It is a sign of Ed Miliband’s increasing desperation that he is now reduced to playing communal politics in order to gain votes, and it is plain to see that it is a laughably transparent attempt to get people to vote for a Labour Party that wants another crack at destroying this nation. Nobody with a modicum of historical knowledge could have heard his claim that he would be the first British Prime Minister of Jewish heritage without thinking, what a load of old cack, what about Benjamin Disraeli then? Disraeli himself was a Christian, but his heritage was Jewish, the clue is in the name.
More importantly, how dare Ed Miliband play on his Jewish (although secular Jewish) heritage when it is the Labour party who have made British Jews (along with people of all religions and none) much more unsafe by that party’s policy of importing Muslims and pandering to Islamic Labour voters.
It is both laughable and obscene that Ed Miliband tries to play up his Jewish roots, when time and time again it has been the Islamo-pandering policies of the party that he now leads that has made British Jews unsafe in a land that was once seen as a haven from oppression.
Ed ‘Beaker’ Miliband recently made a trip to Israel, and it is customary when foreign political leaders visit that land for such people to honour the dead of the Shoah by visiting Yad Vashem. I couldn’t shake the feeling of revulsion at the sight of a photograph of Ed Miliband, a man who leads a party that panders to the very Islamic groups who want to see a Shoah Mark II, standing at the memorial to the millions of innocents who died at the hands of the Nazis. It is right that he paid his respects to the dead, but very wrong that he and Labour have used a photograph like this as a cynical vote-harvesting opportunity.
It should never be forgotten that it was under Labour’s watch that Islamic rape gangs, which have afflicted upwards of 10,000 women and girls, were tolerated by politicised police and social services chiefs in many British cities, and when Jew-hating Islamic nutjobs were treated as honoured guests at the Home Office. Also we should always remember that it was Labour who opposed the insertion of a ‘free speech about religion’ clause into the 2006 Racial and Religious Hatred Act, which if it had not been defeated in the House of Lords, would have meant that legally it would have been impossible to criticise the ideology of Islam in any way, a prospect that should chill many people to the marrow. It would also have stifled debate on Christianity, Judaism, Sikhism, Hinduism, Jainism and the doctrine of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Such a restriction on debate, and especially debate about religion, is anathema to the concept of a society where religious freedom reigns. Worse than that it could have helped to institutionalise Islamic Shariah Law within our legal system and those of my readers who come from Mizrachi or Arab Jewish backgrounds will understand very well what it is to live as a religious minority under Shariah Law. No matter what religion we belong to, we should never wish to see that racist, misogynist and fascist code anywhere near the British legal system.
The Labour Party is not the friend of the Jew. They are also not the friend of the Christian, or the Sikh or the Hindu or anybody else who cares about this country, or anybody who wants to see it prosper and grow. Labour’s time in office between 1997 and 2010 was a disaster. Many freedoms, including the right to speak freely on matters of religion, almost died under Labour. Our general freedom of speech, dearly bought for us by people who braved the battlefield and the debating chamber, was curtailed by Labour in diverse legal ways which are still affecting us today.
Do not be fooled by Ed Miliband’s temporary and cynical carapace of belief in the Almighty, for it is meaningless and purely put on in order to make Ed Miliband look vaguely normal. Do not vote for Ed Miliband who, to be quite frank, is no better than the allegorical character of the wicked son*, that mocking rejector of loyalty, morality and goodness of the Jewish Passover Seder, and probably in some ways he could turn out to be much worse.
I’m not sure what turns my stomach more, seeing Ed Miliband do a cynical photo-op at Yad Vashem or thinking of him standing outside Number Ten Downing Street after election day. Labour nearly killed this country and the battle to get it back has only just begun, don’t let Labour and Ed Miliband finish the destruction.
Don’t be taken in by Ed Miliband’s cynical photo-opportunities, don’t vote for the party that would destroy your country, and that plea goes out to both those whose family has sat under the same oak tree for 500 years and those whose families arrived much more recently. No matter who we are or what we believe, we can all lose under Labour.
* Note:
In the Passover ritual there is a story of four children, one wise, one wicked, one simple, and one who is too young to ask questions, they represent four different types of people and especially four different types of Jewish person. The wicked son represents someone who has rejected their heritage and instead has pursued other paths and is sometimes depicted as someone who has followed paths that have led them to violence, addiction, crime or other destructive ends. For more information on the subject of the four sons or four children then I’d recommend visiting the Chabad website.
