Prince Harry: Rising antisemitism in UK is deeply troubling
The Times ^ | May 14, 2026 | Fiona Hamilton

Posted on 05/14/2026 12:03:42 AM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

The Duke of Sussex has spoken out against the rising tide of antisemitism while criticising Israel for acting “without accountability and in ways that raise serious questions under international humanitarian law”.

Harry said that British Jews had experienced hostility and violence because concerns about Gaza and wider conflict in the Middle East had become “dangerously conflated” with their communities...

In an essay for The New Statesman, Harry wrote: “We cannot ignore a difficult truth: when states act without accountability, and in ways that raise serious questions under international humanitarian law, criticism is both legitimate, necessary and essential in any democracy. The consequences do not remain contained within borders. They reverberate outward, shaping perception, inflaming tensions.”

Harry, who also detailed his concerns about rising anti-Muslim sentiment, said he was speaking out because staying silent would allow “hatred and extremism to flourish unchecked”. ...

Harry apologised in 2005 when he was photographed wearing a Nazi costume at a friend’s birthday party, something he has since described as “one of the biggest mistakes of my life”.

He wrote in the article: “I am acutely aware of my own past mistakes — thoughtless actions for which I have apologised, taken responsibility and learnt from. That experience informs my conviction that clarity matters now more than ever, at a time when confusion and the distortion of truth are doing real harm — even when speaking plainly is not without consequence. It requires responsibility from all of us.”

Based on the headline, I thought Harry had somehow drifted into wisdom.

Then I kept reading (”his concerns about rising anti-Muslim sentiment”). Harry is still a fool.

Him:
““We cannot ignore a difficult truth: when states act without accountability, and in ways that raise serious questions under international humanitarian law, criticism is both legitimate, necessary and essential in any democracy. The consequences do not remain contained within borders. They reverberate outward, shaping perception, inflaming tensions.”

Me:
Presumably since he’s postured here acknowledging his “prior” mistakes” as a Britisher, he meant the UK — not USA. If however he meant by this circumlocation of virtue-seeking double-speak to criticize America in some back-handed way, he’s still neo-Nazi and needs a strong morality injection.

Did the cuck, who shouldn’t be in America, say this while in his Nazi costume?

If Harry had a serious thought, it would be lonesome. He’s quantum level dumb.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan don't want anything to do with the royal family, yet they use their royal titles with any chance they get... They don't want to be noticed or in the limelight, yet they want to be noticed in the limelight...

Harry... Do us all a favour... Keep your trap shut and go away.

Considering what you got up to in Jordan, Harry, you really don’t wanna go there...

Can’t wait for June.

If you have been using your visa to dodge income taxes on either or both sides of the pond, you two are screwed.

good for Harry- a stronger statement than i have seen from his Church of England - or any church, frankly. he made a stupid mistake - apologized- one doesn’t know of his relationship with his God,but Christianity does believe in redemption. and “Judge not lest ye be judged.”

He blamed his brother and sister-in-law, in print, for his decision to wear that getup.

Does that sound apologetic to you?

“the rising tide of antisemitism”. What would one expect when they turn the country into a little Pakistan?

I’m glad he made the statement. Put it in the category of a stopped clock being right twice a day. At this point in his life, he’s broke, married to a total b___ch who no longer has much use for him and has burned all bridges with his family / former meal ticket. And he’s too stupid and self-absorbed to dig his way out of that hole. Its a shame because when he was in the military, he was a lot of people’s favorite Royal.
