She won first prize for this.
Update 22:05 28 May: Please see the update below.
Update 29 May: The organisers took down the original video, so the only way to see it is to watch my new annotated version that explains what was wrong with what she said.
I thought about making a kind of rebuttal video [Update: I did, it’s above], interspersing her lies with the truth. But truth be told, I’m too tired: this is a tsunami. This is accepted wisdom in the UK. This is what the BBC and the rest of the lethal journalists and the insane “Peace Processors” and “Two Staters” have done by granting these people and their deceitful, stolen “narrative” and identity a voice.
Good luck Jews in England, you’re on your own as far as I’m concerned. Israelis should not sacrifice any more of our children to appease this kind of hatred.
More details here from Edgar and Daphne Anson.
Of course, though this little indoctrinated little social justice warrior wouldn’t know this, these are the real victims of terror in Israel.
Update 22:05: Edgar has had an answer to raising his concerns with the organisers, the short story is they’re disqualifying this girl from going further in the competition. However there are now huge concerns as to how she got as far as she did. Edgar’s post is worth reading in full.
The good news is that I have had a response** (see below) from the CEO of the Speakers Trust (who run the competition on behalf of the Jack Petchey Foundation); she states that the judging panel have now decided unanimously against sending Leanne Mohamad through to the Grand Final. The reason is that they had the same concerns to those I raised. Note, in particular, how the speech was in breach of the two ‘fundamental rules made explicit during training’.
The bad news is that the more I think about Leanne Mohamad’s speech, and the jubilant reaction to it, the more it is evident that there is no long-term future for British Jewry (and it seems Brian of London agrees with me). Here we have a very well-educated child in an affluent suburban school who has been completely brainwashed into accepting a ‘Palestine’ narrative that is even more extreme than that proposed by Hamas. Yet, she had the full support of all the school’s teachers and pupils as well as the local authorities who clearly bought into, and supported, the same narrative because so much of Britain’s political and academic class is controlled by the Islamic/leftist alliance that deems ‘Palestinians’ as the ultimate victims of our age and Israelis as the ultimate villains.
