[Non-Jews are always on the defensive. Mention a Jew in a critique, even if you don't know he's a Jew? You fall into the trap: you're deemed to be e an "anti-Semite," so shut up before you lose your job. It's a wonderful system to ensure that Jews and Zionism never face public scrutiny.] Minister denies anti-semitism after attack on Howard, by Melissa Kite and Tony Freinberg, Telegraph (UK), January 9, 2005 "A senior minister was forced to deny last night that he had been anti-semitic in accusing Michael Howard and another Jewish MP of failing to stand up for British Muslims. Mike O'Brien, the Energy Minister, issued a hasty statement after Mr Howard demanded an apology for remarks made by the minister in an emotionally charged appeal to Muslims to support Labour. "In an article in Muslim Weekly I attacked Michael Howard as Leader of the Conservative Party and not personally," said Mr O'Brien. "As minister for race equality from 1997 to 2001 I have a strong record in promoting good community relations, as well as challenging the evils of racism, xenophobia and anti-semitism." The row erupted after he launched an attempt to win back Muslim voters to Labour by questioning what would happen to them if Mr Howard were prime minister. "What will Michael Howard do for British Muslims?" he said. "Will his foreign policy aim to help Palestine? Will he promote legislation to protect you from religious hatred and discrimination? Will he give you the choice of sending your children to a faith school? Will he stand up for the right of Muslim women to wear the hijab? Will he really fight for Turkey, a Muslim country, to join the EU? The last thing we want is to vote in anger and repent at leisure as Michael Howard, with a big smile on his face, walks through the door of Number 10." Liam Fox, the Conservative co-chairman, last night wrote to the Labour chairman, Ian McCartney, asking him to disown the comments which he condemned as "despicable" ... It is not the first time that Labour has angered the Jewish community over its use of language. Mr McCartney called Oliver Letwin, another prominent Jewish member of the shadow cabinet, a "21st-century Fagan" in a speech to the Scottish Labour conference last year. Labour denied that he had intended an anti-semitic insult by comparing the Shadow Chancellor to the villain in Oliver Twist ... A Liberal Democrat backbencher also named in the article accused Mr O'Brien of singling him out because he too is Jewish. Dr Evan Harris was attacked by Mr O'Brien for opposing new religious hatred laws. he is writing to Mr O'Brien to demand why he was singled out for criticism." news.telegraph.co.uk
