Kangaroo Court on Israel To Sit At Law Society

I don't get m'learned friend Jonathan Goldberg's argument. It's almost redolent of the "as-a-Jew" argument put forward by the IJV and JfJfP-ers.

tsam,

Do you think that The Law Society should lease their premises for a BNP conference?

JH

Did you disapprove of the Russell Tribunal on Vietnam too? Was that also a kangaroo court?

Or is it just this one?

Irrelevant and off-topic

Why is it off topic, Jonathan? It's about a Russell Tribunal. Just dismissing it as being off topic shows the problem with your argument.

Its funny, I expected:

I DON"T TALK TO COWARDS WHO DON'T USE THEIR REAL NAMES !!!

tsam,
Do you think that The Law Society should lease their premises for a BNP conference?

Jon, a good point, very well made.

Let's have an answer from the cowards' mutual admiration society:

Should the Law Society let its rooms to the BNP?

If the Russel Tribunal on Vietnam is Off Topic, then so is your question, Jonathan.

Would you go if they did Jonathan? Maybe you'd see some EDL friends there.

I think the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation and the BNP are very different groups and comparing them is both disingenuous and stupid. Maybe we could have a game of spot the difference here:

For what its worth JH, Unlike you, I'm happy to give a straight answer to your question on the BNP (or EDL, Combat 18 or any other fascist group you'd care to mention)

Oops! Pressed return too early.

My answer was NO.

Asamember of the mutual society we've been lumped in, Jon, I have to agree with you. But I would, wouldn't I, given that we are members of the same mutual appreciation society?

At last, a straight answer

So if the Law Society should not let its premises to the BNP, why should it let its premises to a show trial of Israel which brings together fanatical haters of the Jewish state, racists, supporters of terrorism and conspiracy freaks?

Jonathan, at least you got a straight answer. When was the last time you supplied one? If you can't tell the difference between the Russell Tribunal and the BNP, then you are beyond redemption.

JH,

Yes, it is initially a bit of quandary. But not if one really thinks about it....

People like Michael Mansfield certainly give it a veneer of respectability.

And of course, anti-zionism is very popular nowadays. It is de rigeur.

Moreover, The British Establishment is no fan of the State of Israel. It is in cahoots with moderate Jihadists. Of course, The Law Society is very much integral to the establishment. This is how the world works. It might sound a bit far-fetched, but I have to tell you that it is unfortunately true.

Er - is there such a thing as "moderate" Jihad?

Yvetta,

Moderate Jihad is not quite as indiscriminate as Bin Ladin's Jihad. World Isalmic take-over, but without sending planes into sky-scrapers.

Moderate Jihad?
Kosher pork?
A Jewish Pope?
Melodic Stockhausen?
etc
etc

JH,

" I say Jeremey. This fellow Mohammed over here, says that he won't actually personally fly a jetliner into The House of Commons. Now that's damn good news. Damn good!
He's a decent chap and owns part of The Emirtates.I think that he is the sort of Muslim that we can do business with."

tsam, why don't you answer Jonathan's question?
