Board of Deputies apologise to Interpal

Something to savour. The Board of Deputies have this on their front page:

"The Board of Deputies and the UK-registered charity Interpal announce that they have reached an out-of-court settlement of libel proceedings relating to an item published by the Board on this website in September 2003.  In the item, we referred to “terrorist organisations such as Hamas and Interpal”.  We would like to make it clear that we should not have described Interpal in this way and we regret the upset and distress our item caused."

Rumours are that "The voice of British Jewry" has had to pay out a seven-figure sum to the Palestinian charity as a result of the slur.

UPDATE: The BoD are defiant however, claiming Interpal have not scored a victory. The Board's Director, Jon Benjamin has had this to say:

"The case was not tried and tested in court. Despite the way the story has been spun by Interpal, the settlement was not a victory for either side."

Hang on. The BoD called Interpal "a terrorist organisation". Interpal begin libel proceedings against BoD. BoD say they shouldn't have called Interpal "a terrorist organisation". Sounds like a victory to me.

Even George Bush has tried to pin terrorism on Interpal. The charity's response has been pretty clear: our accounts are meticulous and open for inspection. Despite the continuous innuendo from pro-Israelis, they've found nothing. For more info see here and here.

Interpal is a front for Hamas. Interpal's money (as seen on the recent TV programme by John Ware) goes to fund schools were children chant, "May our skulls be a ladder to your glory" - vile and extremist.

Interpal should have its charitable status revoked immediately. Of course Interpal lie about its true activities to unsuspecting fools at the Charity Commission - the Kufr doesn't know about Taqqiyah!

Long live the West against the Islamo-fascists!

As I have been scourging these brainwashed ideological racist fanatics (or lunatics, if you're that way inclined) on other blogs,
then I don't see why 'Rolled-up Trousers' should be treated any differently -

- but haven't you noticed that when the Parrot-in-Chief, President George Budgie mentioned 'islamic fascism', a week or two ago, there has been an unending chorus of the phrase ever since, from his dead-head minions and empty-headed inanities who imagine that the 'thoughts' in their head are actual real ones and not the result of pavlovian mas-media brainwashing techniques-

- I mean, as if this phrase actually means anything to any rational human being in the real world!

This is a brilliant example of the western brainwashing and propaganda system in action - you couldn't find a better one from recent times - you'd have to go as far back as Iraqi WMD and Saddan Hitler, who was just forty-five minute away from destroying our way of life and civilisation as we know it!

As far as I can make out however,
the only organisation I can think of which should have its charitable status revoked is the Jewish National Foundation which promotes, organises and engages in the ethnic cleansing of Palestine and Palestinians.

Here is the infamous JNF's UK website http://www.jnf.co.uk/

The JNF had a recent beanfeast in a plush Glasgow hotel with US ex-Secretary of State, Colin Powell, as guest speaker -
- I gather there were a few rowdies outside, protesting in the street, trying to spoil everbody's fun and enjoyment as usual -
- it was a good job the local plod were on hand to protect these well-heeled pillars of the community who like nothing more than to encourage the slow-motion genocide of Palestine in their spare time!

Here is 'Palestine Remembered' which Palestinians everywhere acknowledge as a website gathering point for them -

JNF: Financing Racism and Apartheid -
Jewish National Fund's Violation of International and Domestic Law

Report Prepared by PALESTINE LAND SOCIETY (another brilliant website)

All the best!
