Starmer accused of allowing anti-Semitism in Britain to ‘deteriorate’

The Telegraph  

Last week, pro-Palestinian protesters launched a spate of anti-Israel vandalism attacks on buildings around the UK to mark the 107th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration. Palestine Action stole two busts of Israel’s first president from Manchester University and daubed campus buildings, along with a research centre and a Jewish charity office elsewhere, with red paint. In London, Palestine Action sprayed the Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre, on Hampstead High Street, with red paint, claiming it was “funded by wealth made from manufacturing Israeli weapons” and therefore fitted the group’s wider ambition to “dismantle Zionism”. The Board of Deputies of British Jews and the National Jewish Assembly said the “appalling” action was “anti-Semitic” and designed “to intimidate British Jews”. ‘Climate of intolerance’ Alex Hearn, director of LAAS, said: “There have been a number of Labour policies which seem to have only served to satisfy quite an extreme cadre of groups.
