When in Doubt, Blame the Jews…or the Settlements

March 14, 2013 21:12 by

It may not beat the unbridled anti-Semitism expressed by British peer, Lord Nazir Ahmed, who, according to the Times of London, blamed Jews “who own newspapers and TV channels” for his 2009 jail sentence for his role in a fatal car accident. But you have to give Guardian assistant editor Michael White credit for trying.

The trouble started on Thursday when Times columnist Daniel Finkelstein posted a tweet wondering why the BBC had made no mention of the Lord Ahmed story. The tweet apparently annoyed White enough to generate the following unbelievable exchange, dragging settlements into the discussion for no reason:

And that was only the beginning.

As more people challenged White’s apparent need to bring Israel in out of the blue, White dug deeper into his position, sparring with everyone from Jeffrey Goldberg to host of Tweeters puzzled by his increasingly obscure arguments and insults.

Finally, White unleashed his best defense for the BBC’s failure to report thye brazen anti-Semitism from a Peer. The delay was caused by the BBC’s need to check its sources since Lord Ahmed’s interview was conducted in Urdu for a Pakistani network. It’s an ironic argument, especially in light of last week’s UN report clearing Israel in the killing of a child in Gaza which the BBC had previously – and incorrectly – blamed on Israel.

Standards do matter, Mr. White, but apparently not when it comes to Israel. Oh well, must be because of those settlements…

    There is a rumor that the Queen murdered Lady D and Dodi Alfayed, so the royal blood would not be “de-purified”, “un-purified” by MUSLIM blood. The Queen was apparently acquitted in a real court trial case about that.

    I don’t have nothing against all Muslims — as long as they’re not antisemite. What this “Lord” Nazir, this NAZI-R, is doing, is not good. HE IS no “Lord”. I am the and a Lord. He not. Period. I will have this legal once. This Nazir is a murderer, a reckless driver.

    I think it would have been good if Israel would have stated against him then. Israel shall NOT be shy. It does NOT help ONE single Jew on the world if Israel IS SHY.

    FUCK HAMAS AND HIZBOLLA IN THEIR ASS. period.

    The UK “GUARDIAN” so–called “newspaper”, a NAZI ENTITY, also SUDDENLY in the form of its former chief editor, DENIED its initial support for JULIEN ASSANGE of WIKILEAKS.

    Wikileaks is a good org which has mainly revealed extreme wanton murder by US soldiers in Iraq. Assange is still house-arrested and could be extradited via Sweden to USA, where he might, as Alex Jones of Inforwars DOT com reported, could be “executed or sentenced to underground FEMA laber camp”. This is abusive. Assange is falsely accused of RAPE in SWEDEN, when he has never committed that real extreme crime, two prostitutes there are bought and swedish justice is none, infiltated by Sarah Palin, a fanatic US “politician”.

    but when I went there, there were ONLY FULL ANTI-ZIONISTS there, TERRIBLE it was. TERRIBLE.

    … And here, this “Michael White”. White is good. I mean that now, you gotta pronounce is like: “WHITE is good …… pua “. HE LOOKS like A SKINHEAD NEONAZI, and … by what he says … HE IS ONE. !!!

    I would ARREST such “people” who say such gruesome lies. Incredible. Incredible is evry word, which comes out of this evil real devil michael white. he seems TO WANT to INDIGNIFY, ATTACK ISRAEL — over ANY sudo-”REASON”, which he CAN EVER come up with, and if there is NO reason, do it anyway. that’s his “motto”. he is a nazi. he is a genetic failure, or, has no education.no ethics.

    I would like all good People to come to my Forum:

    politics DOT forumcircle DOT com

    it’s free, virus-free, and you are encouraged to post there via TOR, the IP-scrambling browserbundle.

    I am appalled to recognize not only the old, but ever new kinds of antisemitism, which all of course stem from the permanent, old antisemitism. All antisemitism IS nazism. I will also work on theological-ethical writs. I hope Obama sees the antisemitism of too many americans, and that he acts against it. I am until now still confident he does, I do hope I am not naive here, but it’s possible. But I cling to the thought that he knows that racism is bad.

    maybe only some jerks abuse yahoo. dunno. pfua. gosh.

    I will support them of course. I was glad to have seen email from me to me, I went there before and was reminded of them by email. I’d never do them in the spam folder, but in a new folder in the email called anyhow. People should only put really abusive mails into their spamfolder. because it’s reported to the mail provider.

  6. The person who thumbed me up, is holy. Period. A Daughter or Son of G”d, WE – ARE – A – SOLDIERS – OF – HASHEM ELOHEINU.

    I had SUCH a nice short time overlooking what I wrote here, I almost got a heart attack, no :) , I was so happy and I innerly cried, but outwardly laughed, smiled in both self-contentness in spite of that extremest violence done to me by muslim radicals who beat me in the face simply like that, severing my lip from the face and breaking my nose, not even “radicals”, but “normal” muslim youngoes they were-.——- and i looked at the one constant thumb-up to me in EVRY post above in LOVE-SMILE toward that other person who seems to accept, tolerate, even like me. Thank You.

  7. I want to encourage not only Jews, but all Good, truly really Goode People to also comment here, and I do not wish to take up “space” here for non-sensical bullshit, but I do think that I bear a huge capability to simply think, and that in complex ways, but I do display that as easily understandable, as does Harald Lesch, not only astronomically a real scientist, but also critically and ethically one of my Idols beside Billy Idol and Albert Einstein and Friedrich Nietzsche.

    I was crying for real until just one minute ago. I thought “Ze Ulemad” is it now, ey. After I looked up to the ceiling, what I shall do. Asking G”d what I shall do. Ze Ulemad. Go out into the world and learn. Ahava.Love.

  8. I also need to officially sadly say: Read my nickname. I don’t want to repeat this sentence in the “I”-form now AGAIN. What was done to me, will hopefully, and should have, but does probably NOT have ANY consequences for those who did it. suddenly, unwarnedly. destroying me physically, and so my head-structure to sing. How I sang until this day when that happened, you all can not imagine. I sang halling, broadly, and so extremely loud and nice at the same time, that in the radius of some 20 square meters through the walls, wy voice laid a loud, very loud mid-tone and bassy and high BRICKHARD wave of exact, correctly toned and phrased, extreme sound.

    this i can’t do anymore.revenge.period.

  9. i hear of other cases where people were beaten or even “only” verbally racistically insulted, football (“soccer” :) ) -players, and others too, and they were physically attacked and damaged to a much lesser degree than me, were given some 10’000 or even more by some (good, not so bad) courts –

    YET, some abusive lawyers I PHONED up told me, “if you’re LUCKY, you’ll get 15’000 for RACIST violence!”. That lawyer WAS AN ASSHOLE. AN ASSHOLE. an ABUSIVE person. AND that was of course (!) NO jew. ! typical.

    then, some UKer gets 20’000 for a RAT in the mornin BREAD.

    I couldn’t even accuse those nazi-mussies in my case. I was forced to go to dangerous places due to hempstores-closure by police.!
