Hi Mike! I was wondering what is your view regarding Ken Livingston. Do you think he's a fitting mayor to a city such as London?
It seems to me that his anti-Israeli views, coupled with his belittling of the Holocaust and his endorsement of the anti-Semite (and terror supporter to boot), Sheikh Yusuf Al Qaradawi, help fuel the demonisation of Israel, which seems to be one of the major driving forces of anti-Semitism in Europe (partially replacing some of the more "classical" religious and social reasons). Unfortunately, the number of anti-Semitic incidents in England rose last year by over 40%, reaching its highest level ever.
Some of Livingston's "pearls of wisdom" can be found here:
