You may not agree with me, but you will always know where you stand with me.
Today in Billericay, a heckler tried to shout me down as I spoke about the normalisation of hatred towards Jews. I did not back down, because it needs to be said. British Jews are being targeted and too many people are pretending this is the same experience of other minorities. This lady implied Muslims are being similarly targeted. This is simply not true.
Let's be honest about what is happening. Certain groups (in particular but not solely Islamic Extremists) are creating a climate of fear and intimidation that is normalising Jew hatred. I will never stand for that. Governments have spent too long hand-wringing, making excuses and hoping it would go away. It is time to call this what it is: a national emergency in our attitude, our urgency and our response.
I will always engage with people who disagree with me. That is politics. But there is a difference between argument and intimidation. Shouting does not make a bad case good. It's done to silence others. And it certainly does not change the truth.
The truth is that British Jews have been made to feel less safe in their own country. Our country. They are being singled out, threatened and harassed in ways that should shame everyone in public life. If we do not stand up now and stop this rise in antisemitism, then why bother saying "Never Again" at Holocaust Memorial Day? Because this is how it starts.
I am not prepared to play along with the pretence that this is normal, or manageable, or just another example of tension between groups. It really is not. It is targeted hatred and it is getting worse.
So my message is simple. Not here. Not in Britain. And not on our watch. We need to stop the hand-wringing and start doing the right thing. That means standing with British Jews openly, unapologetically and without fear.

@MichaelRapaport One has to ask. How can they keep demonstrating? Don't they have jobs? Silly question..Of course not. They are leeches on society. Getting every government benefit possible & then condem those who work hard. Shame I'm too busy at work to counter demonstrate. Ive got bills to pay
These scumbags are planning to protest outside a Jewish children’s school in Manhattan today.
Not City Hall. Not a government building.
A SCHOOL.
With little kids.
This is 10 minutes from where the Mayor is staying. Ten minutes.
Because of this garbage, kids are being sent home early.
Parents are being told come get your children & cancel after-school programs. For their safety.
Pennsylvania Hospital (Penn Medicine) employee Michael Nocella films a TikTok at work portraying a harmful stereotype of greedy, money-hungry Jews.
This kind of conduct is unacceptable in any professional setting, especially in healthcare, and must be addressed @PennMedicine.
