too British to become independent after all—Lawrence of Arabia and all of that.

Is Britain now officially an Anti-semetic nation?

Can we expect a ReichKristallnacht pretty soon?

Will Jewish Newspapers be banned in UK and web based Jewish material?

Maybe Jews in Britain should think about getting out NOW.

There are things I thank the Scottish for, but this political party is not one of them.

Thanks for Adam Smith, for Hume, for Hutcheson, for Reid, for Ferguson and for the battle of Bannockburn.

As far as Scottish foods? Scones and shortbread cookies. hee hee hee

Why the half measures?

Stack them in a pile on the street, soak them in gasoline, and set them alight.

Heck, it won’t be the first time.

Not Britain, but the new Scottish Party wishing to break away from England.

Britain is too tolerant for their own good (Muslim), for now.

“Will Jewish Newspapers be banned in UK and web based Jewish material?”

I can tell you that some of the best pro-Israel resources on the web are already buried by google hits trickery. In some manner, it’s already happened.

There’s plenty of red wine and cognac to embrace while I forgo single malts. In the meantime, Scotland can go pound peat.

If they would only dump that nasty Postmodern German philosophy which includes Marx and go back to their “Roots”.....WOW-—Thomas Reid!!!! Adam Smith!!! What minds used to flourish in that small country!!!

Some Englishman complained once about that vile pollution of the Rhine flowing into the Thames in the early 1900’s. He knew England would die when they adopted their sick, twisted atheistic relativism. We are seeing their last gasp before arabs raise their flag over Buckingham Palace.....Scotland will be next to fall.

The nihilism is so obvious....Dalrymple writes about the demise....because of the “intellectual elites” who’s ideas infested all institutions of England. Ruins the children—so they have no future. Culture of Death as the Pope correctly calls it.

Methinks what’s left in Scotland are offspring of loyalists, government bloodsuckers, that assisted the crown in clearing the highlands. All the good Scots are in the Americas and Australia.
