Its very sad but I felt physically threatened in the heart of London, Benny Morris told me in a telephone conversation.
Several days ago, on his way to speak at the London School of Economics, the Israeli historian encountered the tragic reality of Londonistan, as the journalist Melanie Phillips labelled the British Islamization.
On the way to his talk, Morris was almost lynched by a mob of leftists and jihadists. He was walking with his wife towards the LSE, when he was accosted by a group of keffiyah-ed Muslims who, recognising him, started hurling abuse, shouting and screaming in his face that he was a fascist, murderer, racist and that UK shouldnt have let him speak.
The police were called, but when they arrived, the fanatics had melted away.
When Morris finished his lesson on Israels war of 1948, he was unceremoniously bundled away through the back exit of the faculty, past the garbage cans, out of fear for his safety if he left the building in the normal manner.

Michael Savage has been also been wronged by old “King George” the royalist Brits, as well.
Ironic also that Morris is a prominent ‘revisionist’ Israeli historian. For years he has been engaged in ‘correcting the record’ of Israeli-Arab conflict to show that the Israelis were frequently duplicitous, ruthless, aggressive and generally over reactive and militaristic in their approach to the Arabs. Morris doesn’t say that the Israelis shouldn’t have fought back or defended themselves but should have fought in a ‘kinder, gentler’ manner. Many liberal left Israelis such as Barak and Livni as well as that stronghold of Peace Now, Nar-Ilan U find themselves treated as pariahs and lepers by PC Euros and Islamonazis. Maybe now they will really understand the earlier Zionist slogan There is no choice’.
Oh yes, most of them in recent years said they had an "Uncle Bert" or an "Uncle Charlie", who broke fascist heads, not to mention old dad. Today their descendants would be whisked off to jail no doubt. This if they cracked muslim sculls.
Oh well, the old guard can go back to their part in the defeat of Adolf Hitler, this on the home front. Pretty hard to criticize though. I wonder what Sir Winston would have done?
Sir Winston would have personally escorted the lecturer to the podium, and stared down his would-be assailants in the streets. Of course, the police would be heavily present to prevent any assaults on a sitting PM, but I don’t think any of these punks could have withstood a stare from Sir Winston. My gut feeling of what would have happened, anyway.
They delude themselves into thinking they’re “the right kind” of Jooos! But Jooos! are Jooos! to the fascists.
The UK seems to be a lost cause.
Nothing is ever a lost cause. But there are no great leaders anymore. Sir Winston is gone. So is Lady Thatcher. Even Tony Blair isn’t available. So if Britons want to have another “finest hour,” it will have to come from their own selves.

I hope I am not carrying this on unnecessarily. The facists in London at the time (1936) wanted to parade deliberately through a predominantly Jewish neighbourhood, hence the "battle".
It was in 1898, a 24 year old Winston was with Kitchener at Omdurman in the Sudan. 20,000 fanatical muslim Dervish at the charge. To have lost was to be slaughtered to the last man. Churchill got off a few pistol shots, as the Dervish died for Allah, about 9,000 of 'em.
One learns, if following all posts, that even a sympathizer like the beleaguered gentleman (Mr Morris) gets no mercy. What a terrible mess it now is. Intimidation is the weapon and it might be working against us all.
But in the absence of extraordinary characters such as Winston Churchill, the rank-and-file Britons cannot just rough up the occasional fascist demonstration, as they did in those days.
To counter intimidation, everyone has got to be a Sir Winston and show solidarity against the intimidators and with their intended prey, or you’ll be over-run by them, have to join them. That’s what occurred in Germany.
I have occasionally been outspoken about the British Mandate in Israel, but that does not mean I don’t appreciate some of your more admirable qualities. If any people has the character needed to face down intimidation and fascism in their own country, it’s Britons. Just show up on the Cable Streets of the future and be a Sir Winston.
