You got there before me nomas

I really don’t understand why so many people are derailing here ?!

What’s going on
Does no one give a toss about the first person that was killed
How utterly disrespectful !

@Lilacflowers2
“We don’t yet know what the motives were for any of the stabbings”
’We’ may not, but the police know more than the general public. Counter terror has investigated, and following that, the perpetrator has been charged. It’s wilfully ignorant to pretend no-one has any idea what the suspect’s motives might be when he travelled to a Jewish area to attack Jewish strangers. There’s nothing ‘odd’ about it. Police have reason to believe terrorist motives, suspect charged, trial will be held then general public will know more details.
“It’s entirely possible that the stabbing of two of the recent victims was due to them being Jewish, but it is also entirely possible that it was not, or that the man was so unwell that he wasn't capable of acting with any clear motive”. Again, this will come out at trial but he travelled to a Jewish area to attack Jews, and just as if someone went to mosque to attack Muslims, we can be say on the balance of probability there’s a racial motive behind it. Whether there’s a terrorist motive depends on whether there’s an intent to advance a political, religious, racial or ideological cause by using violence. Again, the police and counter-terror, in course of investigation, clearly believe this to be the case.

Why do you believe there to be something strange or unusual afoot?

“however strongly people feel about fighting antisemitism, it is not a good idea to jump to conclusions or to treat attacks against one particular group as more serious than attacks against others”

What you have missed, or perhaps do not care to acknowledge, is that the very real threat against the Jewish community is of a particular nature, and rising fast, not least because it is backed by powerful state actors (Iran). These incidents are becoming more and more common. It’s not about treating anybody of a particular group differently, it’s about responding to different threats which affect different groups differently. Just like the threat of violence to women and girls involves different factors to e.g. male on male violence . We try to tackle all contributing factors to reduce violence.

please ask yourself, why is that so offensive to you?

The new definition of terrorism means someone does not have to commit terrorist acts in the name of an ideology. This was as a result of the Southport murders, where the perpetrator was not following an ideology.

The fact so many useful idiots are rocking up to this thread thinking people have been killed, over several days apparently and trying to minimise anti semitism, cannot research that the victims in Golders Green were wearing clothing identifying them as Jewish and can’t see the first victim being mentioned multiple times in the media, by police and in court suggests they are willing to believe anything they read in their algorithm curated echo chamber. We need to start prosecuting these people stirring up antisemitism on the internet. Thankfully the worm appears to have turned in Government and we can hopefully now expect more powers to cut down these antisemites spewing out their lies and hatred.

By the way the BBC is reporting the alleged suspect was treated by the Jewish ambulance service at the scene. Says everything

Here's the hate crime data if you look at it per capita, which is the only relevant criteria

We have, as always, to be careful about stats. There is credible evidence that attacks on Muslims are vastly under-reported.

Kidsrold · 02/05/2026 16:51

Honestly. Would you be posting this if the other victims weren’t Jewish? This whole post seems like veiled antisemitism to me. Like you are trying to pretend that the problem with antisemitism isn’t as bad as it is.
The truth is this is a terrifying time to be Jewish in this country. I’m not Jewish but I live in an area with many Jewish families and they are scared. There has been a massive uprising of antisemitism- and it’s disgusting. Whatever your agenda for trying to downplay it - it doesn’t change reality.

Oh my god. We have to be careful about stats... except stats that support your ideology, right?

It is a fact that vastly more hate crimes are commited against Jews per capita than any other group. Why can't you accept that? Really, sit with that question for a moment.

samthepigeon · 02/05/2026 16:20

We don't know if it is a terror-related stabbing. We don't know the facts. We do know he stabbed three people, that luckily none of them were fatal (probably due to using a short-bladed knife not a machete/zombie knife), that he had mental health issues. That really is as good as it gets at the moment. We also have to remember that terrorism has been redefined after the Southport killings, so that an ideology does not have to be a motivation.

Except we do know that it was terrorism as the counter terrorism police have stated it is

Watch the police cam footage please and you will see your comments are not relevant

He was on the ground face down
Shaking within seconds un fact of being first tasered

He had the Police officer shouting at him to release the knife whilst he’s being tasered and another officer on his back whilst the one with the taser is kicking his head

What the hell !!!!

This is some stupid police officer that should not have a right to use a taser
He should know you cannot move your muscles when being tasered

I believe the police are ‘investigating themselves’

So no
This is pure police brutality although perhaps through stupidity rather than deliberate intent to hurt. I don’t know but

whatever the reason
It is never acceptable to act like this and
we should never accept such a police force

I've already watched the footage and the attacker is still holding the knife which a police officer and a member of the public are desperately trying to get him to release. This occurs after he has been tasered. It's all very well shouting about 'police brutality' when you're not the one in immiment danger of being stabbed or blown up.

Imdunfer · 02/05/2026 16:56

OP you are coming across as antisemitic on this thread, in good company with some other posters.

These crimes have been covered in full in many media sources including the BBC 6 o'clock news.

He stabbed an Islamic friend who he had known for 20 years in anger, then went out and targeted two Jewish men who were completely unknown to him identify them by their clothing.

It was a teeny weeny little knife. Unnecessary overkill by the police. Even if it was a samurai sword they weren't justified in kicking a tasered man in the head
