ANTISEMITISM, INTIMIDATION AND VIOLENCE IN BRITISH POLITICS
An Aish.com exclusive interview with British MP Michael Freer who is resigning due to fearful antisemitic, anti-Israel violence.

by Dr. Yvette Alt Miller
March 3, 2024
12 min read
An Aish.com exclusive interview with British MP Michael Freer who is resigning due to fearful antisemitic, anti-Israel violence.

“Someone is coming to kill you.” Those are the words of British MP Michael Freer, in an Aish.com exclusive interview, and they describe the fear he has as a pro-Israel politician today, and the reason he’s made the wrenching decision to step down from politics after 14 years representing Finchley and Golders Green, a heavy Jewish area in Northwest London.

Freer entered Parliament in 2010 after a career in finance and local politics. Though he is not Jewish, he is a staunch supporter of Israel and joined the Conservative Friends of Israel parliamentary group, which promotes closer ties between the United Kingdom and the Jewish state. Freer believes his support for close commercial, cultural, and political relations with Israel are unremarkable: “Most voters remain the same” in their support for Israel,” he explains. He was re-elected to Parliament in 2015, 2017, and 2019. Now, fear is pushing him out.

Close Calls
Twice in the past three years, Freer has been violently targeted.

On October 15, 2021, Ali Harbi Ali, a young London-born ISIS supporter, paid a visit to MP David Amess. Amess represented the southern English constituency Southend West and - like Freer - was also a member of Conservative Friends of Israel. Amess was meeting his constituents in a church on England’s south coast. Ali patiently waited for his turn to speak with Amess, then pulled out a knife and stabbed the 69-year-old MP 21 times.

The shocking murder shook British politics, but criticism of Ali in some corners of Britain was tinged with admiration. (The influential British newspaper The Guardian, for instance, insisted on calling Ali, who’d dropped out of college, an “academic high flier” who merely “fell” into extremism in its coverage.) For Michael Freer, his colleague’s murder contained an extra element of terror: reviewing his own visitor logs, Freer discovered that a month before Ali murdered David Amess, he had sought out a meeting with Freer, and had come armed with a knife, intending to kill him.

“He’d been to Finchley several times,” Freer later explained. “He told the police that he’d come to Finchley on 21 September 2021 - I remember the date vividly - armed with the intention to harm. And purely by a stroke of luck, the night before, (former Prime Minister) Boris Johnson had moved me from the whips’ office to courts and equalities. Otherwise I would have been in Finchley and probably attacked.”

Freer’s second brush with violence came just weeks ago. “Then, on Christmas Eve,” Freer continues, “there was the arson attack.” On December 24, 2023, at 7pm, 42-year-old Paul Harwood and 32-year-old Zara Karsory set fire to Freer’s constituency office. They sent an email asserting that Freer is “the kind of person who deserved to be set alight,” though they did not name Israel as their motivation in targeting Freer. Freer later revealed that in addition to these two harrowing incidents, he’s experienced about another dozen “very threatening” episodes, including “Molotov cocktails left on the doorstep, and notes left on the car… And on top of that, routine vandalism. Some of the incidents have been very threatening.”

Freer was forced to alter his home, installing bulletproof windows, security lighting, and panic buttons in every room. When he attends public events, he now wears a stab-proof vest. After years of taking these extreme precautions, the stress has become too much. He will not contest his seat at the next General Election and will retire from politics. Freer notes that while many issues in Britain have become incredibly divisive, he believes it’s his pro-Israel views and the fact that he represents a constituency with a large Jewish community which is singling him out for attack. “I can’t draw any other conclusion,” he said. “The level of abuse I get standing up for my constituents on antisemitism and on Israel has to be a factor.”

“Aggressive and Intimidating”
Each Saturday, central London - and often other British cities as well - hosts a massive anti-Israel march, organized by Britain’s Palestinian Solidarity Campaign (PSC). In one February 2024 post, the PSC estimated that a quarter of a million people demonstrated against Israel in London alone, and posted a video showing people holding banners reading “From the River to the Sea” and shouting “Israel is a terrorist state.” Freer singles out the PSC as a major source of the escalation in dangerous rhetoric in British politics: “Their tactics are particularly aggressive and intimidating.”

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said that the protests “had descended into intimidation, threats and planned acts of violence,” insisting that the time has come to battle extremist forces as he warned “democracy itself is a target.”

He points to a recent event in Parliament that shook the nation. On February 21, 2023, Britain’s political parties debated calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. The debate was highly charged, and Sir Lindsay Hoyle, the speaker of the House of Commons, broke tradition, allowing MPs to vote in a way that previously had never been allowed.

Rally on October 14, in London

The rules of the UK’s Parliamentary debates are arcane, but Sir Lindsay’s intervention shocked the country. Sir Lindsay later explained he’d abandoned centuries of precedent due to a shocking fact: MPs are routinely received threats for not being sufficiently critical of Israel now, and Sir Lindsay was terrified of what might happen to MPs who were deemed insufficiently hostile to the Jewish state during the February 21 vote. As the highly charged debate was taking place in Parliament, the PSC projected the words “From the River to the Sea” onto the facade of Big Ben, London’s best-known icon, next door. Sir Lindsay said that he feared for MPs’ safety should he not intervene to alter the rules for parliamentary debate and voting. “I never want to pick up the phone to find a friend has been murdered by terrorists,” he said.

This turning point confirmed Freer’s decision to leave politics. “MPs are particularly agitated about what this means for our security. Protestors are standing outside MPs offices, MPs homes, chanting and demonstrating. It only takes one to go on to do criminal damage.” He also pointed to a February 23, 2023 incident in the English town of Stoke on Trent, when anti-Israel protesters broke into a private Conservative Party fundraising event, abusing attendees there for supporting Israel. “If this remains a permanent change to the way people demonstrate, I don’t know where this will lead British politics,” Freer cautions.

He observes that the “change of tactics” regarding anti-Israel protests “is quite coordinated,” with different anti-Israel groups seemingly employing the same methods. Asked if he believed that foreign groups are working with British anti-Israel protesters to help coordinate activities, Freer notes, “That’s a very good question.”

Pervasive Antisemitism
In the days since Freer announced he is leaving politics, many other British MPs have said they’re being harassed and abused by anti-Israel activists, too. Dame Margaret Hodge, a former MP and now member of the upper Parliamentary chamber the House of Lords, revealed that plainclothes police officers now escort her everywhere in public. “Every time something happens (in Israel), there’s been a spike (of antisemitism in Britain) but this has gone on and on….”

The British newspaper Jewish Chronicle recently interviewed several MPs, many of whom declined to provide their names, who shared some of the vile antisemitic emails and letters they’ve received, threatening them and their children, calling them subhuman, expressing hatred for Jews, and promising violence.

MP Michael Freer

Steve McGabe, an MP from Birmingham from the Labour Party, is the Parliamentary Chair of the Labour Friends of Israel group. He’s shared that since Hamas’ deadly October 7 attacks and the flood of antisemitism around the world the attacks unleashed, his weekly meetings with constituents have been picketed by anti-Israel protestors shouting “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” widely seen as a call to eradicate Israel. In January, McGabe canceled an annual social event for his supporters out of fear of anti-Israel violence.
After returning to England from a recent visit to Israel, Percy realized he’d felt safer in Israel at war than he did in peacetime England.

Andrew Percy, a Jewish MP who represents the northern English constituency Brigg and Goole, revealed that he faces pervasive antisemitic abuse in his district. “One woman called me f**ing Israeli scum, hit my arm, then said now she would have to wash herself because she had touched me,” he recalled. He regularly receives hate mail threatening his children, telling him he should move to Israel, saying “no one cares about the Jews,” calling him a “Zionist” as an insult, and expressing the hope that he will “burn in Hell”. He has stopped passing these letters to the police, he says, as “there’s nothing they can do.” After returning to England from a recent visit to Israel, Percy realized he’d felt safer in Israel at war than he did in peacetime England.

Getting Worse
Michael Freer is confident that the paroxysm of anti-Israel hatred coursing through Britain today will subside. “The level of aggressive opposition to Israel ebbs and flows,” he’s observed through the years. Yet today’s hatred on social media, and anti-Israel activists’ targeting MPs’ families, feels different. “The impact of social media has never been more corrupting,” Freer notes. He’s seeing activists “pushing for ever more radical language and intimidation in British politics.” Groups like the PSC “have pushed for ever more radical language and intimidation in British politics.”

Protesting in front of “offices and in front of Parliament” has always been a “legitimate” form of political protest in Britain, Freer explains. “But now protestors are standing outside MPs homes. Targeting your family has always been beyond the pale.” No more. He fears another violent attack if protesters continue to push the bounds of what is seen as acceptable and legal.

Freer announced his intention to leave politics on January 31, 2024. Four weeks later, on February 29, Britain’s Parliament gained its newest MP: George Galloway, a virulently anti-Israel demagogue, who won a special election in the northern English constituency of Rochdale. “This is for Gaza,” Galloway declared in his victory speech.
George Galloway; It is not just Jews who need to be worried.

Galloway has a long and radical history, having served in Parliament for decades. Sometimes dubbed Parliament’s “Member from Baghdad,” Galloway’s victory is a frightening harbinger of even more radical voices within Britain’s establishment and political discourse where Israel is concerned.

Galloway ran on a single-issue candidate, criticizing Britain’s mainstream political parties for not being sufficiently anti-Israel. He won over 40% of the vote in a three-way race, gaining backing from Rochdale’s large Muslim minority as well as from non-Muslim voters.
His extreme past was no hindrance. During Israel’s 2006 war with the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, Galloway openly sided with Hezbollah, exulting “I glorify the Hezbollah national resistance movement.” In 2009 Galloway visited Gaza and received a passport from Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. In 2014, Galloway declared the city of Bradford, which he represented in Parliament, “an Israel-free zone,” saying: “We don’t want any Israeli goods, we don’t want any Israeli services, we don’t want any Israeli academics coming to the university or the college, we don’t even want any Israeli tourists to come to Bradford…We reject this illegal, barbarous, savage state that calls itself Israel.”
Galloway leaned into his hateful remarks during his recent campaign and was rewarded with a seat in Parliament, riding a tide of anti-Israel hatred that’s washing over far too much of Britain today.
Spiking Antisemitism
In mid-February, Britain’s Community Security Trust (CST), which monitors antisemitism, released figures showing that 2023 saw the most antisemitic incidents since reporting began, topping even the huge spike in antisemitism that Britain experienced during the Covid pandemic of 2021. In 2023, people reported 4,103 cases of anti-Jewish hate in the UK. It was a 147% rise from 2022 and an 81% rise since 2021. The vast majority of incidents were reported in the aftermath of Hamas’ October 7, 2023 attack on Israel.

The change in atmosphere is impacting Britain’s Jews.
“Everyone will say they are tired, emotionally drained and grieving,” explains Barbara, a Jewish woman in her 60s living in a heavily Jewish area of suburban London, speaking to Aish.com. She and her friends are “worried, mentally exhausted from the constant explanations of Israel’s actions and wondering why their non-Jewish friends and colleagues are silent. I worry about whether it will be safe to continue living here. I am angry a lot of the time.”

“There are marches every weekend” in central London, explains Yehoshua, a 48-year-old father and writer living in Michael Freer’s constituency in northwest London. “It’s very intimidating just knowing that’s going on.” He was shocked to see anti-Israel graffiti on Golders Green High Street, a major thoroughfare through a highly Jewish neighborhood in London, on the morning immediately after Hamas’ deadly October 7 assault.

Michael Freer recognizes the distress the Jews in his district are feeling. “My constituents don’t want to go into central London on Saturdays. If they do go into central London, they will not wear anything identifying them as Jews.” Despite the precarious state of British politics, Freer is optimistic that things will get better. Sadly, he will soon no longer be in Parliament to help effect change. “I’ll have to find a different platform to show my support for Israel,” he explains. His thousands of Jewish constituents fervently hope that he continues to speak out on their behalf and against the rising hate that is distorting British politics and life.

Shalom! After an extended period of being rooted to terra firma, I am back in the air. Soon, I will be in London. “Amir, my friend, you said 2024 is for staying in Israel! No travel!” That is true – or, at least, true-ish. What I said was that I will not be traveling to speak in 2024. And, while I will be speaking while in London, I will not be “speaking” speaking. Confused enough?

I am actually on my way to London to record the audiobook for Discovering Daniel. I am so excited about this book! Who knew that the life of an Old Testament prophet could be so relevant and applicable to our time today? Discovering Daniel breathes new life into the old Sunday School stories and explains in an easy and understandable way the visions and dreams this man of God receives. We’re just a little more than two months away from the book’s release, so preorder your copy of Discovering Daniel today!

While you have your computer booted up or your phone in your hand to read this newsletter, let me encourage you also to check out the three short videos I’ve released talking about Palestine. In just two-to-three minutes each, “Make Gaza Great Again?”, “Should Palestine Be Free From the River to the Sea?”, and “Who are the Palestinians?” confront the party line narrative with historical and political truth. Watch them and share them with your friends and family before YouTube takes these important videos down.

Genesis 26:2-5
Then the LORD appeared to [Isaac] and said: “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land of which I shall tell you. Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your descendants I give all these lands, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father. And I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give to your descendants all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”


The Middle East

My Telegram Channel is a constant flow of news throughout the day. Subscribe to my channel to catch all the headlines as they happen.
Gaza
Let me reset the table before we begin this section. There are still 134 abductees in Gaza, which include four who have been there since 2014. For those of you doing the math, that’s a full decade in captivity. With the announcement of the death of 19-year-old Sgt. Oz Daniel, the number of confirmed dead among the hostages has risen to 33. Hamas needs to understand that there will be no peace until our hostages have been returned home.

As part of the preparation for the invasion of Rafah in southernmost Gaza, Head of Shin Bet Ronen Bar and Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi visited Cairo. The Egyptian government has been concerned that military action in Rafah will push Palestinians into their country. In other words, the Egyptian Arabs want to make sure that none of the Palestinian Arabs cross the border. Why? Because they know the Palestinians and recognize that they bring trouble with them wherever they go. Former Jordanian King Hussein understood that truth and used his military to drive out all the militant Palestinian factions from his country. Bar and Halevi reassured the Cairo government that they needn’t be concerned.

Israeli citizens were once again reminded how dangerous tunnel warfare is when they were informed of the deaths of 25-year-old Maj. Iftah Shahar and 24-year-old Cpt. Itai Seif. A booby-trapped tunnel shaft exploded in Gaza killing the two officers and wounding ten more soldiers. As I’ve said before, never before in the history of warfare has a military been forced to conduct simultaneous above and below ground operations in the manner necessary in Gaza.

It seems that everyone in the world is desperate for a ceasefire, except Hamas and Israel. Excitement for a ceasefire began to stir again this past week, leading U.S. President Joe Biden to postulate that a deal could be signed as soon as Monday. But two days ago, Hamas said, “Yeah…no!” The two most disappointed by this are Biden, who needs peace in the Middle East before the upcoming elections, and the Gazan people, who are seeing prices for necessities skyrocket as Hamas steals goods and relief supplies for themselves.


Northern Front
The back and forth between Hezbollah and Israel in the north continues. A heavy barrage yesterday consisting of 40 rockets was launched toward northeastern Galilee and Kiryat Shmona. Most were intercepted or fell in unpopulated areas. However, one rocket landed on the roof of a three-story building but caused no casualties.

Two days prior, on Monday, IDF aircraft targeted a car driven by Hassan Hossein Salami, killing the man. The senior Hezbollah commander, who was in charge of the Hajir Sector, oversaw a number of terrorist plots carried out against IDF forces and Israeli civilians.

A building near Damascus used as headquarters for pro-Iranian militias was destroyed in an Israeli strike last night. Very powerful bombs dropped by IAF planes decimated the structure in the Saida Zeinab area, while a Syrian army facility in the south Damascus village of Hajira was also blown apart. Reports of casualties began to filter out as the fires burned late into the night.


Houthis
Last Tuesday, the Rubymar, a Belize-flagged cargo ship carrying fertilizer from the UAE to Belarus, was hit by a Houthi anti-ship missile while in the Red Sea. The resulting 18-mile oil slick became a natural disaster. The ship is now sinking. Before a senate subcommittee, US Special Envoy for Yemen Tim Lenderking testified that Iran was “equipping and facilitating” the Houthis in their attacks. The chairman of the committee reportedly replied, “No kidding, Tim. That Tsarfati guy has been saying that in his newsletter for months.” Well, maybe he didn’t. But he could have. The Houthis are just another of Iran’s proxy militias, just a little better funded and a lot more crazy. On Saturday, the U.S. and U.K. launched dozens of strikes against the terrorist group, targeting infrastructure and weapons.

The Houthis are targeting more than just ships. In the past months, four underwater communications cables are alleged to have been knocked out of working order. The cables, which run between Saudi Arabia and Djibouti, are a key link between Europe, Asia, and Africa. Repairs could take up to eight weeks.


Iran
Great news! Iran’s stockpile of military-grade, 60%-enriched uranium is decreasing! Wait, the report came from the International Atomic Energy Agency [IAEA]? Never mind. But I did read somewhere that no progress has been made lately on Iran’s nuclear project! So, at least that’s something! What? That came from the same report from the same autonomous division of the United Nations? Uh…okay, let’s just move on to the next story.


Abraham Accords
If you remember, recently I told you that the ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia are growing stronger. But for the relationship to progress, it has to be done quietly. On Monday at the World Trade Organization’s ministerial conference in Abu Dhabi, Israeli Economy Minister Nir Barkat approached Saudi Arabia’s Commerce Minister Majid bin Abdullah Al-Qasabi. The two shook hands and Barkat told his counterpart, “Israel is interested in peace with countries that seek peace, and we can make history together.” It was a cordial meeting. Unfortunately, it was recorded, and the video quickly went viral. Before you knew it, the Saudi government issued a statement saying that Qasabi was busy, talking to the Nigerian minister when “an unknown individual approached the minister to offer greetings.” Only later did he identify himself as a member of the “Israeli occupation government.” In the Middle East, appearance is everything.


Ministries

For those of you in Arizona and surrounding areas, we’d like to invite you to join Pastor Mike Golay, Pastor Barry Stagner, Pastor David Guzik, and Gary Kah for the Prophecy 24 Conference! In this one-day gathering on Saturday, April 13, Pastor Mike and the others will open up the Scriptures to address the days we’re living in and the hope that lies ahead. For more information and to register, follow this link!

Throughout history, empires have come and gone. What at one time seemed all-powerful eventually collapsed on itself. With each cycle of super-powers, it was possible to see the deterioration that eventually led to its demise. In my teaching, “The Decline of an Empire”, premiering Friday, March 1 at 12:00 PM PST, we will walk through what these indicators are, and compare them to what we are seeing today in America. Because the key to all Bible prophecy is the Jew, I’ll take time to explain how the health of an empire depends on its treatment of Israel. Finally, I’ll remind you how we as Christians have a higher allegiance than that given to our country and a much greater citizenship than what might be on the cover of our passports.

After the amazing success of our Alaska Cruise conference in 2023, we are preparing to take our teaching back on the water! For these opportunities, we will be presenting our Discovering Daniel & Revealing Conference in two very different venues. The first will be a cruise through the Mediterranean, which will take place from October 19-29, 2024. Our second opportunity to present these teachings will be on the waters of the Caribbean on January 18-25, 2025. Registration for both cruises is currently open! Make sure to register soon, as we anticipate these events to fill up quickly.

God is so good! CONNECT continues to come together and we are finally bringing on some necessary new staff in Israel. Thank you once again for your prayers and your support for CONNECT and this ministry. May God continue to bless you as you seek Him!

Awaiting His Return,

Are ‘Islamists in Charge of Britain’?
This week, British democracy ceased to operate by its own rules. The reason? To prevent its elected representatives from being violently hounded, if not killed, by Islamist mobs.
KONSTANTIN KISIN
FEB 23

“From the river to the sea” was projected onto London’s Big Ben this week. (Stills via @NiohBerg/X)
LONDON — Since October 7, there have been many dark days here in London. Every Saturday the streets are filled with demonstrators calling for the end of the state of Israel, several Jewish schools have had to close due to safety concerns, and the number of antisemitic incidents has gone through the roof. I have attended and documented a number of these protests, which on occasion have descended into violence, confrontations with police, antisemitic chanting, and even calls for jihad.

All bad, you might be thinking. And you’d be right. But they pale in comparison to what happened this past Wednesday, when the British Parliament, which has been around for 800 years, capitulated to fear of Islamist violence.

While the details of parliamentary proceedings in the UK will likely seem arcane and convoluted, especially to the American reader, bear with me for a paragraph or two because it’s important to understand why what just happened is so outrageous.

Wednesday was an Opposition Day in Parliament. There are approximately 20 such days a year, in which opposition parties rather than the government can bring motions for debate and vote in the House of Commons. These votes are not binding on the government, but are nonetheless an expression of the will of Parliament.

Such days are usually uneventful but on Wednesday, the Scottish National Party—a small opposition party led by Humza Yousaf, whose in-laws successfully fled Gaza in recent months—set a trap designed to expose the Labour Party’s internal divisions on the Israel-Hamas war. The SNP’s motion called for an “immediate cease-fire” in Gaza and described Israel’s actions since October 7 as “collective punishment.” The Labour Party then submitted an amendment to this motion that instead called for an “immediate humanitarian cease-fire” to be observed by “all sides” and demanded a two-state solution. The Conservative government then submitted its own amendment to the original motion calling for an “immediate humanitarian pause” while also asserting Israel’s “right to self-defense.”

By convention, if the government tables an amendment to a motion submitted by an opposition party, it is the government’s amendment that is then debated. That meant the Labour Party—which increasingly relies on the Muslim vote for a significant number of its seats—was stuck between a rock and a hard place: either they would have to vote for the extreme anti-Israel SNP motion which calls Israel’s actions “collective punishment,” or vote for the government’s amendment which does not call for the cease-fire Labour supporters demand.

At this point, Labour MPs started to privately voice concerns over their safety to the Speaker of the House of Commons, who chairs Commons debates. Lawmakers who were unwilling to bend the knee and vote for the SNP motion argued they would then be accused of being “against a cease-fire” and at risk of becoming the targets of Islamist violence. The Speaker, no doubt under pressure from the Labour leadership, accepted this argument and broke convention to allow both the government’s and Labour’s amendment to be debated. (The Speaker has since admitted error and apologized but is nonetheless under pressure to resign.)

The upshot of this procedural controversy is simple and alarming: the Speaker of the House of Commons overturned established precedent because, as he later himself admitted, he feared for the safety of Members of Parliament. Put bluntly, British democracy ceased to operate by its own rules in order to prevent its elected representatives from being violently hounded, if not killed, by Islamist mobs.

In one sense, the Speaker’s decision was not unfounded. MPs really are at risk. Only weeks prior, Mike Freer, a Conservative MP who represents a constituency with a significant Jewish population, announced that he would not be seeking reelection because of threats to him and his family over his support for Israel. Explaining his decision, he revealed that he had started wearing stab-proof vests when meeting constituents.

In 2021 another Conservative MP, Sir David Amess, was stabbed to death by an Islamist at such a meeting. In 2017, an Islamist terrorist mowed down pedestrians before stabbing an unarmed police officer to death outside the gates of Parliament.

This was all undoubtedly on the minds of our parliamentarians in the lead-up to yesterday’s vote. MPs on both sides of the aisle have faced angry mobs when out in public in recent weeks, with one MP warned by the police to stay away from his own house due to a hostile gathering outside his family home.

On Wednesday evening, as MPs debated the cease-fire motions inside the chamber, protesters projected the words “from the river to the sea” onto Big Ben.

On Thursday, Jewish Conservative MP Andrew Percy gave a powerful speech in the House of Commons in which said he had just returned from Israel and that “I actually felt safer in Israel than I do in this country.”

The journalist Dan Hodges echoed something I have personally heard from several MPs myself when he wrote on X that he had spoken to an MP who “had weighed up his own physical safety when deciding on how to vote on yesterday’s Gaza motion. We have crossed a line now. We are not a properly functioning democracy if this is a factor in how our elected representatives act.”


Suella Braverman—who was Home Secretary, the minister in charge of policing and immigration, until she was ousted by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in November—did not mince her words when describing the significance of what had happened: “The Islamists. . . are in charge of Britain now.”

Many in her own party took issue with that claim, but it is now clear that Britain has a problem with Islamist extremism that requires immediate and drastic action. Appeasement will make the problem worse. If politicians cave to intimidation and threats of violence as they did on Wednesday, it will encourage only more intimidation and threats of violence.

The government, both the major parties, the police, and the security services need to understand we no longer have the luxury of pretending this issue away.

People who threaten violence should be arrested and locked up for a very long time. If the threats are directed against elected MPs, that is an attempt to subvert our democracy and should be treated as such, with severe sentences. Foreign nationals who engage in, call for, fund, or glorify violence, religious hatred, or other violent extremism should be deported immediately.

We must be honest with ourselves. If we do not act now, as sadly I am almost certain we won’t, the result will be more violence and more intimidation. It is not a pleasant truth to have to admit, but things will only get worse if we refuse to speak it.

Jo Cockburn, anchor of BBC TV’s Politics Live
I took part in yesterday’s edition of BBC TV’s Daily Politics show. It was broadcast a few hours before the House of Commons was due to debate the call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, a much-anticipated parliamentary session which in the event descended into chaos.

The war in Gaza, including Prince William’s controversial remarks about it, took up a considerable part of the BBC show. We also covered the malfunctioning test-launch of a Trident missile, the sacking of the Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration, David Neal, and the spectacular row between the Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch and the former Post Office chairman Henry Staunton. My fellow participants were the Conservative MP Steve Crine who chairs the Commons Health and Social Care Committee, the Labour peer Baroness (Frances) O’Grady and the Scottish National Party MP David Linden. Jo Cockburn was in the chair. You can watch the show by clicking below.

https://www.worthynews.com/93325-british-cargo-sinking-after-attack
A British cargo ship was sinking in the Gulf of Aden after Houthi rebels attacked it and two other U.S. vessels in the region, Israeli and British sources said Tuesday.

The UK-registered Rubymar, whose cargo is unknown, was sailing from the United Arab Emirates to Bulgaria when it was struck, explained Ambrey, a British maritime intelligence firm.

The security firm in charge of safety on the ship said the crew evacuated after two missiles hit. They were picked up by another commercial ship, which took them to Djibouti, officials said.

“We know she was taking in water,” the security firm LSS-SAPU said. “There is nobody on board now. The owners and managers are considering options for towage.”

Yemen’s Houthi militants also said Monday they attacked two U.S. ships, Sea Champion and Navis Fortuna, in the Gulf of Aden.

“The targeting operation was carried out with a number of appropriate naval missiles, and the casualties were accurate and direct, thanks to Allah,” the group’s military spokesman, Yahya Sarea, said in a statement.

There were no immediate independent reports of casualties in these attacks.

UNDERWATER VESSELS

However, the decision by the Houthis to use unmanned “underwater vessels” presents a new danger, according to observers familiar with the situation.

The Iran-backed group already used ballistic missiles and small watercraft as well as helicopters in its attacks on ships, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) says.

It says its “actions will protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for U.S. Navy and merchant vessels.”

However, there were questions about whether the Houthis can and will be deterred.

Iran pressed the group in October to join the Hezbollah and Hamas groups in initiating attacks on Israel, according to Israeli sources.
In addition, Iran operationalized militias in Iraq and Syria to attack U.S. forces who have made clear they will attack ships of Israel and its allies, officials explained.

British Museum stormed by protesters and MP flees home with family – this hate-filled intimidation has to stop
Around 50 pro-Palestinian protesters stormed the British Museum last week during opening hours, staging a sit-in protest that the museum surprisingly seemed absolutely okay with. The stunt comes as Conservative MP, Tobias Ellwood, faced his own ‘intimidating rally’ with over 60 pro-Palestinian protesters targeting his family home.

The museum statement said, “The British Museum respects other people’s right to express their views and allows peaceful protest onsite at the Museum as long as there is no risk to the collection, staff or visitors.”

A malign inversion
Cameron and the Americans are doing the genocidists’ work for them
MELANIE PHILLIPS
FEB 13

Funeral of Hillel and Yagel Yaniv, 21 and19, murdered by Palestinian Arab terrorist, Huwara, February 2023
A repeated tactic by Palestinian Arabs and other Islamists is to accuse their victims of behaviour of which the victims are wholly innocent but of which the Palestinian Arabs and Islamists are guilty. Thus the Israelis, the victims of Palestinian genocidal terrorism, are accused of genocide for seeking to defend themselves. There are many other examples in similar vein.

This type of projection is rooted in the belief that, since Islam is perfection and the non-Islamic world is the province of the devil, Muslims can do no wrong against non-Muslims — who are then accused of committing the crimes perpetrated against them by Muslims. It is an inversion of reality that closely mirrors the way in which the former Soviet Union fried the brain in order to render its internal enemies helpless to resist its terror.

It is a strategy of war, used by Islamists in the psychological warfare they deploy against their victims. And now it is being used by the Biden administration and the British government against Israel.

This week, the British government imposed financial and travel restrictions against four Israeli residents of the disputed territories of Judea and Samaria. The Foreign Secretary, Lord Cameron, claimed that they were “extremist settlers” who were involved in “some of the most egregious abuses of human rights,” having carried out violent attacks on Palestinians in the “West Bank” by threatening them “often at gunpoint” and “forcing them off land that is rightfully theirs”.

The Foreign Office said that Israel’s “failure to act” had led to “an environment of near total impunity for settler extremists”, with violence in the West Bank reaching record levels in 2023.

The British are marching in lockstep with the Biden administration, which earlier this month also sanctioned four Israeli residents of these territories — one of whom is on the UK’s list — claiming that “extremist settler violence” had reached “intolerable levels”.

This is all an extraordinary and malign distortion and loss of proportion. As I wrote here, there is indeed a problem with violent Israeli “hilltop youth,” mainly aged between 14 and 19, but who are estimated to number only a few hundred among more than half a million Israeli residents of Judea and Samaria.

All such attacks are wrong and the Israelis should deal with these “hilltop youth” firmly — which they do, when they are indeed guilty of aggressive acts. But what Cameron and the Biden administration conspicuously fail to acknowledge is that in many of these violent encounters, the Israelis are responding to violence against them by the Palestinian Arabs.

Indeed, it is utterly astonishing that Cameron and the Americans defame the Israeli residents of the territories — the vast majority of whom live entirely peaceful and law-abiding lives — while making no mention whatsoever of the multiple attacks perpetrated by the Palestinian Arabs against these Israelis every day, vastly out-numbering attacks by the Israelis.

Cameron and the Americans say “settler” attacks last year reached record numbers. But there have been around 300 terrorist attacks against Israelis since October 7 alone.

Cameron and the Americans make no mention of the Arab attacks on Israeli “settlers,” involving shootings, rock-throwing and car ramming, which go on every day. They make no mention of the “settlers” Lucy Dee and her two daughters, Maia, 20, and Rina, 15, who were murdered last April by Palestinian terrorists who shot them in their car at point-blank range. They make no mention of the “settlers” Hallel Yaniv, 21, and his brother Yagel, 19, who were murdered by Palestinian terrorists a year ago when they were stuck in a traffic jam. They make no mention of the “settlers” Asher Menachem Paley, 8, and Yaakov Israel Paley, 6, who were standing at a bus stop with their father when a Palestinian terrorist rammed his car into them, killing them along with 20-year-old rabbinical student Alter Shlomo Lederman who had been married for two months.

Israelis are being regularly attacked and murdered by terrorists from a Palestinian population in the “West Bank” of whom more than 80 per cent support the Hamas atrocities. Yet Cameron and his chums in the US State Department have ignored all that. Instead, they have presented the Israelis as committing “egregious human rights abuses” against the Palestinians — thus deploying the Palestinian tactic of inverting victims and aggressors.

This is not surprising given the information upon which the Americans and British have been drawing — the twisted claims made by the UN, “human rights” NGOs and the entire “humanitarian” hate industry, which is deployed to destroy Israel’s reputation through distortion and defamation but which the US and UK foreign policy establishments invest with the sanctity of disinterested conscience. As a result, Cameron and his chums have been played for suckers.

In an important piece in Tablet, Liel Liebowitz writes about Lieutenant General Michael R. Fenzel, a three-star general who currently serves as the US security coordinator to Israel and the Palestinian Authority (USSC). The USSC, says Liebowitz, is well-known for its regular, sometimes daily briefings and reports about “extremist settlers,” which it provides to members of Congress, policy hands and Israel-related advocacy groups, as well as to foreign countries’ forces in Israel.

Liebowitz writes:

According to sources in and out of the US government familiar with Fenzel’s reports and advocacy, nearly every claim presented by the USSC as fact seems to have been lifted directly, sometimes verbatim, from the websites of highly partisan pro-Palestinian organizations, including the United Nations’ Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OCHA) and the far-left Israeli NGO B’Tselem, which accuses Israel of apartheid and receives vast support from European governments and from George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.

In the past 12 months, 13 Israelis were murdered by Palestinians in Jerusalem and 17 in the West Bank — not counting those slaughtered on October 7, 2023— while doing nothing more provocative than driving home or stopping for gas. The number of Palestinian civilians who have been killed by Israelis under such conditions over the same time period is zero.

But the story the administration has been telling anyone who will listen is very different. By scrubbing any mention of the daily violence directed by Palestinian terror operatives against Jewish civilians living in the West Bank from his reports, Fenzel has eliminated the clear retaliatory motive for the vast majority of attacks by Israelis against West Bank Palestinians. Thinly laundered reports from expressly anti-Israel organizations, designed to support an illusion of innocent Palestinians being violently attacked by bloodthirsty Israelis, paint a picture of an Israeli equivalent to the Palestinian atrocities of October 7, lending itself an easy “both-sides” posture meant to ease the way to creating a new Palestinian state in both the West Bank and Gaza. With an executive order now in place, the Biden administration has all the tools it needs to crack down on any form of Jewish life in Judea and Samaria, and on anyone, in Israel or stateside, who supports it.

In other words, in order to impose a Palestinian terror state upon the Israelis Cameron and the Biden administration are casting the Israelis as “egregious” human rights offenders while airbrushing genocidal Palestinian violence out of the picture altogether.

In the Israeli paper Israel Hayom, Nadav Shragai points out the extreme loss of proportion in the imposition of sanctions on a handful of Israeli “settlers”, even though Washington is fully aware that Israel deals with such violent extremists with extreme severity. He writes:

It is this same line of thinking that led the Americans to demanding and obtaining an Israeli commitment, that the thousands of M16 assault rifles that have been purchased from manufacturers in the US, will not be handed over to the rapid response squads in the settlements. The reason for this: the concern that these weapons, whose function is to protect the Jewish residents, might end up being used to attack Palestinians.

And these are no more than the patent symptoms of a deep-rooted obsession: the US knows full well that it is the Jewish residents who are under threat, and that the rapid response squads have a purely defensive function. It also knows that the chance of the rapid response squad members actually going and attacking Palestinians is next to nonexistent.

The Americans are also distinctly familiar with the Palestinian side, which only a few months ago, at their request, Israel supplied with armoured cars and machine guns. They know that the members of the PASF (Palestinian Authority Security Forces) are heavily involved in acts of terrorism. The incident at the weekend involving a Palestinian officer firing on an IDF soldier near the community of Shavei Shomron, and the recent shooting at Kibbutz Meirav on the Gilboa mountain range, are mere symptoms of this.

The US is also either turning a blind eye to or ignoring the worrying signs of growing proximity between the PA and Hamas, the connecting link between them being Fatah — the beating heart of the PA. The Fatah’s al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades operate in joint cells together with terrorists from Hamas and the PIJ. Both the IDF and Israel’s Security Agency, better known as Shin Bet, have come face to face with this phenomenon on numerous occasions over the course of the last year.

As antisemitism in the diaspora and the deranged demonisation of Israel roar out of control in Britain and America, members of the US Congress and members of parliament in Britain should be raising as a matter of urgency the way in which both the US State Department and the British Foreign Office appear to be doing the genocidists’ work for them by inverting victim and aggressor — in order to force into existence a terror state that would turn the October 7 pogrom into the equivalent of Krystallnacht as a harbinger of the slaughter to come.

UK: Antisemitism record high reveals support of Hamas atrocities, not just anger at Israel’s response
Feb 16, 2024 | News

UK: Antisemitism record high reveals support of Hamas atrocities, not just anger at Israel’s response
Reports of antisemitic incidents in the UK reached a record high in 2023, with 4,103 anti-Jewish hate crimes, almost double the previous record of 2,233 incidents in 2021.

The Community Security Trust (CST) reports that two-thirds of incidents happened on or after the Hamas attacks on 7th October, with 416 incidents occurring in the week following the attacks – the largest number than any subsequent week.

The CST explains that this suggests that the increase “was a celebration of the Hamas attack on Israel, rather than anger at Israel’s military response in Gaza.”

These findings challenge us about our understanding of the motives behind the worrying rise in antisemitism. Such incidents are largely contextualised as opposition to Israel’s actions in Gaza, but the CST’s analysis shows that motives behind the incidents can also be explained as showing support for Hamas. There is an important difference. Antisemitism is wrong in all instances, but explaining antisemitic incidents as a backlash to Israel’s military response simplifies this hatred against Jews. It also undermines the sad reality that Jew-hatred is rampant in sections of our society. Hamas’s actions of 7th October gave new breath and legitimacy to the antisemite to express their hatred against Israel and against Jews.

Let us not forget that there were pro-Palestinian demonstrators congregating in UK cities, glorifying Hamas and condemning Israel on the same weekend as the Hamas massacre in Israel, even before Israel had even responded militarily.

The annual report also gives disturbing details about the trends of antisemitism in 2023.

For example, antisemitic incidents in around British schools have more than tripled since 2022. The same rise applies to university-related incidents.

Many Jewish schools have increased security since last October, but many pupils have reported being subject to verbal abuse while travelling to school and back.

Higher Education Minister Robert Halfon called the figures “deeply concerning”.

“To see this form of hatred also take place in education is unacceptable,” he said.

“I have contacted all vice-chancellors – reaching out to many personally – to ask them step up and crack down on antisemitism on university campuses.

“The government has been clear that hate crime on any kind will not be tolerated and anyone found to have committed it will face the full force of the law.”

“Watershed for antisemitism in the UK”

A spokesman CST: ‘This was a watershed for anti-Semitism in the UK. The speed at which anti-Semites mobilised in the UK on and immediately after October 7 suggests that, initially at least, this increase in anti-Jewish hate was a celebration of the Hamas attack on Israel, rather than anger at Israel’s military response in Gaza.’

The CST recorded at least one anti-Semitic incident for every police force in the UK, with the majority – more than 2,400 – in London, including some at vigils for Hamas’s Israeli hostages.

There were 31 incidents on 7th October alone, and they peaked in the week that followed with 416 including 80 on one day alone, 11th October. Israel’s military operation against Hamas began on 27th October.

The CST report said that in 955 incidents the offender referred to the Holocaust, Hitler or the Nazis, more than double the previous year’s total of 469.

It included 70 cases of Holocaust denial and 184 celebrating or glorifying the Holocaust. The CST also found cases of ‘damage and desecration of Jewish property’ rose by 146 per cent to 182. Of those, five involved damage to Jewish cemeteries, 43 to Jews’ homes or vehicles, nine to synagogues, 14 to businesses or organisations, nine to Jewish schools and seven to public menorahs used during the Hanukkah festival.

For example, a poster of a baby kidnapped by Hamas was defaced with two swastikas in an incident in London at the end of last year, including a swastika drawn on the infant’s forehead.

In October a synagogue in Sussex was daubed with ‘SS IDF’ in red paint, with ‘SS’ depicted as the emblem of the Nazi’s genocidal elite guard, and ‘IDF’ referring to the Israeli Defence Forces.

The overall total also included 305 ‘direct anti-Semitic threats’ while the largest category of incident was 3,328 cases of ‘abusive behaviour’, up 149 per cent year-on-year.

“Utterly deplorable”

Home Secretary James Cleverly has condemned the figures as ‘utterly deplorable’.

Home Secretary Mr Cleverly said: ‘The rise in anti-Semitic hatred and abuse we have seen in the UK in recent months is utterly deplorable. I will do everything in my power to ensure they are safe, and just as importantly feel safe.’

Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper called the figures ‘appalling and intolerable’, adding: ‘There must be zero-tolerance for anti-Semitism in Britain and those who proliferate that poison on the streets and online must face the full force of the law.’

John Mann, the Government’s independent adviser on anti-Semitism, has called on politicians from all sides to ‘get their collective acts together to sort this out’.

The former Labour MP said a ‘tornado’ of anti-Jewish hatred was working its way through the nation. He told LBC on Tuesday: ‘I am dealing with this literally every waking hour, firefighting, assisting Jewish people who have been targeted in industry, culture, sports… all over this is happening.’

UK: Teachers struggling to handle impact of Israel-Hamas war with pupils arguing, antisemitism in class, and half of teachers unable to answer questions

Secondary school teachers in the UK are struggling to manage the impact of Israel’s war on Hamas, according to a latest poll, with only 3% of teachers receiving training to handle such issues and 11% of teachers nationwide having witnessed antisemitic behaviour in the classroom.
17% of teachers in London report antisemitism in the classroom.
Half of UK teachers say they don’t feel confident explaining the conflict.
8% of teachers say their students have attended Palestinian demos; 1% for Israel rallies.

Elaine,

Children are being left traumatised by their school's policies on transgenderism.

A mother disclosed this week that her five-year-old daughter hasn’t been herself since being touched inappropriately by a boy in their school's gender-neutral toilets on three occasions. Despite the incident upsetting the girl, the West Midlands school still has gender-neutral toilets.

Children have also been left distressed after a Church of England primary school in the South East, after it allowed a four-year-old boy to attend as a girl, concealing his biological sex from his classmates and parents.

Revealing the harm this deception has caused her daughter, one parent told The Telegraph that the school has “robbed” her daughter of her childhood, as she struggled to come to terms with learning her friend is not a girl and that teachers had “lied” to her about it.

Whilst the Education Secretary has claimed she is looking into these tragic incidents, they show that the recently published transgender guidance for schools doesn’t go far enough.

Incidents like these will continue to happen and children will continue to be at risk until key elements of the transgender guidance become law.

Join us in asking the Prime Minister and Education Secretary to protect children by making their transgender guidance legally binding.

Your support will help put an end to many of the harms caused by transgender ideology within our schools.
In solidarity,

Chris Joyce and the entire CitizenGO team

P.S. If you've already lent your support by signing, take the next step and spread the word among your friends. Sharing this petition will amplify our collective voice and help us achieve the change we want to see in schools.

Here's the email we sent you earlier on this:

Dear Elaine,

The safety and well-being of children are continuously under attack due to the widespread and damaging transgender ideology that has infiltrated our schools.

For too long, children have been ‘taught’ that there are more than two genders or that they may have been born in the wrong body, influenced by groups such as Educate and Celebrate, Just Like Us, Mermaids, and Stonewall.

However, we now stand at a critical juncture, with a real opportunity to challenge and potentially eliminate transgender ideology from UK schools.

The Department for Education has recently issued new guidance for schools on managing cases of pupils wishing to identify as the opposite gender. The long-awaited guidance, which is open for public consultation until 12 March 2024, marks a significant shift away from trans-affirming ideologies.

It clarifies that schools are not required to allow children to ‘socially transition’ and offers protection for single-sex spaces and girls' sports.

While this is a commendable step forward, it is not sufficient.

Despite this progress, the UK's largest teaching unions, including the National Education Union and NASUWT, have advised teachers to disregard this guidance, maintaining their pro-trans policies on the grounds that the guidance is non-statutory.

Tragically, the teaching unions are right…

Their resistance highlights a stark reality:

Without legal enforcement, these guidelines are just words on paper – mere suggestions with little power to change anything.

Legal change is needed to make sure schools comply and protect children from the harms of transgender ideology.

Please sign our petition to the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, and the Education Secretary, Gillian Keegan, demanding they make key elements of the transgender guidance for schools law.

Evidence that the guidance is currently just words on paper can be seen in the case of Kevin Lister.

Kevin was a teacher with over 20 years of experience until he was abruptly escorted off the premises of Swindon New College and later sacked for ‘misgendering’ a 17-year-old female pupil who identified as a boy.

Despite there being no law recognising ‘gender transition’ for those in the UK under 18, Kevin lost what he described as “the best job in the world” on the very same day the government published its transgender guidance for schools.

The tragic thing is, that we’ll continue losing good teachers like Kevin, Hannah*, Joshua Sutcliffe, and many others unless key elements of the transgender guidance for schools become law.

Kevin was correct when he told the Mail “We need legally binding rules to banish this extremist ideology from the classroom once and for all.”

Help us ban insidious transgender ideology from schools! Sign our petition to the Prime Minister and the Education Secretary urging them to protect children, parents and teachers.

It has taken an awfully long time just to get non-statutory guidance on this matter.

Supported by the Christian Legal Centre and encouraged by CitizenGO supporters, Nigel and Sally Rowe fought in the courts for five years before securing a commitment from the UK government to reform transgender policies in schools. It took more than a year after that for the guidance to then be published.

However, there is hope we can achieve positive change and see key elements of the guidance become law soon.

The government is currently consulting on the transgender guidance and could be open to making it far more robust by making key elements of it law – there has been a significantly negative reaction within the party to the guidance not being legally binding and a positive law change would set the UK apart from the Labour Party ahead of the general election later this year.

The time to act is now. The more signatures we gather, the stronger our message to the Prime Minister and the Education Secretary will be.

If we succeed, key elements of the guidance will become law, and social transition could even become illegal. This would protect children, parents, and teachers.

If we fail, the guidance will remain non-statutory, meaning it can be completely ignored. Teachers will continue to lose their jobs for protecting children from harm and for standing for the truth.

Sign our petition to Rishi Sunak and Gillian Keegan and urge them to protect children, teachers, and parents by making their transgender guidance legally binding.

America and Britain cross a treacherous red line
Their unhinged obsession with the “two-state solution” threatens to incentivise Hamas
MELANIE PHILLIPS
FEB 2
UK Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron meets Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas
Fears that the Biden administration’s bear-hug of embattled Israel is the prelude to eating it alive were dramatically enhanced this week.

On Wednesday, US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said that the administration was “actively pursuing the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with real security guarantees for Israel”.

He was confirming a report on the Hebrew-language news site Walla that Secretary of State Antony Blinken had ordered officials to examine the possibility of American and international recognition of a “state of Palestine” the day after the war in Gaza.

A senior US official told the site that elements within the Biden administration are recommending a move towards recognising a Palestinian state as a first step in a renewed peace process and not as the result of negotiations between the parties.

These “elements within the Biden administration” appear to be in lockstep with the British government. Two days before the report, at a reception in London, Britain’s Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron stunned observers by declaring that the British government was considering formal recognition of a “state of Palestine,” including at the UN.

“This could be one of the things that will help make this process irreversible,” he said.

It’s been clear from the start of the war in Gaza that both Britain and America are seizing on the turmoil to advance their obsession with a “two-state solution”. However, it’s one thing to press for movement towards a Palestine state. Unilaterally recognising it crosses a red line.

Official recognition of a “Palestine” that doesn’t exist is part of the strategy of diplomatic warfare against Israel promoted by those who want to see the Jewish state destroyed.

Conceptually ridiculous, since it involves recognising a “state” that has no physical form and no boundaries, it would remove at a stroke the necessity for the Palestinian Arabs to agree to live in peace alongside Israel. Instead, it would incentivizse still further their rejection of Israel’s right to exist.

How exactly would such a state be demilitarised? Who would ensure that it had no access to weaponry that could threaten Israeli civilians? What exactly does the US mean by “real security guarantees” for Israel?

Is it suggesting these would be enforced by the Hamas-collaborating United Nations, perhaps? “Real security guarantees” like UN resolution 1701 in 2006? The one that called for the area between the Israel-Lebanon border and the Litani River to be cleared of all armed forces other than the Lebanese army and UN peacekeepers? The area where Hezbollah has sited 150,000 missiles, which it may unleash upon Israel any moment now, and from where it is launching daily attacks?

Until now, Britain and America have rightfully opposed unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state as an act of malicious aggression against Israel. Now they are proposing to join in.

And what a time to announce this, when Israel is in the throes of a war for its existence after the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust. While the IDF is making painful progress towards dismantling Hamas, Britain and America have now given the terror outfit an enormous incentive to keep fighting.

Other remarks by Cameron were equally preposterous. He said that recognising a “state of Palestine” would pressure Israel, which he blamed for the absence of such a state. The last 30 years, he asserted, have been a story of Israel’s failure to provide security to its citizens by preventing a “state of Palestine”.

This denies reality. The Palestinian Arabs have repeatedly been offered a state of their own, either by Israel or with its agreement, but have always turned it down and resorted instead to terrorism and war.

The reason Israel has no security is because the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union have mischaracterised the war of extermination against Israel as a conflict over territory. They have accordingly pressured Israel to make endless concessions that undermined its security.

They have also continued to fund the Palestinian Authority despite the genocidal agenda against Israel and Jews that it shares with Hamas, and with which it indoctrinates the Palestinian Arabs with murderous hatred of the kind that erupted in the October 7 pogrom.

Piously, Cameron also intoned that Israel would need to see all hostages released, with a guarantee that Hamas can no longer launch attacks on Israel and with Hamas’s leadership gone from Gaza.

Such a guarantee depends upon the destruction of Hamas as a military force. Yet Britain and the US are actively undermining this by their constant pressure on Israel to step up supplies of humanitarian aid to Gaza, some 66 per cent of which —according to Israeli Security Agency director Ronen Bar — is being stolen by Hamas for its own use.

Both America and Britain have provided military aid to Israel. The resupply of weaponry from the United States is critical. The United Kingdom is sending an aircraft carrier to the region to replace the American one that is leaving. Both Britain and America spoke out against the vile South African “genocide” case at the International Court of Justice.

Yet in their obsession with the “two-state solution” as the path to peace in the Middle East, both Washington and London display quite staggering political blindness and stupidity.

They propose to declare the existence of a Palestine state that the Palestinians have always refused to accept. They treat Hamas and a Palestinian state as if they are unrelated to each other. Get rid of Hamas and presto, a Palestinian state will end this hundred-year war.

But Hamas are Palestinians. They were joined in their atrocities on October 7 by hundreds of “ordinary” Palestinians from Gaza. The PA’s governing party, Fatah, supported the pogrom. A Palestinian state would be a Hamastan on steroids and potentially run as such by Iran or Qatar.

In The New York Times Thomas Friedman, who is used as a conduit for the Biden administration’s anti-Israel trial balloons, wrote that the proposed recognition of “Palestine” signals an awareness that the United States “will never have the global legitimacy, the NATO allies and the Arab and Muslim allies it needs to take on Iran in a more aggressive manner unless we stop letting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hold our policy hostage”.

This venomous distortion breathtakingly blames Netanyahu for fighting to defend Israel against genocidal Iran. Yet it was the appeasement of Iran by the Obama and Biden administrations that led to the October 7 pogrom, the unleashing of Iranian war across the region and now three deaths and dozens of casualties among Americans.

To imply that the Iranian regime which screams “Death to America!” and aims to Islamise the world is only waging this war because of the absence of a Palestinian state is as unhinged as it is disgusting.

The Biden administration is riddled with vicious haters of Israel holding key Middle East policy positions. And, of course, Britain is the original cause of this conflict, having torn up its commitment under the Palestine Mandate to settle the Jews throughout Palestine and offering part of it to their Arab attackers instead — the original “two-state solution”.

In the 1930s, Britain’s response to Palestinian Arab pogroms against Palestinian Jews was to reward the Arabs with a proposed state of their own.

In 2024, Britain’s response to a Palestinian Arab pogrom against Israeli Jews is to reward the Arabs with a proposed state of their own.

The supercilious Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton resembles nothing so much as a British Colonial Office pooh-bah, busy selling the pass in Mandatory Palestine while looking down his nose at the uppity Jews.

While Israel is forced to sacrifice the flower of its youth as it fights for its life, its so-called allies are placing the west itself in increasing peril as they threaten to hang the Jewish state out to dry once again to conceal their own malevolent ineptitude.

Teenagers jailed for ‘exceptionally brutal’ murder of Brianna Ghey
Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe were partly motivated by 16-year-old victim’s transgender identity, judge says
Shockingly premeditated: how two teenagers planned Brianna Ghey’s murder
Helen Pidd North of England editor
Fri 2 Feb 2024 17.46 GMT
The teenage pair who murdered Brianna Ghey have been sentenced to life in prison for an “exceptionally brutal” killing partly motivated by her transgender identity.
Scarlett Jenkinson, who was described by the judge as the “driving force” behind the murder, was sentenced to a minimum of 22 years for what the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said was “one of the most disturbing cases” their lawyers had ever dealt with.
Eddie Ratcliffe, a quiet and studious former champion kickboxer, was given 20 years for killing Brianna, an “out and proud” transgender girl who hoped to become a beauty therapist.
The pair, both 16, were named for the first time before the sentencing after the judge lifted reporting restrictions.
Sentencing, Mrs Justice Yip said: “You both took part in a brutal and planned murder which was sadistic in nature and where a secondary motive was hostility towards Brianna because of her transgender identity.”
She said Jenkinson was motivated by a “deep desire to kill”, and pronounced her concern on hearing that the teenager had “expressed the desire to kill again” after her conviction. She had written a new “kill list” since her detention, which included the names of some of her carers, the court heard.

To both defendants, the judge said: “You picked Brianna because you both thought she would be an easy target.”
Yip warned the pair they may never be released if they “remain a danger”. Though Jenkinson pleaded not guilty to the murder, Manchester crown court heard that since her conviction she had admitted taking part in the stabbing, having previously blamed Ratcliffe for the murder.

Fire Put Out At British Oil Tanker After Houthi Strike

Oil Tanker
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News

JERUSALEM/CAIRO (Worthy News) – A fire raging at a British-managed oil tanker in the Red Sea that was hit in a missile strike launched by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels from Yemen has been put out, officials say.

Yet the attack on the Marlin Luanda further complicated the Red Sea crisis caused by the Houthis’ anger over Israel’s decision to launch a war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip after the group attacked the Jewish nation on October 7.

The targeted tanker reportedly carried Russian-produced naphtha, a flammable oil, drawing Moscow further into an armed conflict that it had blamed on the United States and its allies.

As the Marlin Luanda burned, the U.S. military conducted a strike against a Houthi anti-ship missile early Saturday that was also aimed at the Red Sea and prepared to launch, the U.S. Central Command said.

That attack came after the USS Carney, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, had to shoot down a Houthi missile targeting it, U.S. officials explained.

The Marlin Luanda burned for hours in the Gulf of Aden until being extinguished Saturday, said Trafigura, a Singapore-based trading firm.

Its crew of 25 Indian nationals and two Sri Lankans tackled the blaze sparked by the missile strike, it said. The blast injured no one, it added.

HOUTHIS CONFIRMATION

The announcement followed Yemen’s Houthis’ confirmation on Friday that their naval forces targeted “the British oil tanker Marlin Luanda” in the Gulf of Aden, causing a fire to break out.

They used “a number of appropriate naval missiles; the strike was direct,” the Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sare’e said in a statement monitored by Worthy News.

He said the attack was carried out “In vindication of the oppressed Palestinian people and support and solidarity with our brothers in the Gaza Strip.” It was also “within the response to the American-British aggression against our country,” the spokesman added.

Amid a rapid escalation, Chinese officials asked their Iranian counterparts to help rein in attacks on ships in the Red Sea by the Iran-backed Houthis or risk harming business relations with Beijing, Iranian sources said.

The discussions about the attacks and trade between China and Iran reportedly occurred at several recent meetings in Beijing and Tehran, Iranian sources said.

“Basically, China says: ‘If our interests are harmed in any way, it will impact our business with Tehran. So tell the Houthis to show restraint,” said one Iranian official briefed on the talks, told the Reuters news agency on condition of anonymity.

China, which maintains close ties with Russia, is also concerned about the consequences of the Read Sea attacks on Asian trade as the tanker over the weekend was carrying its Russian naphtha cargo to Singapore.
