France? Germany? Egypt? Nope
The number of anti-Semitic attacks in London has risen sharply following Israel’s land assault on Gaza, Jewish community groups said today.
Their leaders have compiled a dossier of attacks against Jews which will be handed to seniors officers in the Metropolitan police.
The attacks include claims of:
- An attempt to burn down a synagogue in north-west London.
- An assault on a Jewish motorist who was pulled from his car and punched.Â
- A gang of youths chanting anti-Semitic slogans as they tried to enter restaurants and shops in Golders Green.
The Community Security Trust, which is responsible for the safety of Jews in Britain, has also noted the emergence of anti-Semitic graffiti in Jewish areas across London.
Slogans sprayed on walls include: ‘Kill Jews’ and ‘Jews are scumbags.’
The trust has now logged 24 anti-Semitic incidents – most of them in London – in the past week. Police are said to be stepping up patrols in Jewish areas.
Come on, Brits, you need to fight back against this type of madness.
Meanwhile, The Guardian tells us how everything that is bad in Gaza is Israel’s fault. I guess pulling out of the area and handing over the responsibility to the Palestinians was a bad thing, too.
Ah. And arabs & their allies tell us that they’re only anti-Israel, that they don’t hate Jews.
So much for arab rhetoric.
I’m afraid these award (popularity) contests are pretty much rigged or discredited, although blogs like yours need wider recognition and distribution.
Check Martin Kramer’s post up today at Sandbox and you’ll get the idea of how corrupted the Weblog Awards have become.
