BNP to place their own seals on ballot boxes

Like many historical far-right institutions the BNP employ a technique of mythmaking in order to convince their supporters that they are the only ones who see the world like the supporters do.... A lot of this mythmaking involves self-delusion. This BNP idea about preventing vote rigging strikes me as the kind of preliminary statement to support the BNP myth that they are the victims of democracy. The problem with the BNP is that every time they are defeated, for example in the debate on Question Time, the incident is spun so that the believers can continue to convince themselves of their own self-righteousness.... eg, after Question Time, a common BNP viewpoint was that the debate was rigged as the audience were biased against them, absolutely failing to recognise that the audience were not 'biased,' but were simply disagreeing with the fundamentals of BNP policy.

It appears to me, an Israeli seventy-something -year old woman, that Anglo-Jewry are in a far more precarious position in the UK than they were in the '30s. The Black Shirts were anti-semitic, no doubts about it, and the famous Cable Street battle is an honorable part of Anglo-Jewish history. Today, the situation is far more complicated. A government openly pro-Moslem, anti-Israel, allowing British military returning from battle to endure insults from fanatic Islamists. The UK establishment denies it is anti-Jewish, rather anti-Zionist, but it is obvious to all except those who do not want to see, that they are rabid anti-semites. The message coming out of the universities and the government-controlled BBC is loud and clear. Unfortunately, too many UK Jews prefer to keep their heads down, keeping " their eyes to the wall as the gentlemen go by". Many, too many equate Nu Labour values with the old time socialism which many embraced. They cannot, or prefer not, to admit that the establishment, an entity so proud of its "diversity and multiculturalism" is rotten to the core. These misguided Jews support the Anti-Fascists against the BNP and little consider that this so-called anti-fascist movement is far more insidious and dangerous than the BNP. Did anybody see the Anti-Fascists protesting when lunatic islamists abused the mourners in that little country town wher the coffins of fallen soldiers aew brought home? Where were the Anti-Fascists when boy scouts cried, "Death to the Jews" at the Memorial for Fallen Soldiers last November? If these silent Jews who just want a quiert life think they will get it by being "shtum", thgey are deluding thgemselves. IN some ways, unfortunately the 1930s are closer than they realise.

Your use of the term Nu Labour and support for the BNP kind of leads me to think that you are not quite what you say you are. I don't know where you are getting your information from, Haya Malka, but the government is anything but pro-Muslim and anti-Jewish. It does not allow returning troops to be insulted by Islamists. And it was only one sick Boy Scout, who was punished, who shouted "Death to the Jews". Oh,, and Islam4U, now banned, did not protest in Walton Basset.
You are more likely to be hurt as a Jew in Israel than in the UK, and at least in the UK there is freedom of religion for all Jews.

Haya Malka, I wouldn't go so far as to tar the British government with the antisemitic label, but I do understand your fears and agree with your core message. The government - especially members in constituencies with large Muslim populations like Jack Straw's Blackburn - are equivocal re Israel because they want to court and appease those voters. We can take little comfort from the 'Jewishness' of Foreign Secretary Miliband, an atheist with a Communist father, and avowedly pro-Palestinian mother.
On balance, I prefer the Tories to the present crowd.

I will only respond to you once since it is obvious that you are incapable of reading and grasping what somebody is saying. In no way did I support the BNP, and my facts acquired from the UK media are correct.
You certainly appear to have a problem concerning your personal status as a Jew, if you were to live in Israel, but that is not the issue under discussion.

Haya Malka, your righteous indignation and illiteracy are noted. But explain this, please
These misguided Jews support the Anti-Fascists against the BNP and little consider that this so-called anti-fascist movement is far more insidious and dangerous than the BNP.

As for the British media, what were you reading? Stormfront? Also, are you suggesting I go back to Israel? How charming of you.

ianlrabbak:
I said I would only write once to you as you do not seem to grasp what I am saying. I now realise that you cannot comprehend what I write as my "righteous indignation and illiteracy are noted." If you can bear with my illiteracy I will again say, that in my opinion the Anti-Fascist movement is not a bona-fide movement, and therefore even more dangerous than the BNP. At least with the BNP, our enemy has a name ftting its agenda. I have done my best to state my view, in the simplest manner, and surely even to one who considers me illiterate, it should be clear.
Secondly, why should I have even suggested that you "go back to Israel"? I don't know you, don't know if you have ever been to my country. I don't want to enter into a cybospace war with somebody in a blog forum, and truly I can see we canot have a civilised debate, so let's just ignore each other's blogs. Mine are too illiterate for your superior standards, and for me, you are a rather a confused blogger. Shabbat Shalom!
