Not the image I have

Time Magazine has just done a story on how the image by Americans of British youth is that they are, in short, a bunch of violent, promiscuous drunks: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/global/main.jhtml?xml=/global/2008/03/28/noindex/ntime128.xml&CMP=EMC-expat2008.

Actually, that's not the image I have. The one in my mind is of a bunch of Islamified dhimmis who hate Israel.

"If you drove past a North London Tube station on a Saturday night between around 1980 and 1999, the likelihood is that you would have witnessed hordes of Jewish youngsters hanging around outside, gossiping, flirting and showing off their latest pair of Nike trainers or Chipie chinos.

Known as “becks” — a term some say derived from the Biblical name Rebecca, but was applied equally to girls and boys — they were confident, materialistic and gregarious. But although the label is still in use, these days they are harder to spot....

Rabbi Leivi Sudak ... laments their disappearance. He believes the teenagers were driven off the streets by “yobs” and protection rackets, and because of complaints about the noise they made.

“I mourn the demise of the becks,” he says. “The reason they don’t socialise on the streets any more is because they used to get attacked by other groups. Our children became victims and we didn’t respond correctly to it. We were embarrassed by this institution. We didn’t like the noise and the numbers, therefore we discouraged the becks. When there was no longer a safe place for them to be, the becks ceased to be. Now there aren’t any Jewish meeting places where they can just be normal kids.”

COMMENT Why can't Jewish kids socialise openly in public these days? Who are these 'yobs', 'other groups' and 'protection rackets' who have appeared since 1999 to intimidate and attack them? Must be the Methodists.

Perhaps wild youth could save Britain, by fighting off extremists.
