We are mature as individuals and old enough as a nation to realise that some of the time we got it right and sometimes we get it wrong. No one has quoted directly on this blog anything that Hajo Meyer said, so I have no reason on the basis of this to support or condemn this old man. Looking at these postings does make me a little bit proud to come from a country that supports the princiople of free speech. I'm delighted that you can make your arguments, however sophisticated or unsophisticated and that he can make his. Some people don’t like the Brits – fine we don’t care.

Also why is it that to be pro-palestinian one must therefore be anti-jew? Does that mean that pro-Israel people are therefore anti-arab/muslim? How come the people who sympathize with the Palestinians (whom Ben-Gurion himself admitted were the victims) do not use the anti-arab/muslim slur against their opponents? Could it be that simple things like facts, history and morality are enough to cement their arguement? it is evidently so. Why is wrong to be anti-zionist?

I believe we should seek to have him on the banned list from entering the UK on the basis of his incitement to hatred, and the likely breaches of peace his appearances are likely to cause.
