After failing the Palestinians over the issue of EU sanctions against Israel (Britain, Germany and Italy were the most ardent supporters of Israel during the shameful Luxembourg meeting), the hypocritical Brits solace the Palestinians' bitterness with a booby prize: April 18, 2002 London papers, politicians decry Israeli siege of Jenin By Al Webb THE WASHINGTON TIMES LONDON - British politicians and leading newspapers have reacted with fury to Israel's military siege of the West Bank town of Jenin, accusing the Jewish state of war crimes and describing Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon as a "blustering bully" and "a fool." The British government announced it was clamping down on sale of weapons to Israel, accusing it of breaking promises. Parliamentarian Gerald Kaufman, a prominent figure in Britain's Jewish community, said Mr. Sharon's actions "are staining the Star of David with blood." And European Union External Relations Commissioner Chris Patten, a staunch Conservative and adviser to former British Prime Minister John Major, yesterday called for an international investigation into what happened at the Jenin camp.

Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said the rules on arms exports to Israel would be tightened. [...] washingtontimes.com

Re: Washington's Judeofascist rally. These fanatics blurted it out: jewish.com Excerpt: Many rally participants were in no mood for talk of a "cease-fire" or a "return to negotiations." Many in the crowd roared their approval when Christian radio commentator Janet Parshall boomed, "We will never give up the Golan; we will never divide Jerusalem. And we will call Yasser Arafat what Yasser Arafat is -- a terrorist!" Many in the crowd then booed when Paul Wolfowitz, the U.S. deputy defense secretary, referred to "innocent Palestinian victims" and the "future Palestinian state." One teen-age boy, while passing a reporter, muttered: "They should kill Arafat." And with no Arabs or Muslims to confront, some Jews turned on each other. [snip] _________________________
