There are few more sickening sights than people wandering around with banners stating things like “We are all Hezbollah” or “We are all Hamas”. These people are using the freedoms entrusted to them by a liberal democracy to endorse terrorist groups with genocidal ambitions. Over at the Telegraph, Shiraz Maher has written a powerful denunciation of these useful idiots:
“Such vociferous support from the streets of London will have come as great relief to Hamas leaders at a time when even Arab governments such as Syria, Egypt and Saudi Arabia have blamed them for this latest outbreak of violence.
These self-righteous “friends of Palestine” obsess about Israel and the Jews, but turn a Nelsonian blind eye to everything Hamas does.
They undermine those who want to see an enduring peace in the region and, worse still, they bolster and galvanise Hamas by creating the moral imperatives for its terrorism.
Muslim leaders in Britain have so far – but cannot any longer – allow this to continue unabated.
