Kick Ken out again

I hardly noticed Ken Livingstone warming a cell for Ariel Sharon and distributing hemp for the Saudi royals. Just to show a Guardian reporter he hasn't lost his touch he said he wants to see Sharon in prison and the Saudi royals hanging from lampposts. Now, see above, he's being accused of racism in The Guardian letters page. It's true there's a lot of hypocrisy in the charges levelled at Arab despots. Its interesting that Saudi has more in common with Israel than some people realise. The Saudi family rule the country, that is named after them, on the hereditary principle. Take away that hereditary principle and you "destroy" the state. The state of Israel is an apartheid state based on ethnic cleansing, the victims of ethnic cleansing may not return to their homes in what became Israel in 1948 and Jews world-wide can settle almost anywhere in Israel, and in large parts of illegally occupied territory. This means that Israel, like Saudi, is constructed on the hereditary principle. Take away Israel's hereditary principle and it's "goodbye Israel". Take it from Saudi and "goodbye Saudi". Of course, people can convert to Judaism, but then people can marry into the Saudi royal family.
