Getting some classic #pbfreespeech this evening. The weakest set of principles known on the internet.You say that but have a Jewish wife and three half Jewish children then tell me that the Gaza flag wavers glorifying Hamas and calling for the eradication of Jews worldwide is just free speech. These thugs are on our streets encouraging acts like the one we saw today, they're out there waving the flags of Hezbollah, Hamas and even ISIS sometimes. They are supporting terrorists and they are celebrating the deaths of innocent people tonight, chanting "from the river to the sea" which is code for "kill all Jews".
Protesting against what is going on in Gaza is not glorifying violence - it's the exact opposite. It does not equate to expressing glee at the murders that happened today.
If there are people calling for the death of Jews, or celebrating what happened today, they should be banged up like those who called for the same after Southport.* I'm personally uneasy about any protest happening today given events; we know that some members of the Jewish community find them intimidating. They should have been postponed to tomorrow.
But I would never presume to deny people's right to free assembly, whatever my personal feelings. If we allow a terrorist attack like the one today to lead us to abandon our principles in this way then the Islamist extremists have succeeded in subverting our democracy.
*Note that the police don't often arrest people straight away other than ringleaders - we may find that some individuals are lifted the morning like what happened after the far-right march in London.
We're allowing this kind of extremism against Jews to be normalised in this country with zero consequences, except to the innocent people who get murdered by the terrorists who are inspired to acts of violence by the mob. My wife hasn't been to the temple for almost 6 months, our third child has yet to be taken there either. This is exactly why, there is a huge amount of fear among the British Jewish community and it's time to bring these Gaza thugs to book.

You know who doesn't go around shooting people, stabbing people beheading people, and randomly massacring worshippers for the purposes of their religion? British JewsJewish people have lived peacefully in north Manchester for hundreds of years. A nice quiet community, peacefully co-existing with their neighbours. I went to college just up the road in the 1990s and it was a great time. I then lived in Golders Green as a young graduate. As a young woman, I never felt anything other than totally safe there.
Nor do they openly despise me, our country, its values. Nor are they a massive net fiscal drag on the economy. They are resourceful, hardworking, law abiding. British Jews. And they are the ones being attacked
These are our people. We need to protect them.

And they got recognition of Palestine from the U.K. as a result of their attack without any obligations on them to do anything at all. They are still holding hostages, slowly starving them. And today we see what "globalise the intifada" means in reality.Sadly, the leaders of Hamas will regard the trade of Palestinians lives for greater hatred of Israel as a price well worth paying.Hamas weren't exactly bright on October 7th 2023. Arguably the most stupid terrorist attack in history,We're not dealing with the best and brightest here.Police will let a pro-Palestine protest go ahead at a Manchester railway station just hours after a terror attack on a synagogue.The protestors are really bad at reading the room, aren't they?
The British Transport Police (BTP) said they are stepping up patrols after pro-Palestine activists began urging each other to descend on Manchester station at 5.30pm on Thursday.
A force spokesman said BTP would “facilitate peaceful protest” but that officers would intervene if protesters tried to get inside the station.
Social media posts urged pro-Palestine activists to “block the tracks” in protest against Israel’s arrest of Greta Thunberg.
Re: Bridget over troubled water for Phillipson – politicalbetting.com
This is AFTER the Manchester attackAs with the Charlie Kirk assassination it's the glee at which the hard left has greeted this terrorist attack that is truly disgusting. A crazy terrorist is a sad fact of our society given the kind of immigration we've had into the country from the Islamic world, the apparent glee at the murder of these innocent people by the Gaza mob really shows what they're about.
My God, I hate these people
"Liverpool Street right now, it’s grim to be a Jew in the UK. I’m absolutely sick , the police is here doing nothing while people chant ‘from the river to the sea’ and glorifying violence.
Prime Minister, you are responsible"

We should never have tolerated their presence on our streets in the first place. Trump had it right, all of the foreign agitators should be deported and the rest should start to face consequences for glorifying terrorists and calling for violence against Jews.

Good eveningIf you are a Muslim-hating moron why would you care who the victims were? The point is that the perp was a Muslim terrorist and have not all the plastic patriots said that Muslims are terrorists?The country is going to be set on fire thanks to the identity of the synagogue terroristI doubt it, thanks to the identity of the victims.
I am very concerned about the language being used in this terrible tragedy and to be fair I am not sure your comments are helpful
We need to dial down the rhetoric from all sides and especially tonight, respect the victims
RIP

I hope Elon Musk never gets into a scandal because ElonGate would be really drawn out.

Britain must defeat rising antisemitic hatred, Starmer saysAll true. But what he diesn't say is that we could have prevented it rising once again by importing rather fewer people whose antisemtism is towards the livelier end of the spectrum.
Britain is a country that has welcomed Jewish communities and has provided refuge and a home, he says.
But Britain is also a country were Jewish buildings require round-the-clock protection and specialist security is necessary "because of the daily threat of antisemitic hatred", Starmer says.
He says this is not a new hatred but one that is "rising once again" and Britain must "defeat it once again".
