"Extremely Serious!" | Record High Of 'Almost 2,000 Antisemitic Incidents' In 2024

Talk's Alex Phillips reacts to a charity saying there have been a record high of almost 2,000 antisemitic incidents taking place in the first half of this year.
The Community Security Trust (CST) said the 1,978 incidents from January to June are double the number for the same period last year (964) and the highest total reported in the first six months of any year.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper branded the levels of hate “truly appalling”.
The charity, which monitors antisemitism and provides security for the Jewish community in Britain, said rhetoric or imagery referencing Israel, Gaza, the Hamas attack or the war appeared in more than half - 1,026 - of the incidents recorded.
Alex says: "Where does this come from?!"

The biggest shame brought onto the UK is to have the Jewish community who are a tiny minority now openly discussing if they ought to leave because they have been made to feel unsafe. Having thousands of people on the streets of the UK openly calling for global Intifada for months on end without push back from the authorities… truly shameful.

[@serenitynowyolo]

Same thing happening in Australia. Our government are doing nothing

[@stephendoherty981]

@Kranebitter81 I go on those marches. And they're filled with Jewish people too!!! You can call our chants 'openly calling for global intifada' if that conforms to your Zionist, islamophobic worldview, but anybody I march with is calling for a end to the sickening genocide and slaughter of innocent people in Gaza. Go on, tell me there are no innocents in Gaza!! Is that what you types always say?

If I may, a party is not an identity. That’s the propaganda and brain washing we have all been through. You should not define yourself as a democrat, but define your beliefs and values. Choose your party according to who is in sink with them. You should carefully! Listen to both sides read their programs and then only make up your mind. It is not a curse to be a republican, it is not a curse to be right wing when the left has gone so far. You can choose and switch sides and it does not’ make you a fascist, just a person with a brain who understands that things have gone out of hand.

It is because of their ideology that they learned in university, many people call it woke, many of the ideas are anti liberal, marxist ideas and framing but applied to race and sex, seeing everyone as oppressor or oppressed, minorities are by default the oppressed, so that makes the majority oppressors, simplistic lens, so this makes people hyper focused on any slights to minorities, including "micro aggressions" and the majority are assumed to be racist and oppressors so they are treated as such, ignored, treated differently, policed differently etc there is more to it but that is the general basis of their world view. This makes them believe in institutional racism, any disparity between groups in a given area, is assumed to be due to racism, example, more black women die in child birth, are the nurses letting black women die because the nurses are racist, or is it because more black women are obese and this contributes to poorer health and more risks during child birth, no no no it must be racism...
