Re: Manchester synagogue attack
I just watched the Synagogue vigil on TV. One of the speakers was David Lammy (where was the PM?). He was mercilessly heckled because of his past pronouncements on Israel, which are taken to stoke antisemitism.
His words were useless; thought are with you; we are with you; we have your back ... all that platitudinal stuff.
Apart from Starmer, other Labour front-benchers plus Rayner turned up. The Home Secretary was there and looked absolutely unphased. Remember, in her address yesterday, she never mentioned antisemitism.
Not only was yesterday evil stuff, it was an indictment of the government that has failed to deal with antisemitism in a definitive way. Stopping any marches that fuel antisemitism; educating whities on these demos who wear the Palestinian shawl but have absolutely no sense of history or proportion or an understanding of how they stoke antisemitism.
Will the government's focus still be on a definition of the word "Islamophobia"? As far as I am concerned there is no Islamophobia.
