Residents of Golders Green booing and offensively chanting at the father of Jewish children. These already radicalised, hysterical lunatics don't get a free pass in a situation when cool heads are the only possible route out of this febrile shit show.

I've mentioned before that I don't like saying it, but some sections of the Jewish community do seem to think that there's only one form of discrimination.

Certainly, but that's true of all minorities that have been discriminated against, the obvious recent example being Diane Abbott's ludicrous claim that only black people are subject to racism. It's not complicated, people are more acutely aware of discrimination when they're the target. Plus it is also true that currently Jews are, proportionately, suffering more discrimination than any other minority.

You are missing out the one true form of discrimination. Announce a programme to provide additional training or opportunities for an under-represented minority and you will find out who the real victims are.

Irony being he’s probably the only leader who is willing to tackle antisemitism in his party. The rest are eithier dabble in it such as Farage and Zack or ignore it such as Badenoch.

Not sure what Davey’s position is though I’ve not heard much from their representatives.

There is a thick seam of the Niemöllers running through this, and that is a good thing.

I'll qualify that "good thing" if it means that there will now be concerted action to tackle the record highs of hate crimes aimed at Muslims with 4,478 crimes being recorded in the year ended March 2025.

Surely it's a good thing to tackle all hate crimes?

[kreuzberger]

That is exactly the point I was making.
