An open response to James O’Brien at LBC radio
Dear James re: LBC radio – Ignorance and the support of terrorism I have just listened to a recording of yesterday’s show on LBC. I appreciate your role is to stir up trouble, create an emotional response and indeed, I would imagine the more people who talk about your show, both for good and for bad, the better your employers will probably like it. You … Continue reading An open response to James O’Brien at LBC radio
BBC – Guilty as charged
I do tend to write about most of the events that I go to, but walking into a room full of people who do not spend their time spreading lies about Israel is an odd circumstance for me. So despite the serious nature of the BBC Watch events this week, it was a refreshing experience and in an odd way I could relax; I was … Continue reading BBC – Guilty as charged
How Gresham College turned history and justice upside down
I didn’t get to go to and see the talk last month by Professor Sir Geoffrey Nice at Gresham College, but having watched the performance on video, I made certain I was going to be there for the second event. Whilst last night’s speech was focused mainly with the events on the Mavi Marmara in 2010, the first speech had been a more general discussion … Continue reading How Gresham College turned history and justice upside down
Antisemitism in Westminster and nobody cares. More politicians involved.
Last week, in my blog, I addressed a short speech by Gerald Kaufman that included ‘accusations’, that ‘Jewish money’ directs British foreign policy and a statement that Israel has fabricated most of the terror attacks to cover up the murder of Palestinian civilians. The story was covered widely in the Jewish press, both here and abroad, with all of the major Jewish papers covering the … Continue reading Antisemitism in Westminster and nobody cares.

The Kaufman Effect
Although this blog was written early this morning, I chose to release it first on the Elder of Ziyon blog rather than my own. Two days ago I sat in government buildings within the Westminster complex and witnessed classic antisemitic slurs. I have to say primarily, that whatever one thinks of the political position of the Arabs who were present, the antisemitism *did not come … Continue reading The Kaufman Effect
Jewish money. An evening with the PRC, Kaufman and classic antisemitic libels
It is 27/10/2015 and I am at 1 Parliament St for a ’roundtable event’ organised by the Palestine Return Council and hosted by Gerald Kaufman. I had not been to one of these before and therefore had no idea what to expect, but as all the names on the invitation were hostile to Israel, I was hoping for a little excitement. However, even I did … Continue reading Jewish money. An evening with the PRC, Kaufman and classic antisemitic libels
The *dangerous* idiots of academia
There is more than enough evidence to show that for over 100 years, Arabs have been making up excuses to kill Jews. This antisemitic drive, this inability to accept anything that is different, this backward, regressive ideology, took British Palestine and drenched it in Jewish blood. This violence led to partition and the creation of Israel. Despite this, those fighting the Arab corner have spent … Continue reading The *dangerous* idiots of academia
Stabbings, the Mufti and Enid Blyton – the week that was
As a child, I remember with fondness, reading and re-reading the adventures of Jo, Bessie, Fanny and Dick (the names changed in later editions for reasons that are not totally clear to me), who were four children living near a magical tree that took them to strange and wondrous lands. These stories of course were in Blyton’s tales of the ‘Enchanted Wood’. Today, somewhere in … Continue reading Stabbings, the Mufti and Enid Blyton – the week that was
A response on the Israel conflict
This is a piece written specifically in response to a comment left on one of my previous articles. Hi, Firstly, thank you for your comment. You obviously invested time and effort in writing it and more importantly I always appreciate dialogue. Words, negotiation and an effort to understand are vital elements of any future settlement. I always try to respond to *everything* so my method … Continue reading A response on the Israel conflict
An open letter to Theresa May, Home Secretary of the UK
Rt Hon Theresa May MP I spent the weekend of the 17 and 18th October 2015 at the School for African and Oriental Studies (SOAS) to attend a conference. SOAS was one of the specific universities “named and shamed” as an institution that gives a platform to extremists. The conference was the 10th Annual Conference of the SOAS Palestine Society titled ‘Settler and Citizens: A … Continue reading An open letter to Theresa May, Home Secretary of the UK
