Referred to it in my own blog - http://www.thediplomatabroad.blogspot.com but, possibly unfortunately, split hairs and suggested that "at worst", should "israeli" be a nationality, which it isn't,it would be xenophobia and not racism.<br />whatever,good to stumble on your blog and, yes, a nice victory for the scottish psc.seamus macnielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02087785547751507958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640441812647446166.post-41746135845292431702010-04-12T01:02:28.825+01:002010-04-12T01:02:28.825+01:00Yes this is a very important judgement and it driv...Yes this is a very important judgement and it drives a coach and horses through the attempts of the Zionists, via the EUMC 'definition' of anti-Semitism, to limit our right to free speech.<br /><br />The ZIonist case that attacking Israel was anti-Semitic was always a question of semantics. They accused people of confusing anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism when it was they (& the BNP) who did this.<br /><br />An excellent victory. <br /><br />It is noticeable that this redefinition of anti-Semitism is not something that British PSC has even turned its mind to. They find these issues too difficult to grapple with.Tony Greensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14300640929161205370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640441812647446166.post-49241700449989315112010-04-11T21:55:42.889+01:002010-04-11T21:55:42.889+01:00Edinburgh Sheriff's 'landmark ruling' ...<a href="http://www.scottishpsc.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3294:edinburgh-sheriffs-landmark-ruling-counters-london-declaration&catid=332:trial&Itemid=200248" rel="nofollow">Edinburgh Sheriff's 'landmark ruling' counters London Declaration</a><br />Scottish PSC<br />11 Apr 2010<br /><br />Read in conjunction with -<br /><a href="http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/home-news/campaigners-claim-thought-crime-risk-undermines-protest-1.1019845" rel="nofollow">Campaigners claim ‘thought crime’ risk undermines protest</a><br />Sunday Herald (Glasgow)<br />11 Apr 2010<br /><br />all the best TGBjoe90 kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15925893894108250518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640441812647446166.post-26131187875267460642010-04-09T03:54:47.631+01:002010-04-09T03:54:47.631+01:00Mick Napier of the Scottish PSC in typically fine ...Mick Napier of the Scottish PSC in typically fine fettle with this brilliant quote -<br /><a href="http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/crime-courts/criticism-of-israel-is-not-anti-semitism-rules-sheriff-1.1019415" rel="nofollow">Criticism of Israel is not anti-Semitism, rules sheriff</a><br />The Herald (Glasgow)<br />09 Apr 2010<br /><br />Mr Napier said: <br /><i>"The sheriff could have hidden behind generalities but today in court we discussed the state of Israel specifically and the sheriff ruled in open court that it is perfectly legitimate to criticise the crimes of the state of Israel and that does not in any way constitute racism of any kind.<br /><br />"It is a constant, never-ending attempt by those who support the state of Israel to name those who support the Palestinians as anti-Semites.
