Amid anti-Israel protests, Sunak says extremists deliberately undermining UK democracy

2024-03-03

[IsraelTimes] PM says regular Saturday pro-Paleostinian demonstrations have descended into intimidation, threats and planned acts of violence, vows to back up police when they take action

Following weeks of simmering tension in the UK over the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
conflict, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Friday said that the "time has come" to battle murderous Moslem forces as he warned "democracy itself is a target."

In an unusual address from outside his Downing Street home, Sunak said that "in recent weeks and months, we have seen a shocking increase in murderous Moslem disruption and criminality."

’s October 7 attacks have seen dozens arrested for antisemitic chanting and banners, inviting support for Hamas, a banned terror organization, and assaulting emergency workers.

Right-wing counter-protesters were also arrested when they descended on London for Remembrance Day events in November.

"Islamist hard boyz and far-right groups are spreading a poison. That poison is extremism," said Sunak.

Matters came to a head last week when the Speaker of the House of Commons said he bucked procedure during a debate due to concerns about the safety of MPs. Sunak said that the protests, a regular occurrence on Saturdays in the capital, "had descended into intimidation, threats and planned acts of violence."

Sunak said that people had the right to protest and demand the protection of civilian life in Gaza, but could not use that cause to justify the support of Hamas, a proscribed group, and said he wanted police to "not merely manage these protests, but police them."

He added that "Islamist hard boyz and the far-right feed off and embolden each other" and were "two sides of the same murderous Moslem coin." He said that people in the country on visas would have their right to be in Britannia removed if they "choose to spew hate."

"Now our democracy itself is a target. Council meetings and local events have been stormed.

"MPs do not feel safe in their home. Long-standing parliamentary conventions have been upended because of safety concerns," he added.

"I fear that our great achievement in building the world’s most successful multi-ethnic, multi-faith democracy is being deliberately undermined," Sunak said.

The prime minister said that "police have a tough job in policing the protests" but that "we must draw a line."

"I say this to the police, we will back up when you take action," he added.

Sunak’s speech came as left-wing firebrand

was elected to the UK parliament after tapping into anger over the Israel-Hamas war in a chaotic by-election marred by allegations of antisemitism.

Sunak said it was "beyond alarming" that voters had elected a candidate "who dismisses the horror of what happened on October 7, and who glorifies Hezbollah."

The government will soon unveil a "new, robust framework" to tackle extremism, which will include backing for the counter-radicalization Prevent program and a demand for universities to stop murderous Moslem activity on campus, he explained.

"It is not enough to live side-by-side, we must live together, united by shared values and a shared commitment to this country," said Sunak.

"The time has now come for us all to stand together to combat the forces of division," he added.

British politicians this week have been given funding for new security provisions after some faced threats for expressing support for Israel in its war with Hamas.
