Prominent Jews targeted by Muslims and the far Right

[GabysPoppy]

Prominent Jews in Britain are being targeted in a wave of anti-Semitic harassment by far-Right and Islamic fundamentalist organisations.

The home of Lord Triesman, the former general secretary of the Labour party, has been attacked by Combat 18, the neo-Nazi group. Uri Geller, the Israeli television personality, and Barbara Roche, the former Labour minister, have been the victims of graffiti and hate mail.

Mr Whine, who works closely with the police to monitor anti-Semitic attacks on synagogues and Jewish graves, said that extremist Islamic groups are behind many anti-Semitic incidents. "There is reliable evidence from the police to prove that an increasing number of incidents are committed by sympathisers of the Palestinians and Islamists.

"The promotion of anti-Semitism by the Arab media and by Islamist organisations worldwide is having a significant effect on the attitudes of Muslim communities around the world towards the Jews."

3. The head of the British Conservative Party is Jewish

They are hardly in peril there and we cannot say much since we have never had a non-Christian at the top of a ticket in America.

2. They can have Uri Geller

If it's that spoon bending carnie sideshow. But everyone else is off limits. NO ONE should face violent attack just because of their heritage.
