The thugs who demand their right to freedom of expression when they want to intimidate, and harass Jews on the streets or on university campuses in the name of Palestine, simply cannot stomach the idea of you seeing scientific evidence of Jewish indigeneity in Israel.

Our newest technologies are echoing the world’s oldest hatred. According to an academic research paper published in the American Psychologist journal, artificial intelligence models have demonstrated antisemitic bias, which they have incorporated from the human texts that they are trained on. As AI becomes an increasingly prevalent feature of our lives and we rely on it for more and more professional and personal insight, this development is extremely worrying. AI’s adoption of antisemitic tropes holds a mirror up to our society’s normalisation of this age-old prejudice. timesofisrael.com/ai-models-…

The people responsible for publishing this extremist screed on the police’s official web domain are unfit to be police officers and must be immediately investigated by their respective forces’ professional standards departments and dismissed. This is every bit as scandalous as the West Midlands Police debacle and even more so – this is not police acquiescence to Islamist extremism, it is evidence that a major national policing association has been infiltrated by or is controlled by Islamists. British Jews have long suffered two-tier policing that sees antisemitic crime go unpunished and faith in the police has dropped to its lowest level since our polling began. Saying that the movement for Jewish self-determination contributes to anti-Muslim hatred and that even talking about Hamas’ 7th October atrocity should be stopped is the kind of extremism we would expect to read in the opening of the prosecution case against an antisemite, not on the national police web domain. We are writing to the Home Secretary to ensure that this clear threat to British policing results in a clear message being sent. This cannot pass with the document being quietly deleted. Not one of the people involved in publishing this document can remain as a police officer. Furthermore, the National Police Chiefs Council must show leadership by immediately denouncing the National Association of Muslim Police for bringing policing into further disrepute in this manner. If they do not, that is perhaps more alarming than the publication of this document in the first place. spectator.com/article/the-di…

“You can’t change the fact that the genie is out of the bottle.” CAA’s Director of Investigations and Enforcement, Stephen Silverman @SSilvUK spoke to @LBC last night regarding the question of NHS staff wearing political badges in healthcare environments.

“With this ever-growing litany of incidents, you’re running out of adjectives to describe how you feel.” Campaign Against Antisemitism’s Stephen Silverman tells Kevin O’Sullivan he is horrified after Dame Helen Mirren was accosted in the street by a pro-Palestine stranger. @TVKev @SSilvUK

“We have a whole generation now who feel it is cool to hate Jews.” Stephen Silverman @SSilvUK, CAA’s Director of Investigations and Enforcement appeared on @GBNEWS to discuss the horrendous recent reports of antisemitism in schools.

You could have policed your marches yourselves and prevented them from becoming incubators for anti-Jewish hatred. You did not. That is why it is now time for them to end.

Yet again, we call for Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley to resign or be removed from his post by @MayorOfLondon and @ShabanaMahmood. He allowed a hate march on the doorstep of a synagogue today. There were scant arrests as people called for ‘intifada’ and displayed the flag of Palestinian terrorist organisations. Placards claimed that the UK is controlled by ‘Zionists’ and destroyed by their ‘greed’. Masked thugs went unchallenged by police as they defied an anti-mask order. The outrageous scenes today showed that @MetPoliceUK had totally lost control of the streets of London. For all of the words after anti-Jewish terrorist attacks and arson, today proved that when it comes down to it, British Jews are not protected by the Met, they are gaslit by it. We are also aware of displays of some antisemitic messaging on the Unite the Kingdom march. It was absolutely dwarfed by the anti-Jewish hatred engulfing the much smaller hate march organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, whose outgoing leader was recently convicted of inciting a crowd to breach police conditions put in place to protect a synagogue. For British Jews, the statements issued by @Keir_Starmer and @SadiqKhan about the Unite the Kingdom march applied far more to the ‘Nakba Day’ hate march. Their outrage and warnings about Unite the Kingdom but not today’s hate march show a glaring double standard and wilful blindness toward the years of hate marches that are the engine rooms of antisemitism at a time when British Jews are being stabbed and our community burned.

“Every single word that the Prime Minister just said is applicable to every single march that has taken place in our towns and cities since 7th October 2023. “He will not tolerate it? He tolerated it for the twenty months of his premiership so far…He made a whole range of commitments and he’s fallen at the first hurdle because this hateful march is going ahead.” CAA’s @SSilvUK speaks to @TalkTV’s Kevin O’Sullivan about tomorrow’s hate march.

“We have basically sleepwalked into a crisis of national proportions.” Stephen Silverman, CAA’s Director of Investigations and Enforcement, appeared on @BBC5Live last night to reflect on yesterday’s rally outside Downing Street.

Earlier today I spoke with @GBNews about rampant antisemitism and the Government's plan to deal with it. GB News subsequently posted a clip. x.com/i/status/2052021157033… Here are some of the replies. Social media is the primary vehicle for spreading antisemitism. The ease with which bad actors have been able to use it to radicalise others into believing that hating Jews is a moral imperative is one of the main reasons we find ourselves in the middle of a national emergency. We have yet to hear how the Prime Minister intends to deal with it.

“It’s hard to escape the feeling that we’re being served up more smoke and mirrors.” Stephen Silverman @SSilvUK, CAA’s Director of Investigations and Enforcement, on GB News this afternoon.

'The prosecution rate of antisemitic hate crime is the lowest for any minority.' Stephen Silverman from the Campaign Against Antisemitism discusses new laws that will see Iran-backed criminals facing up to 14 years in prison for antisemitic attacks.

The BBC is at it again. Having interviewed someone who appeared incredulous that someone might petrol bomb a mosque but understandable if it had been a synagogue, the BBC then doctored his reply to make it sound like any sort of arson on a synagogue was unbelievable. Is the BBC trying to whitewash the awfulness of Hamzah’s view? Is not the point of asking locals how they feel to get a sense of the real atmosphere in Tower Hamlets? Perhaps there is a more interesting story there, which the BBC is now trying to hide. As in so many other instances that affect the Jewish community, the BBC is not reporting the reality but presenting a distorted version that accords with its agenda.

“It’s a start, but it’s going to take a lot more than that.” This was the response of CAA’s Director of Investigation and Enforcement, Stephen Silverman @SSilvUK, to the Government’s recently announced measures to tackle antisemitism, as he appeared on LBC News earlier today.

This morning, the Prime Minister opened his antisemitism summit with a short speech. Days after we stood outside Downing Street calling on the Prime Minister to present a plan to tackle antisemitism, this is a start. We note that he has adopted some of our language and his acknowledgment that antisemitism comes not just from the far-right but also from the far-left and Islamism. But most of what is being announced is merely a programme of telling the authorities to do the jobs they were supposed to have been doing for years. The police have had the powers to ban marches all along, and it should not have taken a spate of stabbings and arson attacks for the Charity Commission to act against extremist mosques or for the Arts Council to stop funding venues that spread hate. It is absurd that basic steps have still not been announced today. We all know that Iran is a malign influence in this country, so why hasn’t the IRGC been proscribed and its ambassador expelled? The Prime Minister has been in office for almost two years, and it’s been half a year since the Manchester terrorist murders so why is he merely pointing to ongoing reviews of indeterminate length, without taking obvious action right now, for example banning the Muslim Brotherhood? We suspect that avoiding these questions is why the Prime Minister did not invite the UK’s largest antisemitism campaigning charity to his event at Downing Street today. He probably knows that we would play no part in any choreographed spectacle that puts words before action. Now is not the time to be avoiding uncomfortable truths and hard questions. antisemitism.org/prime-minis…

“Those marches have been incubators for the antisemitic rhetoric leading to the violence we’ve seen.” Stephen Silverman @SSilvUK, CAA’s Director of Investigations and Enforcement appeared on @GBNEWS’ flagship politics show at the weekend following the knife attack in Golders Green, north London.

Another day in London, another suspected arson attack against a Jewish institution. Counter Terrorism Police are investigating an attempted arson attack against a former synagogue on Nelson Street in Tower Hamlets. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported. Earlier this year, a Muslim organisation put down a deposit to buy the site of the former synagogue, which is no longer in operation. Numerous former and current synagogues and other Jewish sites have been targeted for arson in recent weeks – sometimes on a daily basis – as have a number of Iranian diasporic institutions. This latest arson attack comes after two Jews were stabbed elsewhere in London last week.

"It is utterly reprehensible and abhorrent that Zack Polanski uses his Jewish identity to damage the fight against anti-Semitism." @SSilvUK rips into the Green Party leader over his rhetoric after the Golders Green stabbing. @petercardwell

Beyond the likely copyright infringement and defamation here, portraying a Jew with devil’s horns is a longstanding antisemitic trope. It is shameful, but these sorts of Jew-baiting agitators are far past feeling shame at their actions. Discrimination against Jewish people has become normalised in the arts: it‘s now simply part of doing business as a Jewish creative in modern Britain. The only consolation is that Maureen Lipman knows that she enjoys the support of the Jewish community and is beloved across the country, regardless of what vocal Jew-baiting activists might say.
