BREAKING NEWS: Reports of a stabbing of a #Jewish man in Stamford Hill, with an ongoing investigation as to whether it was motivated by #antisemitic hatred. We are monitoring the situation closely and have the victim in our thoughts. We will provide further updates in due course.
UPDATE 1/3: Police say the Jewish victim is in his 50s and has been taken to hospital with stab wounds that are not life-threatening.
UPDATE 2/3: A suspect in his 40s, restrained by the public on Stoke Newington High Street, has also been taken to hospital with possible head injuries.
Campaign Against Antisemitism’s Demonstration and Event Monitoring Unit is at today’s “#AlQudsDay” parade. Already, demonstrators are chanting “From the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea, Palestine will be free”, a call for the destruction of the world’s one Jewish state.
Nearly 1,000 people are demonstrating. Our team has not yet spotted any Hizballah emblems which used to be pervasive at these parades but have now been banned under terrorism legislation. If anybody sees a Hizballah emblem, please contact the police or CAA.
We will be discussing some of the placards with our lawyers. They declare it is a “duty” to oppose Zionism and that Zionism is a “crime”. All peoples have the right to self-determination under Art. 1 of the UN charter, and Zionism simply supports self-determination for Jews too.
Crowds at @JeremyCorbyn-supported anti-Israel march attended by National Front leader cheer as speaker says Jewish organisations are “in the gutter” and “part of the problem” antisemitism.uk/crowds-at-corb…
Watch antisemitism-denial group @JVoiceLabour’s Secretary claiming:
• American Rabbis fuelled the neo-Nazis behind the Poway synagogue shooting
• Jews are “in the gutter” and embrace the EDL
• Jews reporting antisemitism “cry wolf”
• Jewish leaders are “part of the problem”
Antisemitism was on open display, including:
• “Israel provokes antisemitism” placard
• Pin badge of Star of David with a Nazi swastika in its midst
• Placard suggesting Israeli PM controls the BBC
• Chants and placards calling for destruction of the Jewish state
Mr Willsman should have no input whatsoever into decisions about antisemitism in the Party. Furthermore, he should be expelled for his appalling tirade accusing the Jewish community and its rabbinic leadership of conspiring to falsify or exaggerate antisemitism allegations.
Instead of investigating Mr Willsman, he has been exonerated by Labour’s General Secretary, Jennie Formby, who was reportedly satisfied with an apology. He is now standing for reelection to the NEC along with other candidates, including some who have defended Ken Livingstone.
.@EuanPhilipps from @LabourAgainstAS: “They're trying to shift the goalposts again and make it easier for antisemites to stay in @UKLabour...It’s the politics of the 1930s.”
Theresa Villiers MP: “I find it truly astonishing that @UKLabour is ignoring the widely-held definition of antisemitism because it believes it knows best.”
