Jew Mean, Israel Actually WON a round in BRITISH politics??

America's interest in British politics tends to be quirky. There have been quotes from prominent people insisting that England should stay in the EU, and pointing out "expert" testimony that the economy will crumble if they leave.

There have been reports on the fabulous Puke and Duchess and their brats and their travels. But there has been no interest in the antics of the Labour Party or the Tories, or whatever happened to get a bunch of people trampled at a football game nearly three decades ago.

BUT, in pandering to the literate Jews, who do tend to read a lot, there's been coverage of the odd case of a Muslim who made a moderately obnoxious remark BEFORE she became a member of Parliament...and has now been suspended for it. As most any Jew would say: "Go figure!"

WTF is going on with THIS?

Pretty surprising. Jews tend to consider England a mildly anti-Semitic country. It's the land of Shylock and Fagin, after all.

I doubt Jews or Israel supporters (which include Christians) would know if any particular political party in England is more or less anti-Semitic than the other.

They all know that the fuckhead who gave up his throne to marry some American bitch was a Nazi. The Chee-Chee twins, Chamberlain and Churchill didn't do much to help the German Jews, did they? But on the other hand, there's Disraeli.

So what can be made of THIS? We all know that if it was the reverse, and somebody made any kind of remark about Muslims that was negative, that person would probably get much worse than a "suspension." But to actually take ANY action over a remark critical of Israel (as opposed to Jews)? Very strange.

IF I'M BEING HONEST, all the bitch did was go back, unknowingly, to an old Will Rogers joke. Rogers joked that peace could be achieved if warring countries were simply separated. "The Irish and the English," he drawled. "Get the English away from there! Move them somewhere else! But don't say where, or the Irish will come and get them!"

It's very nice that she's apologized, but that always seems like a set-up. You might as well add, "I was forced to say it, but I don't believe it." It's very nice she was "suspended," even though you might argue that since being elected, she wasn't one of the maniacs demanding a boycott of Israel, and hadn't repeated the loose remarks she made before attaining a position of responsibility.

But there IS the question of harshly enforcing political correctness of any type. People should be free to say what's on their minds, and get the matter into the open. Let's not bury our hostilities, and not even allow humor as a safety valve. Within reason, (sans name-calling and jihad threats) point out our fears and frustrations. Take Roger Waters (please). Better he speaks out than silently funnels money to Hamas or something (you don't do THAT, do you, Wall-rus?)

When he says stupid things about Israel, and calls for a boycott, the opposition (known as SANE PEOPLE) can point out that Palestine is just as bad, if not worse. And that sanctioning innocent people (usually 30% or more of any country didn't vote for the people ruling it) is wrong.

Better that people say things out in the open than in secret private forums, where like-minded maniacs can escalate the scapegoating into violence.

Saying stupid things about Israel might also make Israel realize that they shouldn't do obnoxiously pushy and kikey things like take over extra territory for settlers because they decided they needed more room for their annoying spawn.

Bottom line, if people can't say anything about Muslims, then they should shut the fuck up about Jews, too. But I think it's better NOT to shut up, if what's being said is intended to be constructive and instructive. A prime example of this is ethnic humor. Should Chico Marx NOT have spoken in his ridiculous Italian dialect? Dialect comedians effectively shamed people into learning to speak properly. It's no different than Joan Rivers' fat jokes making Elizabeth Taylor angry and shamed enough to go on a fucking diet.

Sometimes making fun of people is a GOOD thing. Sometimes pointing out how offended one is by another's sanctimonious religious intolerance can help turn an Orthodox asshole into a Reformed one. Sometimes. Imagine.
