Finchley: Quelle horreur – the anti-fascists are also anti-semitic

Sarah Sackman MP for Finchley, North London, a district with a large and well-established Jewish community on the anti-racist demonstration last night

Concerned residents have shared posts with my office relating to so called “anti-fascist” groups in Finchley which are clearly antisemitic. I will not amplify or platform those voices. Instead I have reported them to the police and CST. I advise others to do the same. 1/2

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. Whether it’s the far right or far left there can be zero tolerance for antisemitism, Islamophobia or racism in any form. There is no place for such hate in our community. 2/2

Tottenham and Haringey Palestine Action took down the notice in question. It may not have originated with them, however. I’ll copy it for her. Others are not so squeamish and there are plenty of copies around, many of which have been refered to the police.

I think the use of BIPOC is amusing here. The ‘I’ of course stands for indigenous. Indigenous as in First Nation Americans, or Native Americans or Alaska natives or whatever is the best way to refer to them. Not the original English inhabitants of London, many of whom are descended from the British tribes conquered by the Romans. And definitely not the well-integrated Jews who have been an asset to us for centuries.
