Politic?

This is a blog dedicated to a personal interpretation of political news of the day. I attempt to be as knowledgeable as possible before commenting and committing my thoughts to a day's communication.

British Anti-Semitism

If there ever was a country that presents as an active breeding ground for jihadists, it must be Britain today. Its network of mosques serving a large Muslim population, many of whom are extremely sympathetic to the notion of violent jihad represents a non-assimilated proportion of British society. Particularly those ripe for recruiting into the ranks of the jihadis, encouraged and groomed by Arabic-speaking Islamic clerics who thunder against the iniquities the West visits upon Muslims, insisting that it is time the tables were turned.

Some of the most egregious examples of fanaticism were expressed by British Muslim clerics, or those on visitors' visas whose sermons to the faithful have led to the growth of home-born and -bred jihadis. Some have been extradited, some incarcerated, but barely a dent has been made in the invective and slanderous assaults against the West, and most particularly Zionists.

Interdiction has been a failed game, seemingly half-heartedly pursued, but pursued nonetheless in the wake of a number of gruesomely successful suicide attacks.

Despite which, the general atmosphere in Britain, even before the growing presence and success of slanderous public relations undertaken by Islamist agents who have successfully infiltrated public office and society at large, the general sympathy lies with the Muslim community. And it is the Jewish community which sees itself beleaguered by a growing incidence of anti-Semitism, linked, but not necessarily so, with Israel and Zionism.

The British are sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians, opposed to their oppression by Zionist Jews. This is a time-honoured position in general, simply more specific in nature. The great writers of British stock that have left a legacy of outstanding literature have also left a legacy of the kinds of ancient anti-Semitism rampant in Great Britain over the last millennium.

Jews have always been persecuted in Britain, from the medieval era with its blood libels, along with purposeful discriminatory conduct by the Church.

Institutional racism adores its stereotypical caricatures; they can be so overwhelmingly amusing in demonstrating how acutely the Jews, as a distinctively abhorrent race cling to their notion of themselves as diabolically clever. Clever at business enterprise, at banking, money-lending, at promulgating, through their control and acquisition of the news media, a view of themselves fit to control state institutions and the world at large.

Power-hungry, insatiable, cruelly given to sacrificing the blood of Christian children.

Britain loves its heritage and traditions, and sees no reason to abandon those which have served it well.

Its trade-union activists have been stringent in their rabid intent to boycott anything Jewish or Israeli, just as the academic community has led a pioneering European effort - not slow to spread elsewhere - to boycott Israeli academics. There is a patience, however, with the inconvenience of jihadi radicalism, seen as a justifiable response to the misery of a religion, a culture and a people forever oppressed - primarily by Jewish interests.

The British Broadcasting Corporation has coined new descriptives for terrorists, as 'insurgents', or as 'bomber', 'attacker', 'militant'. Anything but 'terrorist', for that designation is extremely offensive to the liberal-left cognizant of its effect on an audience that knows the word to be commensurate with Muslim extremists. Islamists, jihadis, fanatical Islam, in short.

An obvious assault on Islam, on the honour of Islam, and its Prophet, on the dignity of the Koran which encourages jihad. Above all offensive to ordinary Muslims as an unforgivable slur to their religion of peace.

British elites are famous for the slyness of their anti-Semitic thrusts within polite society, eliciting occasionally frank, occasionally conspiratorial guffaws of recognition. Spot-on, Old Sport....

In the House of Lords, in Parliament, in municipal government, slurs against Jews are constant and quite conscious. It is not necessarily a succession of British governments themselves that have encouraged this; they decidedly have not, and have attempted to discourage the propensity within society toward these poisonous attitudes.

The smear of anti-Jewish jibes lies deep in the fabric of British society. What might it take to expunge it? It has flexed its racial-besmirching muscle for a thousand years, and has always found renewal in world events. What could possibly rescue the society from its embrace of this enduring, habitual Jew-hatred now? It has ripened to a grand old age and as such continues to receive its society's blessing.
