(Jewish News) A newspaper headline claiming London’s streets have become a “no-go zone for Jews” during pro-Palestinian protests is “deeply troubling,” the Community Security Trust’s chief executive has claimed, but he added that “it also contains a huge element of truth.”
Mark Gardner was speaking on Radio 4’s Today programme in response to a Daily Telegraph frontpage that led on an op-ed written by the government’s counter-extremism commissioner.
Robin Simcox called for the government to … “move faster” and “be bolder” in taking action against groups involved with the pro-Palestine demos even if that meant a “higher legal risk.”
Simcox said “we will not have become an authoritarian state if London is no longer permitted to be turned into a no-go zone for Jews every weekend.”
