Al-Jazeerah, CCUN, September 15, 2014

The Guardian of Zion reported yesterday that: “Tory chief whip attacks protesters' response to Gaza conflict and comparisons between Israel's actions and Nazi war crimes” Michael Gove stated,  “too many people are conflating legitimate criticism of Israel's general policies with straightforward anti-Semitism?"  

It would be enlightening to learn from Gove how he suggests that one formulate an appropriate kosher criticism of the Jewish State and its Jewish lobbies without being tagged as an anti-Semite.

Is criticism of the fact that 80% of Tory MPs (Gove included)  are friends of Israel a legitimate criticism of the Jewish state and its power?

Is the fact that 80% of the British conservative MPS care about Tel Aviv,  but  not  one of them has paid enough attention to Glasgow or Paisley a valid criticism?

Or is any such critique classified as Jew hatred that I will be accused of spewing once again?

Ignoramus ex-Secretary of State for Education Gove said, “protesters who are boycotting Israeli goods over Gaza need to be reminded that the Nazi campaign against Jewish goods ended with a campaign against Jewish lives.” The facts suggest the opposite.

It was the 1933 Jewish boycott of German goods that led to the most severe measures against German Jews and later European Jewry. 

It would be helpful if British politicians who decide to lecture us about  European and Jewish history  exhibit a minimal command of the history of the 20th century. It would be even more helpful if The Guardian of Zion chose to reestablish its position as the Guardian of the truth and offer a critique of the phlegmatic politician instead of blowing the Zionist Shofar.

The Guardian Of Big Money
http://www.gilad.co.uk/writings/the-guardian-of-big-money.html

By Gilad Atzmon

The Guardian is backing a "No" vote in the Scottish independence referendum.

“Nationalism is not the answer to social injustice,” the paper’s editorial suggested yesterday.
Not that I want to enter this debate. I am an immigrant in the UK and I do not feel entitled to take part in this discussion. However, this tense political situation deserves our close intellectual attention.

Is it really a coincidence that Britain is on the verge of tribal and nationalist fragmentation at the time the Middle East is going through the exact same process?

For the time being I’ll leave this question open.
The Guardian insists that ‘nationalism’ is not the ‘answer to social injustice,’ but can it support an argument to backup such a pompous statement?

What is it in the love to one’s soil and people that contradicts social justice? Is belonging to an extended national collective necessarily a bad thing?

If the Guardian had the courage to self-reflect it may as well realised that it is the anti British ideology that has been spewed by the paper, as well as the New Left, that led to the rise of Scottish nationalism. The reason is simple – the ordinary Scot may say  ‘If Britain has nothing to offer as an extended nationalist collective, we the Scots have a lot to offer instead.’

The Guardian may as well want to ask itself, how did it end up in the same camp with the big businesses and global banks? The answer is simple. Globalisation and New Left’s anti patriotism are intermingled. The New Left is there to weaken the state and break the Working Class into ID groups and by doing so preparing the ground for the invasion of big money and Global forces.  The Guardian of Judea had a major role in facilitating this unfortunate social change.
