Israel's Shimon Peres, president of the Jewish state, has hit out at the English in a newly published interview. In it he accuses many who live in merry old England of being hardcore anti-Semites.
There is in England a saying that an anti-Semite is someone who hates the Jews more than is necessary...There are several million Muslim voters and for many members of parliament, that’s the difference between getting elected and not getting elected...And in England there has always been something deeply pro-Arab - of course, not among all Englishmen - and anti-Israeli, in the establishment...They abstained in the 1947 UN partition resolution, they maintained an arms embargo against us in the 1950s, they always worked against us. They think the Arabs are the underdogs.
This declarative statement comes just days after UK Prime Minster David Cameron made the incendiary comment that Israel had turned Gaza into a prison camp. Cameron's negative remark coincided with a recent report by an Egyptian journalist that described absolute prosperity in Gaza.

Moslems live freely in democratic countries such as Isrial away from where they fleed from with full sympathy for Islam
