Anyone want to do a Google search, to see whether far-left filmmaker Ken Loach ever said that hate crimes against Muslims are “not surprising and understandable” because of 9/11?
According to The Parliament:
British film director Ken Loach says that a rise in anti-Semitism in Europe since the Gaza crisis is “not surprising and understandable”.
He was responding to a report earlier this week by the Vienna-based agency for fundamental rights (FRA) which said cases of anti-Semitism had risen across Europe since last December.
The agency, which collected information from 19 EU members, said rises in anti-Semitism, ranging from vandalism to physical attacks, were a serious concern…
But, speaking in Brussels on Wednesday, Loach said, “If there has been a rise I am not surprised. In fact, it is perfectly understandable because Israel feeds feelings of anti-Semitism.”
Loach, famous for films like Kes, Cathy Come Home and Riff Raff, stressed that “no-one can condone violence”.
But the director, who has spoken out against Israel in the past, branded the report as a “red herring” designed to “distract attention” from Israel’s recent military actions. [emphasis added][…]
Let’s be clear. What we have here is a Marxist film director, a professed internationalist, saying that if a Jew is beaten to a pulp, Israel is to blame – and that those who dare complain about it are engaged in the well-worn Zionist tactic of changing the subject.
Thank you, Comrade, for providing yet another example of why European Jews should at least think about leaving and/or arming themselves. (Here’s another.)

Re-living the 1930’s with modern rose colored glasses.
Maybe we (Canada) should start granting refugee status to european jews.
“Loach, famous for films like Kes, Cathy Come Home and Riff Raff.” Is he? I wonder how many people have actually heard of these films, let alone actually seen them. I know I haven’t.
Quite. The Nazis also had very good and persuasive reasons – just read Mein Kampf. Jews deserve it.
Loach is from the angry Left of the 60’s, ‘Cathy come home’ was a docudrama he put on the BBC back in the ’60’s like all media Leftists he has an overblown ego, and thinks that normal people actually listen to what he says,
I don’t see much difference between Loach and the crowd that blames the US for the 9/11 attacks.
