A great summary of how that mendacious rag squirms and dodges

While the hate preacher, Raed Salah, awaits the verdict on his challenge to the bungled attempt to exclude him from the United Kingdom, the Guardian is busy spinning his case.
The Guardian has published a report on the Salah case, based on government correspondence considering the merits of excluding Salah. The article is written by David Hearst, the Guardian’s Foreign Leader writer. David Hearst is pretty close to the pro-Hamas lobbying organisation, Middle East Monitor, who have been touring him around the Middle East. The source of the information on which the report is based is plausibly Salah’s lawyers, Tayyab Ali: who is close to Hizb ut Tahrir.
So this is how David Hearst deals with one of the most serious incitements by Raed Salah, reported by Haaretz:
The head of the Islamic Movement in Israel’s Northern Branch, Ra’ad Salah, was charged Tuesday in Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court with incitement to violence and racism, over a fiery speech he gave a year ago in which he invoked the blood libel.
During the speech at the February 16, 2007 protest in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Wadi Joz, Salah accused Jews of using children’s blood to bake bread.
“We have never allowed ourselves to knead [the dough for] the bread that breaks the fast in the holy month of Ramadan with children’s blood,” he said. “Whoever wants a more thorough explanation, let him ask what used to happen to some children in Europe, whose blood was mixed in with the dough of the [Jewish] holy bread.”
“Great God, is this a religion?” he asked. “Is this what God would want? God will deal with you yet for what you are doing.”This is how David Hearst deals with that allegation:
In other alleged quotes, words were interjected to change their meaning, said Salah’s lawyers. In the blood libel accusation, the word Jewish was interjected, when the original referred to the murder of Christian and Muslim children during the Spanish inquisition and a part of the speech in which Salah said defended the right of Jewish worship in synagogues deleted.Have a look at Salah’s words, as reported by a Left wing Israeli newspaper. How could they possibly refer to the murder of Christian and Muslim children during the Spanish inquisition? Have you ever heard it suggested, anywhere, that the Spanish inquisition mixed the blood of Christians and Muslims in “holy bread”?
