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

No low is too low for the "Palestine Solidarity Campaign". Tadhg Hickey is an off the charts extremist hater who backs terrorists.
Neturei Karta is a tiny, nasty, and reviled sect aligned with the Iranian regime. A stain, not a fig leaf.
Louise Regan is Chair of the PSC. 1/8
"Of course black people face racism! What do they expect when black men commit so many crimes? Come on!"
That's what this is, but addressed to Jews, in the context of terrorist attacks against them. By the way, all Israelis are"genocidal", you know. 2/8
Hickey claims there that he doesn't support attacks on innocents. Yeah, right. See him at a Hamas UK meeting. Do not be "squeamish" about "the resistance". Do not "dehumanise" them by calling them terrorists. That would be so "Western".
The Agenda is littered by "waah we can't be hateful" motions. Here's just one of them. It is disgusting and pathetic. No, antisemites are not in trouble in the NHS. They thrive there.
Ordinary people don't want *any* politics in the NHS, whatever their own views may be. That the BMA is just another trade union with a shameful obsession is plain wrong. And disturbing.
So, who was up for abusing Jews in Edgware last Sunday? It's no surprise to find the vandal Layla Mohamed in their number.
She was not the only one. Here's Heba Muraisi at the Edgware hatred rally, sporting a red triangle, which means "I back Hamas". She faces charges for... 1/9
...the "Filton 25" attack on a defence plant in Bristol, where another raider attacked a police officer with a sledgehammer. At his sentencing at Woolwich, she joined "death!" chants with Qesser Zuhrah, another alleged vandal.
Catch Heba at Marxism 2026. Yay, violence! 2/9
Abdalla Alanzi also joined the Edgware rabble. The disgusting oaf is a hate march regular. Here he is at another protest in London, with the megaphone. "Death!" He currently faces charges for stirring up racial hatred with "intifada" chants outside the Ministry of Justice last December. 3/9
Yesterday's march on a synagogue in Edgware was an utterly disgusting spectacle. This short clip alone says so much. The triangle gesture, made here against Jews, in front of the police, means "I back Hamas". A sort of 21st Century Nazi salute.
And the man in the white top? 1/9
Abdallah Alanzi, charged in January with stirring up racial hatred with intifada chants at another protest. You'll find him at the ugliest rallies. Evidently, a brush with the law does not dissuade him.
More triangle goons at Edgware. A proper Hamas hatred crew. 2/9
The protest targeted an Israeli property event, ostensibly because land in the West Bank was offered. The organisers deny this. But it doesn't matter. These people want Israel itself to be destroyed. They made this clear over and over again. "Zionists out!"
Supporters of racist vandals gathered at Woolwich Crown Court last Friday as four miscreants were sentenced. That’s the home team. In the Middle East, terrorists are the heroes. "Death to the IDF!" "Intifada!" They are... 1/9
...blocking a van carting the vandals off to prison after sentencing.
This is - or should - serious. The Prime Minister has called for the prosecution of "intifada" chanters and the Metropolitan Police have promised action.
Another "intifada!" round. 2/9
There is no doubt whatsoever about where they stand. There were so many terror chants.
"Long live the resistance! Resistance is justified when people are occupied! Resistance is glorious, we will be victorious!" 3/9
The goons marching on a London synagogue today. The triangle gesture means "I back Hamas". Yes, the abduction, rape, torture, and mass murder of Jews is their cause.
The Prime Minister has said the infamous "river to the sea" chant is antisemitic. Well, yes, this is a racist rally in Edgware today, targeting a synagogue.
The goons are there to tell Jews - sorry, "the ugly face of Zionism" - what is allowed and what is not. "Judaism yes, Zionism no." That's Sue Sibany-King, a raging "Palestine Solidarity Campaign" racist.
