Governments in Europe bolster security amid rise in antisemitism online

Governments across Europe said they had bolstered security as Jewish groups warned that the surprise attacks by Hamas had led to a rise in antisemitic rhetoric online.

In France, the interior minister, Gérald Darmanin, called on regional officials across the country to urgently put in place heightened security at synagogues and Jewish schools.

 

“At a time when terrorist attacks from Gaza are hitting Israel, I ask you to immediately step up vigilance, security and protection of Jewish community sites in France,” he wrote in a message seen by AFP.

 

Darmanin also called for the soldiers from France’s Opération Sentinelle, a special force that patrols streets and protects key sites, to be deployed in order to create a “visible and systematic” security presence.

The surprise attacks had left many in France’s Jewish community reeling, said Samuel Lejoyeux of the Union of Jewish Students of France. “We woke up with a sense of dread,” he told Le Figaro newspaper. “We were reminded of a fragility we had forgotten. It’s a feeling similar to what we felt at the time of 11 September or the Bataclan [attacks].”

 

His concerns were echoed by the Council of French Jewish Institutions. “We were very shocked and worried by this outburst of violence,” Pierre Haas of the council told AFP.

The council, he added, was also wary about the “possibility of the conflict being imported to France”.

 

In Germany, the police in Berlin said on social media they had filed complaints after being alerted to “people celebrating the attacks on Israel by handing out baked goods” along a main avenue.

Soon after, the country’s chancellor, Olaf Scholz, said in a statement that the government would “not accept it when the heinous attacks against Israel are celebrated here on our streets”.

The Central Council of Jews in Germany said they were in close contact with authorities and that police measures were being increased at Jewish institutions across the country.

 

In London, the Metropolitan police said they had increased patrols across parts of the city amid a “number of incidents, including those that have been shared on social media, in relation to the ongoing conflict in Israel and [at] the border with Gaza”.

Gosh.  Could they possibly be rethinking their genius policy of welcoming boatload after boatload of military aged males?

 

 

[Tug]

Obviously the prudent thing to do 

[thaibeachlovers]

LOL. On the one hand they love and excuse israel and on the other hand they welcome persons that have no love for israel into the country.

I guess they never thought that might come back to bite them on the posterior.

I guess this is one of the (many) drawbacks of multi-culturalism. You end up importing the world's conflicts onto your own front door step.

 

Simlar things happening in London.

 

 

Still, keep repeating the mantra "Diversity is our strength" and this will all disappear under the carpet in no time...

Oh it wasn’t you who posted a ripped video of a protest and then moaned world conflicts and ‘similar things happening in London’

 

Peaceful protest is a cornerstone of democracy and free speech.

Away with you and your false equivalence and intolerance of peaceful protest.

As long as it stays peaceful I have no issue with protests. But you already knew that.

 

Of course, recent history suggests it might not stay within the law for too long.

There you go with utter hyperbole.

 

The protests in London were peaceful,  people breaching hate speech laws were arrested and are being dealt with.

 

Hate filled marches through Jewish neighborhoods in London are nothing new, are not imported or anything to do with ‘multiculturalism’, they have a long and disgraceful history.

 

The police and courts know how to deal with this.

As long as it's within the law, that's fine. Some of it was, some of it wasn't. Let's see how it pans out over the next few days. 

 

So remind me again what I said against free speech? ????

‘Importing world conflicts’ juxtaposed with ‘peaceful protests in London’ adding ‘similar things happening in London’.

 

No Jonny, peaceful protests are not similar to world conflicts’.

In comparison to those world conflicts you assert are being imported, very peaceful.

 

Even the Daily Mail can’t claim anything beyond scuffles, melee and a young man setting off a firework.

So you now accept it's not peaceful. We have progress.

 

But because it's not as bad in London as it is in Gaza, it's all good?

 

I guess antisemitism in London is fine, as long as it's not as bad as it is in Palestine? I guess it's not surprising you would hold such a view given your adoration of the UK Labour Party.

Possible, but it may well be far too late. The people (radical muslims) are already in and are breeding?

I may be wrong but didn't the UK Government designate Hamas as terrorists?

If so it is illegal to support terrorism?

Actually we've had a couple of bad tackles and 2 red cards. The crowd is hostile and starting to riot, but the stewards have it under control - for now.

 

Unfortunately, we're still in the first 10 minutes.
