London mayor Ken Livingstone’s making the most of his newfound notoriety. Now he explains to the Jerusalem Post why Israel is a bigger threat to world peace than Al-Qaida:
“The threat is from the policies of the current Israeli government, which in its abuse of the human rights of the Palestinians, typified by the shocking image of the wall being built around them, raises the temperature of the Middle East to a boiling point – thereby creating threats to all of us,” he wrote. “This policy acts as a recruiting sergeant to extremist groups such as al-Qaida who can pose as supporters of the Palestinian cause.”
