As a huge wave of the darkest antisemitic hatred crashes across the land, including calls for the mass murder of Jews, what is the "anti-racist" group "Hope not Hate" really worked up about?

Matthew Parris. 1/6

"Friends of Al Aqsa" is at the heart of the ugly agitation we are seeing, just as it has long been.

It is dedicated to fanatical hatred of Israel and promoting antisemites. Its founder and leader, Ismail Patel, is a fan of Hamas. Up the "anti-racist" street, right?

Oh. 2/6

Indeed, Hamas has built up an extensive UK support network since the 1990s. Journalists have covered it and counter-extremism activists have challenged it for years. It is one of the roots of Labour's ruin.

Going by their website, "Hope not Hate" hasn't even mentioned it. 3/6

The "Palestinian Forum in Britain" is another player behind today's ugly scenes. Israel=Nazis.

It used to bring some of the Middle East's very worst hate preachers to Britain before the Government banned them, with encouragement from activists, including Muslims.

Ah, I see. 4/6

Well, this is an outfit that was "delighted" to appoint Kevin Courtney of the NEU as a patron to its "HOPE Education Fund". One couldn't ask for a better friend for Islamists. He's with them all the way, even in defiance of Birmingham's Labour council. 5/6

If you are seriously concerned about racism in the UK, including antisemitism, know your true allies and your fair weather friends. 6/6

Step into surreal Bradford politics.

The council has about as much leverage over Middle East politics as Mickey Mouse. But they love to whinge about it, wasting yet more time last week.

Susan Hinchcliffe, the Labour council leader, had quite a bit to say.

"Islamophobia!" 1/6

Israel is facing racist terrorists bent on genocide for the Jews. She says the country should be left defenceless.

Hamas and the hostages? She had nothing to say.

She did say she "fights" antisemitism. OK, what, pray tell, has Bradford Labour done about hate preaching? 2/6

Is the answer "nothing"? When it is rife, disgusting, and dangerous in the city?

Jews “twist the words of God”. “Never take the word of the Jews.” Jihad is “right” and "moral". But wait, the atrocities? No, here too, Jews lie.

There's no end of this poison in Bradford. 3/6

Birmingham is blessed today by the presence of the famous and wonderful Viceroy of Cairo.

Here come the Nazi slurs.

"Antisemitism means whatever I want it to mean. So Israel is really, really antisemitic."

Let's invoke the Holocaust, to abuse its memory.

"Their God is money" you know.

The deranged hate preacher Asrar Rashid wants to speak up for "armed struggle" and "jihad".

They should fight Israel, that "banker state". The "bankers" control our Prime Ministers, you know.

Bad, bad Arab states! Britain's true Muslims reject them, oh yes.

Raising the next generation in Blackburn. The kids have to learn the slogans, you know.

The evergreen "river to the sea" call for Israel's annihilation.

"BAE, shut it down!" BAE is the UK's top defence company. It has a plant near Blackburn. Creeps abuse it all the time. 1/5

"The Zionist entity, shut it down!" No, you can't say the bad "I" word, little ones.

Indeed, "the whole damned system" must go.

On to Yemen. Salute the death cult Houthi terrorists! Heroes!

"We don't want no two states, we want 1948!" This is another annihilation cry. 2/5

This is truly dire. The Houthis have wrecked their own country and crushed their people.

They abduct UN aid workers, turn children into soldiers, and sentence gay men to death by crucifixion.

So, perhaps the local MP could look into this? 3/5

Last weekend, "Light Upon Light" conferences were held in London and Birmingham. "Blight Upon Blight" would be better. Both lengthy events focused almost exclusively on Israel.

Calls for peace? No. Prayers for a "Palestinian victory". Here's Yaha Raaby. With Hamas on its... 1/8

...knees and Gaza in misery as the terrorists take to torturing and murdering their own people.

The delusion is remarkable and disturbing.

Here's another plea, this time from Ali Hammuda. 2/8

Hammuda is a fever dreamer. He really does believe that ultimate victory is assured and that "the Zionist superstructure is collapsing". Prepare for a “post-Zionism era”.

And reject modernity! 3/8

"We stand together now - against hate"

Do we? May I suggest the Prime Minister take a look at his own constituency last Saturday?

The triangle gesture means "I back Hamas". Yes, abductions, rape, torture, and mass murder of Jews. Just for being Jews. That's what they like. 1/6

There is a problem with crime, by the way. That is Eran Cohen of the CWU trade union, the day *after* the racist vandal group "Palestine Action" was proscribed. 2/6

Gross conspiracy theories once the preserve of the racist far right are popular among "progressives" these days.

And yes, you are a target. 3/6

Camden Council insists the borough is “no place for hate”.

Judge for yourself. See the frantic “Palestine Solidarity Campaign” hate parade yesterday.

"We free our land! We kick the Zios out, out, out!"

"Zio" is a derogatory term popularised by the American far right. 1/8
