Unbelievable
Published: September 15, 2011
I READ John Gulliver on the EDL’s static demonstration (This is surely not England? September 8) with interest, but noted one glaring omission.
The most unbelievable sight at these vile gatherings is the waving of the national flag of Israel. Sixty five years after six million Jews were butchered at the hands of fascists, some of the families and descendants of those murdered, are now seen arm-in-arm with the new neo-fascists, screaming messages of hatred and racism at another vulnerable minority, the Muslims.
Is it any wonder so much mistrust exists, when the oppressed become the oppressor, and forgets its own people’s fate and history, in such a short time?
