It's a mad, mad, mad, mad reich

No self-respecting white supremacist likes admitting they're prejudiced toward the ethnic minoritah. It's a state based ethnic purity and superiority, like good old Rhodesia, but with much better liberal cred. Given that it was founded as an understandable, if flawed response to the awful crime of the holocaust, anyone who actively opposed to the Israeli state is a genocidal fascist, and anyone who has any sympathy for Palestinians is an appeaser. As we know from Godwin's Law it's always a good thing to be seen as fighting fascism. The Israeli state is also the cutting edge of western imperial intervention into the Middle East, it's two for the price of one! So it was no surprise when:

Education Secretary Michael Gove stopped eight schools sending pupils to a Palestinian literature festival.

Mr Gove challenged headteachers in Islington and Haringey to justify why they planned to participate in the event, run by a branch of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

It's because it was a scabrous, lefty mind-wash trying to prove that Palestinians are actually existing people. It can't possibly be because Palestinians have a vibrant and interesting literary culture worth exploring in any way. They can't have. They don't exist. And it was definitely a low-brow left-fest because it was only supported by a former Children's Laureate and a local MP.

Our rulers are loonies. Expect being Palestinian to be deemed anti-Semitic in and of itself by 2015.
