I am actually horrified. A third, Muslim, man was stabbed in the attack but he isn’t being mentioned anywhere. How is this allowed?!

Never heard there was third person either. Strange

Because the first one was a personal dispute. Not a racially motivated attack on him because he was Muslim.

With media reports it’s one thing. But for the actual police to lie and misrepresent what’s happening is disgraceful.

I had heard about the third person (probably because I read The Guardian which is linked after that tweet). I think the counter terrorism bit only relates to his attacks in Golders Green though. The previous stabbing happened earlier in the day after a 'personal dispute '.

Thank you 👍

Man appears in court over attempted murders of three people in London knife attacks
Essa Suleiman accused of stabbing two Jewish men in Golders Green and Ishmail Hussein in south London

And this is the Guardian.

But then that would show he was stabbing people for other reasons that weren’t racial.

Well it is in the 3rd paragraph of that police statement. And all BBC reports I have seen/heard since the charges have had that detail in.

Do you have a link to your source?

He was mentally unwell. It’s actually vile that people are trying to erase the third victim because it doesn’t fit the narrative.

No it wouldn't. The first one was a personal dispute. He then travelled to make a racially motivated attack on Jewish people.

Well that doesn’t fit the narrative does it?

Oh come off it. The other guy was in the same house as him. They knew each other. He travelled to a known Jewish area and stabbed 2 orthodox Jews.

Yes. It would.

What narrative? Posters have clarified what happened.

Clearly the counter terrorism investigation outcomes disagree.

one is a domestic/personal incident at his home and one was a terrorist attack, obviously both by the same person and awful but it’s obvious why the second is mentioned in the tweet as that’s the one related to the counter terrorism police investigation mentioned.

Iirc, the first stabbing was mentioned in the early news coverage, but then it seemed to drop off the radar. At the time, I assumed that they'd discovered that the first one was unconnected, but it appears not.

If this was a deliberate decision on the part of journos/editors, I'd be interested to know the thinking behind it.

What is the narrative? That Jewish people have been subject to racially aggravated attacks in this country at a far higher scale per head of population than any other group? Do you think these are all ' false flag' operations?

Yes, who were not known to him, but identifiable as Jews by their clothing/head coverings.

Do you think it was a conspiracy? I think it's there in print upthread for people to read.

We also don't know why this was. Did he try and stop him? Was he involved in some way? No one knows. The only narrative being pushed here is that this is all a massive Jewish conspiracy theory. I wonder where we've heard that one before?

While that may be correct, it doesnt negate the fact that the second two stabbings were racially motivated does it? He was clearly unbalanced and violent when he stabbed the first victim, a muslim man who was known to him and with whom he had a disagreement. He was then unbalanced, violent and racially motivated when he went on to stab two Jewish men who were not known to him and who had not interacted with him at all. With no other information currently available the supposition is that the later victims were targeted because they were visibly Jewish.

So let’s get this straight.

Man stabs three people.

Only two victims matter.

Got it.

The Guardian published his name yesterday, Ishmail Hussein.
