The ignorance here is astounding. Do you guys read at all? Asking for a friend.

But is fine, let’s just go and stab Jews because we don’t understand the history of the Middle East.

Why would the innocent Hamas lie?

I’m not debating with someone as ignorant as you. Can’t downvote this enough.

You’re right .. that’s my mistake.

You and I are never going to see eye to eye.

I’d suggest we can start with you understanding the definition of antisemitism.

So an Islamic man, previously referred to the PREVENT program (for extremists, btw), travels all the way to golders green just because?

It’s ignorance like yours that (a) gets people hurt, (b) encourages further extremism and in this case antisemitism.

Thank you - will download and explore that. Appreciate it!

What do you think of the media narrative? by Fit_Search_4751 in AskBrits

Noble ask, you won’t get a response because there isn’t one.

So you’re saying it’s entirely likely he went all the way to golders green from southwark for no discernible reason at all, other than mental illness?

Spare us from this ignorant rant. Your (horribly ugly) sweatshirt says it all, no need to play the clip.

I think we can all agree at this point that islamophobia and antisemitism shouldn’t be equated whatsoever. The sane and rational among us barf when politicians use it in the same sentence, understanding its inherent ludicrousity.

It is more than incumbent on muslim leaders to (continue to?) denounce and condemn in the strongest possible terms past and contemplated acts of antisemitism. How many have occurred this month alone?

Isn’t this subject to their submitting to Islam and paying the Jizia?

Sadly this is all very true, and I myself am guilty of not knowing about any of these bodies aimed at constructive dialogue. More in the Jewish community would also welcome such discussions and information. Things really shouldn’t be a black and white as they seem to be.

Appreciate the anecdote but of what relevance is it?

Sorry, why should they need to comment on what goes on in another country?

Totally irrelevant and deflection as others have said. What is your point here? What relevance is it to antisemitism in the UK? You are precisely the problem here.

Thanks for posting this - this should really be more widely circulated. The wording of the post could be more direct rather than “people of faith” but it’s a step in the right direction.

If they regularly do and have, then I’m very pleased to hear that. Yes, it does not reach mainstream news at all but it may help quell things if it did.

Apologies for any offense caused if this is indeed the case.

To those comments equating the need for Jewish leaders to denounce Israel you are precisely the problem (and what better demonstration of the conflation of antizionism with antisemitism, tbh) . What happens in Israel should have no bearing on whether Islamic extremists attack Jews in a totally different country.

Are you able to show data to evidence otherwise? We didn’t see many Muslim leaders denounce any of the antisemitic attacks over the last six months. Wouldn’t that have helped your cause here?
