Thousands of anti-Semites have today succeeded in bringing central London to an almost total standstill.
They marched though the centre of the city before congregating to
scream outside the Israeli Embassy in Kensington. It was interesting to
watch this rather non-diverse crowd pass. Most of the women seem to be
wearing headscarves or the burka, while their men-folk were naturally
more appropriately dressed for a sweltering summer day.
But what a picture. These are the people who stayed at home
throughout the Syrian civil war, stayed at home when ISIS rampaged
across Iraq, stayed at home when Boko Haram and Al-Shabaab carried out
their atrocities across central Africa and showed no concern whatsoever
when the Muslim Brotherhood was running Egypt into the ground. Yet they
pretend to care about Muslims.
And here they all are, coming out to scream because Israel is
carrying out the most specific and targeted campaign in the history of
warfare in order to stop Hamas – a group dedicated to the annihilation
of all Jews – from firing thousands of rockets into the Jewish homeland.
I suppose some of the people in London today might still try to
pretend that they don’t hate Jews. Perhaps some of them would not even
do what their co-religionists in France did last week when – intent on
violence – they blockaded worshippers inside a Synagogue. But there is
only one explanation for their horrible beliefs and actions.
The truest expression of their views was given voice a few years ago
by the popular al-Jazeera star and leading cleric Sheikh Yusuf
al-Qaradawi when he said:
‘Throughout history, Allah has imposed upon the [Jews] people who would punish them for their corruption. The last punishment was carried out by Hitler. By means of all the things he did to them – even though they exaggerated this issue – he managed to put them in their place. This was divine punishment for them. Allah willing, the next time will be at the hands of the believers.’
Sheikh Qaradawi himself is no longer lauded by a Mayor of London, but his disciples flooded the city’s streets today. What a disgusting sight to see in our capital.
