Useful idiots

Idiot Kate Burton and her idiotic family sum up everything that is wrong with the British attitude to Israel. She seems to be have been genuinely happy to be kidnapped by terrorists with whom she identifies completely, and is no doubt delighted that the media coverage of her release presented the usual opportunity for unfounded Israel-bashing. No doubt also that some kind of ransom was paid to the terrorists and no doubt also that there will be dead Israelis at some time in the near future as a direct result of this. Melanie Philips and Media backspin present more on this story.
