From the article:
Unfounded claims that the Jewish state is committing a genocide. The amplification of every slander churned out by the anti-Israel lobby.
Unquestioning acceptance of casualty tolls that ultimately originate from the Hamas government in Gaza. Calls to boycott goods produced by Jewish communities in the West Bank….
Notice, too, the double standard. Whenever there is a grave matter in the news which might reflect poorly on this minority or that, or be exploited by extremists to justify prejudice and worse, the political class strains itself to speak with the utmost sensitivity.
See, for example, how cautiously they discuss the exploitation of white British children by Pakistani-heritage grooming gangs.
So cautiously that, until a half-informed Elon Musk blundered on the issue, many politicians simply didn’t talk about it, for fear that even mentioning it would prompt hostility or even violence towards British Pakistanis.
When it came to Israel, however, all caution was cast aside. Even as reports recorded appalling, street-level anti- Semitism being directed at Britain’s Jews since October 7, 2023. Even as communal organisations pleaded with politicians to tone down the rhetoric lest it push some already unstable or fanatical character just enough to snap.
He’s aiming at Scottish politicians in particular here, but it was no better south of the border.
And we can add the BBC to the list.
