Cherie Blair, wife of British Prime Minister Tony Blair said this at a charity event for Medical Aid for Palestine, June 2002:
“As long as young people feel they have got no hope but to blow themselves up you are never going to make progress.”
Liberal Democrat member of the British Parliament Janet Tonge said this on Sky News:
“I do not condone suicide bombers but I do understand why people out there become suicide bombers ? it is out of desperation. If I was in their situation…I might just think about it myself. They are in a terrible plight and the world is standing by and watching. Something needs to be done.”
Professor Leighton Armitage, adjunct political science professor at Foothill College in the US has dared to say this of the Israeli treatment of Palestinians:
“And what are they doing with Palestinians, every day? They’re killing them. They’re walling them in, they’re essentially doing the same thing that was done to them… It’s exactly what Hitler did to the Jews.”

I hope that this coach doesn’t et kicked out of his job cuz he said that. Yes, they do that as they call it anti-semitism. Just criticize Israel and you’re out of business in the US!
In fact, he just could be subject to disciplinary action, or possibly termination.
And you’re right, they call that kind of freedom of speech: anti-semitism.
I believe what Jews are doing is much worse than what they’ve been through in Hitler times. They did suffer, we all agree, but it was a terrible period of time that was put to an end, a period they’re getting compensation for up till this very moment. Whereas the Palestinians’ suffering period seems to be endless, getting nothing but millions of eyes watching!
