Certainly if i'm inaccurate its not deliberate.
My original point was the fact that Nick Griffin was being

a) contradictory ("stand behind Israel's right to deal with terrorists" and "reach an accord with the Muslim world whereby they will agree to take back their excess population which is currently colonising this country, in exchange for an ironclad guarantee that Britain will never again interfere in the political affairs of the Middle East or try to dictate to any Arab or Muslim country as to what their internal government form should be") - if you believe that the Gaza Strip is part of the Palestinian National Authority, and the PNA is an Interim Administrative Body (a de facto government), and Hamas won a majority at the last PNA elections, surely he is interfering?

b) empty - at the time both statements above were made, the BNP had about 50 or so councillors out of 22000 (the Green Party have twice as many); not really in a position to make "accords". Also, reach an accord with the Muslim world - not even the "Muslim world", if such a thing exists, can do that; do we really believe that the diplomatic powers of the BNP can get Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Indonesia, Pakistan, Libya, Somalia, Ethiopia, etc etc, to agree to something.
