All the love and tolerance happens in other liberal-left countries too, like Labour Party-led U.K.—only in this case the culprit is a Labour Party politician rather than a teacher or two (see blog entry below).
I wonder how many citizens and politicians on the liberal-left in Canada feel exactly the same way. I mean look at how they hate America.
Revolting sin of ‘Red Ken’By Arnold Beichman
THE WASHINGTON TIMESOne of the more revolting contemporary English politicians is London’s Mayor Ken Livingstone. He has just accused Israel — Israel, if you please — of “ethnic cleansing” and has described Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon as “a war criminal who should be in prison.”
His remarks came after vicious anti-Semitic attacks in England increased 42 percent last year over the previous year, according to the Simon Wiesenthal Center. During a recent press conference, Mr, Livingstone compared a Jewish reporter to a concentration camp guard.
Days before the Holocaust Memorial Day, Jan. 27, the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, an outbreak of violent attacks against Jews in north London left Jewish gravestones desecrated with swastikas.
The row about Mr. Livingstone, also known in England as “Red Ken,” began after Mr. Livingstone asked a London Evening Standard reporter Oliver Finegold (it’s all on tape) if he was a German war criminal.
Mr. Finegold replied: “No, I’m Jewish, I wasn’t a German war criminal. I’m quite offended by that.” The mayor then says: “Ah right, well you might be. But actually you are like a concentration camp guard. You are just doing it because you are paid to, aren’t you?”
Prime Minister Tony Blair has asked Mr. Livingstone, a Labor Party leader, to apologize, a request the London mayor ignored. Mr. Blair, who was instrumental in returning Mr. Livingstone to the Labor Party, insisted it was time for the London mayor to say “sorry.”
