Readers may feel we're straying into an area not directly related to our mission but as Liz S points out this is another example of the duplicity of the UK media that we must surely want to leave behind.

Much of the media and the Met Police are obscuring something else that happened on the same day a man attacked, as in stabbed, two Jewish men in London.

Most of the media and the Met police are promoting this as a anti semitic attack and are only referring to two Jewish men being attacked.

However it appear that on the same day the suspect was also alleged to have attempted to murder Ishmail Hussein, a Muslim, in a knife attack at Hussein’s flat in Southwark, south London, Hussein had known the suspect for around 20 years.

The Met police posted this on ‘X’ on 1 May:

“A man will appear in court today charged following a Counter Terrorism Policing investigation into two men stabbed in #GoldersGreen”.

Owen Jones wrote in response to that post by the Met:

“He’s been charged with the attempted murders of three people. The third is Ishmail Hussein. Why don’t the Met Police mention that in their tweet? It’s buried in the press release, but why in practise downplay the gravity of the crime”?

On the 29 April Keir Starmer posted this:

The antisemitic attack in Golders Green is utterly appalling. Attacks on our Jewish community are attacks on Britain. Thank you to Shomrim, Hatzola and the police for acting swiftly. Those responsible will be brought to justice”.

So he too either decided to omit the third attack on a Muslim by this suspect or the Met police did not inform him of this third attack (which nowadays appears to be a common occurrence, that is where according to Starmer , it seems to be that information is something that others always seem to withhold from him hence his “I knew nothing” line of defence).

However on the 30 April Starmer also posted this:

“Yesterday’s terror attack wasn’t an isolated incident, it was the latest attack on the Jewish community for being Jewish. Today I spoke with volunteers, first responders from Shomrim and Hatzola to thank them for their bravery. I know that this is a deeply worrying time for the whole community. My government is taking immediate action. We’ve increased enhanced funding for police patrols and protective security and we’re fast-tracking legislation to deal with malign state actors. My message to Jewish people is this: you belong here, and we will do everything we can to keep you safe”.

So still Starmer does not mention the other stabbing by the same person who stabbed the two Jewish men , as inconveniently perhaps that other person was a Muslim.

The Q is why would this be framed as being an attack only on Jewish people which then prompted calls for Pro Palestine Marches to be banned, a pledge by Starmer for an increase in funding for policing in areas with Jewish communities in England (or just London), another pledge by Starmer to fast-track legislation to deal with ‘malign state actors’ and then political attacks by the Met Chief and also by Keir Starmer against Zach Polanski when Polanski highlighted the obvious excessive force used by police in apprehending the suspect (kicking him in the head as he lay on the ground) ?

Also the fact that this person, the suspect, had also stabbed a Muslim friend that same day was being ignored/omitted/excluded but by whom, as in who knew this at the time that they were promoting that the suspect had only stabbed two Jewish men?

Not forgetting that the crucial fact in this story which was that he , the suspect, had a history of serious violence and mental health issues.

The National newspaper have now written this :

“The Met Police has been accused of ‘airbrushing’ an attack on a third man on the same day as the Golders Green terrorism incident”.

Of course our friends at the BBC on 1 May wrote this on their website:

Their headline (hidden away) on the London page :

“Golders Green stabbing suspect in court on three charges of attempted murder”

“A man has appeared in court charged with attempted murder after attacking two Jewish men in Golders Green, north London, and another man in the south of the city”.

“another man” ?

Nowhere in that article do they, the BBC , mention that this other man was a Muslim but they do mention that the other two men were Jewish.

Agenda much ?

Now another article today ,on the 2 May, on the BBC politics page states that:

“Protests may need to be stopped in some cases, PM suggests”

“The prime minister has suggested there may be a case for banning some protests, following calls for a suspension of pro-Palestinian marches“.

“The PM said he would always defend the right to protest but he was concerned about the “cumulative” effect of repeated marches on the Jewish community”

“It comes after two Jewish men were stabbed in Golders Green, north London, on Wednesday”.

“Essa Suleiman, 45, appeared in court on Friday charged with attempted murder over the attack”

So what about the third man , (why is Starmer) and also why are the BBC not including this third man in their latest 2 May article , which as a new BBC article on this story comes the day after their previous article on the 1 May, which did note that the suspect was charged with stabbing three people on that day (but alas not that the third man was a Muslim)?

Starmer (and the Met Chief) and the Media still working on behalf of Netanyahu it seems , and where it also seems to be that they all want us to think that the thousands of innocent men , women and children being killed in Gaza and also elsewhere in the Middle east by Israel , is somehow a lesser atrocity than the two Jewish men who were stabbed this week in London.

(Or rather as the UK media and UK politicians present this as a supposed example of a ‘terrorist’ incident against Jewish people as being “an attack on Britain”, so then it appears yet again that if anything bad happens in London or England then it quickly becomes framed as something bad that is happening or has happened against Britain).

Meanwhile anything bad that happens in Scotland is confined to being promoted as a ‘Scottish’ incident and not , nay never, a British one.

Let’s get out of the UK State and then we can really begin to try to find ways to protect all people who live within Scotland, irrespective of their race, their nationality at birth and also no matter what their religious beliefs are.

Really more a case of choosing hope over hate and truth over propaganda, which will then both serve and benefit all of the people who live in Scotland far far more , plus it will not pander to those in power (as is currently happening within their UK State) who seek to promote their own selfish agenda for political gain and also for personal financial gain as well.
