Over in England, the boycotts against Israel are coming so fast that it’s tough to keep score.

The latest group to join this boycott frenzy, begun by the Anglican Church, are university professors who band together as the British University and College Union. These are academics, people who “think” for a living, but are usually first to succumb to “the beauty of brute force and mindlessness,” as absurdist playwright Eugene Ionesco had it in his play Rhinoceros. (German academics were among the first to swoon for Hitler.)

These British professors are part of a boycott craze that includes British journalists, British doctors, British architects, British public servants, all of whom have something in the works to punish the Jewish State. (Jews must always be punished for one thing or another.) There’s no talk of boycotting Britain itself for its occupation, and occasionally its genocide, of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Hold the phone. This word just in! Britain’s largest trade union, UNISON, has just passed a resolution to boycott Israel. You just can’t keep up with these people.

All those in favor of trashing Israel (instead of China for its rape of Tibet) deny that their actions are prompted by anti-Semitism. (Of course not!) No, they say, their resolutions are strictly anti-Israel. What if those were Norwegians living in Israel instead of Jews? There’d be no boycotts. That’s my guess. What’s yours?

If there’s any doubt as to what motivates these boycotters, here’s late word from journalist Pamela Hardyment: “Shame on all Jews, may your lives be cursed.” (As it says in our Scriptures, back to you, Ms Hardyment.) Ms. Hardyment belongs to Britain’s National Union of Journalists, which voted last April to boycott Israeli goods.

Arab terrorists kidnap BBC correspondent Alan Johnston so naturally British journalists boycott Israel. This makes sense, right?

The boycotts “do not represent the opinion of the British public,” according to Prime Minister Tony Blair, as reported in Arutz Sheva.

Let’s hope he’s right.

But this boycott fad, ironically, makes the case FOR Israel, a land that distances the Jews from Europeans who still fiddle for Richard Wagner, who, incidentally, campaigned for a boycott against “Jewish music.” Along this trend, we should be hearing from Britain’s musicians’ union any minute. (By any other name, it’s still anti-Semitism, actually.)

Back in Germany, the ovens didn’t start heating up until the late 1930s and the early 1940s. The process toward the Final Solution began April 1, 1933 with a BOYCOTT, when Germans were forbidden to buy from Jewish shops and businesses. Jewish professors were placed on notice to maintain a low profile.

The 1935 Nuremberg Laws stripped Jews of their citizenship and on November 9, 1938, Jewish shops were smashed and vandalized. This was Kristallnacht. Some 100 German Jews were murdered. The letter “J” was posted upon the doors and windows of all Jewish businesses.

Jewish professors were tossed from their lecterns, BOYCOTTED (sound familiar?), detained, arrested, deported, gassed.

Then they came for the rest.

The Arab world loved this and took it as a cue for their own designs against the Jewish State. Arab boycotts against Israel have been in and out for decades.

Britain’s unions now march alongside Vanessa Redgrave and by the way, what’s this about Tony Blair being named chief envoy to the Middle East? Don’t people simply RETIRE anymore? Whatever you think of Blair (good, bad or indifferent) no one from that country, from Britain, ought to have any say on Israel – not after all this!

Blair is to head-up the QUARTET – which again sounds like something cooked up by Richard Wagner, as performed by Daniel Barenboim.

If boycotts there must be, let it be a true boycott, such as no more news about Israel, period, especially from the BBC. This blackout I favor.

I’m not saying that these British unionists desire another Holocaust. Or maybe I am. Heck, yes I am. If it quacks like a duck it must be a duck.

This much is for sure. Jews in Britain, indeed Jews around the world better WAKE UP AND SMELL THE OVENS.
