The common front between the Jew-haters of the Arab and Muslim world and the Jew-haters of the west is now gathering momentum. On 26 January the Simon Wiesenthal Centre (sorry no link) put out this statement: In a letter to Swedish Prime Minister, Fredrik Reinfeldt, the Simon Wiesenthal Centre’s Director for International Relations, Dr Shimon Samuels, reported on ‘a most alarming situation yesterday in Malmö, as witnessed by one of our Centre's Swedish members.’ Samuels noted that ‘apparently, a small number of Swedish Jews had received the necessary permit for a silent demonstration for peace, to be held in the centre of Malmö’. He continued: ‘Following the first speech, electric wires to the microphone were cut as a large crowd of Arab counter-demonstrators surrounded your Jewish citizens, screaming antisemitic abuse and brandishing swastika posters’, adding that the official demonstration organizers requested the police officers present, to keep the peace and prevent a riot. The law enforcement response was that “The Jews should leave!” Jewish children and elderly were forced to run from the gathering as young Arabs pursued them, threatening physical violence. The Centre pointed out that ‘Malmö has become a Gaza nest in Scandinavia, with an increasingly Jihadist presence, especially galvanized by the European Social Forum calls from Malmö for assaults upon Israel, last September, BEFORE the Gaza operation.’ On the same day that this letter was sent, the day before Holocaust Remembrance Day, Egyptian cleric Amin al Ansari appeared on an Egyptian TV channel to announce that Europe had had no choice but to exterminate the Jews in the Holocaust because of their innate evil. You can see the footage and read the transcript here. Starting off by examining ‘the civil strife the Jews have caused throughout the world,’ Al-Ansari explained that because of the Jews’ deeds during and after World War I, ‘it got to the point that the rulers themselves had no solution but to annihilate them.’ Al-Ansari showed viewers how ‘the holocausts of the Jews in Germany were because of their own deeds - they were killing Germans, kindling civil strife, inciting the people against their rulers, and corrupting the peoples,’ underlining his points with World War II footage of the bombing of Berlin, which he compared to present-day Gaza. Then, saying, ‘Let’s watch what Germany did to Israel - or rather, to the Jews,’ he screened footage of torture and killing of Jews in Dachau, Mauthausen, and Belsen, providing running commentary, and stating, ‘This is what we hope will happen, but, Allah willing, at the hand of the Muslims.’ He adds that the Jews ‘have even turned [the Holocaust] it into a holiday, which will be marked in a few days. They call it the Holocaust Holiday, in which they rekindle what happened to them, for the whole world to see, so that people will feel sorry for them... so that they can continue to extort people politically and financially forever. They like money.’ Egypt, you may recall, is the country which the west is expecting to ensure that no more weapons to annihilate Israel are smuggled through the tunnels under its border into Gaza. Small chance of this support for the genocide of the Jews being viewed with abhorrence in Norway, where Trine Lilleng, that country’s First Secretary at its embassy in Riyadh, recently sent out an email on her office account (excoriated here by David Harris, Executive Director of the American Jewish committee) in which she declared: The grandchildren of Holocaust survivors from World War II are doing to the Palestinians exactly what was done to them by Nazi Germany. Accompanying the text were photos, with an emphasis on children, seeking to juxtapose the Holocaust with the recent Israeli military operation in Gaza. Having been incited by such obscene remarks to believe that the Israelis are indeed Nazis – with all the Holocaust-denial that such a monstrously inverted view necessarily entails) the Norwegians clearly think it’s time for a pogrom against their supporters. The Jerusalem Post reports that Siv Jensen, chairwoman of the main opposition Progress Party, has been receiving death threats after she spoke at a pro-Israel rally and is now under 24-hour security guard. ‘I have never experienced this kind of hatred in Norway,’ said Toje, who was present at the demonstration. ‘There were people throwing stones at and spitting on rally-goers. Afterward, people carrying Israeli flags were randomly attacked in the streets.’ Along with expressions of support for Israel, speakers at the rally, including Jensen, called for aid to be distributed in Gaza and for a cease-fire agreement to be signed. ‘It was a peaceful rally,’ said Toje. ‘Jensen was calling for the same things as Barack Obama. The difference is that she was doing it in Norway. The environment here is different.’ The Socialist Left Party (Sosialistisk Venstreparti), which is part of the current coalition, has proposed a number of boycotts against Israel since the government was formed in 2005. ‘The first was a general boycott,’ said Toje. ‘Next came an academic boycott and then a boycott on arms.’ The boycotts, though not implemented, have exacerbated an already hostile atmosphere. As they do everywhere. And now as Ha’aretz reports American academics are also leaping on the pogrom bandwagon. The surreal nature of this twisted and unique hatred was encapsulated in this exchange with one of the boycotters, David Lloyd, a professor of English at the University of Southern California: Lloyd wrote that to the best of his knowledge, all supporters of the anti-Israel boycott were also opposed to the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Asked if logic wouldn't dictate that he and his colleagues boycott themselves, he responded, ‘Self-boycott is a difficult concept to realize. But speaking for myself, I would have supported and honored such a boycott had it been proposed by my colleagues overseas.’ Lloyd and his colleagues are not of course similarly exercised to boycott Iran, openly committed to genocide and sponsors of Hamas and Hezbollah. The Jerusalem Post reports: Israeli intelligence agencies recently succeeded in thwarting a major Hizbullah terror attack against an Israeli target in Europe, Channel 2 reported Wednesday, citing security officials. The attack was reportedly thwarted by Israel in conjunction with a European intelligence agency. Hizbullah planned the attack to avenge the February 2008 assassination of arch-terrorist Imad Mughniyeh in Damascus, the report said. But now look: in Europe the madness created by ‘human rights’ has now reached such a point that European jurists think killing terrorists is a war crime. Forget the attempt to hunt down and kill bin Laden; forget the al Qaeda terrorists killed by the western alliance; forget the thousands of Taleban the west has killed in Afghanistan. When Israel kills a man responsible for planning and implementing mass atrocities against both its own citizens and those in the west, this alone is a war crime. And thanks to the globalisation ofwww.jpost.com/servlet/Satellitethrough international ‘human rights’ law, Israel is now being persecuted through legal action for defending its own citizens against mass murder. Thus in Spain a judge agreed yesterday to an investigation of seven former top Israeli security officials for alleged war crimes in the 2002 bombing in Gaza that killed top Hamas terrorist Salah Shehadeh and 14 other people. As the then defence minister Binyamin ben Eliezer said: ‘The decision of the Spanish court is delusional, ridiculous, and more than that, outrageous,’ Ben-Eliezer told Channel 2. ‘They are using the courts of the free world to fight those who fight terror. I am not sorry about the decision that I made when I was defense minister to assassinate him. Shehadeh was an arch-murderer. If we hadn't done this, hundreds of others would have died,’ he said. This jihad of the law being mounted against Israel is now, as this analysis by the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Centre sets out, a psy-ops strategy by Hamas to win the propaganda war against Israel: 1. As soon as Operation Cast Lead ended, Ismail Haniya, prime minister of the Hamas administration in the Gaza Strip, called for international teams to investigate the so-called ‘war crimes’ carried out by Israel . He also demanded that the Israeli leadership (what he calls ‘the occupation leadership’) be tried in an international court (Al-Jazeera TV, January 18, 2009 ). These tactics are used to strengthen Hamas's defamatory allegations that Israel acted solely against civilians and to represent the IDF operation as a ‘holocaust’ for the Gazans. 1 2. As part of Hamas's propaganda campaign, Ismail Haniya appointed an ad hoc committee to document the IDF operation in the Gaza Strip to provide a foundation for attempts to prosecute Israel for ‘Zionist war crimes.’ The committee's ‘source of authority’ will be Hamas activist Faraj al-Ghoul (chairman of the Hamas faction in the Palestinian Legislative Council). It will be headed by Dhiaa al-Din Madhoun , also known as a Hamas activist. The committee chairman announced that teams including ‘jurists and investigators’ had been set up with 160 members spread, out through the Gaza Strip to ‘document Israel 's crimes,’ and would begin work on January 24 (PalMedia website, Gaza , January 26, 2009 ). 3. The objective of Hamas's ‘documentation activity’ is to attack and defame Israel and represent it as harming civilians, ignoring and even hiding the military infrastructure it established in densely-populated civilian centers. Since the documentation will not have an objective, truthful foundation, it will be nothing more than blatant propaganda and the manipulation of public opinion to defame Israel . In addition, Ismail Haniya, Hamas activists and the countries supporting them make no mention of the indiscriminate rocket fire used to attack Israeli population centers and the use made by Hamas of the civilian population as human shields for its military-terrorist operatives, both of which are considered war crimes . Thus the perpetrators of war crimes themselves and their supporters are currently engaged in gathering evidence against Israel , the victim of continuous rocket and mortar shell fire, to charge it with ‘war crimes’… 4. Hamas’s activity is liable to be supported by Arab countries and the anti-Israeli elements in the Middle East and abroad which are always eager to jump on the anti-Israel bandwagon. And also by anti-Israel elements in Spain, and in Britain where for years now Israeli military top brass have been unable to set foot without the threat of just such a law suit. As the lies and libels about Israel continue to circulate in the west western ‘progressives’ helping incite this gathering pogrom – and who appear to be wholly impervious to facts, truth or reason -- are in an obscene alliance with those bent upon genocide to delegitimise Israel, neutralise its capacity to defend its own people against slaughter and prepare the ground for its eventual destruction.

Amin al Ansari would doubtless approve.
