"In response to Sir Keir's interview with Today, Green Party leader Zack Polanski said the prime minister was "using the pain and fear of Jewish people to threaten further authoritarian restrictions on peaceful protest".

Sky News this morning implying that the well documented atrocities of the Israeli government are only happening in the minds of protesters. As in, they’re imagined. British mainstream media has become a real cesspit.
Yesterday in Hastings, in the wake of antisemitic attacks in Golders Green, I faced Nazi salutes.
Today the Prime Minister uses his office to attack the only Jewish party leader to score political points.
BREAKING: Essa Suleiman, 45, has been remanded in custody having been charged with two counts of attempted murder over the Golders Green stabbings.

Feels like neo-nazis performing Nazi salutes to a Jewish man in public should be apart of the current conversation about antisemitism... but the media consensus seems to be that Zack Polanski is one of the Bad Kinds Of Jew and therefore it's not really important.
These are the people I’ve marched with against genocide in Gaza. The fight against antisemitism and the fight for Palestinian liberation should be seen as part of the same anti-racist struggle. The two are not and have never been mutually exclusive.
What?
He’s been charged with THREE counts of attempted murder.
The third alleged victim is Ishmail Hussein.
What is the editorial justification for not even stating that it’s three counts of attempted murder!
The fire was at a residential house next to the synagogue.
Assistant Commissioner Andy Pennick, speaking from the incident said: "At this stage, we do not believe that the fire was started deliberately, however, investigations are ongoing by our Fire Investigation Team to determine the cause of the fire."
Remember when Zack Polanski talked about the “perception of unsafety” for Jewish people?
It’s headlines like these that contribute to that
So a 24-hour "antisemitism" panic with immediate calls for speech codes and protest bans, all over a psychiatric patient who attacked the first three people he encountered, one of whom wasn't even Jewish. 🥴
Channel 4 News has learned the Golders Green attacker left a psychiatric hospital run by South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust in recent days.
More tonight at 7pm.
