Griffin denies he is anti-Semitic – after all I supported Israel!!Oh dear. This is becoming something of a habit. Everytime some loathsome fascist or racist rattlesnake gets accused of being anti-Semitic, what do they say? But I’m pro-Israeli!! I just love Israel’s attitude to Muslims (i..e they kill them). Of course this may fool those…

But Attendance Allowance is Still Under Threat As Disability Alliance Welcomes Government Proposals A little while ago I blogged about the threat from New Labour to abolish Disability Living Allowance – a benefit that had been introduced by the Tories in 1992 – and which helps ensure that disabled people have just about enough to…

Well what would know? Remember Israel’s boast? The only democracy in the Middle East. It would seem, however that the shine has somewhat come of that boast. In fact it is looking quite tarnished.

An interesting article by Haaretz commentator, Ari Shavit, on how Israel’s strength is being undermined politically by its growing illegitimacy. Tony Greenstein Israel needs legitimacy to wage war and peace By Ari Shavit, Haaretz Correspondent It seems as if everything is fine. Israel’s borders are quiet, the state is stable, the economy is recovering. Hezbollah…

More than once in the past few months I had wondered why the stuffed shirts of the English Zionist Federation had appointed an activist who didn’t mind getting his hands dirty, when Jonathan Hoffman surfaced as its Vice-Chair. I must confess it has been a pleasant surprise. Whenever a demonstration is getting a bit tired…
