UK Politics #25

[Ekathrina]

The threat from Far Right terrorism pales into utter insignificance when contrasted with the sheer amount of attacks coming from non ‘far right’ players. It’s quite the shame that MI5 didn’t manage to identify the threat coming from the guy in Golders Green, given that Prevent were already aware of him.
In a few days time this incident will all be forgotten. Until the next one, when the cycle will repeat, we’ll all be told how much of a threat the far right and Reform voters are, rinse and repeat.

UK terror threat has been raised to severe according to BBC
Jews are leaving the UK to move to Israel. It’s disgusting.

They're blatantly going to use this incident to crack down on any criticism of what Israel's doing in the middle east

Oh be quiet. Jews are being targeted on British streets. Jewish Britons are terrified. they're moving abroad, they are changing their appearances. We have Jew haters going door to door and MPs cheering on terrorist organisations.

The fact is the left are just as dangerous as the far right but they’re being ignored as they’re seen as the party of liberals. The parties of trans activists who just want fair access to changing rooms, hormones, to free Palestine and to allow our borders to be open to all. That seems fair right. They’re not bad people right?

When in reality we’ve seen them shouting (along with MPs) to globalise the intifada, calling for death to Jews, beating cops with sledge hammers, berating women, putting anyone else’s rights above women’s (just look at all the assault cases at the hands of people in the country illegally). The Green Party are an absolute joke of a party tbh, the antisemitism within them is rife and now Polanski is trying to act like he gives a tit about the Jewish community. He makes my skin crawl.

Most of what has happened in this country recently has either been by terror cells (Islamic) or the left. Sorry to burst anyone’s bubble. People kick off when they’ve had enough and it’s become a pressure cooker of emotion. Is it bad when they do that? Sure. I hate it because it looks like a bunch of chavvy blokes in track suits doing it for the wrong reasons. I’d love it if they’d just sit down in the street and do it peacefully. But I guess they don’t know how to do that. I know riots are going to happen at some point because too much of this kind of thing is happening now. It’s sad.

It’s not just one incident though, there have been multiple, violent incidents towards Jewish people in this country.

 

[Notworthy]

I think the word Starmer and Khan should be using is ashamed because that is what I am. I'm ashamed that the UK has become a country where Women and Jews are scared to walk outside in too many places.
We have had our tolerance weaponised against us.

One thing we may be missing regarding this terror incident - is the attacker a heavy cannabis user?

THE TWO SHOULDNT BE LINKED. We are British Jews, we should be treated as such and as your neighbours, members of the community we live in, serve, walk beside day by day just trying our best to be good people.

The Golders Green stabber, Essa Suleiman, was previously sentenced to 9 years in prison for stabbing a police officer and his dog. I expect more offences will come out too.

Oh he definitely had previous…

Knifeman worked on school grounds

A DRUG-crazed knifeman who stabbed two cops and a dog in Liden earlier this year worked as a security guard patrolling a Swindon primary school.

But they are being linked. The Golders Green attack is being linked by politicians, the media, and some of the public, both to Iran and to pro Palestine marches.

They shouldn't be, but are linked! Very much so by the Pro Palestine/anti Jew supporters. That's where the buck stops. The protests should never have been allowed.

 

[Ekathrina]

Aren’t some Iranian terrorist group claiming links to the perpetrator though? Maybe that might be the reason people are coming to that conclusion - regardless if it’s true or not. And if it’s not related to Palestine or Iran then why did he target Jews in a predominantly Jewish area? No one with any sense thinks it’s just a coincidence.

Years ago I used to live in an area of a city that had a big Somali population, they even had their own ‘cafe’ where the men (never saw any women of course) and they’d sit outside shouting, smoking, spitting and using khat - this was in the late 90’s, khat was still legal then. Mainly they harassed every woman that walked past but sometimes they’d engage in raging battles with the local men, mainly men from the Caribbean. I bet the Caribbean men are in the minority now of course due to demographic change.

The marchers you mentioned have more in common with the knifeman, than British Jews do with the IDF.

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

My mum was one of those - just wanted to grow veggies, walk her dogs and live a happy life. I think some Green supporters still think that's what the party stands for - someone I know socially has stated that she wants to vote for them despite avoiding all current affairs/the news and won't read up on their current policies

'They're not the Conservatives or Restore or Reform therefore they must be great'

I used to vote for the Green Party and have done several times since I turned 18. It’s a completely different party in the past few years to what it was.

That's why I asked because I used to quite like some of the Green Party speakers. They often spoke a lot of common sense. Now they scare me.

I used to live in Wembley Park and there used to be a lot of Somalian people living there. There were walls stained by them spitting khat on them. They didn’t give a damn about it. Men glaring at you or following you. I remember having one following me from the job centre one day and demanding my phone number from me. I politely told him I was engaged (which was true), he then called me a white bleep because I was evidently lying to him about not wanting to give him my number. Such is life. I mean who would want a delightful man with two teeth in his face who charms the birds from the trees with such words.

Yes you are. I completely 100% agree with you.
But unfortunately there are plenty of people who seem to be incapable of differentiating between British Jews, Israelis and the actions of the Israeli government, and lump them all together. I think mostly as an excuse for their antisemitism.

Now while I completely understand that Jewish people are rightly angry, frightened and frustrated at the rise in attacks against Jewish people in this country, and have every right to take to the streets to protest, I can’t help thinking that flying Israeli flags during the march is pretty unwise and does nothing to reinforce the fact that it is BRITISH Jews who are being targeted.
