UK: Lord Levy and the Anti-Semitism Card

“Some of Lord Levy’s backers blame the police for the leaks and there have also been claims of an element of anti-Semitism in the investigation.”
 
There are few things more repugnant than the endless Islamophobia, anti-Semitism or racism cards being played to undermine a police investigation or to intimidate the police into passivity. Every day brings another example of the tendency of so called ‘assimilated’ members of ethnic communities to flourish their ethnicity as a way to avoid a police investigation or to avoid censure for behaviour that if perpetrated by native Britons would be regarded as intolerable.

In recent weeks we have seen the ridiculous issue of Islamophobia being aired whenever the police raid a Muslim terrorist suspect’s house, Supt. Al Dezai of the Metropolitan Police being allowed to publish a book against Police regulations about his experience of “racism” at the hands of the Met Police who investigated him for a range of serious offences and who dropped serious disciplinary charges against him due to a police boycott call by the Black Police Officers Association and now we see the friends of Lord Levy playing the anti-Semitism card to try and undermine the police investigation into the cash for honors scandal.In an article by Philip Webster of The Times it states “Some of Lord Levy’s backers blame the police for the leaks and there have also been claims of an element of anti-Semitism in the investigation.”

The article continues “The Times was told last night that the senior party hierarchy had been made aware of fury in the Jewish community at the treatment of Lord Levy after all that he has done for the party”. A senior Labour figure said: “These are very significant people who make a very significant contribution to the party.” He added: “And their support is transferable. David Cameron is making a substantial effort to lobby this community.”

Lord Levy’s rabbi, Yitzchak Schochet, said Jews were scared that the inquiry would lead to “one Jew being hung out to dry”.

Crass exploitation

This use of the anti-Semitism card by Lord Levy’s chums to try and put pressure on the police to change the way the cash for honours scandal is being investigated is an example of the crass and vile exploitation of the issue of anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism grows in countries when normal people see that some members of the Jewish community as being above the law that applies to everyone else in the country.

For far too long extremists in all communities from the far left, black, white and Muslim have said that many members of the Jewish community have undue power and influence in British society, and that many of the rich and powerful Jews in British society are above the law. Using the Anti-Semitism card to try and intimidate the Police into changing the way they investigate the Lord Levy case is going to increase real anti-Semitism in the country. Normal Jewish British citizens will then bear the brunt of this rise in anti-Semitism, not the rich Jews in their gated communities who peddle the anti-Semitism card.

Members of the Jewish community that play the anti-Semitism card should be ashamed of themselves. They are merely reinforcing what the conspiracy theorists say and they are reinforcing anti-Semitism in Britain.

Get out of jail card

For far too long it has been far too easy for the members of all ethnic communities to flaunt the ‘ race card ‘ whenever it suited them. On one hand we have the government and the liberal elite telling us all how wonderfully integrated we all are and how the laws of the land apply equally to us all, but at the first sign of trouble the ‘race card ‘ is produced by any ethnic up to their neck in it and the police are expected to cringe and shrivel up like salted slugs when it is waved in their face.

An integrated community does not play the race card.

The media pundits like John Snow on Channel 4 news who first aired the ‘ anti-Semitism ‘ allegation against the police are playing a very dangerous game. If at any stage in the investigation by the police it is seen that the police go easy on Lord Levy on the basis of his Jewishness, then this will create vast resentment in the country. It will lead to people asking themselves ‘ Are rich and powerful Jews above the law of the land ‘ and this will reinforce the stereotype that they are above the law.

Sign of desperation

It is a sign of desperation when any ethnic community plays the race or racism card as a way to avoid liability for their own actions. Whilst 15 year old black gang members shoot each other over ‘ disrespect ‘ and drugs debts, the race relations careerists in the black community then try and blame racism for the attacks. This merely perpetuates the self infantilisation of the black community itself. A community that doesn’t want to face the truth about itself will never stop killing itself.

This endless pandering to the most loudmouthed ethnic group with the most idiotic theory on racism that seeks to undermine the principle of self responsibility has to stop.

The media has to stop letting these ethnic minority idiots air their politically correct rubbish. It is time that ethnic communities stopped trying to terrify the hand wringing liberal elite into cringing silence with their endless rubbish about racism being behind their own problems.

Get a grip and grow up.
