The Labour government apparently does not care about Hamas terrorists promoting Hamas in London. What they do seem to care about is shutting down all criticism of Hamas. One elderly pensioner – who expressed his disappointment that Palestinian flags were being flown all over Bethnal Green Road in East London – learned he was arrested for it.
Then there are the mosques, where hatred and violence are preached. At Birmingham’s Green Lane Mosque, for instance, the imams give lectures on how to properly stone a woman – you first bury her up to her waist – and how to kill homosexuals and apostates. Evidently, that did not bother the British government one bit . Last year, it awarded the mosque a £2.2 million ($2.8 million) grant towards “youth services” to fund “mentors and role models” such as “trusted adults found in youth centers.”
So, while ordinary Britons are serving prison sentences of up to several years for posting relatively bland statements on social media, the people behind these charities and mosques continue to run their businesses as usual.
Where does that leave the Jews and everyone else? In beautiful downtown Upyoursville.
European authorities, as usual, refuse to fight the violence running rampant in their streets. Most recently, Amsterdam’s mayor, Femke Halsema, banned a rally against antisemitism at the central Dam Square; she said out of concern for Jewish citizens.
After the Amsterdam attacks against Jews and Israelis, during which the police stood by and did nothing, Halsema publicly regretted calling the event a pogrom. Such terms, she said, were “propaganda”:
“If I had known that it would be used politically in this way, and also as propaganda… I want nothing to do with that. The Israeli government spoke of a ‘Palestinian pogrom on the streets of Amsterdam,’ and in The Hague, the words were used to discriminate against Moroccan Amsterdammers – Muslims. That is not what I meant or what I wanted.”
In Berlin, Germany, Police Chief Barbara Slowik recently advised gays and Jews to conceal those aspects of their identities in neighborhoods with large Arab populations.
“There are areas of the city, we need to be perfectly honest here, where I would advise people who wear a kippah or are openly gay to be more careful,” she said. “There are certain neighbourhoods where the majority of people of Arab origin live, who also have sympathies for terrorist groups,” and are “openly hostile towards Jews”.
In London, antisemitic violent crime is rampant: Between October 2023 and October 2024, 2,383 antisemitic hate crimes occurred, compared to 550 in 2022 and 845 in 2021. The city actually created a special bus route for Jews to make them “feel safe.”.
“Jewish Londoners have felt scared to leave their homes,” London Mayor Sadiq Khan said earlier this year.
“So, this direct bus link between these two significant communities [Stamford Hill in Hackney and Golders Green in Barnet,] means you can travel on the 310, not need to change, and be safe and feel safer. I hope that will lead to more Londoners from these communities using public transport safely.”
