Jew-hating former mayor of London Ken Livingstone, who recently claimed Hitler was a Zionist, has invoked the “some of my best friends (& relatives) are Jewish” defense.
The former Mayor of London, who has been suspended from the Labour Party for arguing that Hitler supported Zionism, told the JC he might have Jewish ancestry on his mother’s side.
Asked to name a Jewish friend, he cited the late Lord Janner, a one-time fellow Labour MP.
He said: “Greville Janner used to drive me home from the House of Commons at night. We would chat away about the Middle East. He would speculate about whether or not I was Jewish because my grandmother’s name was Zona.”
For the record, Zona is the Hebrew word for whore or bitch. I kid you not.
Which makes Livingstone a grand son of a bitch.
But we already knew that.
