Activist politician living on the dole found guilty of assaulting Jewish man at London supermarket protest plans to vigorously appeal conviction.
Hold on to your hats, guys -- this one's got it all!
An anti-Israel activist has this week been found guilty of assaulting a Jewish man at a London supermarket protest calling for a ban of Israeli produce.
Start with your basic anti-Zionist misbehavior...
Last August, Carole Swords, chairwoman of the Respect Party in the East London borough of Tower Hamlets,
And she's a political henchwoman of the very describable George Galloway...
attacked counter-protester Harvey Garfield after he allegedly stood in the way of her damaging Israeli goods at a Tesco supermarket in central London.
But his existence prevented her from expressing herself fully.
Garfield claimed that he was at the store to defend Israeli products from potential vandalism by protesters. "On the day, I heard about the supermarket protest and went along in order to inform the store and help identify the activists," he said.
Swords was found guilty on a public order offense and was given a conditional discharge by the City of London Magistrate's Court after she assaulted Garfield, knocking his glasses off.
She was ordered to pay £250 costs, and she offered to pay £1 a week because she is receiving state benefits.
Let her work it off in a job suitable for a person of her demonstrated abilities -- sweeping streets, perhaps, or stuffing envelopes...and withdraw the benefits.
According to the Respect Party, Swords will be "vigorously" appealing the charge.
In court, Swords accused Garfield of harassment but the court reviewed CCTV footage from the supermarket which revealed that Swords had used "threatening and abusive behavior to cause harassment."
Whoops. One hopes no one actually said, "Liar, liar, pants on fire," aloud.
The incident occurred after a protest by anti-Israel activists at an Ahava store in Covent Garden, central London.
Garfield was part of a group of counter-demonstrators targeting Israeli goods.
Garfield said that Swords had approached the staff at the grocery store and demanded to know why it stocked Israeli products. She was told to address any complaints to Tesco's head office. At that point she left the store but then returned, and after seeing Garfield, she swore at him and assaulted him.
Sensing the possibility for mayhem...
"As I turned to follow she stopped and said don't you f-- -ing follow me. Before I had a chance to answer she struck me in the face causing my glasses to fall off," Garfield said.
He said he then found a police officer who locked away her, and she spent 10 hours in jug.
He was accused of punching Swords, spitting in her face and calling her a Nazi and Paleostinian terrorist. "I was asked if I had suggested that she was a supporter of terrorism to which I said no but that I had photo of her in Gazoo standing behind Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, [leader Mahmoud] Zahar stating that Hamas is a proscribed terrorist organization by her majesty's government," Garfield said.
But wait, there's more!!
Swords is also an organizer of the Viva Paleostina group set up by former MP and anti- Israel activist George Galloway ... a Brit embarrassment, not particularly honest, more fond of dictators and faceless myrmidons than he is of his native countrymen except at the peak of the election cycle ... . In 2010, she took part in a convoy Gazoo where she met with Hamas leaders.
And even more:
According to the popular London-based blog Harry's Place, Swords recently linked to a video of a Holocaust denier who states in the clip that Christian support for Israel shows that there is no longer any Christianity, only "Holocaustianity." Previously Swords had written on Facebook that Zionists are "cockroaches" who "hide in the dark and try to create havoc where they lay their eggs."
She also claimed on another entry that Israel is in control of the US and, according to Harry's Place, has linked to stories by Louis Farrakhan and a David Duke supporter.
Checking off every item on the list, we continue...
The blog has also shown that Swords liked a "Free Mohammed Hamid" page on Facebook. Hamid, according to Harry's Place, is a recruiter of faceless myrmidons in the UK.
Just the kind of person one wants set free to walk the streets of London, don't you agree?
Last July she told a Jewish counter demonstrator at another anti-Israel protest at the Ahava store that he should "go back to Russia."
But she will be the Cause Célèbre for the world's idiots.

Hold on to your hats, guys -- this one's got it all!
This is not the perfect contry and western song, because it doesn't have anything about Mama, or trains, or prisons, or trucks or gettin' drunk... oops, wrong comment. sorry.
[An Nahar] A British judge on Monday ordered the release on bail of radical holy man Abu Qatada, allegedly a former top aide of al-Qaeda chief the late Osama bin Laden, Osama bin Laden is dead.
He took two shots to the head.
That made him frown
and he had to lie down.
Osama bin Laden is dead. despite government concerns he poses a security risk.
The interior ministry condemned the decision, saying the 51-year-old is "a dangerous man who we believe poses a real threat to our security and who has not changed in his views or attitude to the UK."
Britannia has been trying to deport Qatada to Jordan for the past six years but its efforts were blocked last month by the European Court of Human Rights, which said evidence against him may have been obtained through torture.
Following the European ruling, Qatada applied to the Special Immigration Appeals Commission in Britannia to be released from the high-security Long Lartin jail in Worcestershire, central England.
Lawyer Ed Fitzgerald told the commission that Qatada's detention for six and a half years while fighting deportation "has now gone on for too long to be reasonable or lawful".
"However the risk of absconding, however the risk of further offending, there comes a point when it's just too long."
But Keith Vaz, a politician who chairs parliament's Home Affairs Select Committee, said most people would be "astonished by this decision considering Abu Qatada is wanted on terrorism charges in eight countries".
"The only way to avoid the situation occurring again is a fast-tracked system in the UK and EU courts so that those who pose a threat to the British public are deported as swiftly as possible."
Judge John Mitting ruled that Qatada should be set free under "highly prescriptive terms" for the next three months.
After that the judge indicated he may release Qatada altogether unless the government had made progress in trying to deport him. "The time will arrive quite soon when continuing detention or deprivation of liberty could not be justified," Mitting said.
Once again Europeans sit in judgment of others around the world, and impose European standards on other countries. There's an old 19th century word for that, though I can't quite remember. Hmmm, 'imper...' something...
Qatada, a Jordanian of Paleostinian origin who is also known as Omar Mohammed Othman, was once labeled bin Laden's right-hand man in Europe by a Spanish judge. The father-of-five, who arrived in Britannia in 1993 claiming asylum, has been in and out of prison for the past decade and has thwarted numerous attempts by the authorities in London to deport him.
The holy man has been convicted in his absence in Jordan of involvement in two attacks and Amman has repeatedly urged London to extradite him.
The European court said however that it "finds that there is a real risk that the applicant's retrial would amount to a flagrant denial of justice" -- a violation of Article 6 of the Convention on Human Rights.
Interior minister Theresa May is now seeking assurances from Jordan that evidence gained through torture would not be used against Qatada.
If the Jordanians aren't to be allowed to jug him, why would they want him?
A front man for the interior ministry, known as the Home Office in Britannia, added: "This is not the end of the road and we are continuing to consider our legal options in response to the European Court's ruling."
The judge said it would take "between a few days and about a week" for Britannia's domestic intelligence service MI5 to check Qatada's proposed bail address, which was not revealed in court, before he could be released.
The holy man will subsequently be under a 22-hour curfew, prohibited from using the Internet or any electronic communications and he will be electronically monitored. His visitors and movements will also be restricted.

Make the "judge" wear a tracking device too. He's a fucking danger to the entire country.

Perhaps they should deport him to the sacred precincts of the European Court of Human Rights. I would suggest that the British guards handcuff him to the desk of the senior judges clerk, then quickly exit the building.

Impeachment and removal from office ought to cover that problem. Not that Cameron the squish would ever exert himself to do anything controversial like that.

a muslim Henry Waxman with all the personality and charm included. An axe handle to the face every waking morning would be my tracking device. Can't walk? We know where you are
