Yesterday I wrote about anti-Semitism growing in Briatain. need proof? Here it is.

A British current affairs magazine has compared the Marva and Gadna IDF youth summer programs to Islamic Jihad "summer camps," and questioned what the difference would be if the participants were British Muslims.

In the latest edition of New Statesman, journalist Matthew Holehouse begins his article, entitled "The British children who train to fight in Israel," by stating that Israel denounced the Islamic Jihad summer camps in Gaza, which trained Palestinian adolescents to become suicide bombers, after hearing about them in 2001.

However, he continues, "what went unreported was that at a purpose-built barracks in the Negev desert, every summer, hundreds of Jewish teenagers from Europe, Mexico and America pay to spend nine weeks saluting, marching, firing guns and otherwise pretending to be soldiers."

Holehouse then asks what would happen if these were young British Muslims who had trained in Yemen or Pakistan.

That Holehouse can't recognize the difference between Hamas and the IDF is pretty frightening to begin with -- I'm curious, does he believe teh RAF is the iquivalent of the Terrorstinians launching Qassam missles into civilian communityes? The IDF, for all the propaganda claims of the pro-terrorist left, does not indiscriminately attack civilians -- and as was shown in Lebanon last summer, only hit locations where terrorists were using civilians as cover for their attacks. under international law, Hezbollah was in violation and Israel was not in such situations.

There is no moral equivalence between Hamas and Israel, any more than there was moral equivalence between the US and Nazi germany in 1943. Any attempt to draw an equivalence between Israel and the terrorists out to destroy that nation can be seen as nothing short of anti-Semitism -- and of a variety that is every bit as genocidal as that which ruled in Nazi Gemany.
