Chikli’s comments follow others by the UK’s Commissioner for Countering Extremism Robin Simcox, who said London became a “no-go zone for Jews every weekend” because of the attitudes and aggression on display at the weekly anti-Israel protests in Westminster. He said earlier this month: “Anti-Semitism skyrocketing… Protests [are] becoming ever more vociferous, with “from the river to the sea” beamed onto the side of Big Ben during a vote on Gaza.”
The Community Security Trust, a Jewish charity in the United Kingdom, said it has been told by many British Jews that they now avoid central London while demonstrations are taking place. A spokesman for the group said he was one of those who felt he couldn’t be in London’s capital because of the environment, saying: “I don’t go into town when there’s these demonstrations… We hear all about the right of protesters to demonstrate, but God forbid anybody say anything against them. Then you will find out about your freedom of speech.”
America’s hard left has always been anti-semitic.
Isn't DEI wonderful?
Pakistan...Bangladesh...and India.
If the world goes into total war and Israel ends up standing alone I hope they set aside one nuclear missile for London.
London is antisemitic? You don’t say.
Why, next thing ya know, they may elect a Muslim mayor.
Oh wait.
Such a mystery. What, in London, could possibly be the source of anti-Semitism? Must be those prejudiced Brits.
Or could it be the religion of hate and pieces? Nah, must be those Brits. Now, what kind of idiotic idea was it to bring haters to town?
Antisemitism in European cities is reaching 1930s levels and London is the worst of them all, an Israeli government minister says, warning of mass migration, radicalisation, and the hard left coming together and “serious consequences” for inaction.
The growth of antisemitism in Britain is “terrifying”, says Israeli government figure Amichai Chikli, who warns freedom of speech is being extinguished in the old “beacon of light and democracy”. “Wokeism”-infected London is now the “most antisemitic place in the West”, the Diaspora and Antisemitism Minister said, counselling the United Kingdom and other Western nations to take another look at their open borders polities and soft-touch approach to extremism.
London has become particularly hard-hit by hate, Chikli said, because the “radicalised Islamist” minority has coalesced with the hard left, reports The Jewish Chronicle. He told a meeting of visiting European journalists in Israel:
“The anti-Semitism we see today in the West is the worst since the 1930s and it is because of a ‘red and green’ alliance – the combination of the radical Left and the radical Islam groups that work together.”
BTTT
Looks like New York is going to have to try harder
