U.K. Jewish leaders reacted with outrage to the latest comments of London mayor Ken Livingstone, and called him “a lackey of the Muslim agenda” in Great Britain and said he has “always had this extremist hatred of Jews and Israelis.”
Their reactions came in response to comments by Livingstone Tuesday where he seemed to suggest he backs Palestinian terrorists. “He is a lackey of the Muslim agenda in this country,” Jon Benjamin, director general of The Board of Deputies, elected leadership of the U.K. Jewish community, told Ynetnews Wednesday. “Livingstone is prepared to say anything for his support base.”
You can just imagine what the response of the BoD would be if someone were accused of being “a lackey of the Jewish agenda in this country”.
