This is an interesting situation. I didn't know you could get arrested for voicing your opinions in public in Britain.

British authorities have detained a Foreign Office diplomat who allegedly uttered anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli profanities last month in anger over the IDF's operation in the Gaza Strip.

The UK's Daily Mail reported Monday that Rowan Laxton, a Middle East expert and head of the South Asia Group, was performing a routine workout on an exercise bike at his gym on January 27 when a report about the fighting in Gaza appeared on television.

Other gym users reported that Laxton then shouted, "Fucking Israelis, fucking Jews", and said that all Israeli soldiers "should be wiped off the map." The Daily Mail reported that the tirade continued even after other gym users approached him.

The problem is that large sections of the upper level of the British civil service have been captured by Islamic militants or their sympathisers. This guy is one of them. These are the same clowns who, rather than bringing in border controls for the UK since 9/11, have instead flooded the country with people from muslim countries, who in turn have hatched numerous plots.

Unfortunately, no! He was fully right. They're slaughtering innocent people and making the rest of the world believe that they 'fight against terrorism'. It's pathetic and sad that we live in times when we cannot even call a murder - MURDER, because we will be accused of 'antisemitism'.
People wake up and stop buying these lies about terrorism. Israel is simply exterminating Palestinians - it's a holocaust!
