Well
Done Frankie Boyle!!! BBC Cowardly Behaviour And Gaza
Not Funny

Scottish hero
comedian Frankie Boyle has accused the BBC Trust of
cowardly behaviour.
Boyle published an open letter describing the
situation in Palestine as "in essence, apartheid" and
lamenting the fact that the BBC was "now cravenly
afraid of giving offence and vulnerable to any kind of
well-drilled lobbying".
Back in 2008 Boyle made an astute joke on BBC’s Radio
4 programme Political Animal. "I've been studying
Israeli army martial arts. I now know 16 ways to kick
a Palestinian woman in the back. People think that the
Middle East is very complex but I have an analogy that
sums it up quite well. If you imagine that Palestine
is a big cake, well … that cake is being punched to
pieces by a very angry Jew."
In fact, no one can describe the barbarism and
collective sadism performed by the Jewish State more
accurately.
Following a complaint from a listener who said the
comments were "disgusting" and "anti-Semitic", the BBC
Trust's editorial standards committee investigated and
apologised. The committee said it endorsed the
editorial complaints unit's finding into the use of
the word "Jew".
So here we are again. Someone out there in the BBC
insists on telling us all how to employ the word
‘Jew’. Clearly it is not going to work. Israel defines
itself as the Jewish state. It commits colossal crimes
in the name of world Jewry. With all due respect to
Jews, their pride and their sensitivities, the English
language is not yet a possession of the Israeli
Government or the Labour Friends Of Israel or the BBC.
Every crime committed by the Jewish state is engraved
within our lingual symbolic notion of the ‘Jew’. As
much as Jews love to regard themselves as the ‘light
onto the nations’, their Jewish state presents us with
one of the darkest phases in the history of humanism.
Boyle wrote "I think the problem here is that the
show's producers [not the BBC line managers] will have
thought that Israel, an aggressive, terrorist state
with a nuclear arsenal, was an appropriate target for
satire". I would add here that the attempt to block
any discussion on Israel is just another symptom of
Jewish power. However this power falls apart once
challenged publicly by people such as Boyle and
others.
Well done Frankie Boyle, and do not forget, if they
really manage to upset you out there in the BBC, you
can always join my jazz band and scat with us all the
way till the end of bop.
