The UK continues its slide....

A nice piece by David Horovitz from the Jerusalem Post on anti-semitism..but these paragraphs leapt out...

At a conference in London this week, 125 members of parliament from 40 countries solemnly put their signatures to a document that commendably acknowledges the morphing of anti-Zionism into anti-Semitism, and expresses alarm "at the resurgence of the old language of prejudice and its modern manifestations - in rhetoric and political action - against Jews, Jewish belief and practice and the State of Israel."

The venue was appropriate, indeed. As Natan Sharansky told The Jerusalem Post from the conference, "If you look at the new anti-Semitism, the leading force is the UK."

The same UK where, just days before the Conference on Combating Anti-Semitism convened, that bible of the modern Left, the Guardian, allowed the Islamists to further skew and poison its readers' minds by publishing an op-ed by Hamas's Health Minister Bassam Naim that bewails the "demonization" of Hamas and duplicitously claims "Our struggle is not against the Jewish people, but against oppression and occupation. This is not a religious war. We have no quarrel with the Jewish people." (His movement's guiding charter, Article Seven, proclaims the sorry truth: "The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said: 'The Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.")

Naim, incidentally, is the uncle of Anas Naim, who was described as a medic from the Palestinian Red Crescent in the Palestinian media when he was killed during Operation Cast Lead in Gaza City on January 4, but who, as the Post reported this week, is shown in numerous pictures on Hamas Web sites posing with an RPG and a Kalashnikov assault rifle.
