Imagine my surprise when I heard 5Live telling us in concerned tones that anti-Semitism was on the rise in universities. I was surprised because it was not four weeks ago that I was posting about the BBC scrambling to put out a counter to claims that anti-Semitism was rife at universities. I guess the BBC didn’t want our Christmas to be spoiled with all those claims reminding us that the Jews killed Jesus.
Four weeks on and, well, it’s not really the BBC’s choice of subject, it’s a Jewish guest editor’s choice….the BBC really are getting all diverse and multicultural. Oh..hold on…she maybe Jewish almost certainly left-leaning and of a BBC persuasion…anyone who uses the words ‘uplifting’ and ‘privileged’ is definitely suspect. Suspicions unfortunately confirmed by just about every other word. She’s a guest editor on the BBC for a reason.
So anti-Semitism is rising in universities? Well not in this alternate universe. The BBC seems to have found another Jewish student in complete denial or too scared to tell the truth.
Anti-Semitism is rising in universities not because of fellow students, of whatever ideological persuasion, but because of outsiders, neo-Nazis, Fascists, the Far-Right…..and of course Islamophobia is a concern for her. In fact Jews and Muslim students get along just fine….people who face the same oppression must unite our guest editor tells us.
She tells us of some graffiti that said ‘Hitler was right’. Hmmm…Seem to remember that’s something that comes out of the mouths of highly respected moderate Muslim preachers…..
Sheikh Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi: Throughout history, Allah has imposed upon the [Jews] people who would punish them for their corruption. The last punishment was carried out by Hitler. By means of all the things he did to them – even though they exaggerated this issue – he managed to put them in their place. This was divine punishment for them. Allah willing, the next time will be at the hand of the believers.
Still, it’s got to be those neo-Nazis, not a single word about Muslim anti-Semitism nor indeed Labour Party anti-Semitism.
Nihal expressed surprise at the graffiti and said he couldn’t believe that in 2017 this was the world we live in…well, Nihal, it’s the world that the BBC’s reporting has helped create with its remorseless and maliciously anti-Israel/Jewish ‘reporting.
The CST gave some facts, it put some numbers to the anti-Semitism. And indeed white boys were responsible for 55%.
But hang on….45% was down to essentially Muslims…or Pakistanis, Arabs and Blacks [how many are converts?] as the man rather coyly called them. So 45% is due to ethnic minorities, basically Muslims…of which there are under 3 million, what 4-5% of the population?…and how many Whites? 87% or so of the population is White….so 45% of anti-Semitism is due to 4-5% and the rest is due to 87% of the population…telling figures no?
But hang on again, there’s one more wrinkle…not all the white boy anti-Semites are Far-Right neo-Nazi Fascists…many of them are of the Left….reference Labour.
So when the BBC tells us that Britain is getting nastier and more racist due to a rise in the Far-Right due to Brexit one look at the figures tells a completely different tale.
Shame everyone seems to scared to say anything…or are lying through their teeth.
Yet again you see the symptom without seeing the cause! Until you take the blinkers off and realise that there is an active force behind all this then it will carry on, like an infection when you fail to kill what is causing it.
It’s not as if its hidden, even the BBC has reported on it for goodness sake! The fact is that oil rich Wahabist Middle Eastern countries are the biggest funders of our universities bar our own government. This funding comes at a price, and that is that the universities promote the Wahabist view of Islam. This view is described as backwards intolerant and violent – it is the reason for the rise in anti Semitism.

Campus Watch is absolutely full of what is going on, on campus’s in the USA and the UK there can be no doubt Saudi money is being used to some very bad effect.
Just hours after demanding the government rescinds its invite to President Trump over his travel ban, Sadiq Khan will tonight host a City Hall reception with 11 dignitaries whose countries bar Israeli citizens from entering. Bangladesh, Brunei, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Pakistan, Sudan, United Arab Emirates and Yemen will all be represented at the gathering of ambassadors this evening. All 11 of these countries block travel to Israeli passport holders. Khan will use tonight’s party to criticise Trump’s ban as “cruel, prejudiced and counterproductive.” While dining with 11 diplomats whose countries have done the same for years…

I bet that one is not on the BBC/ITV news.
Wild,
Has Khan deliberately chosen them for that reason. We know that he is a vile creature, but surely even he would not go that far ?
an entire room full of hypocritical muzzie victims
Grant
Muslims are at that critical mass in Britain that they don’t have to keep themselves to themselves any more. Anyone who looked into Khan before the mayoral election could have found out what he was like, they liked it and that is why London with such a huge Muslim population voted for him.
How many of these Muslim countries don’t allow gay people to enter their countries?
Kuwait claim to be using a kit to detect if gay people were trying to enter the country!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2449051/Gulf-states-introduce-medical-testing-travellers-detect-gay-people-stop-entering-country.html
I eagerly await all the worldwide protest marches over this gay ban.
Wild,
Thanks for the link. I did not realise this abuse of Human Rights was so widespread. What puzzles me is that it is illegal to be homosexual in 78 countries but illegal to be Lesbian in “only” 49.
So far as my adopted home , Gambia, is concerned , I hope that the new President repeals the legislation making homosexuality illegal. While he is at it he could ban polygamy. Fat chance given that he is a muslim with 2 wives ! The gay ban is a big test for him, though.
Baroness Ruth Deech released her identical findings in a report a month ago..
“Many universities are in receipt of or are chasing very large donations from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states and so on, and maybe they are frightened of offending them.”
The academic said hostility towards Israel was often leading to a “bad situation” for Jews.
“Amongst Jewish students, there is gradually a feeling that there are certain universities that you should avoid,” she said, naming Manchester, Southampton, SOAS, and Exeter.
Criticising Oxford University for its “very disappointing” response to Baroness Royall’s report into allegations of anti-Semitism in the Labour club, Baroness Deech said:
“I can’t believe that my own university is not setting up an investigation and being pro-active about this.”
I wonder, what if we had a petition, to ban Islam from the Protestant realm of Her Majesty the Queen.
The basis being, that Islam is not just a threat to the realm, but to the very heart of the Christian realm of Her Majesty. It most certainly can be shown, that the political ideology of Islam, requires it to overthrow the Protestant Christian faith of Her Majesty’s realm. Sedition is definitely no no in the UK, no matter what Blair legislated.
I don’t see how any of the houses of parliament, including Her Majesty’s loyal opposition, can vote against it. Certainly, the Law Lords, bound by their oath to Her Majesty, cannot nay say.
Progressive left uni students love distributing leaflets & fund-raising for the “Palestinian” cause.
They are so sure the “Palestinians” are victims of Israeli agression.
How Abbas’ Fatah party views Israel. This was on Fatah’s Facebook page in December 2014
The text reads “We remain on your skulls.”
NCBBC ~ “I wonder, what if we had a petition, to ban Islam from the Protestant realm of Her Majesty the Queen.”
Do you think we could rely on the support of The “we-must-respect-all-faiths” Prince of Wales?
This is certainly an area where the BBC are in complete denial and supressing the truth. I’ve always known the BBC whitewash all output wherever ethnic minorities are involved.
A slight flaw in the “White Brit” demographic and the BBC are there to highlight it, so strongly you can see the sparks emanating from Alexandra Palace over the nation to every TV aerial, in every nook and cranny of our little island.
But when it comes to flaws in the “Ethnic Minority” category, it’s as if the BBC turns the news into 100 tons of Play-Doh and attempt to extrude it through a conventional potato ricer.
If you want a good measure of racism in the UK, look no further than the feuds between ethnic minorities. Why does the MSM turn a blind eye to this ongoing issue?
So, there’s been a rise in anti-Semitism recently. Are we supposed to be surprised by that? Not if you factor in the Muslim/Islamic element of society, surely. If there’s one thing more fashionable than fashion, it’s notoriety and rebellion.
Unfortunately, we are locked into a skewed balance of respect for equals. People of faith do not see themselves as equal to anyone but those who share their belief.
All others are beneath them.
Great post again Edward
Edward,
Spot on, but I think there is only one faith that sees all others as beneath them.
I wish more Jews would speak out about Islamic hostility. Instead every time we see a protest against Moslem rape gangs, anti sharia, etc. you will find both the national and local media citing Jewish support for the antis and participation in Interfaith opposition to the far right. Same in the US, so many Jews backed Obama.

Supplementary written evidence submitted by the Board of Deputies of British Jews to the Home Ofice Committee on Hate Crime and its Consequences.
‘While antisemitism and anti-Muslim hatred differ significantly in their histories and manifestations, we recognise that efforts to tackle both will only reach their full potential when minority communities including Jews and Muslims work in partnership’…..
….
To this end:
The Board of Deputies commends the work of Tell MAMA, a charity that monitors and advocates against anti-Muslim hate crime and endorses the ongoing cooperation between the Jewish community’s Community Security Trust (CST) and Tell MAMA, as a prime example of the kind of partnership that is needed to tackle hate crime in all its forms, in particular anti-Muslim hatred.
The Board of Deputies has a longstanding record of speaking out against anti-Muslim hatred in statements to the media and to Government. To cite a few examples:
In the Board of Deputies’ Jewish Manifesto, we have called on politicians to, “oppose extremism and hate crime, including antisemitism, Islamophobia and other forms of hate.”[1]
In January 2017, Board of Deputies President Jonathan Arkush criticised President Donald Trump’s ban on refugees: “bans based on national origin are indiscriminate and unjust. They would be unlawful in U.K. law. While we all understand the need to properly check those who enter our countries, this needs to be balanced with compassion towards the plight of those fleeing for their lives. This is a dismaying beginning to a new US Administration. Good government needs cool, rational judgments delivered professionally, not hasty policy-making on the hoof. All those who respect and admire the USA’s commitment to freedom will call on President Trump to review this misconceived Executive Order.”
In July 2016, Channel 4 news anchor Fatima Manji was attacked in an article by Kelvin Mackenzie. Board of Deputies Vice-President Marie van der Zyl responded: “The article makes the unhelpful and unsupported assumption that a Muslim presenter cannot give adequate balance to a story on Islamist extremism. This drives a wedge between Muslims and others, which will alienate British Muslims, when in fact most Muslims are as appalled at extremism as the rest of us and are the most important constituency in the fight against it.”[2]
In 2013, after a series of anti-Muslim attacks following the murder of Lee Rigby, the Board of Deputies co-signed a statement spearheaded by the Joseph Interfaith Foundation, condemning the attacks[3]
In 2010, when the English Defence League stepped up intimidation of Muslim communities and was waving Israeli flags at its demonstrations, the then Board of Deputies’ Chief Executive, Jon Benjamin, said, “the EDL’s supposed ‘support’ for Israel is empty and duplicitous. It is built on a foundation of Islamophobia and hatred which we reject entirely. Sadly, we know only too well what hatred for hatred’s sake can cause. The overwhelming majority will not be drawn in by this transparent attempt to manipulate a tense political conflict.”
