The prime minister has called for protesters to “respect the grief of British Jews this week” after the Manchester synagogue attack.
Ahead of a planned demonstration against the ban on Palestine Action this Saturday, Keir Starmer wrote in the Jewish Chronicle that activists should recognise this is a time of mourning.
“Peaceful protest is a cornerstone of our democracy – and there is justified concern about the suffering in Gaza – but a minority have used these protests as a pretext for stoking antisemitic tropes,” he wrote.
“I urge anyone thinking about protesting this weekend to recognise and respect the grief of British Jews this week. This is a moment of mourning. It is not a time to stoke tension and cause further pain.”
However, those protesting against the ban on Palestine Action have said cancelling Saturday’s event would “let terror win”, amid pressure from police and the government to call it off after the attack in Manchester.
The home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, added her voice on Friday to calls to postpone the event, after police said they wanted to be able to focus their resources on protecting Jewish and Muslim communities. The Metropolitan police commissioner, Mark Rowley, said that continuing protests after the attack “will likely create further tensions and some might say lacks sensitivity”.
The organisers, Defend Our Juries, said in a statement on Friday that supporters, including many Jewish people, wanted the protest to go ahead. It expected 1,500 people, including priests, vicars, pensioners and others, to take part in the event, which would involve them peacefully sitting holding cardboard signs saying “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action”.

Starmer has proven with his crackdown on people’s posts on social media that he is tone deaf.
The guy is like a savant in tone deafness.
The”free Palestine” muslims have no respect for anyone except a false, twisted prophet.
The evil I can get over. But the rank stupidity......

The Neville Chamberlain is strong in this one.
“A tutorial in government weakness 101”
This: “focus their resources on protecting Jewish and Muslim communities.”
Mealy-mouthed weakness. The usual moral equivalence waiting for that legendary anti-Muslim backlash. No one is threatening or attacking Muslims.

This is analogous to “respecting” the decent folks in the US to grieve the senseless killing of Charlie Kirk. How did that work out? Ultimately, it is the same caliber of trash sub-humans in the UK and US responsible for the hatred.
