PSC Comes to Parliament – Bringing a Man Accused of Saying Jews Bake Bread with the Blood of Gentiles

TELEGRAPH BLOGS – MICHAEL WEISS: Last month, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) used Amnesty International’s Human Rights Action Centre to host a “discussion” on how Zionists control the media. They’ve been emboldened by this achievement, and have chosen a more exclusive venue for their next event: Parliament.

On 29 June, PSC is due to host an event titled “Building Peace and Justice in Jerusalem” in the House of Commons. I very much like that sentiment. The problem is, some of PSC’s scheduled speakers don’t.

One of them is Sheikh Raed Salah, the head of the northern branch of the Islamic Movement in Israel, a group ideologically affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood. The notorious Islamist website Middle East Monitor Online (MEMO) has dubbed Salah ‘The Gandhi of Palestine’ (see above).

Yet his Mahatma-like qualities are not immediately apparent when assessing some of his rhetoric or his actions. In February, 2007, Salah told a 1,000-strong crowd in the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Wadi Joz:

We have never allowed ourselves to knead [the dough for] the bread that breaks the fast in the holy month of Ramadan with children’s blood. Whoever wants a more thorough explanation, let him ask what used to happen to some children in Europe, whose blood was mixed in with the dough of the [Jewish] holy bread.

According to the Left-leaning Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz, Salah accused Israel of attempting to “rebuild the Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount while drenched in Arab blood”. » | Michael Weiss | Wednesday, June 22, 2011
