Just Peace For Israel

To All Am Israel Message of July 27 2007

Urgent Memo to Gordon Brown

High on the list of the “new priorities” you promised on your first day as Prime Minister must be an end to “The War on Britain’s Jews”

That’s the title of the shocking new television documentary by respected UK journalist Richard Littlejohn which aired last week on Britain’s Channel 4.

Littlejohn’s conclusion after three months weeks of filming across Britain: “It’s open season on the Jews.” The sights and sounds and testimonies captured by “The War on Britain’s Jews” tragically support that conclusion:

• A Jewish eldercare home in Manchester ringed with barbed wire.

Unprovoked attacks on Jews on their way to synagogue.

Jewish cemeteries and memorials repeatedly desecrated.

Anti-Semitic sermons routinely preached at mosques throughout Britain.

Mein Kampf in Arabic openly hawked on London’s exclusive Edgware Road.

Free reign on UK campuses to violent anti-Semitic groups, including “Hizb ut-Tahir,” whose motto is “Jews will be killed wherever they are found.”

A proliferation of “casual anti-Semitism” from left wing British dinner tables to the salons of Islington.

Mr. Prime Minister, there is nothing “casual” about anti-Semitism “Anti-Semitism is on the rise because it’s become acceptable...We’ve seen this before and now it’s resurgent.” Those were the words of MP John Mann of your own Labour Party.

Mr. Prime Minister, the resurgence of that deadly virus must be stamped out – for your sake as well as ours!

To All Am Israel Message of June 15 2007

The Arab Boycott of Israel, still in force, initiated decades ago by the Arab League, even before the Jewish State was reborn, is illegal in the US.

The US government requested recently that the Saudis abandon the boycott in order to qualify for a free trade agreement. The Saudis promised, but never relented.

Now the British clergy and the leaders of the University and College Union, Britain’s largest teachers’ union have embarked on this hostile and dangerous path. This can only mean one thing: that they too, like the Arab-Muslims, want to see Israel and its people isolated and destroyed.

The British government, instead of offering to Israel empty platitudes and hypocritical excuses, could – and must – introduce fast-track legislation to simply outlaw the boycott as the US has done.

The British minister of higher education, Bill Bammell, said last Sunday, on his visit to Jerusalem, that he and many others in Britain – including academics – are opposed to the university teachers’ union boycott, BUT he has a problem with the “occupation.”

The British government’s minister of education knows full well, or should know, that Israel is not “occupying Arab land,” which is the alleged reason for the boycott by the British clergy and the leaders of the university teachers’ union.

Judea and Samaria are Jewish land, not Arab land, all their poisonous propaganda notwithstanding.

Spare us the Hypocrisy
