There was a right royal storm of politically correctness when a Greater Manchester Police consultant pretended, on exercise, to be a terrorist suicide bomber and shouted "Allahu Akbar" as he fake blew himself up. There was a national gnashing and grinding of teeth, outrage, shame and embarrassment.
By far too many people! the ones with their eyes wide shut. The ones who engage their mouths before they even slightly engage their brains. The panderers.
It was a case of the hee-bee-gee-bees. The trouble-risers and professionally obtuse got their knickers in a twist. Those who are insulted at the drop of a hat. Not the Christians who put nup with 'immaculate deception' all the time, Jews and anti-Semitism conveniently disguised as Israel-hate, Buddhists being told they are idol mad, Sikhs and Hindus accudes of being 'towel-heads' or even the little green men-following Scientologists whom actually area barrel of laughs.
No, it was the "others".
Many are purely and simply political activists, as opposed to people active in politics, a subtle-as-a-brick difference. They are like the rent-a-mob-crew who used to plague the Jewish-owned Kedem shop in Manchester or call anyone with off-white skin "Pakis" - the fickle type who have moved on and can suddenly be found protesting about fracking or campaigning for Brexit or Brexin, or whoever pays them the most in cash without disturbing their fortnightly signing-on sessions!
The type who were happy to be recorded on video ignorantly saying "the IDF was preventing Palestinians from fishing in the Dead Sea and shooting them if they tried".
They are empty vessels who, naturally enough, have made, and continue to make, the most noise.
But sadly, we keep pandering to their noise. And it has to stop. Spades have to be called spades, not earth-upturning-cum-load-shifting-implements. Otherwise the scenario where a church (in an ostensibly Christian country!!!!) says it is taking down crosses so as not to insult a certain sector of the community will only get worse. Calling Christmas anything but Christmas has to stop. If people don't like packs of Peppa Pigs, well don't buy them then. It's as simple as that - don't expect the remainder of the community to do without because it's 'not your scene'. I don't like football, so I don't support a team. nothing could be simpler. But I don't take to the street with a banner shouting "death to football supporters". If you don't want to serve bacon or alcohol, then go work in a DIY store, call centre or professional consultancy where you don't have to deal with food or booze. It's not rocket science. It's called integration.
PC stands for Police Constable, not Politically Correct - they have a hard enough task without being vilified for a current, real-life observation. "Alahu Akbar", may, alleged, be a praiseworthy statement, but it has sadly become currently very synonymous with death, destruction and misery.
That is why it was used, in a knee-jerk fashion, during the exercise.
No apology was needed. But people have to open their eyes.

To believe you have to have faith and to have faith you have to believe . . . . .
When you look back over history, while much misery and death has been the result of conquest (Norman, Portuguese, Dutch, British) or assassination (World War I), the greatest harbinger of murder, misery and miscellaneous death has always been that in the name of religion.
Now I have always found this rather perverse. Because people causing death in the name of religion, I believe, have something fundamentally wrong with them. Committing gross acts of murder and violence because one group of people believe in something scientifically unprovable over another group of people believing in something different that is equally scientifically unprovable, is inexcusable.
Could you imagine justifying the killing of someone because they don't believe that in the 7th Century, raspberries were actually blue in colour. There is no proof either way! They are currently red. Because we can see them, buy them and eat them for ourselves. Now throw into the mix a demonstration where the group of 'Blue Raspberrians' take to the streets with placards demanding "death to all non-believers in blue-raspberries" and you can see how twisted religion can really be.
I have no problem with people believing in virgin births. I have no problem if people believe their marital sins and wife-cheating can be totally absolved by telling a celibate man in a box about it. If a science-fiction writer declares that we are descended from little green men following a nuclear explosion in a galaxy far, far away (having admitted that he started his 'religion' thinking it a great way to make money), ok. You're the fool believing it and parting with 10% of your income. If you class it as 'creation and work' to flick a light switch on at home on a Saturday, yet you feel a three-mile walk in the pouring rain and biting wind without an umbrella, to sit in your house of prayer soaking wet for three hours and then face an identical walk home is not hard work, then good luck to you. Providing you leave me alone, I do not care. You can believe that we are all descended form nettle soup for all I care, providing you leave me and my people alone!
Strange though it may seem, regardless which side of the fence you sit on regarding religion, the majority of people tend to be upstanding citizens who, unless they have opted-out of religion altogether as either atheists or agnostics, tend to follow one of the current 4,900+ religions in the world today. And as I have said, good luck to them. It is just a small minority of ignoramuses for whom nothing will divert them from their narrow-minded, closeted and bigoted view on the world and anyone who is different to them.
Perfect harbingers of this deluded form of racism are the likes of the Klu Klux Klan and other assorted lunatic right-wingers, Islamic fundamentalists, and a very hotch-potch mixture of some very confused and quite nasty nationalists and socialists throughout the world.
But ask these sick individuals why they hate Blacks, Jews, Muslims or 'non-believers' and infidels, and they really cannot answer you.
Because they don't actually know themselves.
Their fathers did likewise, as did their grandfathers and their great-great grandfathers before them. So it has become simply a family legacy to be hateful, bigoted and racist towards fellow human beings. To accept ill-informed invective passed down through successive generations. To be devoid of any academic, social or educated reason for hating a group that is different to that of your own.
In this day and age, it is inexcusable. And to use being a complete ignoramus, is not a viable excuse either.

What exactly goes through the mind of the average BDS supporter?
The BDS - Boycott Divestment and Sanctions- is a movement, set up by an altogether mind-warped group of individuals under the aegis of a thoroughly contemptible and totally uncharitable Qatari named Omar Barghouti.
Contemptible, because Omar Barghouti was calling for his boycott before and while he attended Tel Aviv University in Israel to gain a Master's Degree in philosophy, rather than attain his degree at a Gazan, Qatar or other Arab university. Yet the democratic rules that apply to citizens in Israel meant that while calling for his boycott, despite a petition by Israelis, Israeli law was on his side to continue and complete his studies.
Could you imagine calling for a boycott of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Dubai or the Emirates from within any of those countries, let alone while studying at one of the universities located there? At best you'd be jailed for years, at worst, sentenced to death.
Uncharitable because, as a multi-millionaire, he lives the high life, either in his luxury apartment in Tel Aviv (Palestinians, meanwhile, are prevented from owning property in virtually all Muslim countries) or in his luxury apartment in Doha while Palestinians are forced to survive on less than $3,000 (except those who work for Israeli companies and enjoy wages at parity with Israeli workers - one of the underlying reasons the BDS are so keen to 'boycott' and thus render Israeli-employed Palestinians jobless when Israeli firms move on).
The one thing that sets the BDS movement apart from any other anti-social group in the world is that they hypocritically call for a boycott of Israeli goods and services while at the same time continuing to use Israel products themselves. They have Facebook pages; they use Apple products; they use Pentiums and Calerons; they use Twitter; they use the Windows operating system; they use smartphones to record their Jewhating rallies - in fact, they are so knee-deep in Israeli technology, that any sentient, normal-thinking person should be otherwise totally embarrassed to be associated with such a hypocritically hate-filled group.
The far more sinister side to the BDS is not just its association with the terrorist group Hamas (with it's published charter calling for the murder of Jews and the destruction of Israel), but the fact they are openly Jewhaters spreading Jewhate. They have - and continue to - demonstrate clearly on many occasions that they simply do not care about the Palestiniains thay the group was supposedly set up to help 'defend'. In total, the BDS have helped over 3,000 Palestinains in Israel lose their jobs over the past three years, 605 alone through forcing the relocation of SodaStream from the West Bank. Yet they defend their actions in closing (most companies they have forced to close have actually just relocated and as a result have ended up employing just Israeli citizens because of their new location) a mere handful of Israeli companies (with the loss of 3,000 Palestinian jobs) as "worth the course".
Yet they make no attempt to actually replace the incomes of those Palestinians they succeed in rendering jobless!
So who are the people who support BDS?
They fall into four broad categories:
Perhaps given the outing of anti-Semites in the British Labour Party, it is time these detestable people were theselves boycotted by normal, reasonable citizens.

So who are the people who support BDS?
They fall into four broad categories:
- The out and out Hamas-style Jewhaters who want to see Jews murdered and Israel disappear
- The simpleton and often right-wing anti-Zionists, Nazis and white supremacists who use it as an excuse to pursue their Jewhating agenda
- The naive people who are ostensibly good-hearted and misguidedly see Israel as the big brother and the Palestinians as the oppressed while failing to realise that it is in fact Hamas and the Palestinian Authority are the oppressors thought their usurping of world aid for their own end and have no intention of a peaceful settlement with Israel
- The rich and famous, many of whom have what appears to be an anti-Semitic streak and who treat Israel as their pet hate (while, of course, ignoring other countries with problems that are far, far worse than ANY of the problems that may be in the Israel area), many of them potentially just to further advance their careers with exposure to a new audience of ignorant, young, right-wing, closet anti-Semites - Roger Waters, Brian Eno and Annie Lennox are just three celebrities who fall into this (and, it must be added, sharing some attributes of #1 above) category, while the likes of British politicians such as failed LibDem Bradford MP David Ward, ousted Baroness Jenny Tongue and Labour MP Grahame Morris consistently demonstrate an inexplicable hate for Israel and even for Jews themselves.
Perhaps given the outing of anti-Semites in the British Labour Party, it is time these detestable people were theselves boycotted by normal, reasonable citizens.

Wake up world!
As Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaShoah) 2016 begins this evening
for 24 hours, perhaps those who are unsure about the predicament Israel
faces on a daily basis may care to view this short video of the
educational theatre that Gazan children are encouraged to perform.
Yes, I may be partisan, but how many of my true friends really blame me when I get rather heated in my reaction to the consistent demonisation Israel faces at the hands of a race who so clearly do not imbue any sense of peace whatsoever in their upcoming generations?
I remind you all that In 1999 the Palestinians were offered a two-state solution by Israel giving in to 99% of their demands. Yet Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian leader declined; the world was confused. Peace on a plate. Refused.
They were then given Gaza in 2005 in exchange for peace - meanwhile 11,000 rockets and several hundred million dollars worth of collapsing terror tunnels later - nada!
Yes, I do indeed feel sorry for the average, everyday Palestinian and the situation they are in. In spite of receiving tens of billions of dollars in aid and investment, Gaza has no infrastructure to speak of. It is a crumbling country, a failed state. It could by now have been one of the most advanced states in the Middle East had the money been spent properly and had they chosen to work with Israel instead of against it (something Hamas don’t want because it will ruin the 5-star luxury their leaders enjoy in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Dubai). It could have been a tourist hotspot (who knows, maybe Arab states competing for the tallest hotel in the world didn't want it to rain on their Guinness World record parade, and sacrificing a few Palestinians and getting the world's uneducated Jewhaters to cry "shame, all Israel's fault" was firmly on their agenda in the first place!)
Meanwhile in Gaza, roads are falling apart, hospitals are below poor (180,000 Palestinians have received treatment, without discrimination, in Israeli hospitals since 2005) and the infrastructure is some of the worst in the world.
All completely self-inflicted. Relying totally on blame-culture against Israel yet constantly and consistently crying to the world for help.
Meanwhile, Israel gets on with it, inventing technological marvels (this Facebook page for starters not to forget the Pentium and Celeron PC's you might be using and the Windows operating system installed thereon), continuing to share its scientific, medical and agricultural innovations with a world that is so quick to condemn and support thoroughly Jewhating organisations such as the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and the professionally antisocial and hypocritical Boycott movement (run, incidentally, by a Qatari Millionaire from Gaza, that is, when he's not in the luxury flat he owns in Tel Aviv following the Israeli Masters Degree he paid to study for in Tel Aviv University - is that not abject and hateful hypocrisy?)
Yes "Free Palestine", but it isn't from the Israelis they need freeing and it certainly should not continue to be free for the Palestinian elite to enjoy their millions and millions of dollars through the ongoing misappropriation of billions of world aid while citizens of Gaza continue to suffer.
If Martin McGuinness and the IRA could see sense - a sense that resulted in him shaking the hand of Her Majesty the Queen, a head of state he originally despised so much. then why can't the PA and Hamas?
Surely Palestinian citizens should be far more important than being impoverished, disposable pawns in the billionaire chess game that Hamas continue to play with such drama?
When will the world ever wake up?

When will the world ever wake up?
Free "Palestine"? Really? Yes! It certainly has been 'free' for the past decade or more
Consider the following:
· In 1999 the Palestinians were offered a two-state solution by Israel giving in to 99% of their demands. Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian leader declined; the world was confused. Peace on a plate. Refused.
· The Palestinian elite don't live in so-called “Palestine”; they live in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Dubai, predominantly in 5-star hotels, driving fine cars and eating in Michelin Star restaurants
· When Yasser Arafat died it was revealed that he had some $5billion (that’s $5,000,000,000) syphoned from international aid and deposited in Swiss bank accounts in spite of never working.
· $2.1 billion of world aid has been extorted thus far since 2005 by Hamas through tithes and taxes on anything entering the country. On top of this:
· Hamas senior Dr. Musa Abu Marzook is now worth over $2billion– he has not worked in past 12 years while acquiring this fortune
· Hamas senior Khaled Mashaal worth $2.6billion (lives in 5* hotel Doha) - he has not worked in past 12 years while acquiring this fortune
· Hamas senior Ismail Haniyeh is worth $3.5billion (lives in 5* hotel Doha - owns $4million, 2,500m2 plot of land in Gaza City and 13 houses in Gaza registered in the names of each of his 13 children) - he has not worked in past 12 years while acquiring this fortune
· President Mahmoud Abbas is worth around $100million - he has not worked in past 12 years while acquiring this fortune (except as President)
· Currently in Gaza (since 2001) there are now 1,243 Hamas millionaires, up from 850 in 2012 (President Abbas himself claims there are nearer to 1,800) as well as 1,450 "near" millionaires - apart from a very few entrepreneurs, none have earned this income by working
· The Gazan unemployment rate is about 29%, with Hamas-controlled yearly wage for Gazan workers averaging $2,900
Meanwhile . . . .
In spite of receiving tens of billions of dollars in aid and investment, Gaza has no infrastructure to speak of. It is a crumbling country, a failed state. It could by now have been one of the most advanced state in the Middle East had the money been spent properly and had they chosen to work with Israel instead of against it (something other Arab states and Hamas didn’t and don’t want). There roads are falling apart, the hospitals are very poor, the infrastructure is some of the worst in the world.
Germany was flattened after World War II. So-called “Palestine” is 50 times smaller than Germany yet has been gifted 35 times more money than German did to build a state and nation which they have steadfastly refused to do. Germany rebuilt itself in the same length of time it has taken Gaza to instead fire 11,000 rockets (average of five a day) into Israel and waste hundreds of millions of dollars building terror tunnels that are now either collapsing because they couldn’t even do that correctly or being destroyed by the Egyptians or Israel.
As soon as the people who are in control of so-called “Palestine” accept peace, they will get no more free money, no more 5-star suites in Dubai for the elite and all will actually have to live in Gaza themselves amongst their people.
That is why there is no peace.
Yes "Free Palestine", but it isn't from the Israelis they need freeing and it certainly should not be free for Palestinian leaders through their ongoing personal use of misappropriated world aid.
Wake up world!

Who is the ignoramus who coined the term “Israel Apartheid”?
I’ve been trying to identify the actual ignoramus who
invented the phrase “Israel Apartheid”, the one beloved by the Jew-haters who
use this factually, morally, and historically inaccurate term that does nothing
but attempt to delegitimise Israel and help foster anti-Semitism. Sadly, I had
little success.
Needless to say, what I did discover, was that this phrase has
its roots in the now totally unfit-for-purpose United Nations, filled, as it
is, to capacity with overpaid buffoons where, through its own partisan anti-Israel
resolutions which, by the UN’s own definition, is itself a haven of Apartheid
against Jews.
While virtually all Arab countries, without exception, don’t
themselves allow Palestinians any form of democracy or statehood, this is
conveniently forgotten by the useless and bigoted mandarins of the United
Nations. For example, the 300,000 Palestinians in Lebanon do not have
citizenship, are not allowed own property and cannot enter many ‘desirable’
occupations (law, medicine, architecture, engineering). Yet during 2014 there
were 20 UN resolutions against Israel (where 1.6million Israeli Arab
citizens are protected by equal opportunity that is enshrined in Israeli Law
and applies to each and every citizen) with the sum total of zero resolutions against
Lebanon!
That, to me, indicates something at the UN is broken.
Arabs in Israel, like Jews, Christians, other believers and atheists/agnostics
are allowed to freely do anything in Israel that is legal, decent and honest,
without fear of prosecution.
Meanwhile, in Saudi Arabia during 2014, remember, the year
of 20 UN resolutions against Israel and zero against Saudi Arabia, they continued
to try, convict, and imprison political dissidents and human rights activists
solely on account of their peaceful activities. Systematic discrimination
against women and religious minorities continues. Saudi Arabia does not permit
public worship by religions other than Islam. Detainees, including children,
commonly face systematic violations of due process and fair trial rights,
including arbitrary arrest and torture and ill-treatment in detention. Saudi
judges routinely sentence defendants to floggings of hundreds of lashes. Saudi
Arabia’s discriminatory male guardianship system remains intact. Women are not
allowed to visit a male doctor without their male guardians. Women are not
allowed to drive and they do not have an equal right to divorce and often face
discrimination in relation to child custody. There are male-only football
matches. And non-Muslims have to seek out an alternative road route should
their journey take them anywhere near Mecca.
Over 9 million migrant workers fill manual, clerical, and
service jobs in Saudi Arabia, constituting more than half the workforce. Many
suffer abuses and exploitation, sometimes amounting to conditions of forced
labour.
Then in 2015, with no UN resolutions against them for their
abuses of basic human rights, Saudi Arabia was appointed to head the UN Human
Right Commission.
In other words, the Un lunatics allowed their fellow Saudi
lunatics to run the UN asylum.
Even the most hardened or ignorant critic of Israel must be
able to see something is amiss here. Otherwise their sheer stupidity surely outruns
their already ingrained anti-Semitism.
Why we need to drop the term "anti-Semitism"
"Conflate"
"Zionism canard"
"Trope"
"Zionist control of the media"
"Apartheid Israel"
These are words beloved by the Jew haters formerly known as anti-Semites.
Let's face it. Anti-Semites, are, by and large Jew-haters. And should be referred to as so. Straightforwardly and simply as easy as that. Jews know these anti-Semites are Jew-haters. And while most of these Jew-haters themselves may not necessarily know, be it through their own blind ignorance, bigotry or a sad upbringing why they are so inclined, they know full well that they are too. Yes. Jew-haters. Modern-day Nazis. Nothing more and, quite despicably, nothing less.
And they all follow almost an identical pattern when they are engaged with. They become profane. They bully. They quote Palestinian blame-culture myths. And they are never ones to hide complete lies and fabrication under their bushels. They simply cannot let the truth get in the way of their blind hatred. And they trot out the words "Conflate", "Zionism canard", "Trope", "Zionist control of the media" and"Apartheid Israel" ad nauseam.
The likes of the extremely noxious Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) or the unbelievably hypocritical and thoroughly anti-social Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) operate in a totally closed cabal of hatred that festers with each successive Israeli success and each successive failure of the people, the Palestinians, they dishonestly claim to support. I say claim, because they prove, day-in, day-out that they couldn't actually care less for the plight of the Palestinians. All they care about is whipping up further Jew-hatred amongst their incredibly thick and non-objective supporters whose only concern is the demonisation of Israel, the demise of Israel and the murder of Jews.
It's there in black and white in the Hamas Charter. Push the Jews into the sea. Don’t rest until the Jews are gone. And ironically, the holy Koran itself actually preaches against such hatred.
The same people don't care that Hamas siphon off world aid that should go towards the Palestinian people, and instead has created over 1,600 millionaires and a further almost 2,000 near millionaires in Gaza since 2005, all on unearned income. They don't care that extrapolated out over 10 years since 2005, an average of five rockets a day have been dispatched into Israel. They don't take heed of the fact that if Hamas are going to attack Israel, it is an obvious result that Israel will retaliate. In fact, they prefer retaliation, hoping that one or more of their own will be killed, because in their eyes it is worth it that one of their own dies if the end result is condemnation of Israel by the world media and yet another partisan resolution by the useless and completely unfit-for-purpose United Nations.
The Jew-haters have a perverted love affair with the words "Conflate", "Zionism canard", "Trope", "Zionist control of the media" and"Apartheid Israel". Thus far, they have got away with, literally, murder, as they attempt to excuse their Jew-hate by it being "conflated with Zionism". Jew-haters are, almost without exception, the ONLY section of 'society' who use that term. It's a great scapegoat to help them disguise their Jew-hate. To accuse their detractors of 'conflating' anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism.
Utter rubbish! The PCS and BDS are nothing but bigoted Jew-haters. End of. Jews are not 'conflating' anything. It's a rock-solid fact. The PCS and BDS are simply unabridged Jew-haters! And their style of pseudo anti-Zionism is nothing but anti-Semitism and Jew-hate
Take the wonderful, modern-day fiction that the British media are controlled by Zionists. Really? Ask them precisely which media, and they immediately retort with profanity. Yes, it is true that both the Jewish Chronicle and Jerusalem Post are both controlled by Zionists. The clue is in their respective titles. And yes, the Daily and Sunday Express and Star were once owned by a Jewish man, but aren't now. And how about the Daily/Sunday Times, Daily/Sunday Telegraph, Daily/Sunday Mail, Guardian, Independent, London Evening Standard, Observer, Daily/Sunday Mirror, Financial Times, BBC, ITV, Sky, UK regional dailies and weeklies? I don't see many Zionists in control there. In fact I don't see any Jews in control there at all, let alone Zionists. Rupert Murdoch, the Barclay twins, the Rothemeres, Eugeny Lebedev - not very Jewish at all. Or am I mistaken and they are in fact closet Jews? Closet Zionists?
I don't think so.
By all means criticise the Israeli government. People always criticise governments. But don't use blame-culture nonsense as an excuse. Introduce some facts into the criticism. The rockets. The terror tunnels. The terrorism. The fake Palestinian propaganda. The fact that the world didn’t care less one way or another about the Palestinians before the 1973 Yom Kippur war (one of defence!). The fact that the Al Aqsa Mosque was built ON TOP of the temple mount (therefore AFTER the Jewish temple) and not only that Jerusalem is not mentioned in the holy Koran, but Muslims often pray facing Mecca with their backs to Jerusalem whilst Jews throughout the world have always prayed facing Jerusalem
But the constant demonisation of Israel and Jews has now become as utterly despicable as it is unacceptable. And it needs to stop.
Just try looking at yourself in a mirror and, if you have any sort of backbone whatsoever, ask yourself why?
Just ask yourself what you would do if you were constantly under attack in your own home from rockets. Or if a neighbour was borrowing a tunnel from their side of the road to yours in an attempt to murder your family. Or your neighbours stoned your car each time you drove past their house. Or if a neighbour told you to boycott Tesco while continuing to shop there themselves. Or if an elderly neighbour was waiting at a city suburban bus top and a youth drove a car or motorcycle into them in an attempt to kill them?
Well?
