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
There are no excuses for poor policing when it comes to Maher Hajjaj of “Palestine Pulse”, a hate group. He led last night’s awful protest outside a London synagogue, where he insisted Israeli Jews must “go home” and railed about “Jewish supremacy”.
He has no end of form. 1/9
Burning hatred is his calling. Here he is at the racist rally for terrorists at Villa Park in Birmingham.
"Zionists are not welcome here!" "Death to the IDF!" 2/9
Terrorists are his heroes. He is "with the resistance", you see. "We will fight." Israel must go, of course. 3/9
The rot at West Midlands Police, laid humiliatingly bare. The force should be in special measures. It does the bidding of extremists. The truth be damned. This is a shocking article. 1/6
"Well, the Dutch said..." was the WMP argument. No. This is what the Dutch say. 2/6
A shocking detail. This evidence could easily be found, on video. 3/6
You're close to cracking a complex topic in Edinburgh University's library. Just a bit more concentration.
No! The comrades want to shout for terrorism, ethnic cleansing, and Israel's annihilation.
British universities have so much to do if they want to reclaim the academy from 21st Century brownshirts.
A simple Christmas celebration at Edinburgh University? No! None shall have joy! Everything must be ruined!
Destroy Israel!
Is Palestine Free yet?
You've worked so hard for your degree at Edinburgh. Your parents beam when your big achievement is recognised. Will you and your family be allowed to enjoy the moment, undisturbed?
How much racist abuse will universities put up with? Is there no limit?
Today, the persecution of an Israeli professor at City University in London continued. With servants of the Iranian regime in the mix.
Meet frothing Ibrahim Abul-Essad, one of the ringleaders. 1/8
He is a notorious extremist. Hatred is all he has. And I don't think he is even a student at City. But he has decided there will be "no Zionists" there. 2/8
And who is this? Raza Kazim of the self-styled "Islamic Human Rights Commission", which serves Iranian regime propaganda causes and loves terrorists. He also loves Nazi slurs.
The head of the IHRC, Massoud Shadjareh, also joined the rabble today.
Cranks want to be arrested in November for the cause of "Palestine Action", a racist vandal rabble and now a proscribed terrorist group. Know their cause.
One "attacked them, going so far as to strike a female officer, Sgt Kate Evans, across the back with his sledgehammer...1/6
...while she was on the floor, facing away from him."
"Having hit her once, he raised the sledgehammer again and hit her with it a second time."
"She screamed in pain as she felt the force of the blows."
The lads at the Aston Villa Israel hatred rally are unhappy about being told to go home. By protest organisers.
That’s Arif Mahmood of the "Activist Independent Movement" (AIM) pleading with the rabble. AIM organises antisemitic rallies Birmingham.
The response is frank. 1/4
Well, the lads had been fired up, so to speak. See the Islamic chants give way to joyful cheers as a firework launched from the crowd hits the other side.
This was a "peaceful" protest, of course, according to West Midlands Police.

Poor Arif didn't have much success. He was even accused of working for the police by some brothers.
