Israeli historian attacked by Islamists in U.K.

Here’s a harrowing story from last month about the state of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiment in the U.K.:   

“It’s very sad but I felt physically threatened in the heart of London”, [Israeli historian] Benny Morris told me in a telephone conversation. 

Several days ago, on his way to speak at the London School of Economics, the Israeli historian encountered the tragic reality of “Londonistan”, as the journalist Melanie Phillips labelled the British Islamization.

On the way to his talk, Morris was almost lynched by a mob of leftists and jihadists. He was walking with his wife towards the LSE, when he was accosted by a group of keffiyah-ed Muslims who, recognising him, started hurling abuse, shouting and screaming in his face that he was a “fascist”, “murderer”, “racist” and that UK shouldn’t have let him speak.

Later in the article, Morris comments:

“I felt like a Jew in Berlin in the 20’s … Freedom of expression has been severely limited in Europe about the conflict in the Middle East. Israel is an absolute taboo in Europe, as well as criticism of Islam and of the Arab world. European leaders never say ‘Islamic terrorism’, but ‘International terrorism’.”

No one covers the disturbing rise of anti-Semitism in the U.K. better than the above-mentioned Melanie Philips — if you haven’t bookmarked her blog already, do it today. And check out Front Page, where there’s more on this sad and shocking story.

    I love Isreal and I hope that relations between Isreal and the U.S.A. can be restored quickly. We need to stop the Muslim invasion in both countries.

    I am the oldest child of two survivors and it is hard to beleive it is happening again.To save the Jews we must save America first.This starts with stopping Obama first.There must not be any “Londonistan” in America.If the America my father came to survives Israel and the Jews will.

    It is just a revelation that what the Lord said would come to be in the last days. It is called Jacobs trouble in the proohets. We must pray for the peace of Israel. They are our friends and we theirs

    Morris believes that Israel’s ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians in 1948 didn’t go far enough, that Ben-Gurion should have evicted all of them. He should expect such a reaction.

      Reread the history books and you’d see that within 24 hours of gaining their independence, they were attacked by Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq. I don’t blame them one bit.

      Had Ben Gurion evicted the whole Arab muslims after the 1948 war we would have seen a more prosperous Israel, maybe a better worldview of Israel through the world perspectives.

    Germany is being over-run by Mosques and
    Muslims. It sounds like Germany is again on the
    rise. Not Nazis this time, but Muslims! It
    has to be stopped from the inside of Germany!

    Truth stings those who see only hate and enjoy hating. A movement that thrives on hate becomes blind to truth. However, those that speak the truth cannot accomodate the hate and give it legitamacy by ceasing to tell the truth.

    A sad day indeed. But this is reality in Europe and I do agree that this type of behaviour will soon invade the shores of the US.

    How sad is this! It breaks my heart that our Lord’s brothers and sisters are treated this way! What’s even sadder is that Muslims and Jews are family

    I think that England and Europe and the USA better wake up. I think Jews are only safe in Israel now..the world is mad once again, totally insane and seems to “forget” their brutal, anti-Semitic histo

    Its a shame that the very laws that protect our enemies hinder the honest god fearing people. All I can say is by what they have done they have shown again that their belief is violent, power hungry,radical thinking, uneducated thinking,and shows the world that they don’t worship god. Because god doesn’t need our help to overcome his enemies. It shows that they worship satan and revel in his way of hurting and killing.

      When it comes here be thankful for the 2nd Amendment, because muslims will be removed.

    I wonder what Norman Finklestein would have had to say about all this?
