Links - 29th May 2026 (2 - Palestine/Middle East Peace [including Golders Green Attack])

Meme - honestreporting: "LONDON, 2026. Two Jews stabbed. Two synagogues fire bombed. A Jewish charity targeted. Four Jewish ambulances torched. A Jewish-owned shop set on fire. Terrorists don't target Israeli policies. They target Jewish neighborhoods. Jewish businesses. Jewish life. THEY HUNT JEWS."

Times Radio on X - "“Globalising the intifada means trying to kill Jews, which is what people are now doing.” Daniel Finkelstein reacts to the Golders Green stabbing. @Dannythefink | #TimesRadio"
David Frum on X - "Amendment: "Globalize the Intifada" means "It's too difficult and dangerous to kill Jews powerfully protected by Israel's defense forces, so let's try kill them instead where they are half-heartedly protected by unsympathetic governments and weak police.""

Politics UK on X - "🚨 BREAKING: The Golders Green terror attack suspect is called Essa Suleiman He is a Somali translator who has a history of violence, including stabbing two police officers and a police dog in 2008"
Ned Donovan on X - "I can’t think of a single country other than Britain that would allow you to stab two police officers and then grant you citizenship."

Zarah Sultana MP on X - "The stabbing of two Jewish men in Golders Green today is deeply shocking and a stark reminder of the very real danger antisemitism poses on our streets.  My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and the wider Jewish community.  No one should be targeted because of their faith."
J.K. Rowling on X - ".@zarahsultana I assume this is a different Zarah Sultana MP to the one who was recently filmed clapping along to loudspeaker chants for intifada, on a street in Surrey."

Maryam Aldossari on X - "The mask has dropped. J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling stayed silent through two years of mass slaughter in Palestine, and now chooses to conflate antisemitism with anti-Zionism while smearing those who speak out @zarahsultana . That is deliberate."
If you're against Jews being attacked, you're a terrible person

Meme - Eylon Levy @EylonALevy: "Maybe because he's still holding the knife and might have a suicide vest, you stupid cow."
Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu: "Contemptible abuse of police power. Why kick him in the head several times when he's already tasered & in your control? Should he not be alive to be brought to justice in a court of law for stabbing 2 Jews??!! Disgusting."
The people who claim that using force to subdue someone with a knife and possible suicide vest is police brutality are the same people who claim that Israel is conducting genocide, so that tracks. But of course they don't care about non-Western countries doing it

Golders Green proved the value of tough officers, but that's not the Met's view - "The courage of the police officers and members of the public who confronted the Golders Green attacker is beyond doubt.  The footage is a stark reminder of what policing actually involves: sudden violence, split-second decisions, and physical risk. Yet even in the face of a vicious knife attack, some commentary has rushed to condemn the officers rather than the man wielding the weapon. That instinct betrays a failure by some to take public safety seriously.  The Metropolitan Police Commissioner was right to push back, noting that apprehending violent criminals is “a full-contact and messy task”. It is. And it always has been. But beyond this there is a deeper problem in British policing – one of priorities – for both politicians and police leaders.  For decades, many in politics and policing have placed growing emphasis on visible representation and perception, even as the threats on our streets have become more acute. The residents of Golders Green, like most people in Britain, do not care about the demographics of the officers who come to their aid. They care that those officers and their bosses are competent, capable and prepared. And too often, policing falls short.  The failures being exposed by the Nottingham Inquiry – following the murders of Barnaby Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates – were not failures of representation. They were failures of competence, capability and preparedness. Policing is, at its core, a combination of people and capability. Britain is currently underpowered on both. Officers are too often let down by what sits behind them: too few functioning custody suites, inconsistent access to Tasers, limited firearms availability, weak sentencing and leadership cultures that often prioritise signalling over substance. The result is a service that asks officers to confront serious violence and improve public safety without consistently equipping them and backing them to win. Some of this sits in the hands of politicians. But some of it is fully in the gift of policing’s leaders.  Take fitness. Physical standards have declined over time, despite the job remaining a physical-contact sport. Lowering standards is not a progressive reform – it is a direct risk to officers and to the public. Policing should be raising the bar, not lowering it.  Or take recruitment. Despite high-profile cases of criminal officers in recent years, British policing still lacks the kind of screening seen in leading departments such as the New York Police Department or Los Angeles Police Department... The College of Policing’s own material shows that around 60 per cent of participants in the job analysis stage used to design these assessments were from ethnic minority backgrounds – a proportion far removed from the composition of both the police service and the wider population. The process also included review by a “diversity expert”.  This does not automatically invalidate the tests. But it does raise a legitimate question: are these systems designed first and foremost to identify the best possible police officers – or to achieve other aims? When the system used to select police officers prioritises “emotional awareness” over more practical capabilities – reasoning, spatial awareness, problem-solving – it may achieve one legitimate objective – but at the expense of others that matter just as much. That matters. Because once set, these systems will shape the police workforce for years to come."

Greens deputy leader shared conspiracy theory over Golders Green attack - "Rachel Millward, the Green Party co-deputy leader, has shared a conspiracy theory about the Golders Green attack in which two Jewish men were stabbed.  Ms Millward shared a post on X, which claimed a third victim on the day, who was Muslim, had been “erased” from news stories to “suit a weaponised, desperate narrative”... in the private message group of Greens for Palestine, one activist had called Jewish people an “abomination to this planet”, while another said Jews “murder, bomb and starve” children.  Another claimed the arson attack on four ambulances owned by a Jewish charity in Golders Green in March had been a “false flag” operation, suggesting it could have been carried out by Jewish people... the Green Party was investigating more than 30 council candidates over alleged anti-Semitism."

Double stabbing of Jewish men in London was terrorism, police say | CBC News : r/anime_titties - "Ironically enough, the attacker was treated by a jewish ambulance.  They got attacked by islamists earlier, accused of helping only jews.  And yet they still serve anyone in need"
Eyal Yakoby on X - "BREAKING: The suspect is being treated by Hatzola paramedics. He just tried to cut the throats of two Jews people. Remember last month when the internet said Hatzola only treats jews? Well they’re currently treating a man who attempted to stab jews."
Some cope I saw was that they hide their contact number so non-Jews won't be able to access them, but multiple people easily found their contact number, which was published on the open internet. Terrorist supporters just hate Jews

Fury as Greens leader Zack Polanski suggests cops were too heavy-handed apprehending 'terrorist' on antisemitic rampage - "The left-winger retweeted a post condemning the cops for kicking the suspect in the head when he refused to drop his weapon...   Mr Polanski, who is Jewish, was already under fire for remarks about the British Jewish community’s “perception of unsafety”...   The terror stabbing sparked calls for action – including demands to ban pro-Palestine marches – to tackle what experts branded the “biggest national emergency since Covid”... local MP Sarah Sackman, a justice minister, and Scotland Yard chief Sir Mark Rowley were given a hostile reception at the scene. Their TV interviews were drowned out by shouts from locals of “resign” and “shame on you”.  Antisemitic episodes have jumped in the two-and-a-half years since the October 7 Hamas invasion and Israel’s subsequent conflict in Gaza.  Ministers have been accused of failing to clamp down on expressions of antisemitism at the regular pro-Palestine rallies.   Stephen Silverman from the Campaign Against Antisemitism said last night: “The politicians who have had the ability to do something about it, such as the Prime Minister and Sadiq Khan, have done nothing.   “So when we listen to his words of concern and sympathy, our question to him is – what have you done to prevent this? How will you actually stop this? Can you even name the cause of it?  “I did not hear him mention the fact that this is all being driven by uncontrolled Islamist extremism in this country, fueled and supported by ideologues on the radical left”.  He said that politicians including those in the last Tory government have “a tremendous amount to answer for”.  Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis said the stabbing must be a reckoning that triggers “meaningful action”...   The Government’s terrorism tsar Jonathan Hall said the rise in antisemitism was “the biggest national emergency since Covid” as he called for a ban on anti-Israel demos.  He told Times Radio: “It pains me to say this, but I think we may have reached a point where we need to have a moratorium on the sorts of marches that have been happening.   “It’s clearly impossible at the moment for any of these pro-Palestine marches not to incubate within them some sort of anti-Semitic or demonising language.”  It comes amid a sharp escalation in antisemitic attacks, with counterterror police already probing a string of arson incidents across north-west London in recent weeks.   Targets have included synagogues in Kenton and Finchley, a Jewish charity site in Hendon, and ambulances set alight in Golders Green, with officers investigating possible links to an Iran-backed network using criminal proxies.  It also follows last October’s Yom Kippur terror attack in Manchester, when a man rammed a car into worshippers before launching a knife rampage at a synagogue. Two Jewish men were killed while the attacker was shot dead by police.  This month the US Embassy in London issued a security alert warning of “recent attacks and threats” targeting Jewish and American institutions across the UK and Europe."
Weird. We're told that all Jews stick together, weaponise claims of anti-Semitism and support Israel unconditionally
Maybe the attacker will be acquitted by a jury again. Certainly, terrorist supporters are more upset about Palestine Action being banned than Jews being attacked in the streets
Of course, the "solution" is going to be cracking down on the "far right" and arresting Tommy Robinson again

It’s official (finally): Pro-Gaza zealots can’t break the law - "Finally, the law showed up. Just when it seemed that victims of Palestine Action’s campaign of criminal damage could no longer rely on the justice system to protect them, the courts drew a line.  The conviction of four members of the radical anti-Israel organisation, following an attack on an Elbit Systems factory in Bristol, sends a clear message: no matter how noble you consider your cause, being pro-Palestinian doesn’t give you a free pass to destroy private property.  This message is long overdue because, until now, it had seemed as though a keffiyeh, a double-barrelled name, and a towering sense of entitlement were impenetrable shields against the consequences of law-breaking.  If a group of council-estate lads began targeting the open borders industry with the same tactics Palestine Action deploys against Elbit and other Israeli organisations – smashing windows, defacing with paint, and otherwise damaging property – there would probably be a Cobra meeting every hour on the hour until this “far-Right militia” had been suppressed... Too many progressives look on Palestine Action’s tactics with indulgence when they aren’t revelling in the radical chic excitement of it all. They believe the ends justify the means, but only the ends pursued by their own side. Reasoned debate, tolerance and the rule of law are meant only to constrain the bad guys who disagree with them.  Britain has to show it is serious about dealing with the pro-Palestinian mob. If links to Israel make your firm fair game for the Elbit treatment, more and more firms will conclude that Britain is no longer a safe, reliable place to do business, and that will stretch far beyond defence manufacturers.  These convictions are welcome but modest in scale compared to the relentless onslaught of Palestinianism and its self-righteous criminality. Disrupting the production of the weapons by which democracies defend themselves is an assault on their very right to self-defence. Such assaults should incur a very heavy legal price. It’s good that the law showed up, but now it needs to crack down."

Suella Braverman has been proved right on the hate marches - "In the febrile debate about anti-Semitism, language matters.  The very meaning of the word “intifada” is now being pored over and redefined in order that those who previously brandished placards calling for it to be “globalised” might now worm their way out of having to take any responsibility for the fact that their demands have been heeded.  For whatever Islamists and their allies have to say about the “true” or “original” meaning of intifada, it has long been recognised for what it is: a clarion call to violence against Jews. The only change that has taken place in how “intifada” is defined is that it once meant killing innocent Jews in Tel Aviv; now it means killing them in Britain too. Those who cavil about its “true” meaning are like those Leftists who in 1982 had never heard of the Falklands but who, ever since, have referred to them as Islas Malvinas... The pro-Hamas marches have stained our streets on a weekly basis for years, launched whilst Hamas’s pogrom in southern Israel on October 7 2023 was still underway. But they have since focused on smearing Israeli troops and Israel itself for their response to Hamas terrorism. They have played a key role in making Jews feel unsafe in their own country and also in fomenting an increasing and deadly hatred of Jews among their participants... The last time a home secretary suggested the police ought not to have let pro-Palestinian marches go ahead in the centre of London, she was accused of “whipping up divisions” by none other than the then leader of the opposition, Keir Starmer. Suella Braverman, Starmer said in November 2023, had “demeaned her own office” by “sowing the seeds of hatred and mistrust”. The Labour leader called on the then prime minister, Rishi Sunak, to sack her. Now the Government’s own adviser on terrorism legislation, Jonathan Hall KC, has called for a “moratorium” on pro-Palestinian marches, adding it was “clearly impossible at the moment” for them not to “incubate” anti-Semitism. So far Starmer has not accused him of sowing division and mistrust. Neither have the Met been accused of demeaning their own office by making it clear that they are considering a ban on future marches in the city.  A frequent and unconvincing aspect of Starmer’s premiership has been his regular press statements in which he explains how “appalled” he is by the latest unprovoked attacks on Britain’s Jewish community. Someone even helpfully put together a thread of them on Twitter/X. Undoubtedly he is sincerely appalled. But what is he going to do about it? He has said in the past that he will do “everything” in his power to protect the Jewish community, but a ban on these well-named hate marches is within his power, yet he has refused to implement one. Before the general election, Starmer saw a political opportunity in attacking Braverman, now a Reform MP, deploying that over-used weapon so beloved of the Left – the sneering implication that those who oppose Islamism (as opposed to Islam) are offering succour to the “far Right”."

Kile B. Jones | Facebook - "Egypt doesn’t escape criticism because it’s innocent. It escapes because it’s inconvenient. Look at the map. Actually look at it. Gaza doesn’t just border Israel. It borders Egypt. Rafah is Egypt’s crossing. Egypt ran Gaza for nineteen years—locked Palestinians in, gave them no citizenship, no state, no way out. Then when Israel took Gaza in 1967, the clock started.  The outrage industry opened for business. Egypt quietly became background geography. And it gets worse. Egypt participated in the same blockade Israel gets condemned for daily.  OCHA documented Egyptian Rafah closures. The Congressional Research Service documented Egyptian-Israeli coordination on arms smuggling after Hamas seized power in 2007. This isn’t disputed history. It’s just history nobody reads aloud at a protest. The legal framework helps Egypt vanish. Human Rights Watch argued that Israel remained the occupying power over Gaza—airspace, coastline, population, imports. That argument is convenient twice: it pressures Israel, and it quietly walks Egypt out of the indictment while Egypt is physically standing at Gaza’s southern door. Egypt’s security reasoning gets treated as ordinary statecraft. Sinai terrorism. Arms smuggling. Muslim Brotherhood politics. Cairo explains the closures and serious people nod along. Israel offers the identical justification and the UN convenes an emergency session by Thursday. Same border logic. Completely different verdict. Nobody in the room finds that strange. Then there’s the part nobody says out loud. Egypt is useful. Ceasefire broker. Aid gatekeeper. Arab-state interlocutor. Everyone needs Cairo at some point—Western governments, the UN, Israel, Hamas, the Palestinian Authority. Condemning Israel costs you nothing. Alienating Egypt costs you the next negotiation, the next evacuation, the next hostage deal. So Egypt stays clean. But the activist reason is the simplest and the most damning. Egypt doesn’t fit the story. The moment Egypt gets named as co-enforcer, “open-air prison” stops being a clean moral headline and becomes a complicated regional problem involving Hamas governance, Sinai instability, tunnel networks, and a Palestinian Authority that hates Hamas almost as muc as Israel does. Complexity kills the slogan. So Egypt gets written out. Egypt isn’t absent from Gaza’s border history. Egypt is absent from the accusation because its presence would wreck the argument. The script was written before anyone looked at the map. The roles were assigned before the facts were checked. And if you point any of this out—if you say Egypt out loud in the wrong room—you already know what happens next. Antizionism finds a way."

Official Ohio State DG on X - "The University of Michigan has scrubbed the 2026 Commencement Video after President Grasso was seen applauding Derek Peterson’s words and agreeing with him. YIKES."
Adam Mossoff on X - "The intellectual and moral rot runs very deep in American universities. So does the moral cowardice of academic administrators when they're asked about or reveal their real beliefs. We saw this in spades in the House hearing two years ago run by Rep. Elise Stefnik (@EliseStefanik). Read her new book on this topic, "Poisoned Ivies.""
Charlie Anthony on X - "While I believe this is broadly true of major universities, Michigan is a public university that receives an appropriation from the state legislature.  They also receive over $1 billion of federal funding.  When permanent employees are espousing the virtues of terrorism at a commencement, how on earth is that institution to be trusted with public resources or sensitive knowledge developed from subsidized research activities?  The rot is specifically deep at the University of Michigan."

Adam Sellers on X - "The Palestinian FA president is a convicted terrorist who served 17 years in prison for throwing grenades at an Israeli bus. The Israeli Arab STILL offered him a handshake and peace which was rejected. This is the entire Middle East conflict."

Met police arrest two Green election candidates over alleged antisemitism - "UK news Met police arrest two Green election candidates over alleged antisemitism  Lambeth council candidates Saiqa Ali and Sabine Mairey understood to have been detained over social media posts Ben Quinn Political correspondent Thu 30 Apr 2026 18.13 BST Prefer the Guardian on Google  Two women standing as Green party candidates in the local elections have been arrested over alleged antisemitic social media posts.  The women, running in seats for Lambeth council, south London, were arrested by the Metropolitan police on Thursday morning.  The Green party declined to comment, citing the ongoing police inquiry, but the women are understood to be Saiqa Ali, a Lambeth Green candidate for Streatham St Leonard’s ward, and Sabine Mairey, who was standing in Lambeth’s Clapham Town... Ali’s Instagram account is set to private but screenshots indicated she had posted an image of an armed man wearing a headband of the banned Islamist group Hamas along with the slogan: “Resistance is freedom”.  Another screenshot indicated that Mairey had shared a post which included the text: “Ramming a synagogue isn’t antisemitism. It’s revenge.”
Damn persecution of "pro-Palestine" speech!
Holding all Jews responsible for anything any Jew has done is definitely not anti-Semitism, and to suggest otherwise is Islamophobia
We're still told that no one supports Hamas

Chico Muya on X - "Because people with a brain understood a couple things.
1) War is horrible.
2) The Palestinian people are completely brainwashed by death cult ideology. We saw—even civilians—celebrating over broken Israeli bodies. Some even took part in the October 7th massacre.
3) Hamas were using civilians as human shields. They were either forced, or were willing participants.
4) Israel was doing everything it could to mitigate civilian casualties—even if it limited the effectiveness of their strikes.
5) Hamas was 100% to blame—given legitimacy by the useful idiots calling it a “genocide”. It clearly wasn’t.
6) Hamas saw the outcry, and redoubled its efforts to sacrifice its people and use it as law fare.
7) These Hamas demons were holding hostages. So were some civilians, actually.
8) The “pro Palestine” movement is full of Jew hating, West hating freaks and Islamists who want to see Israel and America burn.
9) The “pro Palestine” is a pro terror movement, filled with liars who distort the truth.
10) Seeing civilians get hurt was horrific. But everyone had criticisms, no one had solutions—other than “Israel should reward them with a state”.
11) “Pro Palestine” people really don’t care about Palestinians. They just hate Israel.
We all saw the videos that Hamas filmed.  The 7th century barbarism.  The beheadings.  The grotesque joy they showed in tearing fellow humans apart.  The celebration at seeing dead Jews.  The putrid ideology that caused humans to act like beings less than animals.   I do not blame her for not saying anything. You pro terror fools would have tried to destroy her—if she said anything—other than full endorsement of your madness.  Your movement is one of hate and destruction. Your only solution is the destruction of Israel."
