Liberalism of fools
Editorial in the Telegraph:
"Anti-Semitism used to be known as the socialism of fools. Today it might more appropriately be known as the liberalism of fools. Last weekend's suicide bombing of two synagogues in Istanbul killed 23 people and wounded some 300, but it might have been far worse. According to the authorities, the death toll might have been up to 800 if security had not been tightened. Yet this massacre prompted a curious article in yesterday's Guardian by Fiachra Gibbons, who is an expert on minorities in the Ottoman empire. Rather than concentrate on the Islamist extremists responsible, Gibbons depicted a Jewish minority that had lived in harmony with its Muslim neighbours until the creation of Israel. "Of all the trials that have befallen them over the last 500 years, none has brought more threat than the existence of Israel." The mere existence of the Jewish state, apparently, "may unwittingly provoke attack".
"What has happened to the liberal media in Europe that the slaughter of innocent worshippers and the desecration of ancient synagogues in Istanbul should evoke implicit criticism, not of the perpetrators, but of Turkey's ally Israel?"
Indeed, the muslim sickness has infected the Euros.
