Antisemitism off the scale. Open season on Jewish people.

Well done counter terrorism for stopping the evil that us Islamic extremists killing here. Its only these hardworking people stopping an attack here.

Jewish people should be safe here. We need to take a MUCH HARDER line on ANY FORM of terrorism., including breaking into military airbases as per those disgusting Palestine Action. Enough

They've been convicted and tried. Hopefully they never get out.

"The UK's current national terrorism threat level is Substantial, meaning an attack is likely. The primary threat comes from Islamist terrorism, which is most likely to be conducted by self-initiated individuals or small cells, with concerns raised by experts about the existence and activation of foreign-directed "sleeper cells". Be careful then.

What a dick he is

I've listened carefully to the audio and he is facilitating opinions of meanings of 'Globalise the Intifada' from, it just means don't buy Israeli goods (😂) to calling for terrorist actions. Maybe part of the problem is, always looking for a "acceptable" meaning and assuming the best of people, when terrorists take advantage of that. They mean the worst possible meaning.

Many of us have seen or heard calls to globalise the intifada. Its not just a chant, it means action, death and destruction.

On the Today programme last week I heard Nick Robinson say all it meant was boycott Israeli goods in shops! Too many naive dangerous idiots out there, the recent rise in public support for open anti-semitism horrifies me.

Why were they even here in the first place? We as a country have been sleepwalking towards this, we are lucky they were stopped.

When I open the news in the morning I’m half expecting to see a new Islamic terrorist atrocity.
They are purposely multiplying like mad to dominate the world.

Unfortunately, they are. There are people amongst us who appear to cheer them on too.

Greta arrested in London for supporting Palestine Action. Owner of Lush telling people who support Israel not welcome in his stores. I’m not sure where this will end.. the truth is, it won’t.

We have to change our security and cities to try to prevent them

"Once symbols of festive calm and Christian heritage, Western Europe’s Christmas markets have increasingly become targets of Islamist terror since the early 2000s. From Strasbourg to Berlin and Magdeburg, repeated attacks and foiled plots have reshaped how Europe celebrates Christmas—forcing heavy security, cancellations and a growing sense of fear."

Completely agree. While it’s so depressing to see Jews become a target (yet again) I’m pleased to note how some are willing to stand up. I applaud all those involved in stopping the attack and getting a conviction.

There are some amazing people fighting against extremists.

Saadaoui also planned to attack Christians, saying: “God willing … after we finish with the Jews … we move on to the crusaders.”

After Jewish people' the Christians next. These extremists must be reported by everyone with suspicions.

It would have been, according to senior detectives, the worst terrorist attack the UK had ever seen.

It was this one. Really disturbing but lots of heroic work too.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/dec/23/foiled-plot-massacre-jews-greater-manchester

When Walid Saadaoui recruited Amar Hussein to join him in a pogrom on the streets of Greater Manchester, Hussein wept with joy.

For years, the two men had been sleeper agents for the Islamic State terrorist group. Each had lived quietly in Britain for years, waiting for the right moment to stage an attack, and for the right person to give them the support to make it happen.

Vile, sick.

No wonder many Jewish families are thinking of leaving. What is sleeping under the surface with some 'members' of society! Just disgusting.

Some protest groups might have within them individuals who would do harm to the Jewish community and anyone who stands in their way, or who is around when they attack.

Help stop terrorism.

Key UK Counter-Terrorism Initiatives
The UK's counter-terrorism strategy, CONTEST 2023, is built on four areas:
Prevent: Works to stop individuals from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism.
Pursue: Focuses on detecting and investigating threats and bringing offenders to justice.
Protect: Aims to enhance the UK's defenses against attacks, offering security advice through resources like ProtectUK.
Prepare: Seeks to lessen the impact of an attack through planning, exercises, and public guidance like "Run, Hide, Tell".
More information is available on the Action Counters Terrorism website and the Counter Terrorism Policing website.

Action Counters Terrorism" (ACT) is the UK's national initiative encouraging the public to report anything suspicious that might be related to terrorism. This public cooperation is a vital part of the overall counter-terrorism effort, aiming to prevent attacks from happening in the first place.

Reporting Suspected Activity
Members of the public are urged to trust their instincts and report any unusual behavior or activity, even if it seems trivial.
In an emergency or if there is immediate danger: Call 999.
To report general concerns or suspicious activity (confidential):
Use the online reporting tool provided by the Metropolitan Police on behalf of all UK forces.
Call the confidential Anti-Terrorism Hotline on 0800 789 321.

Examples of Suspicious Behaviour
Suspicious activities to report could include: hiring vehicles for no clear reason, buying large quantities of certain materials like chemicals, fertilisers, or gas cylinders, unusual note-taking or photography of security measures, receiving deliveries of unusual items, or promoting extremist ideologies.

Naive, thick, stupid idiots are literally shouting to Globalise (that's around world,
i.e. global) the Intifada (uprising, attack, action). Do these dimwits think it means write letters?

Perhaps they should taste the "action" that these extremists plan. I mean are people really that gullible or stupid.

"having answered an Islamic State “call to arms” issued after the outbreak of war in Gaza."

"Globalise the Intifada" ... ring any bells..... call to arms.... take action..... this is what those imbeciles chanting 'Globalise the indifada' get.

"Two men who swore allegiance to Islamic State have been found guilty of plotting to “kill as many Jewish people as they could”, in what detectives believe would have been the UK’s worst terror attack if it had not been thwarted."

Vile individuals.

Read the piece in the Guardian about this and the courage of the undercover officer who worked to trap these despicable people was outstanding. Many lives saved and the conviction secured.

Can you link it here? Thanks 😊
