British-Jewish comedian David Baddiel calls ‘London no go zones’ claim inflammatory

“No go zones for Jews in London on Saturdays..is inflammatory.”

The British-Jewish comedian and author David Baddiel commenting on a statement by the new government commissioner on counterterrorism, Robin Simcox, said “London has become a “no-go zone for Jews during weekend pro-Palestinian marches.”

This Saturday, tens of thousands of pro-Palestine protesters have participated in marches in central London.

To panic the masses by lying to them is a long established political strategy. It's always worked till social media came along.

I marched proudly with Jews in a NYC protest for Palestine, there were many of them there. They were not just safe, they were respected and appreciated for being there. I personally thanked their leader for his presence and he said "it's our obligation for what they're doing to our religion and the people of Gaza." The problem is Zionism, not Judaism.

The oppressers crawling into a victimrole

Also failed to consider the many marches literally organized by Jewish students against israel

The world is against zoinist, not Jews.

[thelazyhandyman]

We are anti zionist not jewish religion.

[ahmedomar]

Its not about jews .Ots about tje genocide by tje Zionists and the apartheid against the Palestinians

[shams]

If i was a politician, i would make these protests a great example of multicultural, multi ethnicity and backround, community cohesion britain fighting against genocide. Something to be proud of, not criminalise.

Gosh! David Baddiel said something right for once. Even a broken clock is right twice a day!

[rexiioper]

Baddiel was the guy who told us Corbyn was an antisemite. #neverforget

[reallymakesyouthink]

He's been one of the voices in Britain confusing anti Zionism with antisemitism so surprised to hear this from him.

Its cooooming home
Its cooooming home
TRUTH is coming home!!!!

Funny how I was bumping into Jews who were also on the marches against genocide 😂😂😂😂

[peterah]

I would feel exactly the same if the roles were reversed with the Israeli people and the palastines. Occupation and apartheid is wrong no matter who does it.

[FedericaCalussi]

In fact there are thousands of Jews protesting! I don't think you risked your life to get to central London 😂

[jillybe]

Thanks David ❤❤❤❤❤ love to you and peace for Palestine and between all people. How foolish hatred is. 😢

[parsaeye]

Thank you for exposing the government's lies. Another nail in the coffin of Tories.

[stephendoherty]

The best way to deflect from the absolute horror of Britain's deep complicity in the genocide in Gaza is to place the focus on the people protesting about the genocide and to call them Islamists and extremists. I must say, in fairness, it's a very impressive tactic, that's working well.

[kosiraziz]

Try telling that to the Jews who are protesting.

I have saw 1000s of the Jewish community on streets saying the loudest Free Palesyine
