The heart of Ken Livingstone

I haven't posted anything so far on the Ken Livingstone afair, mainly because it was so obviously odious anti-semitism that I didn't think it needed pointing out to anyone. It appears that I was wrong, sorry Mr Geras but there is no use splitting hairs over this.

After starting insulting Mr Finegold for no reason than he was doing his job, with the insults that he used instinctively of an antisemitic nature, Mr Livingstone deliberately then went on to call him a concentration camp guard. After he had been told he was Jewish. Deliberatly finding the most offensive thing he could to use as an insult based on this reporters religion.

He then refuses to say sorry because "why should I say words I do not believe in my heart". O.K. in a way it is good because re refuses to bend his principles for simple political expedient. But that doesn't excuse him as that the principle, the principle of anti-semitism, is wrong.
