Antisemitism is a ‘national emergency’

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.

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.

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.

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
