British Zionist says Israeli lives more valuable than Arab lives

British Zionist columnist Maureen Lipman has stated that Israeli lives are more valuable than Arab lives. Her comments, which were broadcast on BBC television on 13 July 2006, went unchalleneged by the programme's presenter, Andrew Neil.


The director of the Council for the Advancement of Arab-British Understanding (CAABU), Chris Doyle, has written to the BBC to condemn the comments on the BBC television programme "This Week" by leading British columnist Maureen Lipman.

Unchallenged by the presenter, Andrew Neil, Lipman commented on the situation in the Middle East and denied that the Israeli actions were disproportionate.

"What's proportion got to do with it. It's not about proportion, is it? Human life is not cheap to the Israelis. And human life on the other side is quite cheap actually because they strap bombs to people and send them to blow themselves up."

The idea that somehow Arabs, whether Palestinians or Lebanese, do not value human life as much as anyone else is disgraceful.

In the letter, Doyle wrote:

"Is it acceptable that what most people would consider a racist comment is merely allowed to pass like this? It is simply outrageous. The comments were made in the context of discussing proportionality; therefore, implicitly she is saying that you could not measure proportion because there was no equivalence between an Israeli and an Arab life. All Arabs, like all other people, value human life.

"I ask, if an Arab had stated on this programme that Jews did not value life as much as Arabs and, therefore, disproportionate killings were acceptable, what would have been the reaction?"

This attitude is very common among Jews. Here is a quote I read just yesterday:

The president [Bush] announced he is certain that freedom will win out: “Freedom can be resisted, and freedom can be delayed, but freedom cannot be denied.” The problem with this rallying cry is that whereas in years gone by six million Jews and another 56 million others on the Allied side of World War II died waiting, nuclear weapons threaten to destroy the fabric of civilization before freedom “succeeds.”

Those who died on the Allied side get some mention as "others", those who died on the Axis side are not worth mentioning at all I suppose.

Well, distinguished historian George Bush junior has finally established the real number of jews killed during ww2.

62 millions.

The previous known figure was fruit of poor research.

Indeed, and considering what's written in the Talmud it is of no surprise that Jewish lives are viewed as of more value by Jews than those of gentiles.

What's really pathetic is seeing gentiles believe and support this overt Jewish supremacism. Unfortunate, especially, that a number of these people are Roman Catholic and believe that, since they are the 'chosen ones', the Jews are infallible.

Not enough funds for research, I guess.
