It seems that nobody is responsible for their own behavior anymore if you can score points for your confirmation bias [in this case, anti-Semitism] on your opposition.
Baroness Jenny Tonge, an independent peer in House of Lords, has laid the blame for the alleged synagogue shooter on the entire country of Israel, suggesting that the Israeli government bears some responsibility for the horrific attack on innocent Jews which left eleven dead and six wounded.
The Liberal Democrat Baroness posted on Facebook: "Absolutely appalling and a criminal act, but does it ever occur to Bibi [Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] and the present Israeli government that it's [sic] actions against Palestinians may be re-igniting antisemitism? I suppose someone will say that it is antisemitic to say so?"
Yes, Jenny, it's anti-Semitic to blame the Jewish State for an act committed in the United States by a crazy person, but hey, I bet there's nothing you like about the Jews living there. At least the Jewish creator of Facebook doesn't have a problem with your balderdash posting.
Who is anyone kidding--an attack on Israel is anti-Semitic. Everyone who's being honest knows that.
The post has since been removed from FB, and the Jew-hating Tonge issued an apology. "I bow to this great article by Robert Cohen and acknowledge that to think that the Israeli government's persecution of the Palestinian people had anything to do with the actions of this gunman, may have been too hasty. We must wait for his trial and testimony to try to understand better this 'white' supremacy movement in the USA."
Look in the mirror, Jenny. You're no better than white supremacists, except that you have a title with your name. You hate a country that's the only civilized nation in the Middle East. The surrounding nations would destroy Israel and all the Jews living there because their jihad commands it.
Oh, and your apology sucks too. "Israeli government's persecution of the Palestinian people"?
The so-called Palestinians living in Israel have it better, with more rights, than Palestinians living in Gaza. And if a Hamasshole is wounded in war with Israel and is captured, he is treated in Israeli hospitals. If an Israeli is wounded in Gaza, he or she is killed.
"Attempting to blame the Jewish state for the actins of a neo-Nazi terrorist while the bodies of his innocent victims are not yet cold, is utterly abhorrent," stated the UK's Campaign Against Anti-Semitism (CAA).
"We consider that Baroness Tonge's ongoing membership of the House of Lords and the medical profession are stains on both institutions and we have formally complained to both the House of Lords and the General Medical Council in the past," CAA said.
The anti-Semitism watchdog group demanded the Liberal Democrats, which secured Tonge's seat in the House of Lords, "must now campaign for her to be removed from the legislature and stripped of her title."
That is not likely to happen. The UK and most of the EU have become a hotbed of anti-Semitism. It's the new vogue once again.
But Tonge has been suspended twice in the past by the UK's Liberal Democrats over allegations of anti-Semitism and eventually resigned as pressure mounted. In 2003 she compared conditions in Gaza to those in the Warsaw Ghetto, both place she had not visited but should have. The chairman of Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial criticized her for that.
In 2004, during a bunch of suicide bombings targeting Israelis, she said that she "might just consider becoming [a suicide bomber] herself" if she was a Palestinian, but still refused to become one even though they would have been glad to have her. Her own party leader, Charles Kennedy, condemned her comments as "completely unacceptable" [and a detriment for getting the party a majority win] she told the BBC that suicide bombers' actions are "appalling and loathsome."
In other words, she would say anything at anytime to keep her butt in the seat.
The BS she spouted in 2010 was in response to an anti-Semitic libel alleging that Israeli soldiers providing aid in Haiti were secretly harvesting victims' organs. She suggested that Israel conduct an inquiry to "clear the names of the team in Haiti." Nick Clegg, then party leader called her comments "wrong, distasteful and provocative." He removed her as the party's health spokesperson.
In 2012, she told a group of like-minded mental midgets at Middlesex University [not all who attend that school are like-minded]: "Beware Israel. Israel is not going to be there forever in its present performance." Clegg challenged her to apologize yet again, or resign. She chose the latter and resigned as party whip.
The list of anti-Semitic comments goes on and on. Google her if you care a fig, but suffice it to say, anti-Semitism doesn't need a national leader to inspire it--the hatred has existed for centuries.
Ask yourself why does it exist. Aside from the religious anti-Semitism found in Islam, why do people hate a group of people they really don't know?
I just learned today that a Muslim woman who's married to a Jew, overheard her Palestinian Muslim coworkers refer to her husband [in Arabic] as a "slimy Jew."
He isn't an Israeli--he was merely born into the Jewish religion of his parents who were probably born into the religion of their parents. And for the most part, religion is determined more by geography than ideology, unless one converts.
After the Tree of Life Synagogue terrorist attack, it's time to stop the hate.
