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 level of stupidity / ignorance on this thread is mind blowing.

The 'third man' was his friend. He was in his house.

And he didn't die. In fact he wasn't even hospitalised. He suffered minor injuries.

He only told authorities about the attack when he saw what his friend had done on the news.

Well the thing is when attacks against Muslim people occur they don’t get the press that other attacks do.

If you’re talking about the protection of Jewish people, well maybe some people understand that there should be a lot more than 300,000 if another antisemitic leader hadn’t annihilated 6 million Jews. Maybe decent people think that we need to do everything we can possibly do to stop that kind of hatred against Jews rising again! Maybe there are decent people in the world who learned from the Holocaust. Even Starmer is coming round and acknowledging that antisemitism has been allowed to go unchecked in this country. I understand this change of stance might not be to some people’s liking!

The other victim has not been "downplayed". It's all about when that information became available, and the context of the other attacks.
As you can see, it's been widely reported.

This thread has been set up for rage bait purposes.

OP, at least try to educate yourself before spewing out your ill informed opinion. It's people like you who contribute to unrest. You need to develop your comprehension, seek facts and learn how to think critically.

What is your evidence for that?

Lol, I think most people are getting sick of yours.

The authorities did not cover up there being a third victim. JFC.

They didn't know there was one until he came forward later and told the police the terrorist had tried to kill him in a different part of London. Thankfully, he only suffered minor injuries

As has been pointed out, the police mentioned this in their statement, media reports where it was included have already been linked and many have explained thr different contexts of the attacks

Best, surely, to accept you were mistaken rather than tryi6to make this into something it isn't

That is utter foundation less nonsense. Give examples!

No one is trying to erase the other victim! It has been covered in all media, but it isn’t being covered in the same way as the other two attacks, because … IT ISNT THE SAME AS THE OTHER TWO ATTACKS.

None of the three attacks were random. One was a personal dispute, and the other two were targeted because they were Jewish. This wasn’t a man attacking random people who just so happened to be Jewish.

It’s actually wild OP, that you can’t see your statement is in fact trying to erase and deny the antisemitic nature of these attacks. It’s on par with ‘I have black friends so I can’t be racist’ …. like ‘oh, he stabbed someone who was Muslim, so it cant be antisemitism (even though he didn’t stab that first man BECAUSE he was Muslim)’

You need to take a long look in the mirror OP and realise that you’re the bigot here.

Am surprised Mumsnet hasn't deleted this thread or at least removed many of the posts.

It's FULL of misinformation. The OP seems to be antisemitic.

I mean, at least the OPs stance has been shown to be utter foundationless bollocks.

I wonder if the comments would be different if Essa Suleiman's first victim had been a woman?

Apparently so.

A random psycho stabbed someone in his household then he travelled nearly ten miles, which Google tells me takes about half an hour, he didnt stab anyone else on the way, he waited until he got to Golders green then he stabbed 2 Jewish men.

But that was totally random and his journey to the area of london most known for its large jewish population, followed by him stabbing 2 Jewish people was coincidental. He just randomly picked a place to travel to that had nothing to do with anything and waited till he got there to stab randomly.

Ok then.

He stabbed someone he knew, which was a horrendous thing to do. he then travelled specifically to stab Jewish people which was also horrendous.

I don't understand what is to be gained by denying the obvious.

It makes zero sense for him to have travelled there unless he specifically wanted to stab people there .

I think it’s inappropriate - it’s minimising the serriousness of the incident particularly as it has been alleged that this person has a long history and was known to services and be a risk to the public. If these allegation are true - it means that authorities may not have done enough safeguarding - probably related to the funding cuts.

If Kier Starmer/Met Police issued statements about a terror attack in London where 3 people were attacked they would be criticised for inflating the numbers as only two people were targeted because of their race/faith, the third was a personal dispute. Do you genuinely not see that? I say all this as someone who is usually very quick to scrutinise/doubt the police, gov and mainstream media.

What exactly has been "minimised"?

What is inappropriate specifically?

The mental gymnastics used for this bravo

Look, this man had just been released from a high security psychiatric ward for his mental health problem and he was living in a place for vulnerable adults in the circumstances he was in. I don’t know why our lical elections have been taken over by this incident to me it’s blowing out of proportion.

Can you name the three men who have died? Are you on the right thread?????

OP if I'm honest I don't think you're that upset about it, I think you're making a massive point to try and minimise the fact that there was another violent anti-Semitic attack.

The man is clearly mentally unwell but his illness and targets seem oddly specific all the same.

I’ve not watched loads of news the past few days and I’ve heard him mentioned several times?

or it’s a mentally unwell person who’s gone on a stabbing spree and two of the victims happen to be Jewish? The knee jerk reactions and disproportionate response yet again is doing no favours to anyone.
