Howard Jacobson: why can't they be more like us Jews

"They" being Muslims of course. Here's Howard Jacobson in the Independent today explaining why, in spite of the fact that, for Jews, "in regard to Israel .... Britain sometimes felt like an enemy state", Jews don't go around throwing bombs here.
Well, there wasn't a culture of it, for one thing. Throwing bombs at the innocent presupposes a mindset...
After explaining why the Jewish community is better and more British than the Muslim community, he then rounds on Ken Livingstone who, he says, agrees with everything about the London bombers except the bombings themselves. To see what a load of tosh that is go to Electronic Iraq to see what Ken actually said.
