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

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

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 Image
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

“The Muslim Vote”, an Islamist pressure group, is rightly coming under critical scrutiny.

Lesser known is a closely linked “Arab Voice” political influence campaign. It is led by the Hamas fan Adnan Hmidan.

See him justify the 7 October atrocities just after they happened. 1/8
"People remember the occupation is what started the war, not the resistance in Gaza.”

“It’s natural that there is a response, that the resistance starts liberating the occupied lands.”

“And it’s normal that they're running away. If it was their land, then they wouldn’t.” 2/8 Image
Hmidan also appeared on an Arab TV channel on the fateful day.

“What is happening now is a legitimate right to self-defence.”

“Occupation is the legitimisation of resistance.”

He's interviewed here with Majed al-Zeer, a key Hamas Europe leader. 3/8

On 8 October, all of us could see the hideous crimes of Hamas.

In Birmingham, some reacted to the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust with joy, expressed at a protest *against* Israel before it had even counted its dead.

“I am very happy, I am very happy!” 1/6
This man spoke for the Muslim Association of Britain, a nasty Islamist outfit that organises the hate marches.

He got an early start.

“We are gathered today in solidarity with the right to resist." "We are supporting any human being trying to resist.” 2/6
“Thanks be to God! It’s victory! We should be celebrating!”

“They have the right to fight back!” 3/6
