WHY ARE THE

 

ENGLISH

 

MADE TO FEEL GUILTY ABOUT OUR IDENTITY?

 by

Daily Mail

Thursday, April 21, 2005

 Over the past decade or so there has been a stark change in the way the majority of people in these islands see themselves.

Whereas most living south of Hadrian’s Wall and east Offa’s Dyke used to consider themselves ‘British’, they now consider themselves, instead ‘English’

 

After all, thanks to the cynical devolution policies of our Scottish- dominated Government, the Kingdom is no longer United. ‘Great Britain’ is a geographical term rather than a political fact.

 

And the English, more than five-sixths of the British people, have been bombarded with ostentatious displays of Scots nationalism and Welsh separation -both phenomena for which the English taxpayer is still having to shell out.

 Little wonder, with the Celtic fringe making it clear to the English that they would rather not be associated with us except financially, that we have reassessed our own identity.

 

And little wonder that this should inspire Englishmen such as Tony Bennett, landlord of the Otter pub in Thorpe Marriott, Norfolk, to seek to celebrate St George’s Day this Saturday in a traditional English fashion: with longer drinking hours.

 

Mr Bennett had already successfully obtained an extension to celebrate the Chinese New Year. And he has been assured that, had he applied for an extension to mark St Patrick’s Day, or The Hindu feast of Diwali, he would have been granted one.

 

However, when he sought permission to allow English men and women to celebrate the feast of St. George, Norwich magistrates turned him down. St George’s Day, Mr Bennett was informed by magistrate Roy Church, simply isn’t ‘special’ enough.

 

As an Englishman, I greatly respect the culture and economic contribution that the Welsh, Scottish, Irish, and other minorities such as Asians have made to this country.

 

But throughout the General Election campaign, several prominent politicians have, in search for votes, made the questionable assertion that a ‘diverse’ society-it is no longer politically-correct to talk of a ‘multi-cultural’ one - is better than a monocultural one.

 

This is the prevailing mood among the small out- of- touch clique who rule our country, those who fawn on them, and those who take orders from them.

 

The English, owning as they do the majority culture, are whipping boys for this obsession with diversity. You cannot, after all imagine a less diverse human being than the white, middle-aged male Mr Bennett, swathed in his St. George’s flag, and fulfilling one of the oldest and important functions known to English society: selling ale in his pub.

 

It is all right to celebrate St Patrick’s Day, because the Irish are a historically oppressed minority. A faintly similar case, far more laughable can be made for the feasts of St. Andrew and St.David.

 

And when it comes to celebrating the Chinese New Year, or Diwali, or Ramadan (unlikely, I know, but I include it for the sake of ‘diversity’), the English Establishment can find no objections at all.

 After all, these people are genuine ethnic minorities, the obvious victims of prejudice.

 English politicians and magistrates can thus demonstrate their post-imperial guilt by sanctioning whatever celebrations of such feast days may be required, and taking the much- needed opportunity for some self flagellation about being English into the bargain.

 

Mr Bennett is fuming about this. He is not alone. I am fuming about it, too. And millions of other English men and women will rage at this latest insult to our people, our nation, our traditions, our culture, our way of life, our history, and above all, to our good sense.

 

For we, being fair-minded, know we have as much right to our national and cultural identity as any Irishman, Scotsman. Welshman or Hindu does to his.

 

After all, the reasons adduced by the liberal fascists for our need to feel guilty, and to keep quiet about our national identity, are thoroughly bogus.

 

Our history is not one of oppression, nor of tyranny. Why uniquely among the Great European powers did England avoid revolution in the past 300 years?

 

Was it not, quite simply, because the benign and honest nature of our Constitution and those who implemented it maintained the happiness of the English people?

 

Did not Wales and Scotland benefit greatly from their association with England? Do they not benefit from it greatly still?

 

And have we not gone far-some argue much to far-to try to put right the historic wrongs done in Ireland, wrongs that pale into insignificance compared with what other great powers used to inflict on their minorities?

 

Why is it that nationalism, or the sense and idea of national identity, are entirely acceptable to the liberal fascists when expressed by an Irishman, a Scotsman, a Welshman or a Hindu, but are so unacceptable when expressed by the English?

 

What have we done that is so evil we should hide our culture away? Our crime, quite simply, is to have been so large and so economically successful. The liberal fascists are embarrassed by our power.

 

A

Clownish

Magistrate

 

Who refuses to allow an English publican to serve his customers for an extra hour on the evening of St.George’s Day is either Stupid or has a political agenda of his own.

 

There is a feeling, handed down from the top of the most anti-English Government in our history, that you cannot celebrate Englishness and cannot institutionalise a celebration of Englishness such as the feast of St. George, without being ‘racist’ or ‘diversive’.

 

It may be, of course, that so poorly educated are the new English official class that they cannot understand that

 

English history,

culture and nationalism are something to be proud of: not merely for what they have given us as English people, but for what they have given the world.

 

Either way, the Government’s purpose of creating a society in which minorities are lauded and the English majority are made to feel as bad about themselves as possible is furthered by their actions.

 

To many publican Tony Bennett’s desire to allow his customers to have an hour’s more drinking on St. George’s Day is but a trivial matter. He, and I, would beg to disagree.

 

Our national identity is something to which we have an absolute right to express.

 

For an official of the state [we would say servant of the people] to say that England’s national day is not ‘special’, unlike other similar feasts celebrated by minorities, must be politically motivated as it is illogical.

 

The Government should be warned. The people of England who are being bled white, ignored, exploited and misused by a state machine that clearly detests them, will not have their tempers improved by being treated like pariahs in this way.

 

Never let it be forgotten that it is [New] Labour that let the genie of separate nationalisms out of the bottle in this country by encouraging devolution. We English now want the same rights to self-expression and independence as our fellow Britons.

 

Our nationalism is utterly benign: however, if it is not shown the same respect accorded to others it may not remain so indefinitely.

APRIL/05

 

 

The Tories offer YOU £4 billion - UKIP can offer YOU £40-£100 billion a year-Why wait-Vote UKIP on May 5, 2005.

 

What appears to be lost on many commentators is that the insidious measures taken by the present Government are about one thing, which is also sought by the other political parties in OUR Parliament today and over the past 33 years:

 

It is the ultimate aim to have Britain within a:

 

‘United States of Europe’

 

In order to achieve this objective ALL Governments -Tory - Labour [New Labour] -with the help of LibDems have over the last three decades given away almost all our cherished liberties.

 

The recent Terrorism Bill was passed because George Kennedy and 17 of his party decided not to turn up to vote to defend our Habeas Corpus of our Great Charter -the Magna Carta of 1215.

 

New Labour have flooded the country with as many diverse nationalities in a drive to build up a multicultural society in order to weaken the English national identity in a land which does not appear as England on the EU Regional map of Europe.

 

Many of our cities are suffering from ‘White-Flight’ with many indigenous people leaving the cities in the hands of the large immigration of many -over a million - who have no intention of assimilating into our community but instead are in the process of creating a State within a State.

 

There are now many cities which have from 30 to 45% alien population (could be much higher as many immigrants and asylum seekers have melted into the background -but recently a figure of 500,000 has been mentioned from official sources and there are also the dependents of many of the these

migrants to consider which would put the final figure possibly around - 750,000-could be higher-No one really knows?

 

It has been stated only recently that council taxpayers are paying £3 billion a year for the care of at least 250,000 illegal immigrants [those they know of]

 

Might there be in the future a case for UDI- A Unilateral Demand for Independence by a major conurbation -such as Leicester or Bradford or a number of other cities who will be completely in the hands of those who consider they owe no allegiance to our country.

 

Even today there are ‘No-Go areas’ in all but name where the police keep a very low profile and leave the communities to their own clan leaders.

 

This could all have been avoided if only those peoples from the world who wished to assimilate into our community where accepted with tight control of numbers so that the new peoples are dispersed over the greater part of the country and not creating ghettoes.

 

Unfortunately Tony Blair has in mind only the multiple family votes he will get from his fraudulent postal scheme. His chums in Birmingham and elsewhere have showed him the way.

 

Many immigrants who arrived in our country over forty years ago from the Commonwealth are themselves concerned at the large influxes of the never ending deluge of new immigrants and asylum seekers joining them which is now putting a great strain on their limited resources in THEIR community.

 

We are now warned that a new breed of British Muslim zealot -set on destroying this country who believe that:

‘Freedom is a form of false God or deity and Muslims are obliged to reject anything which is worshipped, obeyed or followed other than Allah’ [Daily Mail-April 23-2005 -THE ENEMY IN OUR MIDST-by Richard Pendlebury.]

 

and there is no doubt there is plenty of material for them to inflame because of the illegal war in Iraq and the actions of politicians over the last three decades in not taking stronger action to control immigration and use more selective measures to ensure that only those who will join us and take a full part in our community were accepted.

 

It has always been Tony Blair’s plan to encourage the break-up of the once United Kingdom into fragments which meant that poor old England being so large had to be divided up into convenient Regions.

 

Well! We know how those plans for Regions are falling a-part thanks to the vigour of the major part of the voting population of the North-East who despite the Pro-Regional stance of the BBC-North-East and pots of money from Government for the ‘Yes’ campaign and the support of a chunk of the business community- with the numerous Blair cronies who had rubbed their hands with delight at the wonderful pickings they would receive -the voters

told Prescott and his cronies to get lost -they preferred their local accountability -Thank you!

 

In order to ensure a trouble free progress into the EU Superstate it was vital for ALL Governments to encourage the politically-correct notions in order to neuter the English people - after all they are a kindly people who will stand anything rather than complain that they have been badly treated. Or is this now to end?

 

So it has not been too difficult for New Labour to have almost completed our enslavement in the New European police state where the many will be at the bid and call of the privileged Elite who have immunity from arrest and so - so many special perks.

 

It is the inaction of the majority of the English people which has made it so easy for politicians of ALL parties to insult us and push us to the brink of Revolution but knowing that many have their eyes on the latest give-away rather than the future of our nation-state of England and it’s Ancient ‘Rights and Liberties’.

 

As much as we loathe Tony Blair and his cronies and want to see the back of them the greater enemy is the large Pro-EU factions in all the parties who when the moment is right will sell us out to a European Super State. It may not be this year or next - but they will not give up.

 

If the English wish to fight back against the repeated insults from the politically-correct brigade which are within All the main parties then why not vote where your vote will hurt them ALL by supporting the only party with a Mandate to leave the EU-

THE UKIP

 

The United Kingdom Independence Party.

www.ukip.org

 

 

And by so doing you will not only send a message to the main parties that you are not happy with the treatment they have meted out to you but there will be a saving of £40-£100 billion a year [Not the measly £4billion from the Tories but the return of our Fishing Fields -No more expensive Common Agricultural Policy which will not only help us but the poor in the world and which will make ALL the other give-aways look poultry by comparison.

 

Whatever bribes you may receive from the other main parties it will mean very little because you will soon have to pay more tax for poorer services and of course the EU dimension will expect to cobble up our £4 billion rebate and there is the increased yearly contribution to the corrupt and unaccountable police state the European Union - after all there are now 10 more open mouths to feed at the trough of plenty at Brussels - funded mainly by the English taxpayer.

 

The time has come for the English people to march into battle to preserve their Country and Identity and there can be no excuse at all because the facts are now clearly visible and the time to make a stand is NOW - to be precise on May 5, 2005 - to give your answer to Tony Blair and all the other Pro-EU factions in the main parties who think you no longer have the bottle to do anything like fight for your Freedom and Identity.

 

LETS PROVE THEM WRONG?

 

On

 

MAY 5 -2005

 

 FINALLY REMEMBER!!!

 

*DID YOU KNOW?

The City of London is governed by the Illuminati-Freemasons and they are governed by their god Lucifer/Satan. The Bank of England owns the Central Banks established around the world, and this is the real power of the modern British Empire.

One example is the United States Federal Reserve Bank , which is wholly owned by the Bank of England and her subsidiaries. Thus the world has been enslaved by the Illuminati-Free-Mason conspiracy which exacts her tribute through interest on their various currencies.

"Historically all British military colonies with white populations such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa were under the authority of the Queen and her Government. Whereas all other brown 'slave' colonies such as India, Egypt, Bermuda, Malta, Singapore, Hong Kong, Gibraltar and the African nations were the private property of the Crown, which is the separate board of the City of London. These colonies were exploited for slave labor and trade, to make the cartels richer and more powerful."

"The Crown" has nothing to do with the Queen. It is a private corporation led by the Illuminati. (See: +(1)+(1)+(1)

1.2million immigrants let in by New Labour since 1998.

Daily Mail

Thursday, September 1-2005

 James Slack

Home Affairs Correspondent

UK visa rules are the softest in the Western World

Labour’s ‘open door’ policy on Immigration has swollen the population of Britain by more than 1.2million in only seven years, a report showed yesterday. [Does not include hundreds of thousands of illegals]

Critics warned that community relations could be at risk if the influx is not slowed down.

Four. Fifths of the population growth from 1997 to last year was a direct result of immigration.

The rate has not allowed enough time for new arrivals to be properly integrated, said MigrationWatch [The Independent watchdog with Sir Andrew Green a previous diplomat to the Middle East]

According to the pressure group’s report, the number of immigrants in that time equal to the population of Birmingham (977,000) and Nottingham (267,000) put together.

[So those who have thought to play down the seriousness of the problem have themselves to blame whether some parts of the Media or the Press or the thousands of politically correct idiots who have GOT US INTO THIS MESS]

 

To continue:

 The rise does not even include those who sneak in illegally every year, or those who overstay their visas.

If they are taken in, it would push the total to well over 200,000 a year -or 2,000,000 each decade.

MigrationWatch chairman Sir Andrew Green said:

‘The failure to integrate our immigrant communities has brought us to a crisis in community relations. With immigration on the present scale it is impossible to achieve effective integration, especially as some immigrants are highly concentrated in particular areas.

‘In a recent BBC/Mori poll 23 per cent of Muslims said the area where they lived did not feel like Britain any more because of immigration.’

Sir Andrew said immigration, not asylum, was NOW the key factors behind the rise in the UK population-which stands at 60million [50 million in England].

Last week, another report revealed that, for the first time, there are 50million people in England alone.

Asylum seekers add around 40,000 to the population every year, but the rest is down to the record number of work permits and visa issued by the HOME OFFICE

 [WE feel that the above department of government should now be renamed the ‘FOREIGN’ OFFICE as its function appears to be in the main to make it easy for flooding the country with terrorists or illegal immigrants and leave the population to take the consequences.

 As we have already said elsewhere the Foreign Office of OUR MAN OF STRAW is also renowned for not doing its job in protecting our people overseas but has no compunction in supporting an illegal war.]

To continue:

Sir Andrew of MIGRATION WATCH said:

 ‘The Government trumpets the recent fall in asylum numbers but other forms of immigration now run FIVE TIMES the level of asylum claims.

‘It is essential to reduce the scale of immigration if we are to have any hope of a reasonably integrated society. This is now the broad approach in Denmark and Holland.

‘ It is late in the day in Britain but we must follow their example while there is still time.’

The MigrationWatch report is based on Government figures

These show that when [New] Labour came into power in 1997, net migration -the number arriving compared with those leaving was 59,000.

It rose steeply from 1998 to 1999, reaching a peak in 2002 -2001 of 194,000.

After dipping slightly for two years to about 150,000, it rose again in 2004 to 187,000.

This means it has directly added since 1997 -to the population 1,075,000, out of a total increase of

I, 521,000

It represents a 71 per cent of the rise, with the rest down to more births than deaths. If children born to migrants after they arrive are added, it reaches

1,239,000

Out of the total rise - or 81 per cent.

A Home Office spokesman said:

‘These figures reflect the reality of globalisation in the 21st century.’

[Well we say to the HOME or is it the ‘Foreign’ Office TELL IT TO THE DANES AND THE DUTCH and get their X X X X COMMENT.]

He further comments:

 ‘Many choose to study work or live for a time outside their home countries in the same way that UK residents spend periods overseas.’

‘Forecasts put forward by MigrationWatch are highly speculative.

‘It has made no allowance for illegal entrants who leave and makes the misleading assumption that the average levels of migration since 1997 will continue over ten years.’

[OUR COMMENTS FOLLOW] 

[We are sure that had the spokesman spared more time to discuss the question in greater depth he would have wallowed in his own confusion. The general public have a choice

(A)     To believe a department of a Government renowned for its Deceit and Lies and Half-Truths.

Or

(B) AN Independent body led by a respected retired diplomat with experience of the procedures of the Home or is it the ‘Foreign’ Office and

who is doing a service to his country in revealing the con-trick being played on the traditionally tolerant people in this country who are now aware of the kind of Government which the new Cabinet Secretary has something to say in our bulletin ‘LOSS of TRUST in NEW LABOUR. (Daily Mail -September 3-2005.)

 There was a statement by the Shadow

Home Secretary -Dictionary meaning of Shadow includes:

Unreal thing; a person or thing wasted away almost to nothing; to hide.
Does this not tell us all we need to know of the CON Party the Can Offer Nothing Party - to the millions of disenchanted voters.

We will not burden you with their statement as it is counter to their attitude during the last General Election when a number of CON MP’s felt Immigration or Europe should not be an Issue and certainly NOT IRAQ.

ONLY P.R. - Proportional Representation will give a voice to millions of voters in the country who had relied on the so-called Conservative Party, which deserted conservative values long ago.

Their CON Party has so many spectrums of opinion within it that is unable to fight the BIG ISSUES because they must NOT be thought to be NASTY.

They deceived many of their loyal followers over the last 32 years and are still doing so.

As the CON PARTY cannot handle the most important issues of the day they deserve to go in decline. Many would say they are the

CAN Offer NOTHING party

They are against P.R. because they know that millions of people who once voted for them would find a Party to fight their corner to victory.

It is a undisputable fact that had the UKIP fought the General Election on P.R. terms they would have had seats in the House of Commons today.

THE CON Party have not learnt the lesson that loyalty to main issues which affect:

OUR CONSTITUTION

OUR FREEDOM

 OUR BORDERS

OUR INTEGRITY

 OUR FREE TRADE WORLD-WIDE

 OUR INDEPENDENT COUNTRY

are the issues of the moment and matter most.

The greater number of Politicians are laughing at the majority of voters in the country because they themselves are pleased with their well-paid jobs and pensions with the best club in town and are protected by the present unfair and undemocratic electoral system to continue to CON the people until the People realise and take action and force the P.R. debate in the country.

 In their cosy Tweedledee and Tweedledum world, which they have no wish to share with others, there will be others who will replace them in OUR House of Commons once P.R.-Proportional Representation brings REAL Democracy in OUR land.]

Words

Enoch would never have uttered

 

by

Andrew Alexander

COLUMN

[Daily Mail- Friday, November 9, 2007]

 

 

THERE is a long standing form of moral evasion popular among politicians - and some journalists too - which has always intrigued me , if only for its

IMPUDENCE

It involves Enoch Powell's so called 'river of blood' speech in 1968, whose recollection has forced the resignation of the Tory candidate for Halesowen and Rowley Regis. The speech itself, incidentally, was notable for understating the prospective immigrant population.

 

'Ah, yes, you see,' the cry of the political elite has long run (I read it again last week),

'It was that speech , that phrase, which made rational discussion of immigration impossible.'

Note the implication that these people had been indulging in a rational debate on immigration only to be thrown off course by Powell's hand-grenade.

Let me assure you with every fibre of my being that a rational discussion was just what leading politicians were avoiding.

THERE WAS A CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE

by both front benches

-which drove Powell to fury.

Far from making thoughtful debate impossible, his speech and reaction made it

VERY URGENT

As an admirer and friend of Powell I was myself dismayed by that sanguinary phrase. But the real shock lay in the public reaction.

Dockers from the East End marched on Westminster demanding  to protest at

TED HEATH

sacking Powell from the Shadow Cabinet.

Opinion polls showed massive backing for Powell, to say nothing of the largest politician's postbag on record, in which the overwhelming majority supported him.

THE CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE

sprang from the fact that the problem had become so daunting. Effective action would have to be on a major scale , admit to previous failures and would risk, indeed ensure, denunciation from every pulpit in the land (lay and clerical)

It was easier for politicians and commentators, all secure in their leafy suburbs, to assure the public that the problem would be solved by

INTEGRATION

NOW, however, the genie was out of the bottle. So in the 1970 Tory manifesto Heath promised

'No further large scale permanent immigration'.

BUT

of course, there was.

 

The 1962 Commonwealth Immigrants Act

 

TOO LITTLE and TOO LATE

had allowed those already here or able to secure work vouchers to bring in their families and 'dependant relatives'.

THEY CAME IN SWARMS

 

PARENTS

GRANDPARENTS

UNCLES

and

SISTERS

and their

COUSINS

and their AUNTS.

They came from the sub-continent where birth certificates were far form common and anyone could claim a blood relationship. Money readily changed hands. So that Tories changed the law to say that only

Spouses

Fiances

and

Fiancees

would be allowed.

 

But by 1976, the level of intercontinental match-making had reached such a level the Foreign Office dispatched a senior official to the sub-continent to assess the

PROBLEM.

He observed that allowing in married and affianced partners would open up a whole new group of applicants -'subsequently entitling

PARENTS

GRANDPARENTS

and allegedly distressed

RELATIVES

to seek entry.

IT WOULD BE LIKE BAILING OUT THE OCEAN.

 

SO AN EFFORT was made to tighten up the rules but it was -how did you guess?

TOO LITTLE-TOO LATE

Since Heath's promise

TO CLOSE THE DOOR

more than

3,000,000

non-British immigrants have arrived

IN THIS COUNTRY

And traffic in spouses between such places such as

BRADFORD and BANGALORE

HAS CONTINUED APACE

 

Two other factors have long overhung any rational debate on

IMMIGRATION

Most obvious, in an echo of the Salem witchcraft trials, has been the tactic of pointing at someone and shrieking

'RACIST'

-the sin against the Holy Ghost - and even calling for

POLICE ACTION

Believe me , this accusation has long scared the wits out of

FLEET STREET EDITORS

-their legal departments

media commentators generally and politicians of every shade.

IT HAS BEEN CENSORSHIP BY ANOTHER NAME

-the public has been duly cowed.

A technical problem has added to this because the word

RACE

is SHORT -and EASY to FIT into a HEADLINE -while IMMIGRATION isn't. So arguments about IMMIGRATION were labelled in innumerable headlines as being about

'RACE'

The other problem which hindered meaningful debate was that immigrants had come to form a grouping of such

SIZE and IDENTITY

that politicians on all sides thought well worth wooing, indeed crawling to.

NOW

David Cameron has woken up, in intervals between sacking Tory front benchers and Tory candidates for 'racism' to the Government's vulnerability on

IMMIGRATION.

Ministers have trebled the number of work vouchers available to foreign workers over ten years to a level running at

150,000 a year

 

Cameron has no serious solution to

IMMIGRATION

but as the saying is, every bit helps.

 

The supreme irony of this week's fuss around Powell's 1968 speech is that recently had our supposedly internationalist Prime Minister promising

'BRITISH JOBS for BRITISH WORKERS.

Enoch would not have touched such a phrase with a bargepole.

[Font Altered-Bolding & Underling Used-Comments in Brackets]

*

[Under PR- Proportional Representation the Immigration levels would have been curtailed because the Government of the Day would feel obliged to take a stronger line in order to gather up the votes and back to power. But as we all know it has been this single-minded attitude of the tripartite in your

HOUSE OF COMMONS

to keep power within their grasp and to hell to any outsiders.

Most of the problems in our society over the past 40 years have occurred because of the determination of the party in power to take what they consider a more lenient line on policy whether it is

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

ABORTION

IMMIGRATION

and no doubt dozens of other matters which has resulted in absolute chaos in the above areas.

If they are able to claw in another small section of the community which will be ready voters they will change anything what ever the consequences to the people and the country.

We have been calling for the introduction of

PR in our PARLIAMENT

for many years as a number of bulletins on our website can testify but the very organisations that could achieve this necessary alteration -the numerous political organisations in our country appear not to be interested. And that is the PROBLEM

and until we change the system we shall see the constant over-regulation by the Government and the hair-brained schemes adopted by the so-called OPPOSITION which lays a path of problems in the future.

Of course if PR had been in place over the last four decades there would not have been the

WAR in IRAQ

or even

Mission Impossible in Afghanistan.

 

The Abortion Bill would only have passed if much greater safeguards had been put in place.

 

Immigration would have been freely discussed and sensible measures adopted to allow controlled entry ONLY and those who were prepared to INTEGRATE and NOT THREATEN the very existence of the COUNTRY that they were adopting.

 

Abolition of Capital Punishment Bill failed to honour the feelings in the country that if the Death Sentence was abolished that MURDER would mean a LIFE SENTENCE where the circumstances warrant it. Even before the abolition of the penalty over 50 per cent of murderers had their sentence commuted to life imprisonment and that didn't mean twelve or even three years or less today. The liberal establishment have much to answer for ,whether in believing that prisons should be five star hotels or that a fine that is never paid is the answer to the increased

MURDERS- GUN /KNIFE CRIME- BURGLARY- ROBBERY-THEFT-ASSAULT and whatever.

 

 

Our so-called Criminal Justice system would have been unable to treat prisoners as visitors and victims as criminals and there would have been Bobbies of the Beat- more prisons, and punishment to fit the crime.

Over the past 40 years the majority of your politicians in

YOUR HOUSE of COMMONS

 have been feathering their own nests to the point today in November 2007 there are many of them on a comfortable

£250,000 [at least] a year.

They fiddle their expenses-They lie about their expenditure-They lie about the true facts of the EU. In fact many of them lie about almost everything. They only work for a little over half a year .They have gold-plated pensions and they will be comfortable for the rest of their lives. As for what happens to their country as far as many of them are concerned our country had never existed.

Of course in such a bedlam there are a small group of men and women of

Honour and Integrity

who alas are ignored by their colleagues -some say they even detest them. Guilty secrets no doubt.

 

As for Europe the lies could not have been hidden if there had been eurosceptic parties at Westminster.  And the CONSPIRACY that has taken place since 1972 would not have been in place and our NATIONHOOD and COUNTRY threatened with extinction as will be the case in your Parliament in the early months of 2008.

PART 16

ISLAMIC AMBITION

In his 1934 book 'Sex and Culture the anthropologist J.D.Unwin studied 86 different cultures from a period of 5,000 years and concluded that chastity and fidelity in "strict marital monogamy" were central to any strong, healthy society. Indeed, no society flourished for more than three generations without it. Britain is now nearing the end of the second generation. Once the third generation was out, the society died, usually by being taken over by another, monogamous people. "I know of no exceptions to this rule.

Could the fiercely monogamous Islam be the culture that takes over from the secular humanist culture of the Western world? Will we see  the establishment of an Islamic State in Britain and the imposition of Sha'ria. This author believes the British Establishment would not  allow such a thing to happen, jealous  as its leaders are of their grip on power.  However, events have a habit  of taking politicians by surprise, and there is no lack  of ambition amongst Muslims.  It is only necessary to look at tower hamlets  to see what happens when 'ordinary Muslims' take power.

Tower Hamlets [in 2005] is 36% Muslim, and yet Muslims are in a majority in the ruling Labour group and on the Council as a whole, and the Mayor is Muslim.  Presumably the Muslim councillors can be regarded as 'ordinary Muslims.' Once in power, they attempted to have  wards renamed to eliminate references to Christianity (Trinity ward disappeared ), and a proposal to twin the London Borough with Jenin, a Palestinian hot-bed of terrorism, was narrowly averted.

The Borough is able to use the funding it allocates to advance Islamic programmes and cultural societies, force the closure of Christian schools and ensure that Muslims control everything for which the local authority has responsibility.

There are 14 Muslim community organisations in partnership with Tower Hamlets Borough Council. In addition to the 2 mosques, the Ahmadiya Muslim Association has as its purpose:

Practising Islamic knowledge... to upkeep a moral society', the junior Muslim Circle provided' religious education' to 8-14 year olds, a Madrassah has 'mother tongue [Arabic?] and study support classes', and the Shahjalal Centre is there  to 'meet the needs of the Muslim community' with 'prayer space' and 'education for children'

Couple Islamic ambition for a Khilafah with a decadent British society whose leaders dare not speak out against Islam or oppose 'multiculturalism', and Islamic advances can be made.  Mosques can be built and expanded, Islamic schools established, cultural centres set up, and large amounts of public money can fund studies which do not benefit the United Kingdom..

To hell with these traitors' yuman rites: RICHARD LITTLEJOHN says it's good to finally have a Defence Secretary who speaks in plain English

By Richard Littlejohn for the Daily Mail

 December 8,2017

Defence Secretary, Gavin Williamson, arrives for the weekly Cabinet meeting last month

This column has long maintained that those who travelled abroad to join Izal should be stripped of both their passports and their citizenship and denied re-entry to this country.

Ideally, they should be put up against a wall and shot through the head in whichever disgusting desert hell-hole they have chosen to make their home.

Failing that they should be blown to Kingdom Come by a drone strike or Hellfire missile.

That’s what I wrote back in October, after the Tory MP Rory Stewart said the only way to deal with home-grown terrorists was to kill them.

It was refreshing to hear a mainstream politician, even if he is only a junior minister, agreeing with me. I’ve been advocating the same hardline approach ever since hundreds of young British citizens flocked to the Middle East to wage holy war.

Fortunately, our new Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson feels the same way. ‘A dead terrorist can’t cause any harm to Britain,’ he told the Mail this week.

Williamson has given his full support to the RAF and special forces who are believed to be working their way through a ‘kill list’ of jihadis before they can bring murder and mayhem back to the streets of Britain.

Reassuringly, he promised: ‘Our job in terms of eliminating them will not stop this year, will not stop next year, it is something we have got to continue to pursue. This is about keeping Britain safe.’

Any who escape with their lives will have their passports taken away to stop them crossing international borders and re-entering this country.

Hallelujah!

At last we’ve got a Defence Secretary who speaks in plain English not just for the Armed Forces, but also for the British people.

Oh, how the old sweats mocked when 41-year-old Williamson, then Chief Whip, was appointed to head the MoD just over a month ago. He’s a wet-behind-the-ears whippersnapper, who knows nothing about defence, they grizzled. Now, though, they can choke on their disdain.
 

In Gavin Williamson, we’ve got a Defence Secretary who speaks in plain English not just for the Armed Forces, but also for the British people, writes Richard Littlejohn

Williamson has already promised a showdown over funding with the Treasury, which would be happy to see the strength of the British Army cut to the bone until it could fit into the back of an armoured personnel carrier — if we’ve got any left.

Spreadsheet Phil, who was Defence Secretary before he became Chancellor, is willing to hand over at least £40 billion (more than Britain’s entire defence budget) to his beloved EU as part of a blackmail — sorry, divorce — payment, while at the same time slashing a further £2 billion from spending on the Armed Forces.

Williamson retaliated by banning Hammond from using the RAF as his own private jet fleet, because the Treasury hasn’t paid the bills.

It might seem petty, but it’s a significant statement of intent. Nothing, repeat nothing, is more vital than the defence of the realm.

Naturally, the hand-wringing yuman rites brigade begs to differ.

 

Some people will try anything to lose weight. A dinner lady from Ipswich has just been nicked for drink-driving after being caught three times over the limit.

In mitigation she said she had been drinking vodka because she heard the property TV presenter Kirstie Allsopp say it had helped her shed a bit of timber.

Some years ago, I had dinner with the late Jeremy Beadle who was on a crash diet before an upcoming series.

It involved eating a plain baked potato three times a day, washed down with a bottle of vodka.

He lost four days.

Max Hill, a liberal QC from central casting, who was hired to review our anti-terror laws, bleats that home-grown jihadis are guilty of nothing more than ‘naivety’ and should be allowed to come home and be ‘reintegrated’ into society. Hundreds have been able to drift back to Britain already.

It emerged yesterday that MI5 only has the capacity to monitor round the clock 50 or 60 of those considered the greatest threat.

Yet how much safer this country would be if they could all have been killed before they had the chance to ‘reintegrate’ themselves by blowing up a Tube train, mowing down pedestrians in a stolen van or stabbing to death late-night revellers.

The Left are predictably squealing with outrage over Williamson’s remarks. Labour claims that ‘eliminating’ these terrorists is extra-judicial murder and in breach of the Geneva Convention.

But the Geneva Convention was designed for conventional warfare. It should apply only to those who agree to abide by the Geneva Convention. Izal may call itself a ‘state’ and rally behind a fancy flag, but it is little more than a gang of bloodthirsty desperados who get high on torture, rape and mass murder.

Calling them ‘combatants’ is too polite. I don’t even accept they’re ‘British’, even if they were born here and carry British passports.

They could not be further removed from the vast majority of loyal and law-abiding British Muslims living here.

These jihadis are not our ‘fellow citizens’; they’re traitors — our sworn enemies.

Their allegiance is to an international terrorist organisation and their own warped interpretation of a global religion.

As Gavin Williamson says: ‘They hate everything that Britain stands for, hate our values, hate that Britain is a beacon to the world of democracy and tolerance.’

The sooner they are all wiped off the face of the earth, the better.

Orchestral manoeuvres

Having exposed so much ‘inappropriate’ behaviour in politics, entertainment and the media, the torchlit ‘historic’ sex crimes posse have turned their attention to the world of classical music.

James Levine, conductor of the Metropolitan Opera in New York, has been suspended following a complaint that he had sexual contact with a teenager in 1986. 

Given that where America leads, Britain follows, it can only be a matter of time before the Jimmy Savile squad gets in on the act.

 

James Levine, conductor of the Metropolitan Opera in New York, has been suspended following a complaint that he had sexual contact with a teenager in 1986

How long until we see a senior police officer standing outside the Albert Hall, appealing for ‘victims’ of Sir Henry Wood to come forward?

Soon they’ll be rounding up dozens of violinists, oboe and piccolo players, accused of ‘historic’ offences in the orchestra pit. We’ll have to learn a whole new meaning for the expression ‘fiddler’s elbow’.

An African migrant jailed twice for sex attacks in Britain has been awarded £110,000 compensation after his own country refused to take him back.

Eh? Just run that by me again. In what parallel universe are British taxpayers forced to give a small fortune to a foreign criminal we are trying to kick out of the country? How did that happen?

Aliou Bah, 28, came here from Guinea in 2007 to join his father. He was subsequently convicted of two sexual assaults, for which he was sentenced to 18 months and two years respectively.

Since the end of the second sentence he has been held for 21 months in an immigration detention centre while the authorities tried to deport him. But Guinea said they didn’t want him and simply refused to process his travel documents. It turns out we haven’t been able to deport anyone to Guinea since 2006.

And because he had previously been granted asylum, a court has ruled that he was detained unlawfully. Even the judge thought it was insane, but rules is rules.

I’m assuming that Bah has also received tens of thousands of pounds in legal aid, not just for defending him in the two sex cases, but also to bring his claim for compensation.

Meanwhile, neither of his victims has received a penny and yet he has been released back on to the streets, where he could strike again, with a cheque for 110 grand in his back pocket.

Apparently, there are almost 6,000 convicted foreign criminals free in this country, all of whom have been released despite being candidates for deportation.

We don’t even know where some of them have come from. Hundreds have simply vanished.

Soft-touch Britain? You couldn’t make it up.

One of the unalloyed joys of the freedom of movement has been the way our city centres have been transformed by colourful newcomers, who make such a valuable contribution to our society.

Where would we be without the gangs of exotic Eastern European gypsies who have set up camp here?

Only this week, Roma beggars surrounded Prince and Princess Michael of Kent as they left a Mayfair nightclub. The Prince gave them a tenner, but they kept pestering him.

Mayfair is a popular pitch, where beggars believe there are rich pickings. And it’s not just foreigners, either. My wife and a friend were walking through the area last week, not far from Claridge’s hotel, when they were accosted by a vagrant with a broad Glaswegian accent.

‘Hey, missus. Can ya spare twenty-five thousand pound?’

When they stopped laughing, they gave him a quid.

We British Muslims have got to speak OUT!

by

Dr Taj Hargey-Director of the Muslim Educational Centre in Oxford.

THERE is nothing in ISLAM that CAN JUSTIFY the taking of an INNOCENT LIFE,  NOTHING that CAN CONDONE what MURDEROUS ISLAMIC STATE FANATICS have DONE in its NAME. This GANG of CRIMINALS has brought OUR FAITH into GRAVE DISPUTE and BESMIRCHED its HONOUR.

Muslim leaders must act before it is

TO LATE!

We must demonstrate that this horrendous slaughter in Paris was not sanctioned by us or perpetuated with our blessing.  And we must prove to young impressionable Muslims that

WE DO NOT CONDONE THIS CARNAGE

The French Muslim community should have acked morwe assertively already. They should be marching in the streets, chanting

' NOT IN MY NAME!

,NOT IN THE NAME OF ISLAM

But instead, there is an eerie

SILENCE

They are doing nothing tangible to oppose the

POLITICAL IDEOLOGY

from

SAUDI ARABIA

and which sadly has infected

EUROPEAN ISLAM

In Great britain, the Muslim Council of Britain, the Islamic Society of Britain should be bussing in Muslims from SCotland, Wal;es, all over the United Kingdom to

PROTEST in our CAPITAL

at what happened. They should be organising a mass

NOT in our NAME'

March of all Muslims, irrespective of sect or denomination, condemning IS unreservedly for all it stands for.

A tiny rally in

TRAVALGAR SQUARE

on Saturday night  is not good enough. Prominent Muslim organisations need to

SPEARHEAD the FIGHT

against

IS

and the ugliness and intolerance

THAT IT REPRESENTS.

Juicy pomegranates are piled outside the entrance to a supermarket in Norrebro, a district of Copenhagen. There are queues of customers at the till most of the day and into the early hours, buying Middle Eastern pastries, exotic fruit, dates and ice-cream which remind them of home.

Yet beside the pomegranates is a deep hole in the metal door frame. It was made one night by a bullet fired from a 9mm pistol by a member of a drug gang guarding his trading pitch near by.

Ismail Schbaita, a 55-year-old originally from Palestine who helps runs the supermarket, remembers the chilling moment last March only too well. ‘The gunman was high on drugs. Luckily, his bullet missed the staff and the customers. Gangs are always shooting each other around here.’

For Norrebro is a dangerous area of the Danish capital. A stone’s throw from the supermarket is the city’s most notorious housing estate, Mjolnerparken, where mothers told me this week they are afraid to let their children walk to the sweet shop alone because of the knifings and shootings.

Mjolnerparken, with its drab apartment blocks and shabby streets, has been categorised as a ghetto by the Danish Government.

These ghettos are due to be ‘eradicated’ by 2030, following the introduction of controversial laws aimed at protecting ‘Danishness’ and ridding the country of so-called ‘parallel’ societies (pictured: Mjolnerparken)

Across the country, 21 other such places with high crime rates, soaring unemployment and more than 50 per cent non-Western residents have been given the same name. They are due to be ‘eradicated’ by 2030, following the introduction of controversial laws aimed at protecting ‘Danishness’ and ridding the country of so-called ‘parallel’ societies.

Later this year, legislation will force all families living in these ghettos to send their toddlers, as young as one year old, to approved day centres to learn the Danish language and Danish values.

The children will have to complete 25 hours of compulsory state education and, while the primary focus will be on language skills and learning, the plan is to educate the mainly Muslim children in the Danish way of life, as well as to give instruction on religious holidays, Christmas and Easter, and their importance in the Christian calendar.

Parents who fail to sign up have been told they could lose their child benefits.

This is the radical policy of a government that, like so many others in Europe, has accepted hundreds of thousands of migrants over recent years and is trying desperately to tackle the problems of integration. Indeed, the challenges Denmark is wrestling with are replicated across the EU as countries including Greece, Italy, Austria and Germany struggle to assimilate large numbers of

 

 

 

 

One disturbing common factor in these countries has been the emergence of strong far-Right political parties, and a return of the kind of ugly nationalism many hoped had died after World War II.

Denmark has long been proud of its reputation as a liberal, tolerant nation. But the fact that it has been forced to introduce tough laws to accelerate integration of migrants shows such tolerance has its limits.

Inevitably, some say the new laws are ‘racist’. They include a burka ban from next month, with fines of up to £1,200 for repeat transgressors. In the inner-city ghettos — where last year two thirds of residents were non-Western immigrants — there will be double the normal penalties for those who commit crimes.

Police will be given the freedom to conduct more intense surveillance of residents in order to curb extremism and violence, while migrant parents who send older children on trips back to their home countries in the Middle East and Africa could face four-year jail sentences if suspected of radicalisation.

The centre-Right Prime Minister, Lars Lokke Rasmussen, says these new laws are necessary because the number of first and second-generation non-Western immigrants has grown from 50,000 in 1980 to almost 500,000 today — a sizeable proportion, in a country of only 5.7 million people.

Rasmussen has said: ‘People with the same problems have clumped together. We have (until now) let it go, perhaps with the naive idea that integration would happen on its own over time ... but it hasn’t.’

 

Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen says these new laws are necessary because the number of first and second-generation non-Western immigrants has grown from 50,000 in 1980 to almost 500,000 today — a sizeable proportion, in a country of only 5.7 million people 

Inger Stojberg, the hardline integration minister, has gone further. The crackdown on ghettos — a word with awful Nazi overtones, to which the Danish policymakers seem oblivious — is a centrepiece of her legislative reforms.

When Stojberg clocked up her 50th amendment to the laws relating to migrants, she baked a celebratory cake and posted a smiling picture of herself with it online.

All this sounds very un-Danish. Yet more and more people here — even some migrants — seem to agree with her. Mr Schbaita, at the bullet-hit supermarket, told me: ‘It is too late to stop the problem of parallel societies in my lifetime. But I hope the new laws will help future generations live together.

‘The problems in the ghettos are caused by ignorance about Western ways and a lack of education.’

He says employers won’t hire anyone who says they live in Mjolnerparken. This means the residents are often poor, at a loose end and ‘turn to crime’.

He says migrants were originally placed in Mjolnerparken because the Government wanted to give the mainly Muslim incomers a sense of community. ‘It was a humanitarian act, a kindness. But now the politicians are asking what went wrong in this part of town.’

Mr Schbaita left Palestine for Moscow to train as a pharmacist before arriving in Denmark, where he married a fellow Muslim and raised a family.

His solution to the problems is to pull down the ghettos. But he is concerned that the new laws are being pushed by a small political elite who unfairly blame Muslims for all the country’s wrongs.

He may be right. Yet indigenous Danes have shown remarkable enthusiasm for the changes.

One of Inger Stojberg’s most popular ideas is for migrants who have lived in Denmark for more than three years to pay for translators’ services when visiting a doctor, rather than relying on the State.

She says: ‘Unless we dare to make demands on foreigners, we will fail to address the serious problems of parallel societies where people neither work nor speak the language and don’t have Danish values.

‘A good place to start is to give back responsibility to those who have come here: learn the language or pay for your interpreter.’

In a poll by the newspaper B.T., 93 per cent of Danes questioned agreed with the minister’s plan.

Miles away from the ghettos, on the outskirts of Copenhagen, there are quiet, well-ordered towns where daily life appears, at first glance, untroubled by the controversies over migration.

One of them is Hvidovre, where there is no mosque and the old Protestant church with the Danish flag flying proudly outside on a manicured lawn has a flourishing 7,000-strong membership.

Yet even here immigration is a heated topic.

‘People are afraid of the consequences,’ said Annette Bjerregaard, 54, who works at the church. ‘If they feel people are integrating, they are positive. If not, they are not so positive.’

Annette’s son went to what was known among local Danes as ‘the white school’, where all the pupils were ethnic Danes. In this part of town there are neat privately owned homes, shops and pavement cafes.

Yet a mile away in a poorer part of Hvidovre it is very different. Here 5,000 people, both foreigners and Danes, live together in a sprawling council-run housing estate.

Larry Ellis, a debonair 65-year-old resident with a shock of white hair, works as a gardener at the local university. Having finished his shift, he is relaxing with friends outside the estate’s community centre.

They all agree there are too many migrants coming to Denmark. ‘That is the problem and it has not been addressed for years,’ he says.

‘Even here, we are housed in different parts of the estate to the migrants. The council has put ethnic Danes in blocks on one side of the road and Muslims in blocks on the other. We just don’t mix, and religion is part of it.’

This does not bode well for the Government’s efforts to encourage integration. And indeed, some Danes want to crack down against migrants still harder.

As the mainstream politicians react to a growing sense of disillusion about mass migration, a new party led by a 42-year-old architect called Pernille Vermund has seized the moment.

The divorced mother of three, who lives far from the Copenhagen ghettos, hopes her party — the New Right — will gain seats in elections next year on a hardline anti-migrant manifesto.

It calls for the residence permit of any ‘foreigner convicted in court’ to be withdrawn and for no more welfare benefits, housing subsidies and other state payments to anyone except Danish citizens.

She told me: ‘Politicians for decades have let people into our country who do not share our values. They do not assimilate. Now the politicians make a patchwork of rules to try to correct their own mistakes. Forcing Muslim mothers to deliver their toddlers into state-run daycare is not going to make them Danish, or less Muslim. It simply will not work.’

Her views would have been condemned as xenophobic extremism in liberal Denmark a few years ago. But mass immigration has hardened attitudes.

Politicians fear that if they ignore the problem, they will lose ground to parties such as the New Right.

Back in Mjolnerparken, where 1,752 people of 38 nationalities live cheek by jowl, I meet one of the community elders.

An Iraqi Kurd by birth, smartly dressed Taher Mustafah, 59, came to Denmark in 1985. He has worked for years as a civil servant and helped run an Islamic charity.

We stand on a busy street corner to chat, as Danish girls in skimpy shorts cycle past women with veiled faces shepherding children along pavements, closely watched over by their husbands. Truly, it is a stark clash of cultures.

Taher looks at one of the veiled women and shakes his head.

‘I know her,’ he says. ‘She is Tunisian and her husband is an Iraqi. My view is that if you live in a country, you should show respect for the society in which you live. She should not wear the burka here in Denmark and soon she will not be allowed to.’

Yet nearby, in an Iraqi-owned cafe, I hear a different opinion from an Iraqi migrant father called Jaber Saleh, 40, who is eating a pitta bread-and-hummus lunch with his wife Farah, 29, and son Hassan, six.

The Salehs are angry with the Danish Government. Despite living and working here as a truck driver for 17 years, Jaber has still not been granted citizenship.

Since the day he arrived, he has clung to his roots. He sent his son to an Arabic school in Copenhagen until it was closed by the Government, which accused some staff of having links to terrorism.

‘The Government was wrong,’ says Jaber. ‘It was a good school where Hassan was taught in the Arabic language, not Danish, and he learnt the Koran. He speaks Arabic at home and has no Danish friends, and I am pleased about that. I don’t want him to learn from them bad things, the swearing, the low moral code of Denmark.

‘This society is too lax. I will do anything to avoid my son learning the values of Denmark.’

As I help Hassan write his name in the English alphabet in my notebook, I wonder what life will bring for this bright, well-behaved child, growing up torn between two cultures.

His family are not preparing him for life as a Dane and, in a rapidly changing country, he may never be accepted as one even if he wishes to be.

And that surely spells trouble for him and his adopted nation.

SHADOW OF A BLOODY PAST

SATURDAY

ESSAY

by

Tom Holland

For centuries, Islam and Christianity were locked in a brutal conflict most have forgotten. The horror, a top historian argues, is that for jihadis it's as real today as it was in the Middle Ages.

 

EXTRACT

...year after year, Turkish forces probed Christian defences, crossing the plains of Hungary or churning the waters off Malta with their warships. In 1529 and again in 1683, an Ottoman army almost took Vienna.

Yet that was to be the last great attempt to extend the Caliphate across Europe. The global balance of power was shifting, and nearly a millennium of Muslim preponderance was drawing to a close.

It was the Christians who colonised America, established trading empires that spanned the globe and started the process of industrialisation.  By the 19th century with India ruled by the British Raj and the Islamic Ottoman Empire scorned in Western capitals as 'the sick man of Europe', Muslims could no longer close their eyes to the sheer scale of their decline.

It was they who were now the imperial subjects, and Islam the civilisation looked down on by its adversaries as backward, as Christendom had once been.

Ever since the first days of their faith, Muslims had tended to take for granted that its truth was manifest in its worldly success.

As a result, subordinated to the infidel British or French there were many in the Muslim world who looked to the golden age of the Caliphate for their  inspiration.

The age of Muhammad and his successors, which had seen Islam emerge from desert obscurity tom global empire, was enshrined as the model to follow. Over recent decades resentment at continued Western interventions in Muslin countries such as Afghanistan and Iraq have only burnished the appeal of the glorious past.

Today, according to a poll some two-thirds of Muslims worldwide want to see the

RESTORATION of a CALIPHATE

It is not empires per se they are apposed to -just

NON-ISLAMIC EMPIRES

Hardly surprising then that al-Qaeda and ISIS should be so obsessed by periods of history that to most Westerners are thoroughly obscure.

That Constantinople

has been a Muslim city for almost 600 years, that the Crusades are done and dusted and that Europe no longer defines itself as Christendom, barely intrudes on the consciousness of many jihadis.

They inhabit a mental landscape in which the Middle Ages never went away. The menace of this way of thinking is brutally evident-a world in which young people murdered a rock concert, can be cursed as 'Crusaders' is a world on the verge of going mad.

It is not just non-Muslims who are threatened by this imperialist nostalgia.

 'Either you are with the Crusade, 'ISIS has warned European Muslims,' or you are with ISLAM

Anti-Semitism And The Pro Israel Lobby — 1

In this 3 part report I’ll investigate the powerful pro Israel lobby, which has had an impressive global presence almost since the inception of Israel as a state.

In the first part I’ll look at the history of anti-Semitism and how it became deeply ingrained within Christianity, leading to widespread persecution of Jews.

After citing an overview of Paulo Freire’s work, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, I discuss how this could be relevant to the emergence of the Zionist movement and also how it could equally offer a foundation for a non violent reconstruction of Palestinian society.

I then look at how a modern more sophisticated globalised Israel lobby emerged in the wake of the second Intifada.

The second part will look at what makes the Israel lobby tick, the various techniques and tactics used by Public Relations actors and how anti-Semitism is being used as a tool to distract attention away from Israeli atrocities.

Part 3 analyses the media approach to the conflict and how a complicit corporate media disseminates ‘fake news’ and propaganda.

According to the Israel lobby, criticism of the State of Israel constitutes anti Semitism. It is a charge that is completely irrational and has no context whatsoever. It effectively means that taking a political viewpoint on Israeli policies constitutes a form of racism. It is a charge that is both arrogant and dangerous.

A definition

According to the UK Government there is an ‘absence of an agreed international definition of antisemitism.’ On the website, the Government reproduces a ‘working definition of antisemitism’ from the UK’s College of Policing. It makes references to criticism of the State of Israel. However it does make this clear statement that:

‘criticism of Israel similar to that levelled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic. Antisemitic acts are criminal when they are so defined by law (for example, denial of the Holocaust or distribution of antisemitic materials in some countries).’

It goes on to say that

‘Antisemitic discrimination is the denial to Jews of opportunities or services available to others and is illegal in many countries.’

The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) is another body that has adopted a working definition of anti-Semitism. The role of the IHRA is to ‘place political and social leaders’ support behind the need for Holocaust education, remembrance and research both nationally and internationally.’

The definition is as follows:

“Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”

Not surprisingly, Israel is a member of the IHRA. As such, the country would have agreed to the adoption of the above definition. However just like the police definition above, criticism of the State of Israel is linked into the guidance:

‘Manifestations might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic. Antisemitism frequently charges Jews with conspiring to harm humanity, and it is often used to blame Jews for “why things go wrong.” It is expressed in speech, writing, visual forms and action, and employs sinister stereotypes and negative character traits.’

Its pretty clear from the above definitions that criticism of Israel can only be regarded as anti-Semitic if there is an element of racism that targets Jews specifically. More often than not, criticism of Israel falls into the ‘similar to that levelled against any other country’ category, but is then intentionally or otherwise conflated with anti-Semitism.

The Holocaust

The Nazi Holocaust and persecution of Jews before and during world war 2 is a vital essence of Israeli culture. And of course it has a great deal of significance to Jews, regardless of their association with Israel. The word ‘shoah’ has become the Hebrew term for the holocaust and is used to specifically refer to the Nazi holocaust.

However from a historical perspective, limiting the definition of the holocaust to encompass Jews only, could be regarded as a narrow definition. A broader definition encompasses other ethnic groups such as Romani, Poles, other Slavic ethnic groups, mentally and physically disabled people, Soviets, prisoners of war, homosexuals, black people, political opponents of the Nazis, and members of other groups that didn’t measure up to the Nazis racial profiling. In other words a more accurate definition of the holocaust would account for the full spectrum of persecution of all peoples targeted by the Nazis.

The book The Columbia Guide to the Holocaust considers many aspects of the holocaust.

This does not of course detract from the deliberate, systematic and specific treatment of Jews within the context of the ‘final solution’, a Nazi term used in the phrase ‘Final Solution to the Jewish Question’. This was actually a Nazi code name for the plan to murder all Jews within reach, and was not limited to the European continent. This form of ‘industrialised murder’ where Jews were rounded up en masse and sent to extermination camps was unprecedented in history.

There’s no doubt that an extreme form of anti-Semitism had developed in Germany. Understanding the roots of this issue is an important prerequisite in understanding the status of Israel as a ‘Jewish state’.

Historic Persecution

The roots of anti-Semitism stem from the Christian belief that the Jews were responsible for rejecting and killing Jesus Christ.

In A viewers Guide to contemporary Passion Plays, an explanation is offered on the background to productions such as The Passion of Christ. The paper goes on to define anti-Semitism and the reasons behind Jewish persecution. In essence, Jewish persecution had become a component of the Christian faith. It is defined thus:

‘In the Gospel of Matthew, when Pilate declares himself innocent of Jesus’ death, it is said, “And all the people answered, ‘His blood be on us and on our children!“ (Mtth 27:25). Over the course of time, Christians began to accept this interpretation of the crucifixion to mean that the Jewish people as a whole were responsible for killing Jesus. According to this interpretation, both the Jews present at Jesus’ death and the Jewish people collectively and for all time, have committed the sin of deicide, or God- killing. For 1900 years of Christian-Jewish history, the charge of deicide has led to hatred, violence against and murder of Jews in Europe and America.

The charge that the Jews killed Christ/God gave rise to a belief that Jews were inhuman. They were often portrayed in Christian art and commentary as demons, complete with fangs and hooves, committing hideous crimes against Christians. The Jew, historically the object of derision and animosity, became the living incarnation of Satan. Holy Week, the week beginning with Palm Sunday and culminating with Easter, became a particularly dangerous time for Jews, as Christians perpetrated violence against Jews living in their communities.’

As a result, anti-Semitism became deeply rooted in Christian culture and its influences. The fall out from this was widespread persecution of Jews through the middle ages and beyond up until the present day, where Jews were used as scapegoats whenever some calamity occurred.

The paper points out though that from a historical perspective, Jesus was tried and convicted under Roman law. Jews played no part in that process.

In 1962, the Vatican ‘officially repudiated the charge of deicide against the Jews, as well as all forms of anti-Semitism.’ Other Christian Groups followed suit following this high level decision within the Catholic Church.

But despite recognition of historical misinterpretations, including references within the Gospels, anti-Semitism still prevails within certain Groups.

Taking account of the widespread historical persecution of Jewish communities, the actions of Nazi Germany are not unique.

Another key component that played a role in Jewish persecution was the accusation of blood libel.

In essence, blood libel (or accusation) is an accusation that Jews kidnapped and murdered the children of Christians in order to use their blood as part of their religious rituals during Jewish holidays. This revolved around the baking of matzos (an unleavened flatbread that is used during Passover) using the blood as an ingredient in the bread.

This accusation has no basis in fact and is based on heresy, surrounded by stereotypical notions of Jews. Origins of the phenomenon are discussed in the article Blood Accussation from the Jewish Encyclopedia. The article notes:

‘The origin of the blood accusation has not yet been discovered. The annals of Erfurt state that the Jews used waxed sacks (“in saccis cera linitis”) for collecting the blood of the children killed at Fulda in Dec., 1235. According to the Marbach annals (also contemporaneous with the event) the Jews confessed that they wished to utilize the blood for remedial purposes. The annals also state that the emperor Frederick II. (as mentioned above) consulted a number of distinguished converted Jews in order to ascertain whether the Jews required Christian blood on Parasceve — a term frequently used to designate Good Friday. As early as the twelfth century it was several times reported that the Jews had crucified Christian children during Easter (e.g., William of Norwich, 1144, see above; Gloucester, 1171; Blois, 1179; Richard of Paris, in Pontoise). Whether all or part of these reports agree with the facts, or are alike unworthy of credence, the theory of a ritual murder is in no case justified; and, if the accounts are historical, it can only be assumed that the Jews in one instance or on several occasions put Christians to death. A ritualistic feature was imparted to these real or supposed crucifixions or other murders of Christians, and especially of Christian children, by the suggestions: (1) that the murders involved the acquisition of blood; and (2) that the crimes were related to the Passover festival.’

Another slant at Jewish persecution and its origins comes from this article from National Geographic. It describes the discovery of The Judas Gospel, which along with other Gospels not published in the Bible offers a different portrayal of early Christianity.

The article sums up the contrasting role of Judas as Christ’s closest Apostle compared to the accepted narrative and how he became a scapegoat for the Jews:

‘There is a sinister backdrop to traditional depictions of Judas. As Christianity distanced itself from its origins as a Jewish sect, Christian thinkers found it increasingly convenient to blame the Jews as a people for the arrest and execution of Christ, and to cast Judas as the archetypal Jew. The four Gospels, for example, treat Roman governor Pontius Pilate gently while condemning Judas and the Jewish high priests.

The “secret account” gives us a very different Judas. In this version, he is a hero. Unlike the other disciples, he truly understands Christ’s message. In handing Jesus over to the authorities, he is doing his leader’s bidding, knowing full well the fate he will bring on himself. Jesus warns him: “You will be cursed.”’

In essence, Christianity was a breakaway sect of Judaism, which in turn formed other factions with different views of Jesus and His relationship with the Apostles, especially Judas. That was ultimately reflected in the dominant hierarchical Group, which painted Judas into a corner as a despicable Jew in order to vilify the religion they rejected. As such, anything that contradicted that narrative was rejected. The rest — as they say — is history.

A translation of the Gospel was published by National Geographic.

The Oppressed Become The Oppressor

One of the most important works in the realm of oppression, is Paulo Freire’s, Pedagogy of the Oppressed.

In his book, Freire analyses the relationship between the oppressor and the oppressed.

He argues that through the process of liberation ‘the oppressed, instead of striving for liberation, tend themselves to become oppressors, or “sub-oppressors.’ He goes on to say:

‘Their ideal is to be men; but for them, to be men is to be oppressors. This is their model of humanity. This phenomenon derives from the fact that the oppressed, at a certain moment of their existential experience, adopt an attitude of “adhesion” to the oppressor. Under these circumstances they cannot “consider” him sufficiently clearly to objectivize him — to discover him “outside” themselves. This does not necessarily mean that the oppressed are unaware that they are downtrodden. But their perception of themselves as oppressed is impaired by their submersion in the reality of oppression. At this level, their perception of themselves as opposites of the oppressor does not yet signify engagement in a struggle to overcome the contradiction; the one pole aspires not to liberation, but to identification with its opposite pole.’

Essentially, because people have been exposed persistently to oppression, they know nothing else. As such they have adopted the mindset of the oppressor. They then model their own existence on that of the oppressor.

Freire discusses the paradox of freedom. Freedom being the ultimate goal, it nevertheless becomes something to be feared. Having developed a dependency on the oppressor, how does freedom transform into independence? Ultimately this boils down to education — something that Freire goes into considerable detail in his book — and the perception of a critical reality that Freire calls the oppressor-oppressed contradiction.

The oppressor also needs to change his outlook. That means breaking the chains of power and altering what is essentially a false reality, a condition that affects oppressed and oppressor alike:

‘A different type of false perception occurs when a change in objective reality would threaten the individual or class interests of the perceiver. In the first instance, there is no critical intervention in reality because that reality is fictitious; there is none in the second instance because intervention would contradict the class interests of the perceiver In the latter case the tendency of the perceiver is to behave “neurotically.” The fact exists; but both the fact and
what may result from it may be prejudicial to the person. Thus it becomes necessary not precisely to deny the fact, but to “see it differently.” This rationalization as a defense mechanism coincides in the end with subjectivism. A fact which is not denied but whose truths are rationalized loses its objective base. It ceases to be concrete and becomes a myth created in defense of the class of the perceiver.

Herein lies one of the reasons for the prohibitions and the difficulties designed to dissuade the people from critical intervention in reality. The oppressor knows full well that this intervention would not be to his interest. What is to his interest is for the people to continue in a state of submersion, impotent in the face of oppressive reality.’

Freire discusses the root source of oppression as coming from the ruling classes, who impose their power through the use of violence. ‘Once a situation of violence and oppression has been established, it engenders an entire way of life and behavior for those caught up in it — oppressors and oppressed alike. Both are submerged in this situation, and both bear the marks of oppression.’

Freire then sums the mindset of the oppressor perfectly:

‘The oppressor consciousness tends to transform everything surrounding it into an object of its domination. The earth, property, production, the creations of people, people themselves, time — everything is reduced to the status of objects at its disposal.’

He notes their ‘strictly materialistic concept of existence’ and the fact that ‘Money is the measure of all things, and profit the primary goal’.

‘As beneficiaries of a situation of oppression, the oppressors cannot perceive that if having is a condition of being, it is a necessary condition for all women and men. This is why their generosity is false. Humanity is a “thing” and they possess it as an exclusive right, as inherited property. To the oppressor consciousness, the humanization of the “others,” of the people, appears not as the pursuit of full humanity; but as subversion.’

Freire then analyses the student/teacher relationship. The terms student/teacher can have a universal context. His key analysis is the sterility of education, in which a narrative is dispensed to the student. As such:

‘Narration (with the teacher as narrator) leads the students to memorize mechanically the narrated content. Worse yet, it turns them into “containers,” into “receptacles” to be “filled” by the teacher. The more completely she fills the receptacles, the better a teacher she is. The more meekly the receptacles permit themselves to be filled, the better students they are.

Education thus becomes an act of depositing, in which the students are the depositories and the teacher is the depositor. Instead of communicating, the teacher issues communiques and makes deposits which the students patiently receive, memorize, and repeat. This is the “banking” concept of education, in which the scope of action allowed to the students extends only as far as receiving, filing, and storing the deposits.’

This Freire argues is a process of

‘Projecting an absolute ignorance onto others, a characteristic of the ideology of oppression, negates education and knowledge as processes of inquiry. The teacher presents himself to his students as their necessary opposite; by considering their ignorance absolute, he justifies his own existence.’

In short, the dissemination of information is controlled by the ruling classes through a narrative that is designed to further their own interests (see below).

Having been systematically ‘programmed’, those who have been ‘educated’ will then disseminate the ‘program’ to others as they have no other base from which to refer to.

The solution to this problem is to alter the relationship between Teacher/Student where ‘no one teaches another, nor is anyone self-taught. People teach each other’. This means

‘They become jointly responsible for a process in which all grow. In this process, arguments based on “authority”are no longer valid.’

Freire sums up his analysis:

‘Once again, the two educational concepts and practices under analysis come into conflict. Banking education (for obvious reasons) attempts, by mythicizing reality, to conceal certain facts which explain the way human beings exist in the world; problem-posing education sets itself the task of demythologizing. Banking education resists dialogue; problem-posing education regards dialogue as indispensable to the act of cognition which unveils reality. Banking education treats students as objects of assistance; problem-posing education makes them critical thinkers. Banking education inhibits creativity and domesticates (although it cannot completely destroy) the intentionality of consciousness by isolating consciousness from the world, thereby denying people their ontological and historical vocation of becoming more fully human. Problem-posing education bases itself on creativity and stimulates true reflection and action upon reality, thereby responding to the vocation of persons as beings who are authentic only when engaged in inquiry and creative transformation.’

There is a parallel in Freire’s analysis to the emergence of the Zionist movement. Then there is the development of the state of Israel itself, where ordinary Israeli’s may not be repressed but are kept in ignorance from the roots of Israel’s formation.

Freire also speaks in terms of what he calls ‘reversing the poles’ in which the oppressed become what they have tried to escape. The subjugation of the Palestinians is such an example, which ultimately led to the ‘Jewish State,’ a phrase that implies a form of racial superiority.

Freire’s narrative can also be relevant to the Palestinians in seeking to break the yolk of the occupation, in building a transformative grassroots movement that is non violent and may lead to genuine freedom for the Palestinians. Indeed such a process is already underway, as will be discussed later below.

Much of what Freire focuses on would be regarded as propaganda. That’s the subject of the next section.

The Pro Israel Lobby

Public Relations and propaganda is almost as old as history itself. The term propaganda comes from Pope Gregory XV, when he created the Congregatio de Propaganda (“congregation for propagating the faith”).

Modern PR emerged early in the last century. An article from the New York Times looks at some of the pioneers of PR in the 20th Century.

Ivy Lee was one of the earlier developers of PR. Lee was hired by John D. Rockefeller, who established the Standard Oil Company, which ultimately became one of the most successful corporate entities in the world.

‘Mr. Lee tried to repackage the industrialist as a humane philanthropist, and in so doing became an important counsel to John D. Rockefeller Jr. as well. Mr. Lee, whose career later foundered when it was revealed that he did promotional work for the Nazis, advised the Rockefellers to be frank and direct when discussing their business practices with the press — a relief to a family averse to the practice, then common, of bribing reporters for coverage.’

Another key figure was Edward Bernays, who was a nephew of Sigmund Freud. Bernays was strongly influenced by his uncles work in psychology and began to apply psychology within the context of PR, seeing PR as an applied social science that uses insights from psychology, sociology, and other disciplines to scientifically manage and manipulate the thinking and behaviour of an irrational and “herdlike” public.

He was the author of several books on the subject, including The Engineering of Consent (1947) (Noam Chomsky later picked up the notion with Manufactured Consent). In addition, the New York Times notes that ‘He professionalized the business while introducing other new forms of manipulation, like establishing bogus front groups to promote the benefits of smoking.’

The article The History of Public Relations gives a good overview of the history of PR. The article points out how Ivy Lee placed emphasis on openness and transparency, with the belief that being honest with the public was a sure winner and that way trust could be built. Not-for-Profit Organizations and Social Movements tended towards Lees version of PR.

Edward Bernays by comparison applied the art of persuasion within PR, what to today might be referred to as ‘spin’. As the article notes:

‘Bernays understood that publics could be persuaded if the message supported their values and interests. In many ways, the thrust of his philosophy is made clear in his first book, Crystallizing Public Opinion. At the time, he saw public relations as being more or less synonymous with propaganda, which he defined as “the conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses.”’

The post-war period saw the rapid expansion of modern PR. Many proponents learnt their trade during the war from wartime propaganda campaigns. Many of the now well established PR companies cut their teeth during this period. The article outlines how all this came together:

‘…the hallmark of postwar public relations growth took place in the private
sector, in corporations and agencies. A consumer economy made use of both public relations and advertising to market products. Agencies came into full being, providing media relations and media contact capabilities not always available on the corporate side. The need for these skills was driven in part by the explosive growth of media outlets not available before the war — including FM radio, general magazines, suburban community newspapers, and trade and professional association publications. Their services expanded from a base of counselling and media relations to include public affairs or government relations, financial and investor relations, crisis communication, and media relations training for executives.’

But PR was not the sole province of Corporations and individuals. Countries would use the expertise of PR companies to sanitise their image. Israel is amongst those countries. Indeed the Israel lobby has become a potent force over the years.

This was highlighted in a report published in 2006 by John J. Mearsheimer, Department of Political Science, University of Chicago and Stephen M. Walt, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, called The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy. The report investigates the unique relationship between the US and Israel that is unparalleled in global affairs.

There are some eye opening revelations within the report. Perhaps the most remarkable is the basic assertion that the US is sacrificing its own national security by supporting Israel. And it isn’t cheap:

‘Israel receives about $3 billion in direct foreign assistance each year, which is roughly one‐fifth of America’s foreign aid budget. In per capita terms, the United States gives each Israeli a direct subsidy worth about $500 per year.’

And Israel doesn’t have to account its spending to Washington, it can ironically invest in projects that run counter to US policy ‘like building settlements in the West Bank.’

But perhaps one of the most sinister aspects of US support is Israel’s access to advanced US intelligence facilities:

‘The United States gives Israel access to intelligence that it denies its NATO allies and has turned a blind eye towards Israel’s acquisition of nuclear weapons.’

‘According to the American‐Israel Public Affairs Committee’s (AIPAC) website, 
“the United States and Israel have formed a unique partnership to meet the 
growing strategic threats in the Middle East . . . . This cooperative effort provides significant benefits for both the United States and Israel.” This claim is an article of faith among Israel’s supporters and is routinely invoked by Israeli politicians and pro‐Israel Americans.’

This — on the surface — gives the impression of a sound stable relationship between the US and Israel. But there’s a catch. The US wants to maintain its influence in the Middle East, with the support of Arab allies. But US support of Israel during the 1973 war ‘triggered an OPEC oil embargo that inflicted considerable damage on Western economies.’

During the 1991 Gulf war, the US could not deploy forces in Israel, otherwise it would have lost the coalition support against Saddam Hussain’s Iraq. Similarly, the so called ‘war against terror’ that followed the twin tower attacks on 9/11, was in a manner of speaking, the closing of a circle generated by US support of Israel:

‘According to the U.S. 9/11 Commission, bin Laden explicitly sought to punish the United States for its policies in the Middle East, including its support for Israel, and he even tried to time the attacks to highlight this issue.’

Israel likes to paint itself as the underdog, surrounded by hostile Arabs and exaggerating the threat posed by Palestinians. But Israel’s military prowess out-guns just about every country in the Middle East put together. This has been the case right from the beginning when Israel deflected the Arab offensive after Israel was created. And the Palestinians have no military capability whatsoever. Indeed:

‘According to a 2005 assessment by Tel Aviv University’s prestigious 
Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies, “the strategic balance decidedly favors Israel, which has continued to widen the qualitative gap between its own military capability and deterrence powers and those of its neighbors.” If backing the underdog were a compelling rationale, the United States would be supporting Israel’s opponents.’

Then of course there’s the argument that Israel is a democracy. But that’s knocked on the head:

‘Israel was explicitly founded as a Jewish state and citizenship is based on the principle of blood kinship. Given this conception of citizenship, it is not surprising that Israel’s 1.3 million Arabs are treated as second‐class citizens, or that a recent Israeli government commission found that Israel behaves in a “neglectful and discriminatory” manner towards them.’

As noted above, the holocaust played a critical role in Israel’s existence. The report suggests that this and historic persecution of Jews serves as a moral justification for Israel’s existence. That may be debatable. But does the ends justify the means?

Israel attempts to cover up its past misdemeanour’s and will deny displacing the Palestinians and committing ethnic cleansing. Yet the early leadership in Israel admitted as much:

‘The mainstream Zionist leadership was not interested in establishing a bi‐
national state or accepting a permanent partition of Palestine. The Zionist 
leadership was sometimes willing to accept partition as a first step, but this was a tactical maneuver and not their real objective. As David Ben‐Gurion put it in the late 1930s, “After the formation of a large army in the wake of the establishment of the state, we shall abolish partition and expand to the whole of Palestine.” 
 
To achieve this goal, the Zionists had to expel large numbers of Arabs from the territory that would eventually become Israel. There was simply no other way to accomplish their objective. Ben‐Gurion saw the problem clearly, writing in 1941 that “it is impossible to imagine general evacuation [of the Arab population] without compulsion, and brutal compulsion.” Or as Israeli historian Benny Morris puts it, “the idea of transfer is as old as modern Zionism and has accompanied its evolution and praxis during the past century.” ’

Ben-Gurion went on to say:

“If I were an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. . . . We come from Israel, but two thousand years ago, and what is that to them? There has been anti‐Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that?”

The report is frank about the atrocities that Israel has committed. To document everything in detail would fill a separate article. But suffice to say those atrocities were both confirmed and affirmed by the Israeli leadership:

‘These facts about Israel’s conduct have been amply documented by numerous 
human rights organizations — including prominent Israeli groups — and are not disputed by fair‐minded observers. And that is why four former officials of Shin Bet (the Israeli domestic security organization) condemned Israel’s conduct during the Second Intifada in November 2003. One of them declared “we are behaving disgracefully,” and another termed Israel’s conduct “patently immoral.” ’

And:

‘As former Prime Minister Barak once admitted, had he been born a Palestinian, he “would have joined a terrorist organization.” ’
Israel Past & Present — A post Colonial Apartheid State
Last year’s bombardment of Gaza (2014) was flashed around the world and through the social media landscape via the…medium.com

Israel’s influence is not restricted to the US. It very much operates on a global scale, thanks on large part to the ‘Israel Lobby’, which the Report goes into in some detail (see below).

The UK is a productive hunting ground for the Israel lobby. In 2013, a report was published in collaboration by Spinwatch and Middle East Monitor, The Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre: Giving peace a chance? The Report scrutinises the activities of the Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre (BICOM).

In short:

‘BICOM is an important pro-Israel grouping that focuses on managing the British media. It is important because it is at the more sophisticated end of the pro-Israel lobby and because it works behind the scenes to cultivate elite opinion on Israel. BICOM is primarily about taking standard pro-Israel arguments, but repackaging them in ways that resonate with opinion-forming elites, and teaching other activists to do the same. So, although it focuses on the media and communications its main audience is not public opinion but a political elite that is insulated from the public.’

BICOM emerged during the second intifada, with Finnish financier Poju Zabludowicz at the helm. Its roots stem from his father’s role in the arms trade, during which Shlomo Zabludowicz forged links with key contacts within Israel.

Shlomo Zabludowicz was a Polish holocaust survivor from Aucshwitz. After repatriation he moved to Israel. But subsequently moved to Finland, where he got involved with arms company Tampella. This eventually led to deals being forged with Israel.

Over the years he developed close relationships with Israeli politicians, including Shimon Peres. This ultimately became very lucrative and as a result Shlomo Zabludowicz amassed a fortune and a well established business base that was succeeded by his son following his death in 1994.

However, following the end of the cold war and the breakup of the Soviet Union, the global arms industry had gone into decline. This also impacted Israel. The result was a diversification of the business into other areas such as property.

The 1990’s also saw other changes taking place. There was the steady expansion of the global neoliberal economic system that began to consolidate itself following the cold war. Indeed Israel itself became host to over 600,000 Russian immigrants. This provided the impetus for change within Israel.

Israel had an image problem. From a Global economic perspective, Israel was regarded as a war zone. Israel wanted to join the neoliberal ‘club’. When the Oslo peace process began during this period this presented an opportunity for Israel to ‘normalise’ itself. In addition there was the Arab league boycott of Israeli companies that has been in effect practically since Israel’s inception:

‘A key objective for the business sector was the lifting of the Arab League’s boycott of Israeli companies and especially the so-called ‘secondary boycott’, under which companies doing business with Israel or Israeli companies were barred from business with Arab countries and companies. Shafir and Peled note that: Many Israeli business leaders realized that the Arab boycott was an obstacle on the road to integrating the Israeli economy into the world market; that while it was in effect all efforts in this direction would yield only limited results. Similarly, only the stability ensured by peace could bring foreign investment and foreign corporations into Israel in significant numbers.’

This was the image of Israel of a country seeking peace that was fostered during the Oslo peace process. But the underlying objective was economic expansion and Israel’s integration into the global economy.

With agreements secured between the PLO and Israel, with both factions recognising each other, it wouldn’t be long before Israeli’s could order Big Macs in their local McDonald’s or buying western cars and investing their money in global financial institutions. Not everyone in Israel agreed with the peace accords. But the economy took off.

During this period, relations between Israel and the UK strengthened. In 1995, Prime Minister John Major ‘visited Israel with a group of British business people and jointly with the Israeli Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin
established the Israel-Britain Business Council, which was backed by public funds and tasked with promoting business relations between the two countries.’

Poju Zabludowicz became involved in the process. He became chair of the Britain-Israel Parliamentary Group’s (BIPG) newly formed business advisory group, ‘a ‘lobbying forum’ established to promote commercial and technological links between Israel and the UK.’ He also joined the advisory board of the Israel-Britain Business Council. This allowed him to link up with well placed people in the business community as well as political.

The original business set up by his father had became absorbed into the Tamares Group, now run by Poju Zabludowicz, that consists of various holding’s around the world that includes real estate and media interests. The main centre of operations though appear to be based in Israel.

From 2002 to 2007, Tamares Capital was managed by Pinchas Buchris, a retired Israeli Brigadier General who headed the IDF’s Unit 8200 (also called the Central Unit of Technology Intelligence). He left when he was appointed Director-General of the Israeli Defense Ministry.

‘This revolving door, whereby individuals traverse multiple public and private roles, is familiar in the UK and the US and is an indication of closely intermeshed networks operating between business and the state.’

Zabludowicz also moved into the venture capital and Hedge fund sector. Some of his contacts there would go on to become involved with BICOM. Zabludowicz had now positioned himself as a key business operator between the UK and Israel. Indeed:

‘In March 2011, he hosted secret talks between Shimon Peres and the Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas at his North London home. The meeting was one of several reportedly arranged by the venture capitalist Sir Ronald Cohen, the UK’s leading exponent of Peres-style neoliberalisation through peace.’

Although it would appear that Zabludowicz’s relationship with the political elites in London and Tel Aviv are primarily business oriented, he nevertheless has integrated himself well. Even though current Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu is a hard liner and no great fan of the peace process, Zabludowicz ‘compares him favourably to Thatcher and Reagan.’

Although the peace process had the intended effect of improving Israel’s image on the global stage, the Palestinian’s did not benefit. On the ground it was business as usual as far as the occupation went. Indeed the economic position of the Palestinians stagnated during this period.

The closer relationship with the UK:

‘ended the arms embargo on Israel imposed by the Thatcher Government in 1982, and worked to end the Arab boycott (encouraged in both initiatives
by business orientated pro-Israel groups in the UK). Economic relations with Israel were stepped up, with imports and exports more than doubling during the decade, and a relationship ‘blossomed’ between the UK and Israeli arms
industries.’

Ironically during the peace process, the Israel lobby had declined somewhat:

‘Organisations working to secure support for the country in the UK were increasingly considered redundant. In 1999, the forerunner to BICOM, the British-Israel Public Affairs Committee (BIPAC), was closed.’

However, trouble was brewing. Discontent was simmering amongst Palestinians:

‘The Oslo process did not bring an end to Israel’s occupation or to the construction of illegal settlements on occupied land. The Netanyahu government had demolished Palestinian houses in East Jerusalem and approved plans for new settlements in the area around the city.’

‘Under the Oslo Accords Israel had pledged to withdraw from 90 per cent of the occupied territories by the beginning of 2000, but by that time they had in fact withdrawn from only 18 per cent. The ‘final status’ talks held at Camp David in July 2000 ended with no agreement between Barak and Arafat, each side blaming the other for the failure.’

The Second intifada was about to erupt. A provocative visit to the Al Aqsa mosque by Ariel Sharon triggered widespread protest that was initially non violent. But these were ‘met with excessive and lethal force by Israel, whose reaction to the uprising has been characterised as one of ‘brutal repression’.’

The force implemented by the IDF against the Palestinians triggered terrorist reprisals from Palestinian extremists. It wasn’t until 2005 that the violence began to recede.

‘Taking stock, human rights groups concluded that the vast majority of Palestinians killed had been unarmed civilians. Most saliently for our purposes, the intifada had also been a ‘public relations disaster’ for Israel.’

The Israel lobby was about to crawl back out of the woodwork. The establishment of BICOM would be an important vehicle for a UK based PR network that would develop ‘a war room to ensure correct information and solidarity with Israel is maintained.’

The report sums up BICOM’s creation:

‘As a permanent organisation, it emerged out of the Emergency Co-ordinating
Group’s ‘British Israel Communications Office’, which had used the acronym ‘BICOM’ for several months before the organisation was formally created. Mick Davis, chair of the United Jewish Israel Appeal, later recalled: ‘Poju had a vision of a new era in Israel advocacy for the UK. He took the fledgling crisis room created in response to the outbreak of the second intifada and turned
it into the renowned and respected organisation that BICOM is today.’ ’

The key figures involved in its founding were:

‘Poju Zabludowicz, Philip Rubenstein (a marketing consultant who at that
time worked at the accountancy firm BDO), David Green (a businessman who became the organisation’s treasurer) and the joint chairs of the Emergency Co-ordinating Group, Jo Wagerman and Brian Kerner.’

Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks was also closely associated with BICOM. It was also supported by the Israeli Embassy in London and the ‘ ‘highest level’ of the Israeli foreign ministry.’

The Israeli PR machine would begin its global march, lobbying the UK, the US and Europe, with the EU as an important target.

In an article published by Spinwatch in 2014, David Cronin investigates the European Friends of Israel: Founded by Tories, funded by big business. Its perhaps not surprising that a key PR group in the EU has its roots in the UK.

In 2006, the European Friends of Israel (EFI) was founded. It was modeled on the UK Conservatives Friends of Israel (CFI). Driving its formation was Stuart Polak, a former director of CFI.

Other key figures involved with EFI are Hannu Takkula, a Finnish Liberal MEP. Three Tory MEP’s; Charles Tannock, Geoffrey Van Orden and Timothy Kirkhope.

Tannock was a foreign affairs specialist who ‘sat on the EFI’s political board between 2006 and 2011.’

Van Orden was ‘a retired brigadier-general in the British Army who served in NATO’s headquarters during the 1990s.’ He was ‘a strong advocate for UK industry, including the arms industry’.

Timothy Kirkhope is the Chair of CFI.

To sum up:

‘Papers filed with the Belgian authorities state that EFI was officially established as a not-for-profit association by Stuart Polak, along with Marc Cogen, a Belgian academic, and Jean-Pierre Haber, a veteran Brussels official. Its stated objective was to ‘unify’ the various pro-Israel groups within the national parliaments of EU countries by coordinating their activities. Such groups would be linked to one in the European Parliament, according to these papers.’

Cogen, a professor of international law, has a rather chequered history. He supports the ‘war on terror’ and he ‘signed a letter to Flemish newspapers defending Israel’s attack on Gaza’ in 2008. Although he left the EFI (along with Polak). However:

‘Cogen remains in contact with the Zionist lobby. The 2013 annual report of NGO Monitor lists him as a member of its legal advisory board. Run by Israeli academic Gerard Steinberg, NGO Monitor is dedicated to preserving Israel as an apartheid state, in which Palestinians face systematic discrimination. It campaigns against the public financing of human rights and peace activists who promote a ‘one-state solution’ based on full equality for Jews, Muslims, Christians and non-believers, accusing such activists of striving to ‘eliminate’ Israel.’

After the end of the second intifada, the Israeli arms industry picked up again. The EFI received support from the (re)emerging industry:

‘During the first nine months of 2006, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) reported a profit of $115 million, a 247 per cent increase over the same period in 2005. As one of the largest suppliers of weapons to the Israeli military, IAI evidently did well from the attack on Lebanon in the summer of that year. The offensive enabled Israel to ‘battle-test’ its armed drones for the first time. Since then IAI has become one of the world’s top drone manufacturers.

IAI (then called Israel Aircraft Industries) was among the sponsors for the EFI’s launch; the company’s information stall can be seen in a video taken at the event. Stuart Polak, meanwhile, doubles up as an arms industry lobbyist. The Westminster Connection, a consulting firm that he set up, puts ‘defence’ at the top of the list of the sectors to which it has provided advice. Elbit, another Israeli warplane-maker, has been named by The Sunday Times as one of his clients.’

One of the most influential lobbying Groups in the US is the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). AIPAC has had some influence on EFI. Ranaan Eliaz a former staff member of AIPAC in 2004 was involved in the creation of EFI. Dimitri Dombret, EFI’s first director confirmed ‘that he had met AIPAC representatives in Washington a number of times. More recently, EFI has sent as many as 70 delegates to the annual AIPAC conference.’ Elinadav Heymann, the group’s current director, had spoke ‘at a side event held during the conference in March 2014.’

As EFI gained a secure foothold within EU affairs it started attracting some big business backers. Yaron (Ronny) Bruckner, one of EFI’s founders had become administrator of the Group before his death. He had founded a company called Eastbridge. At the same time ‘Marc Grosman became EFI’s vice-president and treasurer.’ He had served on Eastbridge’s supervisory board.

Another prominent member of EFI is Vladimir Sloutsker, the EFI’s president. He is also a co-founder and President of the Israeli Jewish congress and was vice president of the European Jewish congress:

‘A Russian senator from 2002 to 2006, he has a background in banking and private equity. He also has a reputation for giving generous assistance to causes and individuals. He reportedly donated $250,000 per year to the Russian Jewish Congress in 2005 and 2006.’

Another key supporter of EFI was Liberal Democrat MEP Sarah Ludford, who defied party policy by aligning herself with the far right in the EU. She is also involved in a pro Zionist faction within the Lib Dems.

EFI began to focus on achieving closer trade ties between the EU and Israel. This was achieved with the Conformity Assessment and Acceptance of Industrial Products (ACAA), which was the culmination of a sequence of agreements designed to pivot Israel into the EU single market. It has also established close relations with openly racist politicians from Israel:

‘In April 2014, EFI hosted a lunch for Naftali Bennett, Israel’s economy minister. The leader of the Bayit Yehudi (Jewish Home) party, Bennett had been a vociferous opponent of EU moves during 2013 to bar firms and institutions based in Israel’s West Bank settlements from receiving scientific research grants. Settlers should respond to such efforts with ‘more kids, more trees, more vineyards, more homes’ on occupied Palestinian land, he argued. Bennett’s advocacy of perpetual colonisation did not deter Sarah Ludford from dining with him in a gesture of solidarity despite how she had previously acknowledged that the settlements are illegal.’

David Rotem was another close ally of EFI. He represents the far-right Yisrael Beitenu (Israel Our Home) party and is a Knesset member:

‘Described as a ‘one-man legislative machine’ in Max Blumenthal’s book Goliath, Rotem has authored a series of measures aimed at making Palestinians face new types of discrimination. Among them were a bill requiring Palestinian citizens of Israel to sign an oath of allegiance to a ‘Jewish and democratic state’ and a ban on funding organisations deemed to clash with Israeli values. The latter initiative was originally known as the ‘Nakba law’ after the Arabic word for catastrophe; it targeted Palestinian groups who held events which recognised that some 750,000 Palestinians were driven from their homes in the Nakba, the wave of ethnic cleansing at the time of Israel’s establishment in 1948.’

Rotems’ association with EFI was arranged by Dutch MEP Bastiaan Belder, a Christian Zionist, who ‘has supported almost every Israeli act of aggression. Israel, he has claimed, displayed a ‘real concern for Palestinian lives’ when it bombed Gaza for three consecutive weeks in late 2008 and early 2009. ‘Look at all the precautions they [Israel] took during the operation,’ he added.’

He was also serving chair of the European Parliament’s committee, tasked with handling its relations with the Knesset, along with other members of EFI, who sit on the Parliament’s official delegation to Israel.

EFI is closely linked to the Israeli Embassy in Brussels:

‘At least three of the staff in Israel’s Brussels embassy have been assigned the task of cultivating a good relationship with MEPs. One of the three, David Saranga, has trained EFI staff on how to make optimal use of ‘social media’ websites like Twitter and Facebook. And when Israel began a new round of airstrikes against Gaza in October 2012, Saranga travelled to Strasbourg, where the Parliament was meeting, so that he could brief EFI stalwarts. His key messages were that Israel was seeking to avoid harming civilians and that it was providing Gaza with humanitarian assistance. Both messages were dishonest: Israel soon launched an all-out attack, while Israel’s siege of Gaza has created a situation where 80 per cent of its inhabitants have become dependent on aid for survival.’

Saranga has also been ‘portrayed as a ‘rebranding’ specialist by The Jewish Chronicle. During a previous stint as a media officer in Israel’s New York consulate, he placed a feature in ‘lad’s magazine’ Maxim in which women who had served in the Israeli military were photographed in skimpy swimwear.’

By 2013, EFI had adopted the ‘tricks of the trade’. It went out of its way to push ‘brand Israel’. In so doing it hosted ‘a conference within the European Parliament titled ‘Humanitarian aid — Israel as a world leader’.’

As part of its PR campaign it claimed that ‘whenever disasters occur around the world, Israel has teams ready to assist rescue efforts. One of these teams was first on the ground after an earthquake devastated Haiti in 2010, invitees were informed’. The PR blurb is also played out on social media.

The EFI has now become a powerful voice and vehicle for the pro Israel lobby within the EU. As Cronin sums up in his article:

‘Its ability to convince elected representatives to bolster an apartheid state indicates it is a very dangerous organisation.’

SO WILL BRITAIN ONE DAY BE  MUSLIM?

SATURDAY ESSAY

 

[Daily Mail-May 5-2007]

 

*

Our failure to have children.

Welfarism.

Political Correctness.

And a

LACK of WILL

 to fight Islamic extremism

 

 

 

THIS WEEK has been another terrible one for those of us who want a society in which all races, religions and cultures mix to their mutual advantage and

ENRICHMENT.

On Tuesday, five men were sentenced to life in prison for plotting to use a huge fertiliser bomb in what would have been the UK's largest mass murder.

Omar Khyam, Salahuddin Amin, Anthony Garciaand Jawa Akbar -first and second generation immigrants - responded to the tolerance of the British people

BY TRYING TO KILL AS MANY OF THEM AS POSSIBLE.

It is absurd to hope that the exposure of their evil after a 13-month trial which cost an estimated

£50,000,000

-has finally provided the wake-up call that this slumbering country so badly needs?

I'm one of those old-fashioned immigrants to this country who feels passionately grateful, is proudly British (as well as Irish -having been born in Dublin) and believes that immigrants have more duties than rights. And further, that one of those is to adjust to British society rather than expecting it to adjust to them. [ has been the practice for some decades but more so during the Blair years.]

However, one aspect of contemporary British society which I refuse to adjust to is its weakness in the face of the

ENEMY WITHIN

In my many conversations with like-minded people about the threat that radical Islam poses to the

 BRITISH WAY OF LIFE

-And indeed, to European civilisation -we frequently end by despairingly agreeing that the

WEST

-seems intention committing

POLITICAL and CULTURAL

SUICIDE.

When we look starkly at the demographic statistics, the wimpishness of our

ESTABLISHMENT

-in the face of the

THREAT

-the perversions perpetuated by

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

-and our passivity, it's hard to avoid the

CONCLUSION

-that within a couple of generations

ISLAM

-will be in

CONTROL of EUROPE

And before anyone says that there nothing wrong if this happened, since the vast majority of

MUSLIMS

are tolerant people who would not dream of interfering with

OUR WAY OF LIFE

-it's necessary  to point out that in

MUSLIM COUNTRIES

, it's usually the radicals and extremists

MULLAHS

-who regard

TOLERANCE

AS A VICE

-WHO MAKE THE RUNNING.

This occurs too in microcosm in

MUSLIM GHETTOS

around

EUROPE

We saw the frightening fundamentalist fringe of

ISLAM

-marching, threatening and perpetuating violence over the cartoons depicting

MOHAMMAD

IN

DENMARK

while the majority of Muslims - who, yes, of course are tolerant and decent - kept their mouths shut and stayed at

HOME

YES, Islam may be a great religion. BUT

-in its fundamentalist version, some of its values are antipathetic to ours, and if they triumph in

EUROPE 

-they will

THREATEN OUR VALUES

such as

FREEDOM OF THOUGHT

and

SPEECH

and the spirit of intellectual inquiry that made

EUROPEAN CIVILISATION

Great and Prosperous

 

The danger of ending up like these poor, despotic and medieval

Islamic States

-in which millions live miserably is the prospect that

CHRISTIANS

HINDUS

MODERATE MUSLIMS and NON-BELIEVERS -should be uniting

TO PREVENT

 

BUT THE TRUTH IS WE ARE DOING LITTLE TO STOP IT.

Consider first a few chilling statistics.

EUROPEANS ARE FAILING TO REPRODUCE

[Yet in our own island millions of potential citizens have been 

SLAUGHTERED AT BIRTH

thanks to David Steels -Abortion Bill of 1965?

It is still taking place in 2007 though there is NOW an  growing awareness of the tragedy to the potential mother and to society in general that many more doctors today are refusing to condone the

MURDER.

Recently the sight of full grown foetuses being deprived of their lives has now brought the horror and injustice of the action to destroy life.

In an age of contraception of many devices and anti-life pills it is unbelievable that any potential mother was unable to take the necessary steps to prevent conception.

David Steels Bill was to prevent back-street abortions and he himself a few ears ago voiced his concern as to what has happened over the years since.]

*

Consider  first a few chilling statistics.

Europeans are failing to reproduce. Just to keep the population steady, you need 2.1 births per women

[This is a case for Government action by offering cash and other vital services to enable the reluctant mother to do her best for her community and country.]

However in 2005, the European average was 1.38.

In Ireland it was 1.9

France it was 1.89

Germany 1.35

Italy 1.23

Britain scored in the middle of this range with 1.6

BUT

That was because - like France - we have a large

MUSLIM POPULATION

with a high birth rate. Indeed,

MUSLIMS

are out breeding

 non-Muslims

through out

 EUROPE

 

 

[Many of whom have absolutely no intention of integrating -

Thank you very much Mr Blair -we don't think so.]

'Just look at the development within Europe.'

said a triumphant Norwegian Imam a few months ago

'where the number of

MUSLIMS

is expanding like mosquitoes.

Every Western women in the EU is producing an average of 1.4 children. Every Muslim women in the same countries is producing an average of 3.5 children.

'OUR WAY OF THINKING WILL PROVE MORE POWERFUL THAN YOURS' he said.

The big question this poses is:

WHY ARE WE NOT REPRODUCING?

There are many reasons, but probably the most important are the decline of religion and the liberation of women.

[The populations which have the stronger religious stance will be the eventual rulers of Europe. It can be a Christian Europe or a Muslim Europe. The Governments of Europe and the shrinking United Kingdom have to decide.]

In Ireland, when the Roman Catholic Church effectively ran society, sex for procreation, contraceptives were banned, the normal size for a family was around five or six children, bur 12 or 13 were not uncommon.

As the country embraced secularism in the 1980s, birth rates plummeted, exacerbated by the new -found confidence of women that made them choose careers rather than domesticity.

WHEREAS in the 1970s, I was regarded in both the UK and Ireland as odd for being married but voluntarily childless, these days, childlessness |

IS A COMMON CHOICE

It is a world where one-child families abound and to have more than two children is to be regarded as eccentric and probably environmentally irresponsible.

Moreover, the erosion of family life and the long - hours culture place a heavy burden on those prepared to rear the next generation.

Despite these social forces, even in the UK, devote Muslims and Orthodox Jews obey instructions to have large families.

Confronted with this demographic revolution and official statistics which showed there were too few young people to support an ageing population, European governments decided to embrace

IMMIGRATION

-as an inherent good without any thought for the consequences.

As a result, politicians and businessmen assured us that we had to have economic growth in n order to prop up ever greater public spending and that it could be provided only by importing large numbers of workers from abroad

BUT WHY WASN'T THERE A NATIONAL DEBATE

ABOUT

Whether it was wise to mortgage our cultural future for the sake of a mess of financial pottage?

[A recent report on the cost  and benefit of large scale

IMMIGRATION

estimated that the country benefited by

ONLY - 50p

 for each migrant]

Where were the politicians arguing against the doctrine of

MULTICULTURALISM

-which holds that upholding majority values is somehow

ILLEGITIMATE

Who among the liberal elite's commentariat were challenging the moral relativism that flew in the face of

SENSE and SENSIBILITY

-by insisting that the culture of

Shakespeare

The King James Bible

Keats's poetry

Turner's paintings

and

Elgar's music

-was no more important than - the cultures of other

IMPORTED MINORITIES?

 

We know the answer all too well.

Cries of racism drowned out rational argument - not just here but throughout

OLD EUROPE

As one gloomster put it:

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

which is thought what

SENTIMENTALITY is to COMPASSION

-means that the intelligentsia of the

WEST

-has disarmed itself in advance of any possible struggle.

The result of all this, as recent events have made tragically clear, was that

BRITISH CULTURE

-was

UNDERMINED and SOCIAL COHESION

DAMAGED.

Separated from mainstream society by geographical and cultural apartheid, which has been fostered by

MULTICULTURALISM

-many immigrants were denied the chance to

INTEGRATE.

 

AND, INSTEAD OF BEING TOLD BY THE HOST COMMUNITY

THAT IF THEY DIDN'T WANT TO ADHERE

-to the values of a liberal, pluralist democracy, they should

RETURN HOME

They were asked how they would like

BRITAIN

-to conform to

THEIR VALUES.

THE STORY WAS VERY MUCH THE SAME THROUGHOUT EUROPE

The robust American political commentator Mark Steyn, a disillusioned Anglophile has already written us off. The thesis of his Blackly comic book,

*

America Alone:

The End Of The World As We Know It

*

-is that the U.S. will survive because the

RELIGIOUS RIGHT ARE CONFIDENT

 AND

 REPRODUCE

BUT

 THAT EUROPE IS FINISHED

Its not just demographic decline, he says, it's also the unsustainability of the

MODERN WELFARE STATE

-in which we depend so much on our own individual resources.

We are also, he believes, suffering from 'civilisational exhaustion':

CULTURAL DISINTEGRATION

-brought about by

BIG GOVERNMENT

[Or if you prefer BIG BROTHER]

-which has fatally

DESTROYED OUR SENSE OF SELF-RELIANCE.

 

MEANWHILE, we are importing large numbers of unemployed youths from abroad in order to maintain

OUR

STANDARD OF LIVING

Yet many of these newcomers have nothing

BUT

CONTEMPT

 FOR OUR

WAY OF LIFE

-and some even wish

TO DESTROY IT

Steyn sees this as a

CIVIL WAR

which

EUROPE

-is too timid even to acknowledge - let alone

LET ALONE WIN

[This is something the Tory Mr Oliver Letwin or as we have said on a number of occasions Mr Let-them-win -and they will, who appears to be out of touch with the real issues that matter to our country in the early years of the 21st century.]

Mr Steyn says:

'Islam has youth and WILL

Europe has age and WELFARE.'

It's hard not to agree with Mark Steyn, especially as every day seems to bring more evidence

THAT AS A SOCIETY

WE ARE TERMINALLY

MAD

For example, this week's fertiliser bomb trial had heard that the key plotters had been radicalised by the hate preacher Omar Bakri Mohammed whom the judge condemned as

'a master of cowardice -who works in the shadows.'

This was the same firebrand who as an asylum -seeker here, had pocketed

£275,000

-in Welfare benefits.

[It is the same mentality shown by

Lord Chief Justice Phillips and Lord Falconer and many others

-who instead of spending the £32 million allocated for building prisons a few years ago are now doing almost anything in order to keep thousands of criminals many repeat offenders and dangerous, out of prison and giving many early release so they can go back to torment their victims and as has happened in a number of occasions returned to have another go at their robbery or other offence knowing that the worst that might happen is either a holiday or community service or whatever  and as many prisons these days are very much like 5star hotels there will be no hardship encountered if they are so lucky to win the prison admission lottery -then it will be a nice break to see old friends and anyway they will be out before they have completed their degree in political science or whatever.

The victims of crime, many of them elderly - poor and lonely won't as a rule be free of fear of their tormentor returning for a second or even third try to rob them of the little they have  and as has happened even assault and kill the defenceless pensioner - but some victims even lose heart and end their own lives by depriving themselves of food because they have lost hope that they can be safe again and we have their so-called protectors such as The Lord Chief Justice Phillips and Lord Falconer the new 'Justice' Minister ? who says 'Jail's the wrong place for burglars' and others who are doing whatever they can to keep the criminals out of jail. If the Army can put up a temporary  barracks in double quick time then there would be spaces for all the thousands of criminals who should be

OUT OF THE COMMUNITY.

Of course there would be complaints that the conditions are not up to the standards of the 5star prisons that they have 'visited' over the years and anyway there is

Tony Blair's

1998 HUMAN RIGHTS ACT

to keep them out of such uncomfortable surroundings which would not provide the 'key' service which has been introduced with their friendly solicitor providing a drugs service as an extra comfort.

THERE IS NO LONGER JUSTICE AS THE SENTENCE DOES NOT FIT THE CRIME

ANYMORE]

*

To continue:

Despite all this, I still believe there are grounds for hope - largely because Muslim hotheads have overplayed their hand by blowing people up, rioting in their neighbourhoods or broadcasting hate -filled speeches which alienate them from the host community.

*

 

[Well we are of the opinion that until the Government shows to the Muslim population that they will not give way on insisting that ALL newcomers and those already with us conform to

OUR RULE OF LAW

 

-and punish without hesitation any breaches of the Law and make it plain that anyone who is a threat to our country WILL BE extradited. BUT of course we have Tony Blair's 1998 Human Rights Act and articles within the 1951 British led Convention of Human Rights which will need amending.

It should be made quite clear that those who have no intention to

INTEGRATE

-should be reminded of their commitment which they gave when they where granted immigration or asylum status (which should be a legal requirement in the future)

Unless drastic action is taken by the next Prime Minister as a priority , future generations of the indigenous population will find themselves foreigners in their own country with their religion and culture under growing  threat. The evidence is before our eyes it is a warning of what the future will bring if action is not taken

QUICKLY AND DECISIVELY

Those moderate Muslims will at last feel secure in the knowledge that they are safe from the extremist influence which up to now they have had it all their own way. By our commitment

IT WILL BE SECURITY THROUGH STRENGTH OF PURPOSE AND THE MUSLIMS WILL BE WITH US

Continue as NOW and they will have nothing but contempt for our indecision and inadequate moral integrity.]

*

To continue:

The sharp-suited, soft spoken undercover agents of the

MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD

-the banned Egyptian group whose former members include Osma Bin Laden -understand that power is best secured by

STEALTH

by infiltrating institutions and seducing the

MEDIA

Libya's Colonel Gaddafi once exemplified this policy

He said:

'There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe -without swords, without guns-without conquests. The 50 million Muslims in Europe will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades.'

 

[AND THEY SURE MEAN IT]

 

 

[Our survival as a Christian nation can only be achieved by the Government reversing it's abhorrent legislation as to Religious freedom of speech and action because not to do so further emphasises to the extremist elements in our country that we are WEAK and AMORAL nation and therefore ready for conversion by stealth as their numbers obtain the victory while we ignore our Christian past at our peril.

Our close relations to America must be strengthened particularly in the moral arena so that our nations will gain the grudging respect of those who have a desire to replace our Christian heritage with their own.

There will be many who will say that we live in a secular environment and that the Government of the day should not concern itself but we have no choice we either support our Institutions and that includes our Christian inheritance which is ingrained into the very fabric of our nation or  lose that priceless heirloom the foundation of our IDENTITY and accept another more fanatical regime who do not believe in toleration but only in the observance of their one and only deliverer who will have no other faiths before it.

WE HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE

-because a vacuum must be filled and it is better that we know what contain.

The Choice Is Yours!

Conservative Friends of Israel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 
Conservative Friends of Israel, abbreviated to CFI, is a British parliamentary group affiliated to the Conservative Party, which is dedicated to strengthening business, cultural and political ties between the United Kingdom and Israel. CFI is an unincorporated association. It also seeks to strengthen ties between the British Conservative Party and the Israeli Likud party.

It was founded in 1974 by Conservative MP for Bury and Radcliffe, Michael Fidler. It is currently chaired by Stuart Polak. The Parliamentary Chairman is James Arbuthnot, the Parliamentary President is Baroness Shephard of Northwold. The Vice Chairmen are John Butterfill and James Clappison, the Secretary is David Amess, the Officers are Alistair Burt, Lee Scott, and Theresa Villiers, and the Chairman of CFI Europe is Timothy Kirkhope.

In 1995 Conservative politician Robert Rhodes James called it "the largest organisation in Western Europe dedicated to the cause of the people of Israel".[1]

By 2009, according to the Channel 4 documentary Dispatches – Inside Britain's Israel Lobby, around 80% of Conservative MPs were members of the CFI.[2] In 2013, Peter Oborne, the Daily Telegraph's chief political commentator called CFI “by far Britain’s most powerful pro-Israel lobbying group”. The same is true of AIPAC in the US.”[3]

 

 

Activities[edit]

The group's 2005 strategy identified the following areas of activity: supporting Israel, promoting the British Conservative Party, fighting terrorism, combating anti-semitism, and promoting peace in the Middle East.[4] According to their website, "over two thirds" of Conservative MPs were members of Conservative Friends of Israel in 2006.[5] In 2007 the Political Director stated it had over 2000 members and registered supporters.[6] In 2009, at least half of the shadow cabinet were members of the group according to a Dispatches documentary.[7]

Their website states the opinion that it is one of the fastest growing political lobby groups in the UK.[8] According to the Dispatches documentary, between 2006 and 2009 the CFI funded more than 30 Conservative parliamentary candidates to visit Israel.[7]

In 2012 CFI reconstituted itself as a private company limited by guarantee.[9]

CFI annual business lunch[edit]

David Cameron, then newly elected leader of the Conservative Party, addressed the CFI annual business lunch on 30 January 2006, whose audience included half of the Conservative Parliamentary Party. As part of his speech, he stated "I am proud not just to be a Conservative, but a Conservative friend of Israel; and I am proud of the key role CFI plays within our Party. Israel is a democracy, a strong and proud democracy, in a region that is, we hope, making its first steps in that direction."[10]

Former Conservative party leaders Iain Duncan Smith[11] and Michael Howard[12] have addressed the CFI lunch.

The British Pakistani MP Sajid Javid has also made business lunch speeches which have been positively received by the CFI, the Jewish Chronicle even reporting Javid as a future Prime Minister.[13]

Donations[edit]

The Dispatches documentary claimed members of the group and their companies have donated over £10 million to the Conservative party between 2001 and 2009. The group called this figure "deeply flawed" saying that they have only donated £30,000 between 2004 and 2009 but that members of the group have undoubtedly made their own donations to the party. Dispatches described the CFI as "beyond doubt the most well-connected and probably the best funded of all Westminster lobbying groups".[2][7]

Members of CFI[edit]

According to the CFI website 80% of Tory MPs are members of Conservative Friends of Israel.[14]

In alphabetical order, members of Conservative Friends of Israel include:

ISLAMIC JIHAD

The Islamic Jihad of the 7th to 10th centuries over-ran half of the then Christian World by the sword. Today, many western Muslims are peaceful and law-abiding, and those who are faithful to the Quran and to the Hadith may well stand beside Christians in campaigns against Materialism and immorality.

Equally, they can take the view that the decadent 'Christian' west is regarded as Dar-al-Harb (house of war). pagan and irredeemable. Only jihad, in the latter view, will bring 'peace' by the establishment of a new Khilafah (a Muslim state) worldwide and by the abolition of national boundaries to result in Izhaar ud-Deen (world domination by Islam).

Islamic states are at the forefront of persecution of Christians, a fact well documented by Operation Mobilisation, Barnabas Fund, Christian Solidarity and Frontline Fellowship amongst other Christian groups.  This topic alone would warrant a book about it and there is truly no space here to begin to do the subject the justice it deserves.

Even in non-Muslim countries, Islam shows its aggressive side, and this is putting the bombings in places like New York, Bali, Madrid, London and Israel on one side.  In Nigeria, Muslims are advancing Sha'ria and persecuting Christians, driving them out of Muslim areas by force of arms. In Australia, Muslims used the State of Victoria's Anti-Vilification Law to persecute Paster Daniel Scot when he described the persecution of Christians in Pakistan and described Islamic beliefs.  At the University of Pretoria, in South Africa, Frontline Fellowship Field Director, Timothy Keller, was threatened by a mob of Muslim students demanding that a missions display be taken down.  In the United Kingdom, author Salman Rushdie became the subject of a death sentence for writing his book "The Satanic Verses" and the arts and media worlds are terrified of offending Muslims.  And with good reason - Dutch film-maker Theo van Gogh was murdered because he released a film criticising Islam and the oppression of women in arranged marriages.  His murderer, Mohammed Bouyeri, is unrepentant.

Believers are held in Islam by fear, making the Quranic promise that there is no compulsion empty. Mohammed said 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.' (Bukhari: Volume 4, book 52, Number 260, Narrated Ikrima.)

Apostasy is punishable by death today in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Yemen, Iran, Sudan, Pakistan and Mauritania.  Of point to us in evangelism is that the penalty for a Muslim converting to Christianity in Britain is still theoretically death.  Even if a convert's Muslims neighbours stop short of killing him, Muslim converts in Britain suffer severe persecution.  The Barnabas Fund estimate that some 3,000 Christian converts from Islam are in danger in the UK.  They include Nissar Hussain and his family from Bradford; his car was burnt out, he has endured bricks thrown through his windows, threats to burn his house down and much else.

THE 'COVENANT OF SECURITY'

The Islamic concept of a 'Covenant of Security' means two things. Firstly, unbelievers who pay the Jizyah are entitled to the provision of security from the Khilafah, and secondly, a non-Islamic nation which provides shelter to Muslims is not regarded as Dar-al-Harb. It is the second meaning which is relevant to Britain today.

In practice, as long as Britain sheltered Islamic terrorists planning strikes against their own governments, and did not make war against islamic lands, Britain was safe from attack.  The turning of London into Londonistan, a haven for foreign jihadists, made Britain, in a perverse kind of way, a safer place.

Chief among advocates of the 'Covenant of Security' was Skeikh Omar Bakri, leader of al-Muhajiroun. The head of its Luton branch, Sayful Islam, said in April 2004 that he supported Osama Bin Laden "100 per cent" in the quest to achieve

"the worldwide domination of Islam"

but he would not engage in terror attacks in Britain

"as long as they allow us Muslims to live here in peace."

All that changed as events unfolded in 2004 as a result of 9/11.

The British Government arrested certain foreign nationals on suspicion of inciting terrorism, and, unable for human rights reasons to deport them, kept them interned without trial.

The second factor was Britain's active support in the American invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.

In January 2005 Bakri determined that the covenant of security had ended and "the whole of Britain had become Dar-al-Harb."

British Muslims were obliged "to join the global Islamic camp against the global crusader camp" the latter of which included Britain. Six months later, the bombing campaign in London began.

Other British jihadists took a different line. Hassan Butt left al Muhajiroun because he disagreed that British-born Muslims were bound by the same covenant of security felt by foreigners, such as Bakri himself.  In an interview, Butt said British-born Muslim youth have no allegiance to this country: "Islamically, I agree that someone who runs from the Middle East-where people like me are persecuted-and says, 'Britain, I want you to protect me' has entered a covenant of security. They  say, 'look protect my life and as a result I won't do any harm to you.' That  I agree with 100 per cent, but most of our people, especially the youth are British citizens... They did not ask to be born here; neither did they ask to be protected by Britain....They  have no covenant. As far as I'm concerned, the Islamic hukum (order) that I follow, says that a person has no covenant whatsoever with the country in which they are born." (Prospect Magazine August 2005)

ORIGINS OF MODERN MUSLIM TERRIORISM

Islamic terrorism in its present form can trace its roots to the foundation of Muslim Brotherhood in 1928 in Egypt.  Previous historical events were Britain's promise of a Arab homeland to T.E Lawrence's Arab army in 1916-17, the way Britain and France were meanwhile dividing up the middle east in the Sykes Picot Agreement of 1916., which meant the promise given to and by Lawrence was worthless, the defeat of the Ottoman Empire by Allenby in 1917, the end of the Ottoman Califate when the modern state of Turkey was established in 1924, the setting up of the Turkish Grand National Assemble or Parliament and British occupation of Egypt.  These all contributed to the establishment of the Muslim Brotherhood.  In the 1940's one of its leaders, the Egyptian literary critic Sayd Qutb, spent two years in America, an experience which turned him solidly against the West in general. Before his execution in Egypt in 1966, he wrote a book entitled 'Milestone' which is available on the internet at YoungMuslims Canada.

It was Qutb who developed the modern ideas of Jihad, and writing about Sura 9:111 and Allah's bargain fo the Shahid, he chids those who will not accept it: "The deal fills us with awe. Yet those who are claiming to be Muslims everywhere...are sitting idle, unwilling to strive hard in order to establish the fundamental truth of Allah's Lordship on earth, or to remove the tyranny which usurps the qualities of Lordship over human life on earth [ie non-islamic governments].  They are unwilling to fight, kill and be killed in Allah's cause."Outb reminds jihadists that they should rejoice in the bargain, just as the Quran says the followers of Mohammed did: "Ye did indeed wish for death before ye met him" (Sura 3:143). He asserts that they should hope for death in battle, and encourages modern mujihadeen to seek death in nthe worldwide jihad- or 'struggle' - to impose Islam and eliminate its enemies.

According to the NubaSurvival website, Qurb, the Indo-Pakistani radical Abu al-Ala Al Mawdudi and the Ayatollah Imam Khomeini were the three prime sources of modern militant Islamic theocratic ideology. Mawdudi saw Western morality as barbarian, and argued for the imposition of an Islamic state. Khomeini told a conference of Islamic clerics in 1981: "Quran says kill, imprison. Why are you only clinging to the part that talks of mercy?" He said: Those who know nothing bof Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those {who] say [this] are witless. Islam says: Kill al the unbelievers just as they would kill you all!... Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword."

Quarb saw unrestrained capitalism, individualism, promiscuity, decadence and globalisation as threats to Islam, rather as we might see them as threats to Christianity.  His answer was to revive the old ideas of expansion, and to propose, contrary to Arab nationalists, that the homeland Muslims should fight for not a piece of land but the whole Dar-al-islam. It followed that any part of the world which hampered the spread of Islam or failed to operate Sha'ria was Dar-al-Harb.  Another member of the Muslim Brotherhood was Abdullah Azzam, a Palestinian university professor who became the mentor of Osama Bin Laden.  Bin Laden himself is said to be or have been a members of the Muslim Brotherhood, but with so many other connections to the Brotherhood, it hardly matters.

So islamic terrorism is relatively new, but the intellectuals who have developed it have built it on foundations which are solidly in the Quran and Hadith.

The identified threat is that of globalise fanaticism - presented in duplicitous ideological terms as "progressivism". It is a threat directed by an elitist and globalise oligarchy who use a worldwide conflict-fomenting stratagem for the purpose of achieving total control. To that end, they have engineered: a 'no borders, no limits' coalition of anti-natives genocidalism; a supremacist religion of terror; and global corporatist industrialism.

This is a psychopath that endorses numerous, grotesque anti-native practices, including: a power/servility fetishism; perpetual and radical societal re-engineering; targeted genocide (and, especially, of population replacement in Europe); child abuse; perverse sexual behaviour; contempt for the 'other' (non co-religionists); and a highly manipulative and malevolent use of psycho-sociological control techniques.

An effective response to an escalating global threat can be achieved by positive means - by a renewal of indigenous cultural and spiritual traditions in which are to be found qualities such as: an experientially acquired native wisdom; a true appreciation of the value of kinship; an understanding of the debt owed to one's ancestors and the duty toward future generations; a willingness to directly resist and confront that threat; altruistic courage; and an undaunted resolve.

Increasingly, we (native Europeans) will have to physically defend ourselves and our homelands from the consequences of the actions of the supremacist global psychopath. A successful defence can only be achieved outside of the globalises' controlling narrative. A restoration of our own, authentic cultural and spiritual traditions can provide us with a good moral basis for that defence - and the likelihood of a successful outcome.

Notably, the approach outlined in the full report (see below) also provides the means for the creation of natural alliances between the native people of Europe and other native groups throughout the world.
