Here is a story about antisemitism on the British left.

Last May, Israel fought a brief war in the Gaza strip: over ten days they destroyed forty schools, four hospitals, and nearly a thousand buildings; they also snuffed out around 250 human lives. I went to a protest against the war in central London, not because I really thought it could change anything, but out of the usual obscure sense of duty and guilt. It was a fun day out. There were thousands of us there, filling up the streets; I kept running into people I knew.

Same strategy used by the establishment, refusing to hear the legitimate concern of parents, the primary educators

5000+ parents petitioned in 2014 warning of this Radical #RSE

Later volume of same No Outsiders project led to 2019 School Protests aka ‘Hateful Extremists’ Parents, mainly Muslims & Christian & some of no faith objected with legitimate concerns

No dialogue
Bear in mind, in 2019 Anderton Park HT said in an article that the word ‘consult’ (with parents) was inflammatory, so DfE guidelines = 🔥

Vicki Coppock and Mark McGovern

Abstract

Current British Government strategies to counter terrorism Image Current British Govt strategies to counter terrorism (exemplified in the #Prevent policy & #Channel programme) are based upon a problematic fusion of certain dominant explanatory models of the ‘causes of terrorism’ (specifically, ‘psychological vulnerability’ to ‘radicalisation’) Image

They wanted him to pose as a Muslim convert and infiltrate mosques throughout Southern California, home to an estimated half-million Muslims, a diverse set of Islamic worshippers living in shadows of Disneyland in sprawling Orange County. Monteilh spent the next 18 months secretly recording conversations with unsuspecting Muslims and providing intelligence back to the FBI about scores of men and women whose only apparent transgression was practicing their religion.

A central topic for both papers, as for the world in general, is Palestine, Israel, the Middle East.
The topic is said by Freedland himself to have been his specialty for some 20 years. I have read through 100 of his writings on the subject in the Guardian, the Jewish Chronicle and conclude that their content should worry the Guardian staff, its readers and his employer The Scott Trust.
His support for Israel is unbalanced, violates the Guardian’s commitment to liberalism and is rooted in an ethnocentricity that enables him to alternatively

It’s hard to decide where to begin – with the daily apartheid, from the Palestinian farmer who tried to protect himself and his property from settler thugs and now his hands are crushed, and he’s been detained for two weeks while the settler who hurt him walks free? With the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh, followed by the IDF’s lying attempts to shirk all responsibility for the despicable crime and to back the soldiers who shot her when they saw that she was a journalist?

As commander of the IDF paratrooper brigade, Halevi participated in the 2008-massacre in Gaza which Israel refers to as “Operation Cast Lead.”
It was an unprecedented assault against a defenseless civilian population; close to 1500 people were killed Image Thousands more were injured and an estimated twenty thousand people were made homeless.

The assault ended the day before Barack Obama was sworn in as President of the United States. Obama did not condemn the assault or the killing of civilians.
