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

On Monday, Ricky Southall and Umza Bashir were charged with malicious mischief at Ayr Sheriff Court. They were allegedly among the attackers of a golf course owned by Donald Trump.

Admire their "Palestine Action" eloquence.

But where do they come from, what's their story? 1/5

Both are "Palestine Solidarity Campaign" Leeds hate marchers.

Meet snarling Ricky. He is at the forefront of a rabble abusing people on a march against antisemitism last June. Yes, you read that correctly.

"You're all Nazis!" "Scum!" 2/5

It was a hideous day. A heavy police presence was needed to contain the haters. A number of CST guards were also active. You can read more about it here. This is the Leeds where burning hatred flourishes. 3/5

"Israeli products are being sold openly in our stores!" Oh, the horror!

Hassling businesses is the big new thing for the haters of the "Palestine Solidarity Campaign". Armbands next time?

After their pathetic Ilford escapade, low-paid workers will clean up, of course.

Can't spell. Can hate.

These creeps went on a little tour yesterday, taking in Lidl, Tesco, Starbucks, and local businesses.

"Any Jew stuff in here?"

One of the problems is that some companies seem to think that if they just let the creeps have their tantrums everything will be fine. It's craven and stupid.

Recently, a Barclays branch in Cambridge took that to a whole new level.

"Let them shout. But hey, you, no filming!"

The battle of Khaybar is a touchstone for Islamist extremists. They celebrate the prophet and his army defeating and subjugating Jews. “Khaybar, oh Jews” is a notorious call to lethal hatred.

Now the battle is being whitewashed at King’s College London.

The Jews – cowards. 1/6

But they had wealth for Muslims to plunder, Abutorab Islam of “Muslims Reconnect” goes on to say.

Note the present tense. "The Jews, everybody knows, they have a lot of money. They have completely mastered the skill of making money." Oh, and cutting off water is fine in war. 2/6

The Jews were “absolutely demolished”, he then exults, thanking Allah.

Later, Abutorab Islam concludes with a death cult message.

“Anyone who fights in the way of Allah, whether you get killed or whether you win, for you it’s a great reward. As Muslims, we can never lose.” 3/6

Sophisticated academic discourse at the University of Glasgow. Isn't it just so admirable.

Such magnificent debating skills. Could the university give them some kind of special prize, please?

A hallmark of British extremism. More Hamas than Hamas. This ranting creep raises the already dodgy Hamas casualty statistics by a factor of seven. Universities that don't fight back hard against abusive extremists wrecking academic freedom don't deserve much respect, I'm afraid.

The joys of returning to your constituency. Adnan Hussain MP gets to join yet another anti-Israel rally in Blackburn last weekend.

But wait, who is he with? 1/3

Ah, "Blackburn 4 Palestine", the people who want to “shut down” BAE. They protest often at a key site of Britain’s top defence company near Blackburn. 2/3

“Globalise the intifada!”

Above all, this is a bid to disrupt the F-35 programme. The plant serves a score of Western countries buying the fighter jet, not just the UK.

Does Adnan Hussain MP want our country and our allies to be less secure? 3/3

The squalor of the academy – a SOAS episode.

On 6 March, the Hamas apologist Helena Cobban was invited to talk about her favourite terrorist group.

She was on form. Be a bit sad for her – she misses the fallen Hamas leader Haniyeh, a man she “respected”. 1/5

She's fond of Nazi slurs too. Out they came. The SOAS chair of the event nodded appreciatively. 2/5

Did you know that Hamas did not take civilian hostages? No? Learn from your betters.

But wait, why, then, did they hold, torture, and murder civilian hostages? Oh, don't be a pedantic bore. Are you a Zionist? 3/5
