No Ceasefire without Release of Israeli Hostages

(Spiked-UK) Brendan O'Neill - On the two-week anniversary of the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust, thousands of people gathered in London to shout out the slogan of the killers: "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free." The world witnesses the bloodiest pogrom against Jews in 80 years and then central London shakes with the chant that the pogromists themselves will have used. Trafalgar Square was rocked by hollers of "Allahu Akbar," which were the last words some of those Jews in Israel heard before they were shot to death or burnt alive. A mob of Hizb ut-Tahrir members chanted for "Muslim armies" to invade the Jewish state. What is "the solution" to the problem of Israel, a speaker asked? "Jihad! Jihad! Jihad!," came the chilling reply. I'm sure Hizb ut-Tahrir, a cult that referred to Hamas' invasion of Israel as "a day of good news," was using the word jihad in the peaceful sense. Maybe its call for Muslim armies to commence holy war on Israel was code for holding peace talks? If you march with Islamists who referred to Hamas' slaughter of Israeli Jews as a "day of good news," you have sided with racial hatred. If you say "ceasefire now" but you don't say "release the hostages," you are demonstrating to the world that you value Jewish lives less than other lives.
