Mel and Steve
Not the dear Times and Telegraph? Apparently so. Mel attacks the "supposedly pro-Israel Times", declaring "With friends like this on the Times, who needs enemies?". Worse, still, is the Telegraph, which has "sign[ed] up to the psychological pogrom against Israel" (with the slightly bizarre argument that if an air force 'leaflets' an area first it means anything that happens later is OK). Thank God for the Brooklyn Public Library, which has bought her rant, Londistan. Mel declares "Civilisation in Brooklyn has taken a small step back from the brink."Pollard meanwhile has an article asking why the press refer to "Israelis" attacking and so on, rather than "Israel". Apparently you would never see the headline "Russians Pound Chechnya". Except perhaps in this Reuters story.
What a stupid man. I don't think he's ever been brought to account for his declaration that "The mainstream Left has demonstrated clearly which side of the battle to preserve Western civilisation and freedom it is on. The Left, in any recognisable form, is now the enemy.". To that end, I think every patron and signatory of the Henry "Scoop" Jackson Society needs to be contacted and ask whether they believe he is someone they wish to associate with.
Update: Pollard's "Maida Vale Manifesto" has four signatories, if you count 'yes' comments as signatories, after four months. At that rate it will hit the 1000 mark in about 83 years. So far I have emailed Michael Ancram and Paul Beaver to ask whether Pollard is representative of the H'S'JS - if they reply I will update.
