It’s not just MP Jenny Tonge who would consider becoming a suicide bomber to kill innocent Israelis if she were a Palestinian.

From AP:

Just under half of British Muslims questioned in a poll released Sunday said they might consider becoming suicide bombers if they lived in the Palestinian territories, and more than one in ten said further terror attacks on the United States would be justified.

Perhaps even more scary:

An overall sampling of Britons asked the same question found that 15 percent said they might consider becoming bombers if they were in Palestinians’ shoes.

Says commentator Tom Gross, in correspondence with HonestReporting:

The Guardian newspaper, perhaps because it fears the results of its own poll, tucks these results at the very end of an article on today’s front page and does not give prominence to them in its headline.

If people are wondering how so many Muslims and non-Muslims came to formulate such views, they could start by examining the consistent inflammatory misreporting and lies about the Israeli- Palestinian conflict in The Guardian itself in recent years, and even more so by the BBC, the world’s biggest radio and television broadcaster.
