The BBC is a weird place. The have a policy of always referring to terrorists as "militants", but they fire a guy for imaginary "anti-semitism". Edit: Oops, should have paid more attention, it's the The Guardian, not BBC. Also weird times in London. Jewish shops around me have been vandalized (not a hate crime according to the police [1] as opposed to the nazi pug). There have been people marching and shouting "We'll find the jews. We want their blood." [2]. It's the sort of thing you expect to see in black and white documentaries not in your neighborhood.

>> Jewish shops around me have been vandalized (not a hate crime according to the police [1] as opposed to the nazi pug). This is incorrect. The press claimed it was attacked due to the conflict, but the actual restaurant later released a statement that they believe it was a burglary attempt. Of course, the press didn’t retract their original articles so it was easy to miss unless you follow local news.

  Utter bullshit. There were two bridges vandalized with graffiti saying "Free Palestine" right next to it.

    I think I’ll trust the owners of the business who had access to CCTV rather than your guesswork. https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/pita-kosher-restaurant-burglary-not-antisemitism/ https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/pita-kosher-restaurant-burglary-n...
