All Over The Pavement

I would like to welcome Pete Willsman to the club. For over a year, I myself have lived under the threat of death at the hands of "the defenders of Bharat, the defenders of Eretz Israel, the heirs of Nuthurum Godse, the heirs of Moshe Sneh"

The official indifference is, I suppose, only to be expected when one considers the official indifference to the very serious attempt on the life of George Galloway on 29th August 2014, when George was a sitting Member of Parliament, by a convert to Judaism, Neil Masterson, who was wearing a T-shirt that bore the logo of the Israeli Defense Forces. 

You see, anyone can become a Jew, just as anyone can become a Muslim, and all Jews in the world today are either mostly or entirely descended from converts, or they themselves have converted. I have been predicting for about 15 years that, guided in some way by people on the fringes of existing Judaism, neoconservatives would create their own version of it. 

With neoliberal economic policy, neoconservative foreign policy, and the associated sort of conservative-liberal social policy, no longer able to monopolise debate as their adherents have hitherto expected unthinkingly, a retrenchment of that kind is a more and more distinct possibility.
