DOUGLAS MURRAY: LONDON’S PRO-PALESTINE RALLY WAS A DISGUSTING ANTI-SEMITIC SPECTACLE

Thousands of anti-Semites have today succeeded in bringing central
London to an almost total standstill.
They marched though the centre of the city before congregating to
scream outside the Israeli Embassy in Kensington. It was interesting
to watch this rather non-diverse crowd pass. Most of the women seem to
be wearing headscarves or the burka, while their men-folk were
naturally more appropriately dressed for a sweltering summer day.
But what a picture. These are the people who stayed at home throughout
the Syrian civil war, stayed at home when ISIS rampaged across Iraq,
stayed at home when Boko Haram and Al-Shabaab carried out their
atrocities across central Africa and showed no concern whatsoever when
the Muslim Brotherhood was running Egypt into the ground. Yet they
pretend to care about Muslims.
And here they all are, coming out to scream because Israel is carrying
out the most specific and targeted campaign in the history of warfare
in order to stop Hamas – a group dedicated to the annihilation of all
Jews – from firing thousands of rockets into the Jewish homeland.
I suppose some of the people in London today might still try to
pretend that they don’t hate Jews. Perhaps some of them would not even
do what their co-religionists in France did last week when – intent on
violence – they blockaded worshippers inside a Synagogue. But there is
only one explanation for their horrible beliefs and actions.
The truest expression of their views was given voice a few years ago
by the popular al-Jazeera star and leading cleric Sheikh Yusuf
al-Qaradawi when he said:
‘Throughout history, Allah has imposed upon the [Jews] people who
would punish them for their corruption. The last punishment was
carried out by Hitler. By means of all the things he did to them –
even though they exaggerated this issue – he managed to put them in
their place. This was divine punishment for them. Allah willing, the
next time will be at the hands of the believers.’
Sheikh Qaradawi himself is no longer lauded by a Mayor of London, but
his disciples flooded the city’s streets today. What a disgusting
sight to see in our capital.
