London Mayor Ken Livinsgtone: Clearly a menace

Second post today about London Lord Mayor Ken Livingstone. You think after the 7/7 attacks, he'd figured out the score on terrorism, but no, it's still "the Jews" who are the troublemakers.

Hat tip to Pat Curley at Brainster.

From the Jerusalem Post:

London Mayor Ken Livingstone, whose city was devastated by Islamic suicide bombings earlier in the month, lashed out at Israel Tuesday, comparing the Likud to Hamas and accusing Israel of "crimes against humanity."

At a London press conference, Livingstone, who has a long record of anti-Israeli diatribes, drew a connection between the London blasts and the Middle East. He said Israel had "done horrendous things which border on crimes against humanity in the way they have indiscriminately slaughtered men, women and children in the West Bank and Gaza for decades."

Livingstone expressed understanding for the motivations of Palestinian suicide bombers, saying that since the "Palestinians don't have jet fighters, they only have their bodies to use as weapons. In that unfair balance, that's what people use."

Hey Ken! How 'bout I leave you alone for a few minutes in a room with Rudy Giuliani?
