Anti-Semitism is on the increase. For too many the irrational hatred of Jews is acceptable.
However I am not one of those who think that any criticism of Israel is automatically an attack on all Jews. Often this form of attack has been used to stifle justified debate and criticism of Israel.
No country is perfect. Politicans make mistakes. That shouldn't damn a race or creed.
I do however agree with Melanie Phillips when she writes about how wrong it was for David Cameron and Nick Clegg to meet the Palastinian President and only criticise Israel.
It is sickening that supposed democrats can honour and laud anyone who seeks to wipe another country off the map and create an state with not a sinlge Jew, or black person, or any other racial or religious group, in it. For them to encourage a Holocaust denier is sick.
To use such a platform to attack Israel and ignore the terrorism, human rights abuse, and very real racism of the Palestinian President shows either breathtaking ignorance, stupidity, or worse a very troubling mindset.
With ingrained racism those who hold such views don't think it's wrong and don't see how it clouds their judgement.
Racists or holocaust deniers shouldn't be honoured at Number 10.
