How Theresa May is missing the point in her rhetoric about clamping down on anti-Semitism

 

It's OK to fight anti-Semitism in the UK and we support the government policy in doing so.

 

Fighting against anti-Semitism should be done  along with fighting  discrimination in employment and access to services against black, Muslim, Jewish, Asian people and other UK minority ethnic communities. There is no difference between anti-Semitism and discrimination in employment and access to services and opportunities. All UK charity organisations that are were created to help black, Muslim, Jewish, Asian people and other UK minority ethnic communities are run by British white people  who raise money  for their own salaries. These white-run charities use UK migrants, refugees and ethnic minority communities to get funding from Trusts and Foundations, to get contracts from the government that benefit the white employees who work and run these charities. This is why the level of poverty is higher in all UK minority ethnic communities, especially in black, Muslim and Asian communities.

Press Association - Theresa May said recent events in Paris are a reminder of the terror threat faced by the UK

Theresa May has insisted efforts to wipe out anti-Semitism in the UK must be redoubled, amid safety fears among the Jewish community.

The Home Secretary said she never thought she would see the day when Jews living in Britain would say they were fearful of remaining in the country.

Speaking at an event to commemorate the Jewish people who died during the terror attacks in France, Mrs May said: "The dreadful events in Paris are a reminder of the serious terrorist threat that we face.

"The attack on a Jewish supermarket, where four people were killed, is a chilling reminder of anti-Semitism, not just in France but the recent anti-Semitic prejudice that we sadly have seen in this country.

"I know that many Jewish people in this country are feeling vulnerable and fearful and you're saying that you're anxious for your families, for your children and yourselves.

"I never thought I would see the day when members of the Jewish community in the United Kingdom would say they were fearful of remaining here in the United Kingdom.

"And that means we must all redouble our efforts to wipe out anti-Semitism here in the United Kingdom."

Mrs May said Britain would not be Britain without its Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, Christians and people of other faiths.

She told the event in London: "In Europe, of course, we have seen large numbers of Jewish people emigrate and others are questioning their future.

"There have been other attacks as well, the like of which we never thought we'd see again in Europe - in Brussels, of course, where four people were shot and killed at a Jewish museum and in Toulouse, where three children and a teacher were murdered at a Jewish school.

"So I want to say this: Jewish people have long been an important and integral part of this country, we cherish the contribution you make, not just in the past but today and every day.

"Following those attacks in Paris we saw a tremendous expression of unity as people came together in solidarity with the victims of France, people in countries all over the world repeating 'Je suis Charlie', 'Je suis Ahmed', 'Je suis juif'.

"But the most important quote I heard I think was from French prime minister Manuel Valls, who said: 'If 100,000 Jews leave, France will no longer be French, the French Republic will be judged a failure.'

"It is a sentiment I well understand, one that holds true for Britain.

"Without its Jews, Britain would not be Britain, just as without its Muslims, Britain would not be Britain - without its Sikhs, Hindus, Christians and people of other faiths, Britain would not be Britain."

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.
The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
When the white man came we had the land and they had the bibles; now they have the land and we have the bibles.
