Hate crimes against Jews have not only soared in the US and Canada, but in England too.
In England altogether, antisemitic incidents more than doubled in 2023 compared to 2022.
Seen in London |
There have been anti-Israel protests in London weekly since October 7, some drawing tens of thousands of people spewing hate and lies about Israel and supporting antisemitic groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.
At this point, isn't it a little disingenuous to deny the connection between anti-Zionism and antisemitism?
And given that there are over 1.3 million Muslims in London,many of whom join these protests, isn't it even more disingenuous to deny the link between Muslim "anti-Zionism" and antisemitism?
Unlike some other police, I could not find where the London police describe the perpetrators of the hate crimes when caught. But chances are pretty good that a decent percentage are Muslim.
In the end, it is all hate, not support for Palestinians, that animates these demonstrations - and that hate is indistinguishable from the hate that is behind antisemitism.
