Melanie Phillips has a post on a piece by India Knight which argues that Muslims are "the new Jews". As Melanie points out:
"The new Jews are, er, the old Jews".
I make no comment on this Wikipedia entry about Ms Knight:
"Knight lives in London with her three children and her boyfriend, author Andrew O'Hagan."

Links for the above post by Mr. Pollard
1) The new Jews are, er, the old Jews by Melanie Phillips
3) Mr. Pollard's previous posts on Andrew O'Hagan
Knight and O'Hagan - two more reasons why Jews no more belong in the UK in 2006 than they did in Hungary in 1920, Poland in 1935, Germany in 1933, Austria in 1938, Holland or France in 1940, or Lithuania at any time in history.
(Please note: The above statement is purely my own view. I imagine that you would have to look a very long way indeed before you found a more loyal and patriotic Englishman than Stephen Pollard. "Speak for England!" the man said. Mr. Pollard does that every day of his life)
British writer Daniel Johnson (former associate editor of the Daily Telegraph - the newspaper where O'Hagan's article on Jews appeared) takes Andrew O'Hagan apart limb by limb:
What on Earth has happened to The Daily Telegraph since Conrad Black had to resign? What has happened to the Conservative Party of Britain?

Is there any future for the once dynamic Jewish community of Britain?
...I imagine that you would have to look a very long way indeed before you found a more loyal and patriotic Englishman than Stephen Pollard...
And you, Joshua? Are you patriotic?
Since when did anyone believe anything said by an estate agent?
Shows how gullible Ms Knight is.
