How do prevent the rise of anti Semitic feeling in the UK?

Will the continuous marches in London lead to an environment where anti semitism becomes acceptable? There has been a massive rise in hate crime against Jews and surely in the UK we have a duty to prevent any platform which may lead to unjustified hatred of a group in the UK?

I feel we should feel pride we have a diverse society with a while range of ethnicities and religions but we should always act to encourage social cohesion by not allowing events that could contain messages of hate.

Although the support of the Palestinian people is absolutely reasonable in terms of free speech in a democratic society and it is reasonable to comment on the actions of the Israeli state at times the marches in a lot of major British cities have the danger of including terrorist apologists.

It's worrying and horrifying that he felt perfectly comfortable posting that so openly.

The Mike Freer case is also very disturbing. This is now active interference in our democracy.

"Revealed: Iran is recruiting British Muslims to spy on Jews and dissidents of the Tehran regime to gather information that may be used to carry out attacks on UK soil"

"Students are being openly bullied and harassed, shoppers in supermarkets are being intimidated when they buy kosher food and Jewish people are being told that we must denounce part of our identity - our connection to the Land of Israel.

Zionism is the belief that Israel has a right to exist, something which the vast majority of British Jews agree with

In practice, calling for Zionist students to be removed at Birmingham University means removing Jewish students, echoing the darkest times in European history"

One for the 'anti-Zionism isn't antisemitism actually' crowd.

"Leeds Uni now, a few hours after Leeds Jewish Society (JSoc) Hillel House was daubed with antisemitic graffiti.

"Thank you Houthis", a day after a Houthi court sentenced 13 to be executed for homosexuality.

This Jew-hate / anti-West rhetoric is now normalised".

This is a woman who had family murdered and taken hostage on 7/10. They name her so they know this. Brighton's so-called 'anti racists' are rotten to the core.

@etmoiandme that's despicable. What is happening to this country?

They also accused the chaplain at Leeds uni, by name, of being responsible for genocide. I believe him and his family have had to be moved to a safe house as a result.

@OhHelloTheres Yes, I also read that at least one Jewish student has now left the Uni because of the intimidation on campus. Poor kid.

Absolute idiots. Fair share of scarves there too. Cringe

@Februaryfeels virtue signalling at its best.

Australia rather than the UK, but utterly deplorable nonetheless

That's horrifying. And it's really not about anti-Zionism is it:

"In addition, many of the listed parties had never publicly supported Israel but had called for journalists who published antisemitic content to be reprimanded."

That's appalling

Good news on those protestors who had the paraglider pics on their coats though - convicted of terror offences. https://x.com/realbenbloch/status/1757412630518477285?s=61&t=U9XrcF693-JpMxeIueYG7g

Their defence was that the paragliders were an innocent symbol of peace.

I was just reading about the Soho incident

It chills my blood, not just the "comedian" who was a dick but the way the baying mob turned.

Just like pre war Europe.

I wonder how many mumsnetters were there

Case of the 'paragliders' at one of the first marches. Guilty.

Do you have a report of this/link? What was the one you read?

That's fair enough. I have my disagreements with Israel's strategy, very much so, but celebrating the Hamas attacks is plainly disgusting.
