You may not agree with me, but you will always know where you stand with me. Today in Billericay, a heckler tried to shout me down as I spoke about the normalisation of hatred towards Jews. I did not back down, because it needs to be said. British Jews are being targeted and too many people are pretending this is the same experience of other minorities. This lady implied Muslims are being similarly targeted. This is simply not true. Let's be honest about what is happening. Certain groups (in particular but not solely Islamic Extremists) are creating a climate of fear and intimidation that is normalising Jew hatred. I will never stand for that. Governments have spent too long hand-wringing, making excuses and hoping it would go away. It is time to call this what it is: a national emergency in our attitude, our urgency and our response. I will always engage with people who disagree with me. That is politics. But there is a difference between argument and intimidation. Shouting does not make a bad case good. It's done to silence others. And it certainly does not change the truth. The truth is that British Jews have been made to feel less safe in their own country. Our country. They are being singled out, threatened and harassed in ways that should shame everyone in public life. If we do not stand up now and stop this rise in antisemitism, then why bother saying "Never Again" at Holocaust Memorial Day? Because this is how it starts. I am not prepared to play along with the pretence that this is normal, or manageable, or just another example of tension between groups. It really is not. It is targeted hatred and it is getting worse. So my message is simple. Not here. Not in Britain. And not on our watch. We need to stop the hand-wringing and start doing the right thing. That means standing with British Jews openly, unapologetically and without fear.

The possible next Prime Minister of Israel, Naftali Bennett, says the U.S. could face another 9/11-style terroist attack unless Americans understand why they must fight wars Israel demands. He says terrorists could even nuke the United States of America without Israel being an ally. “I was in Manhattan when it happened. I saw those buildings on fire.” “That’s what happens when you say the Middle East isn’t our problem.”

Flotilla members are dancing like sexy terrorists and making the Hamas triangle symbol to try and free their leaders. I don’t think this is helping.

THIS. IS. INCREDIBLE. 131 yrs. ago Alfred Dreyfuss, falsely accused of espionage, was stripped of his French army rank: lieutenant-colonel. Last week, Uriel Dreyfuss, a direct descendant of Alfred, was promoted to the IDF rank of…lieutenant colonel!! The nation of Israel lives!

Following the Golders Green attack, Met Police representatives met with organisers of the Nova memorial exhibition to discuss security arrangements. The exhibition, commemorating the 413 party-goers murdered by Hamas at the Nova festival on 7 October, has already toured 10 international cities and is set to open in London later this month. In light of recent attacks on Jewish sites across the city, police have asked organisers not to disclose the venue's location until closer to opening day. The site will operate under heightened security, with an increased presence of officers and guards.
