‘Pro-Palestine protesters haven’t any disgrace in UK the place spineless leaders enable antisemitism’ | Politics | News | EUROtoday

The appalling terrorist assault on Thursday was stunning, however not a shock. Rampant antisemitism and extremism has been allowed to go unchecked within the nation. We noticed an explosion of antisemitism after the October seventh terrorist assault. It even received so unhealthy that the Conservative MP, Mike Freer, selected to face down due to the danger of violence from Islamists offended at his help for Israel.

A lethal assault was sadly the logical endpoint of this escalating extremism. Warning after warning was ignored by individuals in authority. A feeble and spineless class of leaders have tolerated antisemitism and allowed it to develop. Whether in our universities, charities, establishments just like the BBC and even the NHS, our elite class turned a blind eye.

Their heat phrases will probably be chilly consolation except they’re accompanied with motion. We don’t want extra performative acts of help, we’d like them to root out extremism and antisemitism ruthlessly wherever it rears its head. We want them to confront Islamism and the unconventional hate preachers which might be in a position to act in our communities to fire up anti-British and anti-Jewish sentiment with impunity.

What makes the assault yesterday much more revolting is the response from a small part of society, who proceeded to take to the streets even because the assault was nonetheless reverberating.

The scenes exterior Downing Street yesterday, the place pro-Palestine protesters descended into violence and assaults in opposition to the police, have been disgusting. Do these individuals haven’t any disgrace?

To make issues worse, a repeat protest is deliberate for tomorrow. If the organisers had any humanity, the protest can be cancelled.

But as a substitute it seems like it would go forward, replete with all the same old extremist chants we’ve come to anticipate. The fanatics will chant to “globalise the intifada”, oblivious to the violence that entails. We will little doubt hear once more the genocidal chant of “from the river to the sea”. When British Jews must be given area to grieve and mourn, they’ll as soon as once more be made to really feel unsafe within the centre of their capital metropolis.

It is a damning indictment of how unhealthy issues have gotten, that the Met police have been decreased to begging the organisers on social media to face down. The authorities have stated they’ll do no matter it takes to make British Jews feels protected as soon as once more. If they really imply it, this protest won’t go forward.

The nation can not tolerate this any longer. Britain the place our British Jewish mates are afraid is just not Britain.

Today, being a Jew in Britain will really feel lonely. Families will probably be eager about their future right here and whether or not they’re protected. They shouldn’t reside like this. We can not reside like this. We will not be helpless victims. We can select to root out this most cancers if our leaders truly care. I do know the place I stand.
