"UK terror threat level is set to go up in the wake of Golders Green double stabbings"'Officials are expected to announce later today that the threat to the UK from all forms of terrorism will move from ‘substantial’ to ‘severe’, meaning an attack is now highly likely.The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC) is expected to announce that it has taken the decision to raise the level after a series of attacks on the Jewish community in recent weeks, culminating in the double stabbing of two Jewish men in Golders Green yesterday.Shabana Mahmood is set to make a statement setting out the reasons why it is necessary to upgrade the terrorism threat level, following concerns that ***the level of anti-Semitism in Britain has become a ‘national emergency***’.'A rich and sophisticated country with a large police force and an even larger army isforced to cower in the face of foreign Islamic terrorists and their British fellow travellers.'Two Green Party candidates are arrested on suspicion of stirring up racial hatred 'after posting anti-Semitic comments online'Two Green Party candidates were arrested this morning on suspicion of stirring up racial hatred after allegedly posting anti-Semitic comments online.The Metropolitan Police detained the two women aged 54 and 57 in London under section 19 of the Public Order Act before taking them into custody for questioning.The posts allegedly included messages such as 'England has a government overrepresented with Zionists Jews' and 'Ramming a synagogue isn't anti-Semitism. It's revenge.'I wonder how well the Green Party will do in West Putney in the local elections ?

Steven'John, having known Richard Carter for years, I can assure you that he is not personally anti-Semitic nor does he support Hamas or Iran or any of the other enemies of Israel and I am sure that he accepts that Israel has a right to exist.'But "If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably is a duck" surely applies to someone who repeatedly posts anti-Israel (in reality anti-Jewish) sentiment that are thence easily interpreted as those of an antisemite.And if he supports the right of Israel to exist why does he not come right out and say so ?He is either playing the cocky naughty schoolboy making snide comments behind the back of his hand in class but will not speak out loud, or in fact you are wrong and he does not accept the right but is too frit to declare such an opinion openly.And it begs the question why it is just Israel he seems so critical of and to have such a hatred of.He once ate some dodgy chopped liver or he just does not like Jews ? When all can obviously see the appalling governance, mess and carnage caused by and going on in Middle Eastern Islamic states and others in Africa, he picks on thriving, democratic Israel.But you are right in grouping him amongst the puerile, immature left over this issue.One which in reality is of no concern to this country in general (other than Israel provides us with intelligence on potential Islamic terror attacks), and one which would come in at about position 153 in a list of what people will concern themselves with at the ballot box next month.

Mr Carter'Now, perhaps you can stop the whataboutery and get back to the actual subject of this thread?'Yes indeed.It concerns the rising tide of antisemitism world wide and in the UK.Driven by Islamic fanatics and terrorists who, according to the government and Met police are funded by and often proxies of Iran, a country to which I am sure you give tacit support to purely because of your susceptibility to TDS.And of course antisemitism is given cover if not encouraged by the criticism and bias, not always 'unconscious', by the likes of you who for months have posted nothing but bile and calumny regarding the actions of Israel.Israel, a country under proven existential threat by Palestinians and other Islamic groups and tribes that occupy the territories that surround it.Don't you feel ashamed that your words have encouraged attacks on British Jews who have attacked no one in this country and have contributed so much to what is positive and beneficial to it ?How many Jewish gangs have attacked and molested British women and girls ?But to be fair Muslim immigrants have given us the doner kebab and phone 'n vape shops.Now many British Jews fear to walk the streets of their homeland and face verbal attacks by left wing extremists particularly in the Green Party. And you have helped give rise to that fear.As have the extreme and bizarre comments from Francesca Albanese - UN rapporteur for Palestine, in her investigation into 'human rights abuses in Palestinian territory'.https://www.spiked-online.com/2026/04/29/these-blood-libels-are-endangering-jews/"There is not a scintilla of evidence for Albanese’s heinous tale of Israelis shoving men’s faces into toilets and then instructing dogs to rape them. She seems to have got it from Owen Jones of the Guardian, who has spent the past week mainstreaming this grotesque, evidence-free story. ‘Israel is raping Palestians with dogs’, says the headline to his piece, as he invites readers to think of this bigoted canard as absolute truth".Do you believe this to be true Mr Carter ?(BTW is there a UN rapporteur for Israel ? Because of the continuous threats and attacks it lives under, surely there should be ?)She further writes - "'Nothing justifies what Israel is doing'"'In recent weeks, Albanese issued a series of letters urging other countries to pressure Israel, including through sanctions, to end its deadly bombardment of the Gaza Strip. She also has been a strong supporter of arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court against Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for allegations of war crimes.Albanese said at a news conference last year that she has "always been attacked since the very beginning of my mandate," adding that criticism wouldn't force her to step down."It just infuriates me, it pisses me off, of course it does, but then it creates even more pressure not to step back," she said. "Human rights work is first and foremost amplifying the voice of people who are not heard."(The Palestinian voice is not heard !) (sic)She added that "of course, one condemned Hamas — how not to condemn Hamas? But at the same time, nothing justifies what Israel is doing."Note the mealy mouthed criticism of the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas compared to the vitriolic condemnation of Israel.Finally I ask you for the fifth, sixth (?) time -1) Do you think Israel has the right to exist as a sovereign state within its current boundaries ?
