Panoramic view of Tel Aviv

Listen to AFI Director Simon McIlwaine interviewed by Tovia Singer on Israel National Radio, 25 Jan 2006. (24 mins.)


Spot the difference…

… between George Galloway, a British Member of Parliament and recent visitor to Damascus, where he said this on state television:

I was re-elected despite all the efforts made by the British government, the Zionist movement and the newspapers and news media which are controlled by Zionism.

… and David Duke, the white supremacist and former Ku Klux Klan “Grand Wizard”, also on a visit to Damascus where his speech was covered by state television:

It hurts my heart to tell you that part of my country is occupied by Zionists, just as part of your country, the Golan Heights, is occupied by Zionists. The Zionists occupy most of the American media and now control much of American government.

Our thanks to normblog for noting this remarkable coincidence.

George Galloway keeps some strange bedfellows these days but, George, when you start to sound like David Duke it is time to reassess your position.

Incidentally, the Mayor of London Ken Livingstone may or may not be pleased to find out that David Duke is one of his admirers. More ravings from the Duke can be found in this FrontPage Magazine report using material from MEMRI.
