Blog Spot The danger of Ed Miliband winning the general elections

During the build-up to the 2010 general elections, in the Jewish quarters of London, people were picketing to ‘Vote Now! Stop the British national party,’ an anti Semitic, albeit fringe, political party.

Here lie the inconsistencies. In 2015, Ed Miliband’s Labour party is virtually neck and neck with David Cameron’s Conservative party in the polls. To make matters more complicated, UKIP (UK Independence party) is third in the polls, with enough votes to make sure there is no outright majority. That would result in a hung parliament and concessions would have to be made by the winner with another party, if the polls are to be correct. But if Ed Miliband wins, the consequences of having him as a prime minister would be devastating, particularly to the Jewish community.

Ed Miliband was raised by his mother, Marion Kozak, a signatory of two anti-Israel organizations – Jews for Justice for Palestinians (formed in 2002) and Independent Jewish Voices. This should explain why he kept an anti Israel researcher, Joseph Brown, during his last campaign in 2010.

In that same year, when a Mavi Marvara flotilla headed towards Gaza in order to smuggle in weapons and explosives to Hamas, it was blocked by the IDF, and nine terrorists were killed. It was then revealed that they all were linked to the IHH humanitarian relief foundation, an organization with ties to Al-Qaeda and Hamas. Miliband condemned Israel, not the Islamic terrorists, for the clash that had ensued.

The danger of Miliband becoming prime minister is not limited to the threat to British Jewry. It also extends to the rest of the country’s population. In a move that could pose a danger to non-Muslims, he wants to redefine Islamophobia as an aggravated crime at a time when the world, let alone the country, faces an imminent threat from Islamic terrorist attacks, not to mention ongoing Muslim rape gangs, an increase in anti Semitic attacks and creeping Sharia law in British society.

Question marks should be raised as to why the picketers against fascists and anti-Semites would jump at the chance to picket against the BNP, but not against the current Labour party, despite the damning evidence against its leadership.

During an election, it is always necessary to choose the lesser of evils, that being David Cameron in this case, despite the fact that some of his policies leave a lot to be desired.
