Some Islamist and far-left activists would have you believe that Keir Starmer pulled out of a "Ramadan Tent" event merely because the group's founder and CEO Omar Salha calls for a boycott of Israeli dates. There's much more to it than that. But even the dates story is nasty. 1/8

A month ago, Salha promoted a boycott call by "Friends of Al Aqsa", a fanatical Israel hatred outfit headed up by Ismail Patel. It is no stranger to controversy, to say the least.

In 2017, Sajid Javid, then Communities Secretary, called it on its record. 2/8

Writing to Ismail Patel, he noted "concerns that your organisation and those connected with it have expressed public support for a proscribed organisation, namely Hamas, and that you have supported events at which Hamas and Hizballah – also proscribed – have been praised”. 3/8

Well, indeed. Patel is very keen on Hamas. So keen that his ugly arrogance makes him think he can decide who speaks for Jews. These are his words: 4/8

He is particularly fond of the Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. He has called him "proud and dignified" and said "Western leaders can neither match nor relate to Haniyeh's stature as a politician and a human being".

Here he is meeting his hero in Gaza. 5/8

Patel and "Friends of Al Aqsa" have long promoted some of the worst antisemites. Gilad Atzmon. Israel Shamir. Roger Garaudy. Stephen Sizer. Khalid Amayreh. And, of course, the Bristol professor David Miller, whose "Spinwatch" venture bagged a £10,000 grant from Patel's group. 6/8

Nor was Salha's backing a one-off. "Palestine Expo" is another operation of Ismail Patel. It prompted Javid to speak up in 2017. Did Salha listen? Of course not. Here he is, "delighted" to be invited to speak at the event two years later. 7/8

Keir Starmer did the right thing. On this count alone. This kind of "new management" is just what the party needs. It is also exactly what a country scarred for years on end by by Islamist extremism and antisemitism deserves. 8/8

How’s this for a bid to “Free Palestine!”.

“Don’t think because you are a Jew you are better than the whole world. You are the scum of the world.”

Swiss Cottage, London, last night. This rabble assembles there every Friday to cause alarm and distress. 1/6

What did the police make of the abuse? Not much.

"If every person who has a bad opinion about whether it’s a colour of skin, whether it’s a religion, whether it’s a football team or anything. Now we’re not going to prosecute and arrest people, because people disagree.” 2/6

The rabble’s view on the police? "Gestapo tactics!" They show that "Zionism has corrupted all levels of British society".

This chap was upset to learn that calling for people to defy police orders can have consequences. He was arrested before last Saturday’s London protest. 3/6

Some still insist the anti-Israel protests are "peace marches" and bristle when people say they are rallies for terrorists.

So let's take a look at the record of the big "Palestine Solidarity Campaign" protests in London over the last year.

Is this a "peace activist"? 1/10

The red triangle above is a symbol of support for Hamas. It echoes their propaganda videos, where a triangle hovers above Israelis they are about to kill.

It is, well, all the rage of late at the London protests. Here are some more fashionable marchers.

Bring your kids! 2/10

The red triangle goes very well with flags. Or hate messages. "Beware of the deadly virus Israel-25", for example. Or just don one to show what a caring person you are, looking after the disabled and all that. 3/10

Would you chop off your daughter’s hand if she was a thief? The prophet of Islam said he would.

Horrifying? No! This shows the “true justice” of sharia law.

See how Umar Muqaddam vilified modern Western justice a few days ago at the Al-Rahma mosque in Leeds, a charity. 1/5

Chopping for one and all is superior, you see, to Western systems where outcomes depend on "who you are".

So, who does have a good justice system these days? The Taliban. Admire how "swift" they are. "Going back to sharia" is the way to see "justice in the land". 2/5

Here's another reason to like the Taliban. Just supporting capital punishment is not enough. The killing should be carried out in public. 3/5

Awful hate marches have disfigured London for months. So who wants to come out in support?

Six MPs who lost the Labour whip, five Labour MPs, Islamist MPs, and trade union leaders.

They are a disgrace but Labour and the left will not call them on it. 1/5
labouroutlook.org/2024/09/02/coa…

Look at the last big hate march in August alone. Yes, this man is making a Nazi salute to insult counter-protesters. Nazi abuse is very common at these protests. 2/5

If you support terrorists, you are most welcome. Bring a placard! 3/5

In February, Leicester Islamists staged one of the most overtly pro-Hamas protests I have ever seen in the UK.

Here, Asim Qureshi of Cage says Israel "cannot exist" and must be "resisted".

On the right, you will see Shockat Adam, now an MP. At a terror rally! 1/6

They held nothing back. See them marching on the day, chanting for Palestinian terrorists and cheering on the Houthis of Yemen. 2/6

This is the kind of scene where you will find the Islamist pressure group Mend, which Adam has worked for.

Here, its CEO urges the crowd to pray for a Palestinian “victory”, offers warm words to the ultra racist David Miller, and insists “you should be attacking Zionism”. 3/6

Iqbal Mohamed, the new MP for Dewsbury, thinks our “complicit” and merely “silent” leaders should be taken to court as “accessories to genocide”.

This is a titanic struggle for nothing less than “humanity” and “the whole of the world’s soul”. “Palestine is the world’s soul!” 1/5

Such lofty aspirations. But what about more practical steps?

Don’t vote for Zionists! This is "self-harming", you see. 2/5

And search your homes! Anything Israeli or "Zionist", throw it out!

Tell your kids too. Even candy shops can be dangerous.

This speech earned Mohamed a round of "river to the sea" chants for Israel's annihilation. Now there's a mark of true appreciation. 3/5
