An Instagram video described the arrests of two men over the attack as “total bullshit to keep the false flag flying”. The video also featured an image in which parts of the word “Jewish” had been blacked out.

What a scumbag

It's a bit concerning that he's a nurse and children’s safeguarding specialist.

To answer the question- yes, of course it does. As for “equating Israel’s actions” with British ( or any) Jews- what actions? Because from where I am standing, If what happened to Israel on October 7 happened in the uk, what would we do, as a country? Just accept it?
All countries have the right to defend themselves, even Jewish ones.
The actions of Hamas and the inhabitants of Gaza have unleashed a wave of Jew hate across the world not seen in 80 years- which was, of course, the intention.
I don’t believe for one second the supposedly Jewish people on here voting Green. Sorry, but that would be unbelievably self destructive.

I agree. (I'm not Jewish, btw).

As someone who cares about the environment and used to support the Greens, I'm dismayed by the developments within the party. There are some very nasty people involved.

They seem to have lost sight of their original raison d'etre.

Hitler was a vegetarian (so was Himmler) and an animal lover - so caring about these things doesn't automatically make you a good person.

Its not the Green Party any more.
Trojan horse / Manchurian candidate.
Polanski is a complete charlatan.

Saiqa Ali was elected. Over a thousand people thought she was the best person for the job despite supporting a terrorist organisation. So was Mohammed Suleman. Luckily Tina "Thereal.anne.frank" Ion didn't but a few hundred people still voted for her.

So was Mark Adderley. The man spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories. I wonder if they'll let him back in the party.

Its incredible how environmentalism has become so dear to the Muslim community in Britain over the last couple of years

Some of your fellow Green supporters-

Tina Ion a Newcastle Green candidate who runs an account called The Real Anne Frank which refers to “Jewish Nazis” and mocks Jews

Sabine Maurer - a Clapham candidate who posted a man with a placard saying “ramming a synagogue isn’t antisemitism it’s revenge”

Saiqa Ali whoposted pictures of Hamas fighters with headline “Resistance is Freedom”

Never mind the comments from their leader Polanski and Mothin Ali the deputy leader ….

No I think you need to get over yourself.
You need to take a note of your own words and mind your own business about what concerns others.
As is often the said if you don’t like something you can scroll by…..or are you trying to silence Jewish people.

Mass indoctrination.

With an undertone of good ol' familiar antisemitism fueling it

balabusta · 08/05/2026 02:28

Of course British govt has made mistakes, duh. So has the UN and every organization.
My point is
a) there isnt consensus
b).even if there were genocide, it STILL doesn't justify the antisemitism of green party candidates and
c) genocides happen frequently unfortunately - Rohingya genocide by Myanmar buddhists, Sudan genocide by uae supported RSF, DRC, Nigeria to name a few ongoing - but somehow israel/palestine is presented as unique and the only cause to focus on. Why? Its certainly not for humanitarian reasons....

And even if it turns out to be true that israel committed genocide in Gaza, that has nothing to do with British Jews.

However, part and parcel of the antisemitism problem- and both a cause and consequence - is the demonisation of Israel and Israelis (and then often by association, all Jews too) and focus on israel/palestine as some uniquely moral cause and noble fight of good against evil in a way that you don't see in any other conflict.

Quite.
No Jews no news.

Exactly. Muslims stab people all the time (as do non Muslims, just a fact that there's knife crime). But the headline here is that this man travelled to a Jewish area in order to specifically target and attack visibly Jew people. You see him walk past people not obviously jewish. This was not an uncontrolled rampage. Yet the antisemites are intent on making it sound like it was and it was just chance that he travelled across london to one of the most jewish neighbourhoods and stabbed visibly jewish men. Why?

I didn't determine genocide. Israeli NGOs B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights Israel did. The UN, MSF, Amnesty and Human Rights Watch EACH independently determined it.
The British government side step the question and David Cameron threatened to defund the International Criminal Court if they issued warrants for Netanyahu and his gang. Such innocent behaviour.
The British government of course must be right ...just like it was right about hanging Nelson Mandela, or about the Suez crisis, or about the coup in Iran in the 50's so BP could maintain control of the oil wealth. Look it up.

Asked and answered on a previous thread re the Muslim man (the attackers friend of 20 years ) who he stabbed first in a domestic incident.
The Muslim victim was seen by many posters on various news sites and social media.
Interesting that you are downplaying the antisemitic attack that the attacker travelled several miles to and was seen walking past none Jewish people in the street and attacking two clearly identifiable Jewish people. Yes let’s not mention the religious motive and just push for the “poor mentally unwell man.”
Your agenda on this and other posts shines bright like a diamond.
What genocide, the genocide the surrounding countries are trying to commit on Israel.Yes terrible isn’t it.
But you won’t acknowledge that.
Racism is such a nasty trait.

This is a genocide that our elected government in the UK is complicit in, in the opinion of Israeli NGO B'Tselem, MSF and the UN. You know the only other times MSF broke neutrality? Bosnia, the Congo and Rwanda. That's right, other genocides.

You know the mentally unwell man who stabbed 2 in Golders Green - when he escaped the psychiatric facility he was held in, he first attacked a Muslim man. But you won't hear that on the news for some reason.

All racism is equally unacceptable, including anti-Semitism. Show me numerical evidence that anti-Semitism is worse than the hate crimes against other UK minorities.
Oh and bear in mind, some of the "hate crimes" reported by certain malign groups such as Lawyers for Israel, include an art exhibition in the UK showing Gazan children's drawings of the genocide, and a London hospital displaying drawings by Palestinian children.

Again I repeat, Maccabi Tel Aviv football club supporters pose a much greater risk to other Jews, statistically, than any mainstream UK group.

When it comes to drawings and “artwork” it depends what is depicted - for example Matthew Collings’ exhibition in Margate….

“Matthew Collings has described the drawings for his touring “Genocide” exhibition as “a window into the Zionist lobbies connection to our government, mainstream media and the art world. The images depict individuals implicated in the genocide in Gaza.”
Collings’ drawings included images of various UK politicians, journalists and people in the art world, whom he accused of complicity in “genocide”.
One drawing shows a Jewish owner of Sotheby’s eating a baby, next to the words, “Hey look I’m selling a fantastic painting, while eating a baby alive”. Another shows people with blood coming out of their hands and mouths, and Swastikas and Stars of David or Israeli flags are scattered around the drawing. Many of the drawings show Jews surrounded by skulls.”

You've determined genocide but the British govt determined differently.

Was that muslim man attacked just for being Muslim?
