That’s very well put Robin. I noticed the hysteria at the Guardian in the fighting in Gaza when the number of admitted Hamas operatives killed was rising and it became obvious that partial solutions to win an asymmetric war were succeeding that the accusations of war crimes started to be heard. And then, horror upon horror, very few Israelis were killed.

‘Lawfare’ is the new tactic of the Loony Left.

But the anti-Israeli sentiment within the UK will come to be its nemesis (?) in the future as we become an increasingly Islamized country. Few in Government show that they understand that Islam is not a religion alone, let alone a religion of peace, but rather an exclusive ideology which demands subservience both within and without, and whose proponents are quite happy to lie through their teeth to gain ground however, whenever, & wherever possible in order to push through their agenda. If more MPs understood that Israel is a country they should be taking lessons from rather than scorning, we would be much better prepared for the future. Israel understands its enemy fully – we, as yet, have no concept if we thought the IRA was a tough “enemy”! :( Yet now the top men are in Government themselves so those within Islam who equally want to destroy the country/take it over, have learnt the lesson that you pretend to denounce violence, while at the same time orchestrate it AND get yourself into strong positions within government. Sadly I think if Cameron got in, he’d be shaking hands with a UK version of Osama Bin Laden & inviting him to tea while denouncing Israel for not shaking hands with their enemy & doing the same!!

Unbelievable.

Tom Gross picked up on this:

“The Telegraph story, written by a London-based correspondent, has all the signs of being planted by anti-Israel elements at the British Foreign Office (of which there are many – witness, for example, the reinstatement last year of Rowan Laxton, a high-ranking diplomat and “Middle East expert” at the British Foreign Office, even after a London court had found him guilty of racially aggravated harassment for saying “F**king Israelis, F**king Jews… they should be wiped off the face of the earth” in a crowded London gym).”

A start could, at least, be made with Rowan Laxton, who is still in post with a criminal record for excoriating Jews and Israel. If and when he goes, I might just dip the end of my little toe in the fountain.

Here are some statistics which may help to put the war in Gaza into a broader context. The Independent carried an article by Kim Sengupta on 16 April 2009 about the Iraq war. It revealed:

“Analysis carried out for the research group Iraq Body Count (IBC) found that 39 per cent of those killed in air raids by the US-led coalition were children and 46 per cent were women. Fatalities caused by mortars, used by American and Iraqi government forces as well as insurgents, were 42 per cent children and 44 per cent women.”

No one I’ve read has suggested that Cast Lead inflicted casualty figures on Palestinian women and children in the order of 85%.

A great example of moral equivalence, if ever there was one. Quite frankly, Cameron is not strong enough or clear-minded enough to rise above the morass of political correctness and stand tall to defend democracy.

To paraphrase Hillel: “This is the whole truth; the rest is commentary.”

Chapeau!
