No, said Arab according to other accounts. That means I have read other accounts where he is described as an Arab. It seemed relevant to the OP to point out that the so called thugs were Jewish, why is it wrong to point out that one of them is Arab? I guess it probably ruins the illusion that they're just a bunch of Jewish fascists. We can't have things fuzzied can we? It's incredible how easy it seems to be for you to paint me as something simply because I don't accept this one article as gospel, you're even putting words into my mouth and blatantly misquoting me.

Arabs and Jews come from a very similar genetic root. Many Palestinians and Jews appear to be of a similar appearance. I can assure you that he was not an 'Arab'. While it is true that there are many zionist supporters who are not Jewish, the JDL most likely would be. It is no 'illusion' to suggest that supporters of Israel and its crimes are Jewish; they include Tony Blair, Ed Miliband, David Cameron, Nick Clegg et al; indeed anyone from the main parties who criticises Israel's racist policies and terrorist actions is likely to be reprimanded.

Why do they refer to him as an Arab in their video?

Clegg, Cameron and Blair jewish? I think not Philip. Cameron had a great, great grandfather who was jewish but I think, that's about it.

Sorry, just a tired and lazy generalisation. I mean to say that they support Israel despite minor qualification.

I think that strange Roberta woman is not Jewish. Says so in some of the press. She is a lunatic but not a Jewish lunatic. Bit like Julie birtchill and her non Jewish black and white aggressive support of Israel. Think this woman needs to be left alone and not argued over or given much publicity.

No the Judge saw ALL the footage and heard ALL the testimonies and thats why Andy wasn't changed and they were! What you linked is just edited highlights.

Some people don't know the meaning of the word " thug "

Roberta is too short to be a thug

I'd never heard of her either Hannah. I googled her and got on to the Jewish Defence League website which is mainly pictures of her (including one holding of some kind of machine gun) and vile, racist ranting. Maybe she should have been sectioned rather than arrested as she seems to be rather unwell.

I agree, she appears to be a crackpot with some disgusting ideas. I have a feeling this 'Jewish Defence League' may begin and end in her front room.

Think you're right there.

Sadly her views would be regarded as mainstream in the Israeli body politic.
