Everybody Loves Israel - Alf Cengia -http://www.omegaletter.com/articles/articles.asp?ArticleID=8236
Did you hear the fantastic news? Everybody loves Israel. The Jews are the darlings of the world. Benjamin Netanyahu has been nominated for the next Nobel Peace Prize. He informed the media press that he was embarrassed by all the attention. No, really!
Oh...and did I tell you that I was a six-foot-five blonde Norwegian movie star?
As you may be aware, the British Labor Party and the Oxford University Labor Club have had to respond to a string of anti-Semitic comments made by its members. In fact, even before Jeremy Corbyn became the party leader, his defense of certain individuals drew unwelcome attention.
Labor party member Ken Livingstone was recently interviewed by the media over party member statements about Jews and Zionism. The interview was labeled a "car crash." I'd call it a Monty Python revealing moment. The more Livingstone was asked to defend careless remarks by his comrades, and the more he denied anti-Semitism, the deeper a hole he dug himself into.
According to Livingstone:
"A real anti-Semite doesn't just hate the Jews in Israel, they hate their Jewish neighbor in Golders Green, or in Stoke Newington - it's a physical loathing."
Well that didn't come out quite right. On Hitler and the Jews he claimed that: "...There were private meetings between the Zionist movement and Hitler's government that were kept confidential."
It soon became apparent to many observers that Livingstone was part of the problem. Media pressure forced Corbyn to order an independent investigation. Livingstone and several party members were consequently suspended.
