Raed Sallah arrested in London

Raed Sallah, the head of Israel's Islamic Movement Northern Front, has been arrested in London and charged with being in the UK illegally.
The Islamic Movement on Wednesday reacted to news of the arrest of its northern branch leader Sheikh Raed Salah in London overnight, blaming the "Jewish lobby" for the arrest in order to protect the "Zionist narrative."

"Since Salah received the invitation to come to Britain, the Jewish lobby went crazy and did everything in its power to prevent the visit, so that the Zionist narrative remains the only narrative," the movement said in a statement.

In a direct message to "the Jewish lobby," the Islamic Movement continued, "We will protect our rights and will bring the voice of truth to the world, especially as it relates to the Palestinian people. We won't be affected by this political arrest."
Anyone who knows the true situation in England has to realize how comical this hysterical reaction (and three others cited from 'Israeli Arab' MK's) is. Israeli government officials and IDF officers have been threatened with arrest in London due to demands by private parties and without charges. And Sallah is about as incendiary as they come.
According to the Islamic Movement, Salah was arrested close to midnight overnight Tuesday in London after returning from a lecture in Leicester. He was reportedly scheduled to speak to the British Parliament later in the visit, an appearance scheduled at the invitation of an MP.

Lawyers said that Salah was faced with two options: to stand trial, or face immediate deportation, Channel 10 reported.
Israel Radio reports that the UK has opened proceedings to expel Sallah from Britain and is investigating how he got into the country in the first place. He was banned due to anti-Semitic statements. Heh.

"Zionist narrative" -- very nice, Islamist anti-Semites now can bandy about pomo litcrit. But no, not a "narrative" or a "discourse"--just history. File that "Palestinian narrative' under fiction.

The British take treason seriously. This is one of those few things where the Jews could stand to take a lesson from them.

Unfortunately, Israel's Stupid Jews lack the cojones to kick Salah out of Israel for good because they're afraid of some bad press!

What could go wrong indeec

NormanF: It's right for Britain to kick him out as he's not a British national and has no right to be here and preaches incendiary and hateful beliefs. The incredible thing is that some people are disputing why he was banned, which in my mind says a lot about them (there were no complaints when the last government publicly excluded Gert Wilders, for example).

Best of all this exposes the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign, ISM and all other murky pro-Palestinian conspiracy groups to both the home office and UK intelligence services. The more they shout about this (which they are) the more scrutiny they will attract, which can only be a good thing. There is strong suspicion that he was smuggled through border control with the help of a "friendly" customs official. The plot thickens.

But he's an Israeli passport holder. The fact that he's allowed to get away with preaching the kind of hatred that he does without imprisonment is astonishing. Then again if you arrested every anti-Semite in Israel you'd have some very full prisons!

Shalom,
Matt
