The war against the Jews (8)

This is what Caroline Glick, the Jerusalem Post columnist, wrote on her blog after the massacre of the Jewish yeshiva students in Jerusalem last night:

 

The police claim that they had received no intelligence information warning of an impending attack in the capital. But there were several indications that one was about to occur. On Saturday night I was walking in a park above the Old City at dusk. Suddenly a crowd of Arab teenagers appeared and started yelling Allah Akbar. My big, barking dog scared them away. They were not serious but they were the harbinger of what came next.

Two days later mobs of Arabs attacked Jewish motorists in the city and nearly lynched two municipal inspectors whose car they assaulted with rocks and crow bars while trying to force them out of their vehicle. The pair escaped by the skin of their teeth as they swerved out of range and managed to drive away. I hate to think what would have happened if the Fatah-incited mob had attacked their tires instead of their windshield.

Between Iran, Egypt, Syria, Hamas, Hizbullah, Fatah and the Israeli Arab leadership, the incitement level this week was so high, that the violence level crossed a Rubicon. It was only a question of when and where the bullets and bombs would start exploding not whether or not they would.
Here is the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign inciting people to hatred of Israel in its frenzied comments about the proposed lecture at Edinburgh University by the Israel Ambassador Ron Prosor, a lecture which has been abruptly called off:
'The ambassador of child murder, ethnic cleansing, and threats of “holocaust” on Gaza has called off his planned talk,’ it stated. ‘Pros or cites “security concerns”: in reality he, and Edinburgh University, realized that the planned protests would have channelled some of the fury that millions now feel at Israel's never-ending crimes against the Palestinian people.’
Here is the Muslim Public Affairs Committee inciting hatred of Israel which it accuses of ‘brutality’ and ‘murder’ and urging people to
stop Israel
by actions including bombarding the BBC with complaints if it language isn’t inflammatory enough. Here is a ‘poem’ posted by a reader on this MPACUK entry urging revenge upon the Jews:
If a Palestinian wrong a Jew, what is his humility?
Revenge.
If a Jew wrong a Palestinian, what should his sufferance
be by Jewish example?
Why, revenge.
And here’s another reader's post on this most vicious and deranged of sites suggesting that the massacre of the Jewish yeshiva students was carried out by Israel:
Maybe Israel allowed the gunmen to carry out this attack? To alleviate world pressure that’s upon them at the moment? Not saying it’s true, but you never know…
Britain has laws against incitement to racial hatred and incitement to violence. The MPACUK website actively and routinely incites the kind of hatred of both Israel and Jews that can certainly lead to violence against Jews in Britain. Why are the police allowing this clear and present danger to continue?

With the slaughter in Jerusalem yesterday of boys studying the Torah, the Arabs have made it crystal clear that the real focus of their murderous hatred is Judaism itself. When will our British ‘anti-fascist’ and ‘anti-racist’ progressives denounce the Palestine Solidarity Campaign as the fellow-travellers of genocidal Jew-haters? And when will America and Europe understand that, if they want to know what will happen if they force Israel to give up east Jerusalem to these savages, they only have to look at the carnage at the Mercaz Harav yeshiva?
