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

The definition of a terrorist is a general definition (happy to hear your definition or the correct definition in your view) people are appearing to say on this thread that they know all about the racial/political motivations of this specific person, they are masquerading as psychiatrists not me.

The thread is about this. Read the title.

I don't understand why everything descends almost immediately into Jews vs Muslims. Who faces more intimidation/fear/danger, drilling down into the exact stats, population size etc etc.

In Britain in 2026 it just needs to be all decent people vs violent extremists of any variety.

@tulippetals- if the attacker had killed his first victim in a “personal dispute”, walked out of that property and stabbed two people walking past, who just so happened to be Jewish, then I’d say you might well be right that this wasn’t a racially motivated attack.

But after he stabbed his friend in South east London, he crossed London to North West London to go to a predominantly Jewish area and stabbed two people. He passed many other people in his distressed state, yet didn’t attack any of them, waiting until he’d found some obviously Jewish people before attacking.

tell you what: if every woman who was attacked and ended up with serious injuries or dead appeared in all news reports, then i would be with you on this.

Women are murdered at a rate of just over 2 per week. I hope you are shouting for every single one of them to have their own news report.

Otherwise, it might look as though you are trying to minimise an antisemitic attack, wouldn't it?

It’s really not too much of a stretch to imagine the perpetrator immersing himself in Islamist, anti Israel, anti Jewish rhetoric day in day out before he carried out the attack. Yes he’s mentally unwell, he’s also radicalised himself, the two aren’t mutually exclusive.

In real life, people are more likely to come together. This lovely article gives hope. On talk forums, it’s more polarised. You never see the user names on the threads that challenge anti-Muslim hatred and on threads that challenge anti-Jewish hatred.

There’s no getting away from the fact that pretty much all the violent and murderous attacks on Jews of late, in the U.K., in Europe, in Australia, have been carried out by radicalised Muslims. Not right wing thugs, who if they are antisemitically inclines tend to favour stuff such as painting swastikas in Jewish cemeteries or hurling insults at Jews from passing cars.

because when people are targeted specifically because of 1 or more of their identifying features (disabled, black, Jewish) then it doesn't help anyone to try to pretend that wasn't the reason for this and other attacks.

It is about identifying patterns too. Because if we don't identify patterns and just pretend that everyone is at the same risk, we may as well all give up and barricade ourselves at home.

No, it would look like the media have cherry picked the aspect of an incident they want to focus on. The reality is we don"t know the motivation and this is rightly being called out by guests on SKY etc. this morning as "narrative" reporting that fits in with trying to ban certain (mainly) peaceful protests.

ok you keep pretending to yourself that antisemitic attacks haven't increased and i will continue to think people like you are trying to minimise it for some reason.

Mainly peaceful protests? that means that at least some of the protests haven't been peaceful, right?

Domestic/personal. You can keep pretending that’s not how it was phrased, I’ll keep reminding you and everyone else can draw their own conclusions about your motive.

That would be on the thread about zp being evil

“Pesky Jews throwing themselves on knives so marches can be banned”.

I don't know if you're aware of this, but your agenda is crystal clear.

The third victim (or rather the first) was a friend of the perpetrator. They had a falling-out earlier that day. I don't think it's been "hidden" - he's been mentioned in all the Radio 4 news reports that I've heard.

That thread has a 1000 posts and none of my posts defended him.

So what is the agenda? It's not crystal clear to me

‘Domestic dispute’ was said by a few posters, see attached.

Good point about the Iranian ambassador.

"called out by guests on SKY"
that's evidence of a "narrative" is it?
Also..... aren't Sky part of the media? So they're obviously not cherry picking.

Anti-semitism.

Yes @nomas I wonder the same thing.

😂😂
I'm laughing, but some people probably believe that!
