Britain must wake up to the reality of Islamist – Latest News
The vile assault on a Manchester synagogue on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar needs to be a blaring wake-up call to the United Kingdom that Islamist extremism is out of hand.
Antizionists screaming “Globalize the Intifada!” have spent the final two years insisting that their fervid requires the elimination of Israel don’t have anything to do with antisemitism — certainly, that it’s offensive to recommend in any other case.
Their protests, you see, are motivated solely by humanitarian issues.
But if any brilliant line ever divided principled opposition to the struggle in Gaza from outright hatred of Jews, the “Free Free Palestine” crowd is doing a good job of erasing it.
Within hours of Jihad al-Shamie’s (yes, that’s actually the alleged terrorist’s title) murderous assault, violent protests broke out throughout Britain.
Apologists for Islamist terror jumped in to clarify that these riots had been simply a response to the “genocide” in Gaza, or the interdiction of the newest “aid” flotilla.
But how does that specify the chants in London of “Khaybar, Khaybar ya yahud! Jaysh Muhammad soufa ya’oud!” (Khaybar, Khaybar, look out Jews! Muhammad’s military’s coming quickly!”)
This ditty recollects the Battle of Khaybar in 628, when Muhammad conquered a Jewish tribe, and have become fashionable as a Hamas battle music during the First Intifada.
Indeed, it’s apparent that to the tens of 1000’s of Islamists on the UK terror watchlist — and to many Hamas supporters round the world — Jews worshipping in English synagogues would possibly as properly be serving in the Israeli military.

That’s what they imply by “Globalize the Intifada.”
They need to carry the battle in opposition to Zionism and “settler colonialism” to the streets of the West.
But the supine UK police spend their time investigating schoolgirls and retirees for “public order” offenses based mostly on social-media posts that nameless tipsters declare “disturbed” them.
This is the identical nation that bent to this point backward to keep away from any whiff of “racism” that its police for years coated up and enabled the mass rape of younger English women by gangs of South Asian “groomers.”
And the present Labour authorities has been pouring fuel on the fire, with its incessant smearing of Israel’s struggle effort; we had been glad to see one of the worst offenders, Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy, met by outraged booing as he spoke at a service for Manchester victims.
More of that, please: The British have a significant issue on their fingers.
And in the event that they don’t deal with it quickly, the Manchester Yom Kippur assault will show to be solely a prelude.
