John Swinney knows not one Scottish Jew has been physically assaulted in an anti-semitic attack since records began

johnrobertson834

Professor John Robertson OBA According to the Scottish Daily Express yesterday: Jewish families are considering leaving Scotland in the face of a backlash against the community over the conflict in Gaza, with the First Minister accused of stoking tensions The Jewish population is in decline but that’s a result of intermarriage, aging, assimilation, secularisation and some movement historically but not recently, to Israel and other parts of the world.

One of Scotland’s useless, jaundiced, hacks is so little read he can’t drag himself out of the abyss

johnrobertson834

Professor John Robertson OBA I’ve written more times about McKenna than I care to remember and had resolved to just ignore his ill-informed and petty tirades against the SNP, but for dog (sorry Kev) knows what reason, I feel the urge. At the heart of his stuff is what seems to be an evidence-free feeling of anti-Catholic discrimination still pervading live in Scotland. The Great Professor Tom Devine disagrees completely but Kev is not for thinking or reading any facts. Ironically given his faith, Kev the Doubter doesn’t seem to worry too much about the religious institution he belongs to. … Continue reading One of Scotland’s useless, jaundiced, hacks is so little read he can’t drag himself out of the abyss

Jewish Scot confirms research suggesting there is less anti-Semitism here to spoil BBC Reporting Scotland agenda that we’re just as bad as elsewhere in the UK

Professor John Robertson OBA On BBC Reporting Scotland last night we saw an interview with a Jewish woman from Glasgow, welcoming the apparent peace settlement in Gaza but also, unscripted, telling the reporter that she is aware of less anti-Semitism in Scotland.

Gaza protests – Why not target those who are part of the complicit Labour UK government?

johnrobertson834

By Liz S “Pro-Palestinian protesters STORM John Swinney’s Fringe appearance” There is a video on YouTube of this (via The Daily Mirror , the client media of the Labour party)…..call me cynical but there are (were) other political interviews during the Fringe and I wonder if some of these same ‘protestors’ or others will ‘protest’ or did ‘protest’ at these other political events (interviews) on the Fringe….. Anas Sarwar, from Labour was one of the other political interviewees at the Fringe and his interview was not subject to pro Palestine protests …..so why was he, as a Labour politician, exempt … Continue reading Gaza protests – Why not target those who are part of the complicit Labour UK government?
