London Mayor Ken Livingstone slams Israeli policies, still refuses to apologize for comparing Jewish reporter to concentration camp guard

<snip>

"London's Mayor Ken Livingstone, known for his controversial statements, has denounced Prime Minister Ariel Sharon as a war criminal, in a searing critique of Israeli policies published in The Guardian newspaper.
Sharon "is a war criminal who should be in prison, not in office", Livingstone wrote."

"The mayor also denounced "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians during the expansion of Israel, settlement activity in the territories, and the denial of Palestinians' right to return."

"Livingstone argued that it was necessary to separate criticism of Israeli policies from anti-Semitism, saying the Israeli government deliberately attempted to conflate the two.

The government has for the past 20 years "attempted to portray anyone who forcefully criticizes the policies of Israel as anti-Semitic. The truth is the opposite: the same universal human values that recognize the Holocaust as the greatest racist crime of the 20th century require condemnation of the policies of successive Israeli governments," he wrote."
