Ambulances Set on Fire in Suspected Anti Jewish Attack

[StartingStar]

Horrible news that ambulances run by a Jewish charity have been set on fire in Golders Green today.

AIBU to feel it's got to to with the rise in anti Jewish hate since the allowance of horrible slogans on the weekly marches and in everyday society? What on earth makes people commit such a horrible attack.

I'm 100% with the Jewish community and pray for peace.

Fantastic

What is your evidence to the contrary, genuine question

No one on here has said anything islamophobic about Sadiq Khan?! You seem to be getting riled up about something that hasn't happened. Is that an attempt to deflect from antisemitism?

We seem to be struggling with mass migration from countries who do not share our values

Words still exist even if you have personally never heard of them before.

(Image under review, but it's just a screenshot from Wikipedia explaining the meaning of islamo-leftism)

I didn’t know that. It’s another sad day for democracy in this country. I am a tiny bit buoyed by government saying they’ll lend ambulances and eventually fund new ones .

It's disgusting behaviour. Pray they are caught and imprisoned for a long time.

And it's also possible to discuss this attack and antisemitism in general without inventing islamophobic comments that haven't been made about Sadiq Khan.

Thank you for this post.

It is terrifying. Especially as a woman.

I must say I am surprised that Islam/related politics are supposedly anti capitalist. That doesn't come across at all - look at somewhere like Dubai! Or the general push towards ostentatious displays of wealth, and business ownership (I live in an area with a high Muslim population). I suppose the same could be said for Christian places like the USA but it seems quite stark living in a poor, eternally Labour voting part of the UK.

So because they missed out a hyphen, you think they're being islamophobic?

I agree that islamophobia should be called out, but that's not what you're doing here.

I understand why they are a target - it’s because of how normalised antisemitism has become behind the fig leaf of ‘anti Zionism’

Jewish people/ kindergartens/ ambulances/synagogues are a target because rampant antisemitism has festered while people have excused it and turned a blind eye and ‘set it in context’ because Gaza/Netanyahu/IDF (insert excuse here).

Not because it’s ‘understandable’ (but not acceptable) to attack members of one religion around the world because of actions of fellow members of their faith in another country. Or because the faith leaders didn’t only decry said actions.

If you see any you should call them out or report them. That's what I've been doing anyway. But you're wasting time and energy inventing your own comments that haven't been made and then getting angry about them. Focus on the actual islamophobia instead.

They didn't call them islamos. They mentioned an Islamo-left alliance.

Because antisemitism didn’t exist before Bibi? 🤦‍♀️

What proof did you have in mind? An Internet link

This is so true, SidewaysOtter, though I'd add it's also lacking in intelligence - as we see with the pretzel-twisting when one selected group of the "oppressed" clashes with another over issues such as womens' rights

As PPs have said they also appear not to consider that they'd be first against the wall should their preferred regimes take over, and good luck with the chanting and flag waving then

You'd think all this could be avoided by not putting people in brackets and accepting that every community has issues which need confronting without attaching isms only where it suits, but sadly the dogma appears too entrenched for that

Judeo- or Judaeo- is very much a prefix. We may talk or write about Judeo-Christian culture, people of Judaeo-Persian origin, or Judaeo-French manuscripts.

Islamophobia is a word, so is the usage Islamo-Christian, as in Islamo-Christian heritage.

I hope this will give some leftists pause for thought: is it really such a good idea to demonize Israel all the time when they completely ignore other oppression going on in Sudan, Nigeria, China and many other places.

Their fashionable causes have consequences.
