It is ‘genuinely dangerous to be Jewish’ near Gaza marches in London and other cities today, Michael Gove warned as he accused pro-Palestinian protesters of turning a blind eye to ‘lurid demonstrations of anti-Semitism’.
In a major speech at a Jewish community centre today, the Communities Secretary raised the spectre of Nazi Germany, warning that attacks on Jews were often ‘the canary in the mine’ for the state of a nation.
Mr Gove urged the pro-Palestine march organisers and “good people taking part” to take further action to prevent anti-Jewish hate symbols from being shown by certain participants in the marches.
He said Jews were unable to be ‘their authentic selves’ near the marches and while many protesters are ‘thoughtful, gentle, compassionate people’, they are ‘side by side with those who are promoting hate’.
In recent weeks, one man has been arrested for carrying a placard emblazoned with a swastika, while police sparked outrage by telling a Jewish woman that the notorious Nazi symbol was ‘not necessarily anti-Semitic’.
Mr Gove further attacked demonstrations on college campuses, questioning if comparable demonstrations against China, Syria, or Burma’s violations of human rights had not taken place. He brought up the fact that Syrian tyrant Bashar al-Assad was the only person to have killed more Muslims in the recent past.
The Cabinet minister described anti-Semitism as the ‘common currency of hate’ that is shared by the Far Right, the Hard Left, and Islamists and attacked the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement as ‘explicitly anti-Semitic’.
Mr Gove’s speech came ahead of the publication of a long-trailed report by the government’s independent adviser on political violence, Lord Walney.
Lord Walney accused authorities of being ‘insufficiently robust’ with groups on the left.
In a long-awaited report today, he said groups like Just Stop Oil, who make lawbreaking a central part of their modus operandi, should face serious curbs on their fundraising and be liable to legal action from disrupted businesses.
He also proposed changing the legislation to make it simpler for police to deny permission for large-scale gatherings, with an eye towards pro-Palestine demonstrations. The groups could also be made to pay a portion of the costs associated with upholding the legislation.
He also recommended that governments look at outlawing rallies outside the Houses of Parliament in the heart of London to protect MPs from harassment, which may be the most contentious aspect of the report.
Based on the visas granted, our government is bringing in 1.2 million illegal immigrants annually. Since Brexit, there has been no improvement, and the British people are now a minority.
It is time to outlaw all forms of public protest. We can protest all we want thanks to social media, and here’s Michael Gove along with his buddies who turn a blind eye to the consequences of mass migration.
Thousands of people enter the country illegally every year, yet this is legal migration, approved by our government. Rishi Sunak could halt this influx tomorrow, but he won’t since voting and cheap work are two benefits that illegal immigrants provide, and the anti-semitic, fascist, hate-filled rhetoric that’s spewing out of the mouths of these protesters is truly sickening and terrifying, and frighteningly reminiscent of Germany in the 1930s.
The UK is becoming a Muslim country and we are becoming like Germany—never again, which means never again.
London has become a no-go zone for decent people when these hate marches take place, and they’re costing the taxpayer millions and millions of pounds to police and clean up after them.
