THE murderous military campaign which has been unleashed by Israel has provoked people across the world to demonstrate, rally and protest in their hundreds of thousands.Ah yes...from the mouth of the unhinged, Yvonne Ridley. Such eloquence...such indignation...such...such...such...insipid vacuous nonsense so blatantly false and one-sided that you'd swear the world was one dimensional.
Soon the movement will turn into millions as more ordinary, decent citizens of the world show their disgust at the barbarism of Israel ... and the cowardly silence of our own leaders.
This is no longer a political issue, or a Middle East issue. It is a case of what is right and what is wrong, and what is decent and what is inhumane.
And ordinary people are now taking the initiative because they can no longer rely on their political leaders to show any of the human qualities demanded of them including strength, integrity or compassion.
British people, normally reserved and controlled, brought anarchy to the streets of upscale Kensington yesterday as they stormed barracades and pushed past police to head towards the Israeli Embassy in London.
There was more anarchy in Scotland as our friends over the Border vented their spleen over the war crimes and massacre carried out by Israel.
And unless British Prime Minister Gordon Brown gets some lead in his pencil, the anarchy will continue.
I am normally a law-abiding citizen, but the anger and shame I felt drove me to join those who tore down the barriers on Saturday.
In case you aren't familiar with the author...Yvonne Ridley was the UK reporter who was refused an entrance visa to Afghanistan in 2001 while writing for the UK Express. So, she slapped on a burqa and entered illegally. The Taliban, eventually, caught her and held her "against her will" for 11 days before being released. She converted to Islam in 2003. I just found the above post to her blog amusing; especially the part about being a law-abiding citizen. She said this...you know:
On 2 June 2006, Ridley urged all Muslims in Britain to "boycott the police and refuse to co-operate with them in any way, shape or form until the boys are released,"Yvonne Ridley is a tool...but amusing none-the-less. She falls into the category of beings who help her opposition every time she opens her unguarded orifice (it matters not which one).
Since she seems to be such an efficient receptor to Stockholm Syndrome...one can only hope that she is abducted by a bunch of Tibetan Monks someday...and put into a forced vow of silence.
