Oxford University chancellor lies about Gaza - 'In an article at European Voice, entitled "The Gaza Prison,"current Oxford chancellor( also the last British governor of Hong Kong and a former European commissioner for external affairs) Chris Patten parrots lies about Israel and Gaza...'
I'll say here what I just said over at Elder of Zion:
How unsurprising coming from Christopher Patten. Back when he was the EU's minister for external affairs, Patten went to great lengths to deny that antisemitism was a significant issue in so very enlightened, tolerant Europe. I can't come up with a link to the op-ed Patten wrote back then (2002?), but IIRC, Charles Krauthammer went after him for that dishonesty, and this Washington Post editorial alludes to Patten's blind eye to antisemitism.
