Ed Miliband is to...

Someone commented after the leadership election that comparing with the Tories Labour had skipped William Hague and gone straight to IDS. Possibly. I suspect that Mili-E is the Segolene Royal of British politics. Remember her - she was presidential candidate in France in 2007, and one of the less clever things she did was go to Lebanon and be pictured drinking tea and nodding and smiling with a bunch of Hamas terrorists. She says in her book that the interpreter didn't translate everything, so she didn't know what they were saying at the time. No excuse, Sego. You should have taken your own interpreter, or learned Arabic, for f***'s sake.

Anyway, seems that Ed has attended the Labour Friends of Palestine annual reception. Nothing wrong with that, I hear you say. No, but, well, use a long spoon... However, he spoke and was pictured in front of an al-Aqsa banner. You know the chaps, Jew-haters and Holocaust deniers. Oh yes. Oh no.

Well, but he is Jewish. Made quite a bit about fleeing Nazis in today's speech.

dialogue is better than 'us versus them' for eternity.

Kid. Sometimes war, war is better and necesary.

It is very rarely better, or necessary.

Certain very necessary wars stand out - including the one referred to by Ed Miliband concerning the Nazis.
President Obama and Hillary Clinton - also Tony Blair in his role as envoy - are all trying their level best to achieve peace in the Middle East.

I hope that Ed Miliband in his powerless position as an Opposition leader, will at the very least do what he can -- offer them verbal support.
