Anti-Semitism in Britain: "Sit Up and Take Notice"
by George Igler
• August 20, 2014 at 5:00 am
"There
is a direct link between politicians saying things and people being
emboldened to go and attack Jews." — Jonathan Arush, Vice-President, UK
Board of Deputies.
It is
never the person who commits these sorts of crimes that is held morally
responsible by Britain's media or politicians. That honor is reserved for a
nation over 2,000 miles away, Israel.
What if
Christians objecting to the genocide being carried out by ISIS in Iraq, say,
went around in mobs violently menacing Muslim businesses?
A striking feature of the rising tide of anti-Semitism in Britain is the
silence with which the country's leaders are choosing to respond to a growing
climate of hatred and intimidation, directed not only at Jews themselves, but
increasingly anything remotely Jewish.
According to a report published in July by the Community Security Trust,
a charity established to ensure the safety of the Jewish community in 1994,
even though four out of every five anti-Semitic attacks usually take place
"in the main Jewish centers of Greater London and Greater
Manchester," violent assaults against Jews and symbols of Judaism are
also now taking place nationwide.
Has the West Made the next Gaza War Inevitable
by Trevor Norwitz
• August 20, 2014 at 4:00 am
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon is right to say that, "children
killed in their sleep ... is an affront to all of us, a source of universal
shame." No-one can be unmoved by the pictures out of Gaza: the loss of
life, the carnage, the anguish and fear in the faces of women and children.
It is heart breaking. But he is wrong to blame Israel, especially in
such injudicious terms. He, and many others in positions of power and
influence, do a terrible disservice to humanity, to the cause of
international peace and security, and to the Palestinian people (not to
mention the Israeli people), by not stating unequivocally what they know to
be the truth: that overwhelming responsibility for the mayhem in Gaza rests
with Hamas (a part of the Palestinian national unity government).
