This looks good. Any truth to the rumour that Meyer was heckled at a London meeting? What sort of misguide muppet would do that? They must be scared of his message.

See ya

Hi Anto, it's no rumour unfortunately. It's absolutely true. The following report was sent by a friend of mine in J-BIG (Jews for Boycotting Israeli Goods). We don't envisage the same type of people to turn up in Dublin, but it is chilling. As my friend said, these are the sort of people who say, 'Hitler killed the wrong Jews'.

See you tomorrow. It should be an interesting meeting

"This was IJAN's Holocaust Memorial Day meeting at Portcullis House - their second London meeting as part of their 'Never again for anyone' tour. Once again, when Holocaust survivor Dr. Hajo Meyer started to speak, Hoffman [vice-chair of the Zionist Federation] interrupted with 'Rubbish'. Tonight the Zionists were out in force - Richard Millet was sitting next to him and there was a bunch of them the other side of the room. A bit later, Hoffman stood up and led his merry men with the chant 'Racists out, racists out!' Can you imagine? This was a meeting to commemorate the Holocaust on Holocaust Memorial Day, and Hoffman turned it into a football match!! This shows how much they really care about the Holocaust, for all their ranting on about it.

It's pretty clear that Jewish anti-Zionist Holocaust survivors are a big threat as they ruin their arguments. Apparently, he called the survivor a racist and an anti-Semite.

The police kept going in and out and had words with Hoffman, eventually taking him out, although by then, he had shut up. Whoever had asked him to be taken out, probably didn't realise that there were worse disrupters at the back, heckling all the way through and causing chaos. One horrible young man who knew who I was, laughed and yawned loudly all the way through saying 'Boring', even when the survivor was talking about the Holocaust and not Zionism. He was eventually taken out by the police - I think 4 were taken out in total. And yet they would have been allowed to ask questions, so what was the point, other than to make the meeting break down and censor the Holocaust survivor?

Tonight, the Palestinian Dr. Haidar Eid spoke live from Gaza via video link. He spoke about the destruction and despair in Gaza, flesh being burned with phosphorus, and that horrible Zionist carried on yawning.....Then, a few of them shouted 'Shame on you' at Haidar Eid.

What? Shame on a Palestinian for describing the horrors that they were experiencing?

Thanks to all the disruption, there was no time for questions at the end. Had there been time, this is what I would have said: 'I'd like to thank the Zionist hecklers for proving the main points of the meeting - that they do not care about the Holocaust unless it serves their Zionist agenda, while their callous indifference to the plight of the Gazans, illustrates that 'Never again' only applies to them.' Indeed, on arguing with some Zionists outside, some of them admitted that they thought that 'never again' should only apply to Jews."
