The PM’s strong words on vile anti-Semitism are welcome – but we need tough action as well
Don’t let Britain’s Jews live in terror
IT is vital that Britain prevents extremists fired up by the Gaza crisis from bringing hate-filled terror to our streets.
As we reveal today, thugs from the Palestine Action group have been secretly plotting sledgehammer attacks against firms in this country.
They were caught on Zoom planning a lawless campaign of destruction to smash up businesses and companies they claim have links with Israel.
At the same time Britain’s Jewish community is facing an unprecedented wave of intimidation from Hamas-supporting fanatics over the crisis.
This aggression will only spiral when Israel sends troops into the enclave to root out the Hamas terrorists.
Jewish schools have already been forced to close amid a surge of anti-Semitic incidents.

Rishi Sunak yesterday declared: “I say: Not here. Not in Britain. Not in our country. Not in this century. We will do everything we possibly can to protect Jewish people in our country.”
Too right, PM. This is a matter of national importance.
The security services cannot allow extremists to use Gaza as an excuse to bring the hatred and the horror of anti-Semitism to Britain.
The freedom to protest is vital and everyone is entitled to express their opinion, as the generally peaceful protests showed yesterday.

No Brexit backsliding
THERE can be no retreat on Brexit.
But what a surprise to see the BBC highlighting a German call for talks on a new British deal with the EU.
Of course the Germans want us back in.
They are desperate for our trade and our money.
Their economy is tanking while ours is proving far stronger than the scaremongering remoaners predicted.
But, as veteran Eurosceptic MP Sir John Redwood points out, if the Germans really want to ease trade they just need to drop the barriers they have imposed on our businesses.
The German offer will, though, be music to the ears of Sir Keir Starmer’s EU-loving Labour cronies and Brussels’ cheerleaders.

The closer that Starmer gets to Number 10 the louder the calls for a new EU deal will become.
