| Antisemitism reared its ugly head once again this weekend on 09:55 - Apr 20 by bluelagos | Generally keep out of the ant-semitism threads (not cos I don't care, but have little to add of value) But today after a couple of arrests - it sounded from the report as if they might be younguns who were basically paid (by Iran?) to do the attacks - sort of "antisemtism for hire" (my words). If this is accurate it opens up a whole new aspect to how easy it is for antisemtites abroad to cause distress (and worse) in the UK. Would mean we need the security services to get involved (already are?) in tackling this. Horrible, horrible stuff. |
Yes, an approach that Russia has been using across Europe for the last few years. There was an attack on an anti-government Iranian TV station in London last week as well. The pipeline seems to be graffiti -> arson -> assault or attempted murder. Two arrests today at least. https://www.theguardian.com/uk "This is recruiting violence as a service, and the people who conduct that violence often have little or no allegiance to the cause and are taking quick cash for their crimes.” |  |
