Melanie Phillips notes an important commentary in the Daily Express. Leo McKinstry explains how anti-Zionism in the UK is just veneer for anti-Semitism:
A grotesque double standard now operates, where murderous Arab terrorists are hailed as ‘freedom fighters’ yet Israeli security forces are treated as fascistic thugs. No nation has been more demonised than Israel….
Questioning the right of the Jewish people to their own homeland, muttering about the influence of the ‘Zionist lobby’ on US foreign policy or cheering on the vicious terror group Hamas amounts to racial prejudice against Jews.
The tragedy is that antisemitism masquerading as ‘anti-Zionism’ is poisoning the civic culture of Britain and Europe.
