"Everyone who supports Israel is a Zionist."

"In my view the European culture carries a very heavy responsibility for the creation of Israel... it is a product of both British and Stalin's anti- Semitism, but the British never faced their own complicity in its construction."

"I am not very moved by historical apologies."

"I don't think the British carry a historical consciousness either."

"I think protest and actions have to be organised against the Israelis and their backers. There needs to be a concerted high profile campaign to raise awareness of the people in this country."

"I never believed that Israel had the right to exist at all."
