The Open Anti-Semitism of the British Labour Party
The London Times reports on the openly anti-Semitic
Labor Party campaign against the Jewish leader of the Conservative
Party, Michael Howard. This apparently is in appeal to British
Moslems, an ominous sign of how Moslem immigration can turn domestic
politics in a nasty direction. Let fans of terrorist groups like the
PLO immigrate, and how else do you expect the politicians to
respond?
The second picture has, of course, been doctored by Labour. The watch
and chain have been added. The relationship between the two poses is
obviously intentional; there is even an unusual knot in the watch
chain that appears in both. We are intended to associate Mr Howard
with Fagin, that is with a sinister Jewish criminal as seen by anti-
Semites.
This is part of the Labour pre-election campaign.
Another Labour Party
poster, to be seen on the Labour website, shows Michael Howard and
Oliver Letwin as two flying pigs. Recently Mike
O’Brien, the Trade
Minister, wrote an article for a Muslim newspaper that questioned
whether Mr Howard could be trusted to support Muslims.
Last year Ian
McCartney, the chairman of the Labour Party, compared Mr Letwin to
Fagin.
The posters have not been withdrawn since the first complaints were
made.
Yesterday, The Mail on Sunday rightly published two striking
photographs side by side. Both are carefully staged, with a Fagin
figure holding an old-fashioned pocket watch on a chain. The first is
a picture of Barry Humphries actually playing Fagin. The second is
a
Labour Party poster of Michael Howard, carefully chosen to fit the
Fagin image .
