LSE Audience Throws Out Anti-Israel Motion

LSE lectures, open to the public, send me brochures on thier lectures and three years ago, for a few months, several lectures were preaching the opposite. Professor Hochhauser has done us all a big big favour. Applause!

Good stuff. Muppets like Chalcraft don't have a chance when their views are subject to scrutiny.

Now how long before Prof. Hochhauser gets slandered on Wikipedia?

Seems the haters didn't like the result of the debate ...

Sounds about right - we don't mind debating with you, provided you agree with us afterwards, otherwise we'll beat you up!

40% supported an antisemitic motion. Not what I would call cause for celebration.

I agree, but that's what is has come to in the UK of 2011.........

"Whilst we are hosting this listing, LSE Events does not take responsibility for the running and administration of this event."

We only host it. Nothing to do with us, guv. We saw nuttin'.
Typical leftie scum.
Remind anyone of the Law Society?

I wonder what the result would have been 5, 10 or 15 years ago though. The far-left has always hated Israel from the days of Attlee and universities are pretty radical places.

Mr Hoffman, you should be scared. 55% is a very narrow margin. 10 years ago it would have been a 90% margin. Support is slipping away fast. Remember too that the question asked was whether a boycott was helpful or not. There is a clear implication that something needs to be done about Israel, if not a boycott then something else. Those who do not think that a boycott is the way may well have other sanctions in mind.
When even people like Tzipi Livni describes a wave of evil in Israel, you should recognise that you are losing support and fast. Tzipi is not the only one who has noticed what is happening.

It will be interesting to see if you resort to the usual default position "she is a self-hating" jew etc. etc.

I agree, Jonathan - that was sort of implied in my comment. This country is now a sewer.

"something needs to be done about Israel"

Spoken like a true filthy antisemite.

Martha Mundy? Another name to bear in mind with revulsion, then. British 'academics' behave more and more like Neanderthals.

"There is a clear implication that something needs to be done about Israel, if not a boycott then something else."

In your demented brain, Waterbrain......

This country is now a sewer.

Yes but the US is just as bad, if not worse, and the rest of Europe is in dire trouble.

The problem is that it takes brave people to speak out for Israel, because the other side has the ever-present threat of violence on their side, and radical Islam, which everyone is scared sh*tless to even talk about, let alone confront.

Yoni addressing Jonathan. Talking to the mirror perhaps. A nice ploy but nobody will be fooled
As to Mr Hoffman's suggestion that the fact that "something needs to be done exists only in my demented brain. Sorry, but Tzipi also thinks something needs to be done. She says --
"An evil spirit has been sweeping over the country, and it is our duty to stand up against this wave"
Over to you. Tzipi wants you to stand up against the evil spirit sweeping over Israel. Will you help, Mr Hoffman, or are are you ok with an evil Israel?

A nice ploy but nobody will be fooled

You were, but then, you are a fool.

Sorry, but Tzipi also thinks something needs to be done.

Maybe she was talking about a Cast Lead II, which would then be the most intelligent thing she said until Cast Lead I.

It's funny too how the same people who were calling for Tzipi to be arrested for war crimes are now quoting her!!

And you come here talking of evil?

You seem to imply that Waterdrop uses double standards.

Except that it's not a 'ploy', Jose, other than in the 2-cell brains of antisemites, since Jonathan and myself are distinct people who have never even met.

Double standards of this kind are of course a sure sign of mental illness and hatred for mankind, as well as you-know-what.

Just I-know-what in fact. These kind of guys have no love at all for humanity, which explains why they don't care about any war crime and human rights' abuse in the world. Except those allegedly committed by Israel, because it allows them to blame Israel and the Jews.
The rule of the game is to find whatever 'reason' to blame Israel and the Jews, while the 'reason' itself has no importance whatsoever for them.

Livni is an antisemite when judged by the yardstick usually applied on this blog. Here is the link again
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/jan/10/evil-spirit-israel-tzipi-liv...
She says the country (Israel) is being swept by a wave of evil and wants us all to stand up against it.
In law, Mr Hoffman, silence denotes assent. If you don't denounce her, you agree with her as indeed I do. But if a member of JFJFP said exactly what Livni has said, you would not hesitate before denouncing the person as a self-hating Jew and an anti-semite. Double standards or what? Mattpryor says double standards are an indication of mental illness. He could be right

Livni is an antisemite when judged by the yardstick usually applied on this blog

Your yardstick has about 36 inches less than mine. Livni doesn't criticise only Israel or does not criticise it for the same ills one can find in any democratic country.
She is just unintelligent and mistaken.

You, Waterdrop, is the one who applies double standards.

"In law, Mr Hoffman, silence denotes assent"

What is this deranged loon screeching about this time?

The fact is that Waterdrop doesn't even understand what double standards are. No wonder why he applies them so often while someone with some brain would avoid doing that.

Birdbrain, there is nothing antisemitic about saying "Israel is being swept by a wave of evil"

You need to read the EUMC Definition

Hmm, I seem to have been censored.

It's not antisemitic to criticise your own country: Livni is entitled to do that.

It IS antisemitic to obsessively demonise one (and usually, only one) foreign country, using antisemitic lies in the process.

Thanks Mr Hoffman, you are right. There is nothing wrong with saying that Israel is being swamped by a tide of evil. It is a simple statement of fact, but I never thought you would admit it. It will revisit you every time you call someone an anti-semite for criticising the racist state.
Fantastic news that the Bay company stores of Canada, and now the John Lewis partnership in UK have banned Ahava products. Will someont please pass the news to the EDL? As an anti-fascist I dont know how to contact them

"There is nothing wrong with saying that Israel is being swamped by a tide of evil."

Peabrain, that is not what I said.

I said "there is nothing antisemitic about saying "Israel is being swept by a wave of evil" "

Like all your revolting kind, you distort, twist and manipulate what pro-Israel people say.

It will revisit you every time you call someone an anti-semite for criticising the racist state.

Interesting to note the antisemitic admission of Waterdrop.
For him, not only Israel is a "racist state", but it is the ONLY "racist state", ie "the racist state".
For him, Iran is not a racist state. For him, Saudi Arabia is not a racist state. For him, Sudan is not a racist state. Etc.

Double standards are a sure sign of antisemitism.

As an anti-fascist I dont know how to contact them

Then, you are an Armchair anti-fascist.

But as an active antisemite, you should be able to do it, Waterdrop!

".......the John Lewis partnership in UK have banned Ahava products"

Prove it, peabrain

Mr Hoffman A tide of evil, a wave of evil. Lets compromise and call it a tidal-wave of evil. At lease you don't disagree with the use of the word evil as a description of the racist state.
As far as the John Lewis partnership is concerned I have no personal knowledge about their decision to ban Ahava from their stores. Possibly they are concerned about a successful criminal action.
Anyway it seems to be a fact here is the link again
http://www.commondreams.org/newswire/2011/01/14-0
Don't be too hasty in denying it Mr. Hoffman, you've been eating a lot of that humble pie recently.

Looking at the comments above, observing waterman is like watching an accident over and over.

At lease you don't disagree with the use of the word evil as a description of the racist state.

Interesting to note the self-confirmation by Waterdrop of his antisemitism.
For him, not only Israel is a "racist state", but it is the ONLY "racist state", ie "the racist state".
For him, Iran is not a racist state. For him, Saudi Arabia is not a racist state. For him, Sudan is not a racist state. Etc.
Double standards are a sure sign of antisemitism.

Waterbrain, you stupid Jew-hating pr*ck:

I said "there is nothing antisemitic about saying "Israel is being swept by a wave of evil" "

I made no comment about whether I agreed with the statement and you have no f*cking right to assume my views

We will see what John Lewis has to say. The last time they were accused of a boycott, it was a total fabrication. I understand they will be making a statement.

You claim to be an "antifascist". You are of course a fraud, since you behave in a fascistic way on this blog.

People like waterman pretend to be anti-fascist and anti-racist - except when it comes to Jews.

waterman, take your irrational hatred somewhere else.

Hi Mr Hoffman
Sorry you think I am fascistic. You would know more about Nazis than I do. Did you know that you have set an international trend? The Kahanist fascists of Toronto, the Jewish Defence League are working with the English Defence League, just like you. Birds of a feather.
Mind you both you and the Nazis might be able to rest up on Saturdays in future. Looks like Ahava is on the way out

http://www.jewishtribune.ca/TribuneV2/index.php/201101123882/Despite-con...

But Amber, hating Jews and lying about them is his hobby. He'll have no point to his life if he can't indulge this hatred. He might even top himself.
And then again ...

"You would know more about Nazis than I do"

Highly unlikely, as you obviously get all your Jew-hating bile from the neo-Nazi sites you frequent.

One has to wonder: why do scum like Jez and Simonson and Myopic and Millibrain come here, time after time? At each visit, they are shown up to be thick and ignorant Jew-haters. Does this cause them pleasure? Are they masochists?

Let's get this in perspective....A motion calling for an academic boycott of Israel received 45% support

That surprises me I don't know anyone that is much fussed about an academic boycott of Israel

But I know lots of people Jewish and non Jewish that feel that as a matter of urgency " something has to be done "

waterman, calling a Jew a Nazi is despicable. You should be thoroughly ashamed of your antisemitism. I have flagged your comment as offensive.

But I know lots of people Jewish and non Jewish that feel that as a matter of urgency " something has to be done "

HAHAHA... No doubt something has to be done: remove the HAMAS from power, dissolve the corrupt PA and replace it by real democrats that will start the negotiations without stalling all the time.
