•The religious mania of Owen Jones
50% Informative
Owen Jones has morphed into one of Israel ’s loudest and most lunatic critics.
A day never passes when he doesn’t take to the internet to froth about the genocidal mania’ and its murderous’ war-making and the depravity’ of its cheerleaders.
The West ’s activist classes responded to the worst act of anti-Jewish slaughter since the Holocaust by raging against the state that was its victim.
The intensity of their abhorrence for Israel is directly proportionate to the collapse of every other political programme they ever subscribed to.
That hatred for Israel has become a political life raft for a lost, defeated left is truly tragic.
In this new religion, Israel plays the role of demon, if not outright devil.
