Having to abide by the norms of secular society and follow the laws of a rules-based society – is presented by this caller as being “anti-Semitic”. Zionist-fascism (as a form of “White Supremacy”) is illogical and can be easily tripped-up by exposing its inherent contradictions. This caller (“Brett” from Borehamwood) holds racist views against Muslims – and expresses racist and misogynist opinions regarding British Black women (specifically Diane Abbott and Dawn Butler – both Labour MPs). He attempts to justify this position, as a Tory Councillor, by claiming that he (and his ethno-religious community) can hold these views – because of the existence of “anti-Semitism” in the UK (implying that he – and all British Jews – are simultaneously suffering as victims of this type of racism).
The caller states that it is racist for Palestinians to chant “From the River to the Sea!” – but perfectly understandable for the Prime Minister of Israel to use this phrase every time he suggests the wiping-out of the Palestinian people and the stealing of Palestinian land! Of course, the caller says nothing about the recent International Court of Justice’s ruling which states that Israel is committing “Plausible Genocide” in Gaza. When challenged to provide any tangible evidence for the racist and ill-judged opinions that he holds – the caller becomes quite “agitated” by the host for being asked to confirm to the usual standards required for a civilised debate to take place in the UK. Indeed, this obviously middle-class caller considers it something of an inconvenience to provide evidence in support of the right-wing views he hold – to the extent that he threatens to “get my ‘phone” at one point – before accusing the host of “anti-Semitism” when he cannot get his own and his lies are exposed.
