What a spring in their step demonstrating against Israel seems to give the not-so-young. I’ve noticed this rather sinister rejuvenation at a number of anti-Israel rallies.
And here they are again, the pro-BDS, pro-“Right of Return” (mainly) old dears of the Richmond and Kingston Palestine Solidarity Campaign branch, devoting yesterday (a sunny Saturday) to attempting to poison shoppers’ minds against the Jewish State with the universal Israel-haters’ customary lies, damned lies and statistics.
As we’ve seen before, most of the shoppers just stroll on by.
Still, the old dears (I wonder how many are Corbynistas: this is Jenny Tonge’s neck of the woods, you know, and the banner photo atop this PSC’s Facebook page proves it) do manage to buttonhole a few of the naive or curious.
As I’ve observed before, I wonder what pastimes these retired denizens of leafy suburban London would be pursuing, had not an animus against the country of da Joos captured them in their declining years.
Or have they been anti-“Zionists” all along?
