Yesterday I was watching Jeremy Bowen on News at Ten inside Gaza talking to a \u2018leading Hamas member\u2019, Dr Ahmed Yusef amid the rubble of Rafah. When Bowen (a reporter who is often scandalously one-sided in his reporting of Israel) asked him about the Israeli bombing he repeated a version of Sir Gerald\u2019s words in the House of Commons one week earlier (\u201cWe had an IRA bomb in Manchester which destroyed much of the centre – we didn’t send troops over to Belfast to murder 1,000 Catholics\u201d). The Hamas representative, an apparently mild-mannered, smartly-dressed, middle-aged man said: \u201cWhen 14(sic) years and more the IRA bombing London and some British cities, I never heard that the British government sent F16(s) or any of the military might they have to destroy Belfast\u201d.
\nThe similarity between these statements cannot be coincidence.<\/p>\n

Thus a prominent British Jew provides the script for Israel\u2019s enemies, and just as Kaufman\u2019s false analogy goes unchallenged, so does Yusef\u2019s. My post of last week have been proven to be correct: Sir Gerald does indeed provide succour to Israel\u2019s enemies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
