The Suicidal Idiocy of Activists Who Cozy Up to Islamism
(Spiked-UK) Brendan O'Neill - The recent protest in Whitechapel in East London was morally suicidal - a seething mob of plummy radicals and gruff Islamists - columns of black-clad fanatics raging against "Zionist scum." The demo in Whitechapel was an orgy of intolerance dolled up as tolerance. It was a display of Islamist arrogance wearing the thin veil of "anti-racism." They believe Islamist fanatics who dream of annihilating the Jewish homeland are anti-racists. For those of us who still have a quaint attachment to the virtues of reason, it was a sickening spectacle. Mobs of men in black masks hollered Islamist slogans in a distinctly menacing manner. They yelled "From the river to the sea" (translation: destroy the Jewish homeland) and sang the praises of "our martyrs" (translation: the Jew-killers of Hamas). When the devotees of a hardcore species of Islam take to the streets to fume about "Zionists," we know who they mean. We know they don't mean people like me - Gentiles who support Jewish nationhood. It's not the likes of us they want to drive out of Britain, 1290-style. It's them. Those Zios. The kippah people. Are we really going to do that dumb dance of saying, "Criticizing Zionism is not the same thing as hating Jews"? If you happily march with men in masks who dream of driving "Zios" from our society, then you have thrown your lot in with Jew-hatred. You are complicit in the cultivation of a hostile environment for England's Jews. It is gross to hear apologists for the demo use words like "diversity" and "tolerance." It is not diverse if Jews can't come. And it is not tolerant if people are covering their faces so that they might safely scream about "Zionist scum." When will radicals learn what a colossal folly it is to align themselves with fundamentalists who are suspicious of secularism, hateful of homosexuals, dismissive of women, and furious about Jews? They are marching with their own gravediggers.
