The price of joining polite society

I have had enough. I am sick of being told by people who haven’t the faintest idea of my beliefs and circumstances what I ought to think or feel. And that especially goes for the people who’ve never been closer to Israel than a packet of dates in Waitrose.

I am sick of being told by the bien-pensants in Britain’s society what antisemitism is, could be, or is not.

I am sick of people like Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, who in a bleating and self-serving column in the Independent last weekend, claimed that she only didn’t go on Saturday’s Gaza march because she was nervous of being accused of being an antisemite, and then went on to define what she thought was antisemitism.

Well, Yasmin, aw, diddums. Wake up and smell the distinct whiff of hypocrisy. A very good reason for not going on the Gaza march is because the slugs come out from under their stones at these events, with their banners reading “We are all Hizbollah now.”
