Antisemitism is a 'national emergency'
 

According to the UK’s independent terrorism watchdog.

It sticks in my throat to listen to ministers and senior coppers telling us they can’t guarantee Jews are safe on our streets. Worse is their wilful refusal to see the obvious connection between murderous violence against British Jews and the last two or more years of viciously antisemitic demonstrations on our streets, which they largely refused to do anything about, on the basis that chanting ‘globalize the intifada’ and ‘from the river to the sea’ is legitimate protest about the war in Gaza.

And the constant influx of undocumented Islamic males ...... Slow invasion

Re: Antisemitism is a ‘national emergency’
 

Politicians, Police Chiefs, in fact most people with any kind of 'power' are simply too scared to say or do anything about the 'problems' in this country because they don't want to upset somebody (usually one of the minorities).

The whole establishment of Law & Order is slowly being eroded because it's dangerous and career ending to speak out

Re: Antisemitism is a ‘national emergency’
 

They can't guarantee I'm safe on the streets, it's just not possible to guarantee peoples safety.

Re: Antisemitism is a ‘national emergency’
 

My thought as I read this , no one is safe, labour is just making vote speak.

Re: Antisemitism is a ‘national emergency’
 

Plays straight into bibi's hands, he's been telling Jews for decades that they're not safe and move to Israel to help with his expansionist policies without taking any responsibility for those policies making people less safe and that's without questioning the false equivalence he loves to trot out that criticism of Israeli government policy is anti semetic, get that last point through the excrement for brains losers here and it'd solve a lot of the problems..

The actions of Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, this and other attacks are more than a little beyond criticism.

Starmer heckled by protesters as he visits terror attack scene

Starmer blunders in with his size 10 boots

PM heckled by protesters on visit to Golders Green
Keir Starmer has been met with groups of protesters as he visits Golders Green after yesterday's double stabbing.

Some of those gathered carry posters which say "Keir Starmer, Jew harmer".

Chants saying the same can also be heard.

Shouts of "shame on you" also met the prime minister as he arrived.

The prime minister has been speaking today about the importance of standing with the Jewish community, saying it is not just their fight but also "our fight", as his government also announced plans to tackle antisemitism.

Those plans include an extra £25m for more police measures to protect Jewish communities, as well as a proposed new law to target proxy groups. The government said it's taking action to fill a "gap in the law" which could allow individuals directed by proxies, such as groups linked to Iran, to avoid justice.

But critics say these measures are "too little, too late" after a recent spate of attacks targeting the UK's Jews.

The way Government procurement works, that should amount to 5 laptops, 2 sets of hand held walkie talkies, 4 new 'anonymous' facebook accounts, a dog van (but no dog), 7 extra interpreters, 27 cup final tickets, and the rest spent on meetings, consultations and administration fees.

Re: Antisemitism is a ‘national emergency’
 

It's a huge problem that is taken less seriously than other forms of racism. You'll get a lot of casual anti-semitic tropes just casually thrown out without shame or really any awareness.

I am not sure how we fight it other than more policing and more aggressive education about anti-semitism. This existed long before October 7th. Jewish buildings have needed more security as long as I can remember.

Jews apparently make up less than 0.5% of the total UK population.
I dont doubt there are issues in some areas, but not exactly a National Emergency.

Re: Antisemitism is a ‘national emergency’
 

Said young Adolf in about 1930. :erm:

It doesn’t matter how many people there are in a particular religious or ethnic group. Europe still has living memory of what happens when persecution of such a group is allowed to go on. In the last couple of months we’ve had murder, attempted murder, premises vandalised, vehicles torched … and not all in one corner of London either, it’s occurring in various places. Add to that the credible evidence, being reported today, that bad actors (i.e. Iran) are inciting and possibly even facilitating it, and we very much are into emergency territory. We can’t cede the streets to lawlessness, no matter who the victims are.

Its never has been safe in Cleethorpes. Nice chips though.

Re: Antisemitism is a ‘national emergency’
 

Try to invoke Hitler as reasoning really isnt going to fly.
I'm surprised you would actually try and use that for justification.

As I noted, yes, it may be an issue in some areas.
Its not a "National Emergency", not by any means.

Running out of fuel, that would be more of a National Emergency.

Re: Antisemitism is a ‘national emergency’
 

Hitler, specifically in this case, because the victims are Jews. Surely you can see the parallel. A great many Germans in the 1930s had no particular animosity towards Jews and went along with it because it was far easier to pile on to a minority than to defend them. But sure, it doesn’t have to be Hitler - Jews have had a particular problem with religious/ethnic persecution in Europe for centuries. That’s why ‘antisemitism’ has its own name. It’s supremely ugly wherever such pogroms flare up, and it’s sickening that it should be happening here and now.

Re: Antisemitism is a ‘national emergency’
 

Two types of religious nutjobs in the UK.

The pleasant ones that stop you in the street trying to give (or sell) you pamphlets, and the not so pleasant that try to stop you in the street with a knife (or machete)

Both are prone to believing untruths (IMO) handed down generation to generation

Re: Antisemitism is a ‘national emergency’
 

None of that makes any difference to my point, its not a "National Emergency".

Re: Antisemitism is a ‘national emergency’
 

Even if it was, the media (and politicians) will be following a different 'incident' next week. There's so much crap going on in the UK that they never get a minute to sort any of it.

. . . . can I add NHS, Social Care, Water Utilities, Housing, Unemployment, Public Transport, Prisons, Drugs . . . . Politics :erm:

Re: Antisemitism is a ‘national emergency’
 

That’s your colours nailed to the mast.

That you should link Bibi’s expansionist policies to the safety of Jews in the UK adds the extra nails.

Except that enough’s enough. Something has to tip matters over the edge.

“National Emergency”, if it really were, would allow us to push the invading boats back.

The Jew haters will love that remark.

Certain Muslims would like that 0.5% to be eradicated. Christians next.

Re: Antisemitism is a ‘national emergency’
 

Wrong as usual, it's why I usually ignore everything you say as irrelevant drivel.

I think its a disgrace people including someone I have known and worked with for years have left the UK (and taken his large amounts of cash with him) because they are scared of how Jews are treated here but that doesn't mean I'm oblivious to the fact Israeli government policy is making it harder for Jews everywhere, probably deliberately designed to as well nor that their ludicrous claims that criticism of those policies is antisemitic, which gets into the heads of some and aligns with others thinking, with predictable results and yet again innocent people suffer and the bigger picture ignored because you can't call out the Greater Israel nut jobs coz it's antisemitic, even though there is more Christian that believe in it than Jewish.

Re: Antisemitism is a 'national emergency'
 

Finally - with an election breathing down his neck - Starmer grows a pair and admits that some so-called Pro-Palestine demos are in fact antisemitic hate marches that should probably be banned.

About as vague and wolley as you would expect from a politician.

Re: Antisemitism is a 'national emergency'
 

The usual, lots of words, no content

Re: Antisemitism is a ‘national emergency’
 

I never said there was, quite the opposite in fact and you wonder why I mention irrelevant drivel...

Oh yeah, it's the real giveaway but at the same time I'm right, it's not either or, we can do both without fear or favour imho, sort the dodge pots out here first and then hold Bibi and his regime accountable for what they've done.
