I find this New Labour poster deeply offensive - to my intelligence.

Most of these New labour types are as thick as planks and yet they seek my vote by patronising me. I suppose it's obvious that they would lose any reasoned debate, so they try not to have one.

Compare this second poster to the Goebbels poster I reproduce below it..

Unfortunate similarity at the very least..

It's a pretty feeble poster, but it's hard to get particularly exercised about it.

Not least because if it's considered offensive to depict Jewish politicians as pigs (despite the obvious metaphorical mitigation already mentioned), surely it's equally offensive to suggest that demonic forces lurk behind the eyes of Tony Blair, a practising Christian?

So we hear from the Tories when Labour unveils a mere idiotic poster with no Jewish references at all, yet Mike O'Brien, in being explicitely anti-semitic, can tell Muslims that because Howard is Jewish he can't be trusted to look after their interests, all without a squeak in the way of protest. Yet another example of the absence of judgement in the Tory Party.

Guido I'm not sure where you're at with those two poster, there's zero similarity except for the fact that Howard looks Jewish... no watch or hands in the second one, no arm, curtains or flame in the first one, I really don't get it.

He looks more like a Disney villain than anything, I suppose there's often a hint of Jewish caricature about them.

Pete, what exactly is the evidence that O'Brien thinks Howard would be bad for the Palestinians because of his religion, rather than because of his politics?

I agree, Stephen. It's like when Prescott compared Tory spending plans to Fagin and a fuss kicked up over "anti-Semitism" - like that was the perception most people had. There are more than enough reasons to have a go at Labour and making things like this up show the paucity of ideas in the Tories.

Pete_London - The Conservatives did raise more than a squeak about the O'Brien article. Unfortunately, the CRE (coincidentally headed by the Labour former chairman of Greater London Assembly) rjected the complaint.

Michael Brooke - Labour obviously thought that there was something wrong wtih the Demon Eyes poster because they complained to the Advertising Standards Authority who upheld their complaint and asked for the poster to be withdrawn.

Personally, I just think the pigs poster is pretty rubbish. It fails to explain why the Government's £20b efficiency savings are realistic, whereas the additional £15b (about 3% of government spending) is unrealistic. Of this £15b, £8b is intended to cover the blackhole in the Government's budget. Perhaps instead of going for gimmicky posters, Tony Blair should tell us which taxes they intend to put up after the election to cover the shortfall.
No wonder even Gordon Brown says that you can't believe a word he says anymore.

I'll humour you; refer back to this:

http://www.stephenpollard.net/001970.html

Any questions you refer to me can obviously be referred to Stephen Pollard also. The burden of proof is not upon me, Stephen Pollard or anyone else. Mike O'Brien has shown himself (and by extention) the government which he represents to be judenhaas. He has explicitly laid his ground. The queston is, what exactly is the evience that Mike O'Brien is not Judenhaas?

Oh I know Pete, I didn't like the article either (but then I'm hardly its target demographic), but I think it's entirely plausible to interpret it as a political article, not a racial one. I don't like this concept of people being guilty of racism until proven innocent.

I happen to be a Zionist, but I hold lots of other political and moral views, I don't think they are not open to challenge, nor do I think being a Zionist who is also a Jew would grant me any further exemption from that. Similarly, if people who are not Zionists wish to say to other people who are also not Zionists that they should not vote for me because of that issue, that's their right in a democracy.

And if anyone needs any unreliable and inaccurate pig information, I would recommend the Labour Party's advertising department.

I find the most offensive thing about that poster is the fact they paid money for someone with such poor Photoshop skills to design it.

Condoleeza Rice is not a neo-con. Neo-cons are former liberals and leftists who became conservatives. Jews are more likely to be neo-cons because most Jews are liberals. However, this does not mean that they invaded Iraq for Israel's benefit as many on the left believe. The British left is now channeling Pat Buchanan.

I have posted an editorial from the Washington Post below:

In Europe, an Unhealthy Fixation on Israel

By Robin Shepherd
Sunday, January 30, 2005; Page B03

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia

It may not have been apparent on the surface, but Europe's recent commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz was steeped in irony. Even while the Old World stirringly recalls the horrors of Hitler's death camps and vows never to forget the Nazi genocide of the Jews, it also embraces an increasingly -- and alarmingly -- antagonistic attitude toward the Jewish state that arose from the ashes of World War II.

As the Middle East conflict burns on, more and more Europeans are turning against Israel. A growing number subscribe to the belief that the impasse between the Israelis and the Palestinians is the wellspring of much of the world's ills today, and that the blame for all this lies squarely with Israel -- and by extension, with its staunchest ally, the United States. As President Bush seeks to find common ground with Europe in his second term, he might do well to acquaint himself more thoroughly with this reality. For as surely as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict divides Jews and Arabs, it also divides Europeans and Americans. If you're looking for root causes of the growing transatlantic split that go beyond the easy cliches about U.S. unilateralism, it's time to sit up and take notice.

Many Europeans view Israel as a greater threat to the world's security than North Korea, which leads the list of scary nations for most Americans. (Ahn Young-joon -- AP)

Go to a dinner party in Paris, London or any other European capital and watch how things develop. The topic of conversation may be Iraq, it may be George Bush, it may be Islam, terrorism or weapons of mass destruction. However it starts out, you can be sure of where it will inevitably, and often irrationally, end -- with a dissection of the Middle East situation and a condemnation of Israeli actions in the occupied territories. I can't count how many times I've seen it. European sympathy for the Palestinians runs high, while hostility toward Israel is often palpable.

And the anger is reaching new -- and disturbing -- levels: A poll of 3,000 people published last month by Germany's University of Bielefeld showed more than 50 percent of respondents equating Israel's policies toward the Palestinians with Nazi treatment of the Jews. Sixty-eight percent of those surveyed specifically believed that Israel is waging a "war of extermination" against the Palestinian people.

Germany is not alone in these shocking sentiments. They have been expressed elsewhere, and often by prominent figures. In 2002, the Portuguese Nobel Prize-winning writer Jose Saramago declared, "What is happening in Palestine is a crime which we can put on the same plane as what happened at Auschwitz." In Israel just last month, Mairead Corrigan Maguire, the Irish winner of the 1976 Nobel Peace Prize, compared the country's suspected nuclear weapons to Auschwitz, calling them "gas chambers perfected."

Moreover, in a Eurobarometer poll by the European Union in November 2003, a majority of Europeans named Israel as the greatest threat to world peace. Overall, 59 percent of Europeans put Israel in the top spot, ahead of such countries as Iran and North Korea. In the Netherlands, that figure rose to 74 percent.

Perceptions of Israel in the United States, meanwhile, contrast sharply. A poll by the Marttila Communications Group taken in December 2003 for the Anti-Defamation League had Americans putting Israel in 10th place on a list of countries threatening world peace, just ahead of the United States itself.

What accounts for this transatlantic values gap?

Part of the explanation is that, despite all the Holocaust commemorations, the memory of that event really does appear to be fading in Europe. Increasing numbers of younger Europeans have no real sense of what the Nazis did. In Britain, Prince Harry isn't the only one who's oblivious to the realities of Nazi tyranny. A BBC poll of 4,000 people taken late last year, in the run-up to Holocaust Remembrance Day last Thursday, showed that, amazingly, 45 percent of all Britons and 60 percent of those under 35 years of age had never heard of Auschwitz -- the Nazi death camp in southern Poland where about 1.5 million Jews were murdered during World War II. Such ignorance compounds anti-Israeli feelings; for those who have no understanding of the Holocaust, Israel exists and acts in a historical vacuum.

This faltering awareness of the most vivid example of racist mass murder in the 20th century is accompanied by enduring anti-Semitism. A poll in Italy last year, for example, by the Eurispes research institute showed 34 percent of respondents agreeing strongly or to some extent with the view that "Jews secretly control financial and economic power as well as the media." The Eurobarometer survey quoted above also showed 40 percent of respondents across Europe believing that Jews had a "particular relationship to money," with more than a third expressing concern that Jews were "playing the victim because of the Holocaust."

Yet while the persistence of anti-Semitism is undeniable, it's not likely to be the chief explanation for European hostility to Israel. After all, surveys show that some anti-Semitic attitudes persist in the United States as well, but they don't translate into visceral animosity toward the Jewish state. Instead, the intense antagonism toward Israel appears to be a subset of the wider European hostility, emanating mainly from the left, toward the United States. It's unlikely to be a coincidence that the 2003 Eurobarometer survey put the United States just behind Israel as the greatest danger to world peace, on a par with Iran and North Korea.

Many European intellectuals see Israel, perhaps rightly, as one of the central pillars of U.S. hegemony in the modern world. European leftists implacably opposed to America are implacably opposed to Israel as well, and for exactly the same reasons. Over dinner in Berlin not long ago, a Frenchwoman told me emphatically that Israel was "America's policeman in the Middle East." Her companion, nodding in furious agreement, insisted that the two countries are partners in a "new imperialism," leading the world inexorably into war.

In the contorted universe of the chattering classes, Israel is at once America's servant and the tail that wags the dog -- doing America's bidding while forcing it into madcap adventures such as Iraq. As Peter Preston, the former editor of Britain's Guardian newspaper, put it in an op-ed last October, bemoaning both U.S. political parties' alleged servility toward Israel: "Republican policy is an empty vessel drifting off Tel Aviv, and the Democratic alternative has just as little stored in its hold."

The left-leaning antipathy toward Israel is moreover buttressed by deeper and wider pathologies in Europe's collective memory, particularly in our overriding sense of guilt about the past, a guilt that springs from the great 20th-century traumas of war and imperialism. The first has made Europeans, especially continentals, overwhelmingly pacifistic: In the German Marshall Fund's 2004 Transatlantic Trends survey, only 31 percent of Germans and 33 percent of the French could bring themselves to agree with the ostensibly tame proposition that "Under some conditions, war is necessary to obtain justice." Such attitudes do not mesh well with television pictures of Israeli helicopter gunships firing missiles at militant targets in the crowded Gaza Strip, whatever the justification for Israel's actions.

Europe is also awash in post-imperial guilt, and I frequently get the sense that Israel's claim to a piece of land in the Middle East revives guilt-inducing memories, among my English countrymen and others, of white Europeans carving up the Third World and subjugating "lesser peoples" in the 19th century. While the disturbing view that there's an equivalence between Nazi Germany and modern Israel is a relatively new development, another view equating Israel with apartheid South Africa and referring to Palestinians herded into "Bantustans" has been around for decades.

Mixed with the supercharged ideological hostility of the European left, the demons of the continent's past can make for an intoxicating cocktail of anti-Israeli sentiment There is undoubtedly room for criticism of Israel and its policies in the Middle East, but reasoned criticism appears to be giving way to emotional and irrational antipathy that is coloring the wider debate. And as that sentiment grows, American support for the Jewish state will continue to scratch raw nerves in the Old World.

There is much, of course, that the United States should be doing to improve its relationship with Europe. But repairing transatlantic relations is a two-way process. Americans should now be aware that on one crucial issue, at least, it is Europe, and not America, that needs to clean up its act.
