Starmer Chose Islam Over Britain and Now We See the Consequences

It was only ever a matter of time before British Muslims decided actions speak louder than words, particularly with regards to the Jewish community. Like the Hamas attacks of October 7th, yesterday’s terrorist atrocity at the Heaton Park Synagogue was timed to grizzly perfection. With Yom Kippur the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, it was obvious that security would be taking a backseat to worship. Melvin Cravitz and Adrian Daulby were tragically killed by the aptly named Syrian, Jihad al Shamie, who drove his car into worshippers and proceeded to stab bystanders before being shot dead by armed police. 

With his customarily leaden delivery, the British Prime Minister treated us to a series of empty, disingenuous words in relation to the terrorism. The Manchester attack, he said, was “absolutely shocking.” Really, Sir Keir? If that is the case, perhaps he could explain why the Community Security Trust (CST) had received a 400% increase in funding in the wake of the October 7th attack, alongside the concomitant rise in antisemitism? “We will do everything to keep our Jewish community safe,” Starmer added. Well sure, everything except stop importing and pandering to the problem: 

The Manchester attack is the inevitable consequence of consecutive British governments’ appeasement of Islam. While undoubtedly cowardly and self-serving, there are obvious and somewhat understandable reasons for this: 

• Islam is the most volatile religious group in Britain, accounting for 67% of terror attacks since 2018, and approximately three quarters of MI5’s caseload.  
• Muslims are the fastest growing demographic in Britain, increasing by 1.2 million between 2011 and 2021—32% of the UK’s total population growth. 
• Unlike Jews, Sikhs, Christians or atheists, Muslims are not seeking to integrate into Britain. 

The last point is not the view from the “far-right,” but that of former Equality Tsar Trevor Phillips. Regrettably, that is an opinion shared by four out of ten Brits. 

At every possible juncture, it is obvious that Islam is being handled with kid gloves by the British State. Jews and other citizens are expected to obey the law, but Muslims routinely enjoy immunity from prosecution. As a case in point, consider the two-tier policing observed whenever aggressive pro-Palestine protests come face-to-face with peaceful Jews. While inveterately opposed to intervening with the pro-Gaza mob, the Metropolitan Police were more than happy to threaten a Jewish man with arrest. What for? For the crime of being “openly Jewish” and therefore “provocative,” in the vicinity of pro-Palestine supporters. 

Far worse however, was the despicable abuse broadcasted to Jews in March 2021. A convoy of vehicles drove through the Jewish quarter of North London, draped in Palestinian flags, screaming “Fuck the Jews! Rape their daughters!” Despite identifying the vehicles and arresting four men on suspicion of racially aggravated public order offences, the Crown Prosecution Service concluded 18 months later that there was not enough evidence to prosecute. 

Hate crimes are all the rage in Britain these days. So much so in fact that general members of the public are routinely arrested for innocuous statements like “I love bacon,” uttered in the vicinity of Muslims. That being the case, and with antisemitism at record levels, one might expect a similar courtesy to be afforded our Jewish friends. Apparently not. Back in 2023, a preacher at an East London Mosque told his followers: 

Oh Allah, curse the Jews and the children of Israel. Oh Allah, curse the infidels and the polytheists. Oh Allah, break their words, shake their feet, disperse and tear apart their unity and ruin their houses and destroy their homes.

Mysteriously, burning Jews out of their homes “did not meet the threshold of a crime”, according to the Metropolitan Police. 

Lucy Connolly was famously awarded 31-months at his Majesty’s pleasure, after tweeting that she didn’t care if all the migrant hotels were burned to the ground. However, if you’re calling for “Death , death to the IDF!” at either the Welsh Parliament or the Glastonbury festival, it appears the authorities simply don’t have enough to go on—and that’s with the evident spike in antisemitism that such events cause. 

You might think that the sitting Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, would have something compassionate to say about the Manchester attack. But then, this is a Home Secretary wholly comfortable at Palestine Solidarity rallies, who abstained on the vote to proscribe Palestine Action earlier in the summer. When asked about the pro-Palestine protests taking place in the wake of the Manchester attack, the best Mahmood could muster was to say that she was “disappointed,” and that “carrying on in this way does feel un-British.” 

Starmer naturally does not bear responsibility for this alone. It was Tony Blair after all, who crowbarred the borders open, and successive Conservative governments which failed to get to grips with Britain’s increasingly restive Muslim population. Starmer however, did make the ultimate and fatal concession. Coming into office, the PM was clearly troubled by the issue of Gaza. On the one hand, he professed Israel’s right to defend itself. On the other, he is nowhere near foolish enough to underestimate the importance of the Muslim vote to Labour; nor miscalculate which group would react more harshly to the absence of his backing. And so, he aligned himself with Islam. 

While never formally stated, Starmer gave the clearest indication of this when he decided to ‘recognise’ the State of Palestine. Diplomatically, this can surely be seen as little more than the legitimisation of terrorism; a mistake European allies have been only too desperate to make. 

In such a climate, is it any wonder levels of antisemitism are currently at a record high; one in five ‘Brits’ are now antisemitic; and 44% of British Muslims endorse antisemitic tropes. 

At the beginning of the year, it was reported that most British Jews do not believe they have a long-term future in the UK. The minority that did, have probably just had their minds changed forever. Manchester may have been a wake-up call for some, but the writing has been on the wall for some time. Thanks to a craven Prime Minister, Britain is to all intents and purposes under the control of Muslim extremists; extremists who now know their actions are beyond reproach.
