Hypocrisy

It starts off with a quote from Amos Oz, a famous Israeli author. The chapter, one of several written by Chas Newkey-Burden of OyVaGoy fame,  in a book entitled "Not In My Name - A Compendium of Modern Hypocrisy", is one of the clearest examples of how Israel is held by the world to a different standard from the rest of the world. 

‘When my father was a little boy in Poland, the streets of Europe were covered with graffiti, “Jews, go back to Palestine,” or sometimes worse: “Dirty Yids, piss off to Palestine.” When my father revisited Europe fifty years later, the walls were covered with new graffiti, “Jews, get out of Palestine.”'

The rest of the chapter can be found here. It's more than worth a read. 

In the meantime, as those of us in London enjoyed a beautiful, sunny Shabbat, with the worst noise being kids enjoying themselves, towns around the Gaza Strip were subjected to well over 100 missiles fired by Hamas and their terrorist sidekicks.

Last week, Israel sent 34 thousand tonnes of goods into Gaza. I can see why Hamas would retaliate in such a manner.
