British politician: ‘Israel is the root cause of terrorism'
JPost.com ^ | JONNY PAUL

In the second attack on Israel by Liberal Democrat politicians in the same week that the party’s leader said the party got it wrong on Israel, Jenny Tonge claimed on Friday that Israel’s treatment of Palestinians is the root cause of terrorism worldwide.

Possibly “Holocaust guilt” allows this treatment to go unchecked, Tonge said, adding that it might also be the “power of the pro-Israel lobby” in the UK and US.

The Liberal Democrat peer was speaking in the House of Lords at the Strategic Defense and Security Review, which sets out how the British government will deliver the priorities identified in its national security strategy.

On the issue of world conflict prevention, Tonge then said: “It is a disgrace to us all that problems such as Kashmir and Palestine are still alienating Muslims all over the world.

“The treatment of Palestinians by Israel is held up as an example of how the West treats Muslims,” she said, “and is at the root cause of terrorism worldwide.”

- In 2004, Tonge was sacked as a spokeswoman on children’s issues after suggesting she could consider becoming a suicide bomber.

Perhaps she should discuss the matter with Palestinian journalist Khaled Abu Toameh, if he’s willing to waste his time talking to a crazy British bigot.

Always the same lie...if muslims in the West Bank and Gaza (I refuse to call them Palestinians given it is not accurate) are in such self-inflicted torment, why aren’t the muslims in Israel raising hell and going to war with their host? Because they have it too good and they know it. The muslims in the West Bank and Gaza are simply pawns used by the other muslim nations to provoke Israel at any given time. Anybody with a brain can see this. If the neighboring muslim countries cared so much about their brothers in the West Bank and Gaza, why aren’t they letting them emigrate and call it a day? I believe there’s around 5 million of these SOBs’.... you tell me with over a billion of these turds in the world, they can’t absorb .5% and call it a day? All b.s. Israel has it’s hands full dealing with this ongoing trouble, and it’s coming to a neighborhood near you given current allowed immigration of muslims into this country. Another crime against the West in the making. Wait and see and try and feel good about what we’re handing our children and grandchildren.

The House of Lords has a number of great people, like Lady Thatcher, and a number of loonies of various types.

Well, with Israel gone, they can focus more on the US and Europe. Jihad has existed for 1400 years. Islam cannot stop with just Israel...after all,there are all those Christians and Infidels, and governments made from men., not to mention unfaithful, blasphemous and apostate Muslims to deal with. “Do not forget the Shiites” say all Sunnis.

This bigoted old woman is a well-known anti-Israel loon and an example of the reason England is slowly but surely turning into a de facto Muslim nation. Sad.

Jenny has it all wrong. There is indeed "Holocaust guilt", but it has nothing to do with modern-day Israel and the Palestinians. Rather, it infects all of western Europe and prevents Germany, France, Spain, et al from daring to purge the Muslims who, after centuries of thwarted attempts, are finally poised to take over the continent.
