Warsi resigned from the government complaining bitterly about the government’s lack of action in holding Israel to account and its failure to stop Israel conducting anymore military operations.
It was all about Israel.
Indeed Warsi wanted to in effect disarm Israel leaving it unable to defend itself.
That of course doesn’t look too good…a Muslim demanding a Jewish state be disarmed and held to account for its ‘war crimes’….when she makes no similar demands about Syria, ISIS or Boko Haram.
And it was all about Israel as this interview on Channel 4 quite plainly shows.
However a few days after resigning she has clearly recognised the stance she has taken has made her look at the very least, anti-Israel and pro-Hamas ….looking very ‘morally indefensible’ herself.
To salvage her ‘moral’ position she was given another bite of the apple by the Today programme on Saturday….interviewed by Mishal Husain.….suddenly not just Israel but Hamas has to be held to account for its actions and arms must be prevented from being supplied to Hamas as well…..what about Fatah, Hezbollah, Iran and Syria?
So now we know, she wasn’t just having a go at the Jewish state. Clear? Good.
On listening to the interview you might think Husain did an OK job…she asked some awkward questions and kept at it when Warsi tried to dodge answering….especially about whether the resignation was political.
However other questions weren’t asked…ones that are just as, if not more relevant.
When asked why she had resigned just as a ceasefire had been negotiated she said that the ceasefire didn’t hold and her hopes were dashed.
But Husain didn’t then jump in and make the obvious point that it was Hamas that broke the ceasefire…so why is the government’s position towards Israel the problem? Isn’t it the Islamist Hamas that is the instigator of all this violence?
The biggest question though would have been ‘Did you resign because you are a Muslim?’
Warsi has been stating quite clearly that Gaza has ‘radicalised’ Muslims in the UK so it is fair to ask her if she has been ‘radicalised’…in her own way…..blocking attempts to tackle Muslim extremism.
She complains Cameron doesn’t tackle Israeli ‘extremism’ and yet she herself was the problem here at home:
Baroness Warsi is alleged by multiple sources in and out of government to have consistently resisted calls to develop a proper strategy on integration and tackling extremism at its roots, even though this is the Prime Minister’s policy and part of her job at the Communities and Local Government department. One source says: ‘Sayeeda made clear when she got the job at CLG that she didn’t agree with the Prime Minister and that she simply wasn’t going to do this bit of her job.’
A follow on question to that would have been…‘Are you suggesting British foreign policy be driven by those who make threats to bomb or otherwise attack the UK?’ because that was seemingly what she was saying should happen in her coded message about radicalisation and this not playing ‘domestically’….and by domestically she very specifically meant in the Muslim community….‘the British response to the crisis in Gaza will have a long term “detrimental impact on our reputation internationally and domestically”.’
Warsi was without question saying the government’s policies towards Israel should be guided by what the Muslim community thinks….the subtext to that being…or else they will become radicalised…and who knows what would happen then…..though, as in her C4 interview she links it all to British recruits heading off to Syria and ISIS, you can see her meaning.
Just what are those ‘consequences’ she speaks of ‘at home’?….’our current policy on Gaza is morally indefensible that it is not in our interests, not in British interests and that it will have consequences for us both internationally and here at home.’
The Interview by Husain on one level was quite good but as always with the BBC, on certain taboo subjects, failed to ask the really nasty, awkward questions that get to the truth….not that C4’s interview was hard hitting in the slightest…..accepting Warsi’s claims about Israeli actions as completely legitimate.
At least she didn’t say “One of my best friends is Jewish”.
… and just look at the airtime she s had?
this unelected, unwarranted ex cabinet member
member honorary of the house of frauds, problematic intermediary for the OIC.
… an 8 min Ch4 arrogant pontification stint,
… 11mins obfuscation stint on Toady.
Well at least she didn t threaten the “10 000 men”,
like her old “airmiles” buddy, the chip shop Baron himself Lord Ahmed.
Self inflicted damage for Cameron , going the unelected token muzzie bint route. Nothing like seeing some young special advisors’ stunt blow up in their face.
Channel 4 and Warsi “We are all Hezbollah, ISIS, Fatah and Hamas now”
I can feel a march coming through my colon.
Why would anyone want to march through your colon? 🙂
To show solidarity with the shiites?

What has this woman ever done for the benefit of our country that justifies her being accorded the title of baroness? It’s as well that I don’t come into contact with this lot because I couldn’t bring myself to address them by their assumed titles which infer superiority over the rest of us. That she’s a muslim speaks volumes about how she thinks and where her loyalties lie.
Warsi, like any good Muslim, has to support the Jihad. Her agenda is the same as the OICs.
Meanwhile, crucifixions, beheadings, and ethnic cleansings of Christians, continue apace in Islamic countries.
Not a pip out of Warsi
ISIS beheading, crucifying and slitting throats of Christian women and children

I just hope the above site is telling lies.
Grammatical correction : I should of course have used imply rather than infer.
As with all of her brethren:
Muslim first, British second.
i am not accusing warsi of this but,well i dont thnk i am,but from the cradle to the grave every muslm is born with this jihadi gene and supremacist attitude that anybody infidel or kuffar is of a lower species of life to them.i truly believe that,i really do.like i say i am not accusing varsi of this mind thought but sometimes i wonder what goes on inside the muslim mind when looking at us mortal infidels and kuffars,one thing i would like to ask warsi is why have you not condemmed and organised a protest against these isis muslim brothers of yours in iraq who are slaughtering,cutting the heads off and burying alive christian in there 1000s right here and now in iraq,why the silence of this mrs warsi from you and your fellow muslims in the uk.why.
Well said.
Front page of Sunday Times today – Warsi: Tories can’t win the next election – Cameron has ‘failed ethnic minorities’.
‘Minorities’…tail wagging the dog already.
There is the possibility that if one party is regarded as being the mouthpiece of the Islamic communities, that could drive other communities away – given the non-stop news about Islamic atrocities.
The BBC won’t have liked the comments against this item about Warsi:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-28730274
I wonder what criteria are used to decide when to close the comments?
Strange how the top Editors picks all say things to the effect that they respect the baroness’ decision, that she did the right thing, etcetera yet a glance at the comments didn’t really say the same sort of thing at all.
Is this a record? Five of the ten most highly-rated comments were removed because the bBBC didn’t agree with them, including the top one with over 170 positive clicks.

As eloquent a complement to Steve Jones’ question above as could be imagined.
When things go off piste they close ASAP, and then the kapos come out to tidy up once the area is safe.
May be worth saving this for when the Flokker ‘I’ve been censored!!!’ Whinge Commander goes off on one about free speech here.
Though doubtless when the BBC does more, worse, it’s ‘unique’ and therefore tickedy-boo.
That is interesting because earlier I read 5 pages of top-voted comments and NONE were removed; I got bored after 5 pages, not a single one in favour of Warsi HOWEVER none were rude, racist or ‘delete-worthy’ so I am guessing about mid-afternoon the moderator shift changed and Ali, when he sat down, wasn’t to happy so deleted a load.
Most comments support Warsi but the best supported are the anti-Hamas ones.
Ssing Sir Arthur’s post above, I must have missed the best comments before they were censored.
Ssing should have read Seeing.
I always sort by highest rated, this morning of the first 100 (out of about 600 at the time) were ALL (100%) not supporting Warsi, I gave up after that.

arms must be prevented from being supplied to Hamas as well
By controlling all goods entering Gaza with a military application, perhaps? By denying Gaza a sea port or an airport? Hamas demands the blockade be ended and they be awarded for making war by construction of a sea and airport.

Some media may like to start talking about this too. Or… frankly, at least know when to move on…

@MichaelWhite: Lady Warsi’s weekend media interviews should have stuck to Gaza. Targeting domestic political targets like Dave undermine her credibility

He’s well past his sell-by date. Mentioning credibility an ironic touch.
I suppose the bbc is aware that the majority of so-called statistics coming from the land known as palestine comes from the UNRWC, which is over 90% manned by arab muslims? As a matter of interest, does anyone know why the arabs in the land known as palestine should have their own relief agency in the UN, when the rest of the world is served by the UNHCR?
“BARONESS WARSI’S PRO-ISRAEL ‘CHEQUEBOOK’ COMMENT IS A SOP TO ANTI-SEMITES”
By Raheem Kassam.

Will unelected Muslim Warsi now apply to re-join the Government after it gives support to forces against the murdering Muslims of the Islamic State? Only kidding.
Some clearly disagree, but the ISIS to Islamic State seems to be a real re-branding cock-up, at least far as PR outside their megalomaniacal little circle.
It makes things a whole lot trickier from other, related, Islamic nutjobs, already egg-shellshocked surrounding countries… and the BBC’s finest… to separate individual atrocity from much more official pan border-sounding policy.
It will be interesting to see how the BBC works to make the differences between good killer terrorists and bad killer terrorists clear as public empathy for the overall Islam umbrella brand plummets.
