quote:

You want Trump banned from UK but are happy with anti-Israeli discrimination. You are a hypocrite



quote:

Khan is hosting the largest ever gathering of ambassadors and dignitaries at City Hall on Tuesday night, where he is expected to tell his guests: “I’ve been clear that President Trump’s actions are unacceptable for a liberal, open democracy, like America, and we can’t be seen to be endorsing them in any way,”



quote:

He will add: “As an international community, I believe we have a responsibility to show moral leadership, and so my ask of you tonight is this: join me in speaking out against this ban and condemning it for what it really is – discriminatory, self-defeating and completely un-American. “Targeting people for no reason other than their faith or their country of birth is cruel, prejudiced and counterproductive.”



Here's the rub

quote:

However, dignitaries from 11 of the 16 countries who permanently block travel by Israeli passport holders – Bangladesh, Brunei, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Pakistan, Sudan, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen – will be present at the meeting. None have attracted censure from the mayor over their bans.


quote:

The remaining five countries to block travel by Israeli passport holders are Algeria, Malaysia, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Syria.

the only question is if the explanation is anti-Semitic or subtle bigotry of low expectations against muslims

Isn't the mayor of London Muslim?

He'll simply say it's just part of their beautiful and ancient culture.

Plus, he's smart enough to know not to piss off a bunch of Muslims in a city that's feckless when it comes to counterterrorism operations.

The argument this just gave me in the future made me pop a boner.

Of course the counter argument is that Israel is an evil oppressive state so its ok.

Interesting! I'm sure the American Press will cover this in great detail.

Where would the UK be without Farage saving its arse from the globalist culture destruction? It may be too late, but at least he has given them hope.
