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

Seeking to inspire his Luton audience on Christmas Day, Abu Bakr Zoud turns to stoning.

A married woman confesses to adultery, telling the prophet of Islam she is also pregnant. She is told to go away and have the child and wean it.

And then? Come back to be murdered. 1/8

https://twitter.com/habibi_uk/status/2003589906686521760

Remember to preserve her modesty for stoning! Then Zoud presents her as a supreme exemplar of repentance in Islam. What can one say?

This event was part of a tour taking in several locations. "Light Upon Light" is a venture backed by Eman Channel, a licensed broadcaster. 2/8

You will not be surprised to learn that Israel came up again and again on the tour.

This one in Manchester is so stupid it is funny. Ali Hammuda, an extremist preacher from Wales, thinks some sheikhs are controlled by "handlers" at the pro-Israel US lobby group AIPAC. 3/8

The Labour MP Nadia Whittome calls for Egypt to be punished, on behalf of the extremist hater Alaa Abd el-Fattah. June 2025.

Who did she have for company? 1/9

The Labour MP Richard Burgon. Well, el-Fattah is in the UK now. So is Burgon "celebrating" with him?

The Green MPs Carla Denyer and Sian Berry also joined this vigil for el-Fattah. So did the Liberal Democrat MP Calum Miller. 2/9

And here comes Israel. A member of the "Palestinian Youth Movement", a nasty extremist group, spoke at this event, invoking el-Fattah for the cause. Fight Zionism! Invade the Israeli embassy!

Egypt can't have democracy at all if Israel simply exists, you know. 3/9

The creeps who do this, over and over again, are a relatively small set of people with known ringleaders. The police should be much tougher on them. They will not stop until they are stopped.

Donal Lennon, for example, shown here with a megaphone. He is a racist thug from Margate who runs the "Thanet 4 Palestine" hate group.

Take them down. Every single time. Remand them in custody wherever you can. That is the only way to deal with them.

"Allah is coming for you." Because you're in a Starbucks? This chap's God seems very stupid and nasty. No thanks.

Businesses tend to be allergic to politics. They hope it will all blow over. No, it won't. Do the right thing by your customers and staff. Stand up to the thugs.

People fight and die for democracy. Fools! They have been tricked by Satan!

A pearl from Abu Bakr Zoud. He rejects the West. Secularism, atheism, feminism, and much more? No! The only guide to life is events in 7th Century Arabia.

If the West is so awful, why not leave? 1/6

https://twitter.com/habibi_uk/status/2003234170131411290

Have no pride in modernity. None at all. We are no better than idol worshippers, you see. Foolish liberals. Bad liberals! Beware the feminists. And even philosophy!

Essentially, there is no such thing as progress. 2/6

Your family are traditional followers of Christianity? You too are worthless. Like a plastic bag full of air that deflates with a mere poke. Very easy! 3/6

One for all the MPs backing the campaign for racist vandals. What do they want? To "slam down Parliament". "We will shut it down for Palestine, for the hunger strikers." London, last night. 1/4

On to what is perhaps the most lurid lie of all. There is no credible evidence whatsoever for this allegation. But you will hear it frequently in the hatred movement. 2/4

Back to Parliament. They want to "break it all down". In the name of democracy, you see. 3/4

Another death cult preacher is the last thing Britain needs. But that is just what it will get in the shape of the Australian Belal Assad, due to appear at an extremist mosque in Crawley this Friday and an event in Luton on Sunday.

Know the sordid thinking. Don't even... 1/9

...bother to worry about military balances or support. Just fight. Either you secure victory or you achieve glorious martyrdom and go to Paradise. Win win!

In this talk, he went on to hail Gazans as exemplars of the faith for their "bravery, courage, and resistance". 2/9

What does he want? "Victory", of course.

Think about how appalling this is. Victory, not peace. For Hamas! "Stop and oppose their enemies, stop them in their tracks."

He adds a paranoid line about information being "censored". 3/9
