OH, TO BE IN ENGLAND: Islamism, not the cost-of-living, is the root of this anti-Semitic violence.
On Thursday night, the day after the stabbing of two Jewish men in north London, Green Party deputy leader Rachel Millward was asked a simple question on the BBC’s Question Time. ‘You’ve stated you’ve seen racial hatred in this country’, said a member of the audience. ‘Could you please specify where that hatred is coming from?’

Basically, Millward’s response can be summarised as: supermarket prices and Nigel Farage are the reasons why Jews are being stabbed in London.
It isn’t hard to understand why Millward gave such a tortured and dishonest answer. Just hours before Question Time went to air, two Green Party candidates standing in next week’s council elections were arrested by Metropolitan Police officers on suspicion of stirring up racial hatred. It probably goes without saying that Saiqa Ali (a Muslim woman) and Sabine Mairey were not charged under Section 19 of the Public Order Act because they had posted inflammatory pictures of their latest receipt from Sainsbury’s. They were arrested for allegedly sharing anti-Semitic content.
Of course, Millward would have been in a bind even without these untimely arrests. Since the Green Party’s Islamo-leftist turn, there was never any chance that someone from the leadership would say anything critical of Islam, or even Islamic extremism.
Everyone with a pulse knows where the ‘racial hatred’ against Jews is coming from. A party awash with Islamist-inspired Jew hatred is never going to acknowledge this.
Meanwhile, back in the States, “You may recall the ‘Why Do They Hate Us’ campaign the left fired up immediately after the attacks to put blame on the US for the murder of 2,977 people on 9/11. That narrative was active by 9/12. And that was when the American left began its weird romance with Islam. Feminists seeing hijab and niqab, the suppression of women, as legitimate expressions of multiculturalism.”
