Hatun Tash is a Turkish-born former Muslim convert to Christianity. Muslims harass, threaten, bully, and rough up Hatun Tash regularly. Police stand by and do nothing. A man stabbed Hatun Tash repeatedly. He has never been arrested. Rather, UK police arrested Hatun Tash for saying things that Muslims don't like.
Now Gideon Falter, a UK Jew, was detained by police. The police say they detained him in order to keep him safe from harm. Evidently, the British surrender to jihad imperils Jews.
If you think Jews are the only ones being so imperiled, you are mistaken.

This incident exemplifies the built-in injustice of ethnic favoritism. For the longest time, as shown in my reviews, British policy has favored the remembrance of the Holocaust over the remembrance of the Polish victims of Nazi Germany.
ReplyDeleteAnd now, the wheel of ethnic favoritism has turned a bit, and British policy increasingly finds it expedient to favor the Muslims over the Jews. One injustice sets a precedent for another.
If I posted that I had a peanut butter sandwich for lunch Jan would interpret that as proof of Jewish "supremacy" and an erasure of Polish suffering. Obsessions obscure the ability to perceive objective reality.
ReplyDeleteActually, if you were to eat a peanut butter sandwich, some Jew would declare that you are a Polish antisemite, and the Poles would obediently hang their heads in shame.
DeleteI'll have to check out what the bbc is reporting on this. Don't get discouraged.
DeleteBut now that you brought it up; which is more culturely insensitive and unjust, creamy or chunky peanut butter?
Well, surely as Polonians, whatever Danusha, Jan and I do, even if it is eating a peanut butter sandwich, makes us "fascist thugs", These days, as I am so tired of it all, rather than apologising for my sandwich choice, I would likely offer an "AND we shot Bambi's mother" and carry on eating. Though come to think of it, in that case, it ought to be a venison sandwich. Which it wouldn't be as, contrary to the politics here, I try not to eat meat.
DeleteAnd Otto re the vexed question of creamy or chunky peanut butter, I am not stepping into that dangerous arena. Haven't wars been fought over the question?!
And re the British Police, as I mentioned in a DG thread on fb, they are dealing with an impossible situation, one not created by them, but they are left to deal with it. And they may simply have been trying to stop this guy being attacked, to save him from the mob. I doubt they will be allowed to do so again though, given the furore.
Isn't it always best to try to calm a situation down, rather than inflame it? Especially when tensions are rising so high on both sides.
Thanks for posting about this, Danusha. It’s important that people know about this. As I mentioned to you the other day, the Met is a joke in bad taste. They recently arrested an autistic girl for referring to a cop as a lesbian. Every week, it seems, the Met is involved in some such absurdity.
