European antisemitism on the march

[steevo]

Thanks to the institutional propaganda of the Left, lessons in history are not learned.

Protesters have attacked synagogues, smashed the windows of Jewish-owned business and torched others, in scenes disturbingly reminiscent of the 1938 Kristallnacht in France. The marchers have chanted “Jews to the gas chambers”, and Jewish people have been attacked on the streets of Berlin.

The Telegraph

Given the way that most of the mainstream media have covered the Israel/Palestinian conflict, the way that Hitler used the Jews as a scapegoat to justify the holocaust becomes ever clearer.

I notice the Telegraph article you link to presents the story from a 'holier than thou' standpoint. Yet I have seen quite a few articles from them that have completely skewed what's going on with Hamas and Gaza, and contributed to this anti-Semitism. For this reason I thought this category more fitting for your post Steevo

Really their hypocrisy is quite sickening.

Perhaps not the right thread, but the BBC Wales reported violent clashes between protesters from the "Stop the War" pro-Hamas campaign in Cardiff with none of the blame on the virulently anti-Semitic chanting (seen daily in The Hayes) but splitting it between those who were against this Rent-A-Mob and the police for not keeping them away from the march. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-28509791

Policing of violence at Cardiff Gaza protest 'poor'

Violence broke out as marchers made their way past bars on Mill Lane.

Police have been criticised over their handling of a protest march in Cardiff after video footage emerged of violence erupting during it.

Bar stools and glasses were thrown as 1,500 people opposed to Israel's military action in Gaza took part.

MP Stephen Doughty has raised concerns and a Newport councillor said South Wales Police's policing was "poor".

Two men were arrested but neither were from the rally and the force later defended its operation.

Ch Insp Dan Howe said: "The police were there to ensure the safety of everyone involved and the vast majority of people behaved in a calm and sensible way, however extra officers attended to provide reassurance to the community.

"Unfortunately not all of those in Cardiff yesterday afternoon were well-behaved and violence broke out with a small minority which disrupted an otherwise peaceful demonstration.

He added: "Disruption was kept to a minimum and the rally went on to conclude peacefully and we are grateful for the support we received from the local community."

Cardiff South and Penarth MP Stephen Doughty, who took part in the rally organised by Cardiff Stop the War Coalition, had earlier raised concerns over the policing.

Mr Doughty told BBC Wales: "I've had a number of conversations with the police about the events and I'm assured the police are investigating the matter thoroughly.

'Unpleasant things'

"There were police and PCSOs and they were monitoring the situation.

"I was taking part in the march and I witnessed the incident on St Mary Street.

"The march itself was very peaceful but there were some unpleasant things being said from outside and I think some guys were throwing things from outside the Walkabout.

"I didn't witness the incident on Mill Lane but I spoke to some people straight after saying glasses had been thrown. I phoned the police immediately."

Newport councillor Majid Rahman said the marchers heard racist chants as they made their way past Walkabout on St Mary Street before the violence erupted on Mill Lane.

"A lot of marchers were injured but because there was no police presence, the people who hurled glasses, tables and chairs got away with it," he said.

"South Wales Police were poor - it was a lack of presence.

"When I got back to City Hall, I saw two police officers then a van of police officers turned up, but by then it was too late because we were back safe at City Hall.

"The response was inadequate, it was poor and they need to answer for this."

After the rally a man, 22, from Caerphilly, was arrested for assault and a 33-year-old man from Pontypridd for affray.

Neither were from the rally group, police said.

Both have been bailed pending further inquiries and police are speaking to witnesses and examining footage of the event.

MP Stephen Doughty has raised concerns and a Newport councillor said South Wales Police's policing was "poor".

Only later in the article do we find out that the MP was attending this 'peace' rally, and the name of the Newport councillor is Majid Rahman, so we can fairly assume where his sympathies lie.

Looking at the video clip in the article there's a few things apparent. There is a lot of noise from the crowd walking past the bar but impossible to make out what is being said and by whom. It appears that liquid is thrown towards the marchers, followed by an object. Then a man comes from the marchers, leaps into the bar area and grabs a table and starts swiping people, some who were doing nothing but observing the goings on. You can see his Muslim mates from the march then start grabbing him and convince him to return, which he does.

What's clear is the BBC attribute all the blame to everybody else, but not the marchers, and they made no attempt to interview ANYBODY from the bar to hear their version of events.

The Pallys and their mates are ALWAYS the victim, regardless of truth.
