From Elsewhere: Redbridge is now a place where Jewish women cannot walk in safety – Now why could that be?

The location of the London Borough of Redbridge

This blog has published many articles about the London Borough of Redbridge focussing on the large amount of Islamification that is going on there and its negative effect on local non-Muslims. Here is an article from the Jewish News publication showing how life for the Jews of Redbridge, once home to the largest Jewish community in Europe, is changing. Can anybody guess just what has changed in Redbridge that could have made the borough much more unsafe for Jews. If you can’t guess then I’ll give you a clue, it begins with an ‘I’ and ends with an ‘M’. As is usual policy for this blog, the original text is in italics and commentary from myself is in plain text.

Jewish News said:

ANXIOUS RESIDENTS told would-be candidates for the London Assembly this week that there were areas of their borough where a man wearing a kippah “would start a riot” and in which Jewish women felt frightened to walk.

I’m not surprised that some Jewish residents feel this way. There has been an awful lot of Islamification going on in Redbridge and as usual, along with the Islamification comes Islamic Jew-hatred. An increase in the amount of Islam in the area is the main cause of a lack of safety for Redbridge’s Jews.

The sometimes passionate exchanges took place at a hustings organised by the London Jewish Forum, held at the Redbridge Jewish Community Centre. But while the audience turn-out was relatively high – around 60 people – the same could not be said for the panel.

That is a relatively good turnout for a hustings meeting. I’ve seen better but I’ve also seen a lot lot worse.

The Conservative candidate, Keith Prince, was not available, and the former MP for Ilford North, Lee Scott [pictured], stood in for him. Lawrence Webb, the UKIP candidate, failed to show up, despite messages that he was on his way.

This is not good and UKIP need to up their game if they are to collect the votes of those who may traditionally have voted for other parties.

Scott was joined on the panel by Lee Burkwood for the Green Party, Ian Sanderson for the Liberal Democrats, and Ivana Bartoletti for the Labour Party.

I’m surprised that the Labour member had the gall to even show their face at this meeting. After all it is Labour who are going along with much of the Islamification of the borough and Labour who are benefiting from the ‘whipped mosque vote’ and also from the possibly fraudulent Islamic postal votes. Labour are part of the problem when it comes to Islamification and the Jew-hatred that comes with it.

Although LJF chairman Adrian Cohen urged a widening of the debate, it was clear from the beginning of the evening that anti-Semitism in politics – and its fallout – was at the forefront of everyone’s concerns.

As it should be. However what distinguishes today’s political anti-Semitism is that it is not coming from the right or from the deluded political heirs of Oswald Mosley, but from the Left and their Muslim allies.

Scott – who now works for the Conservative mayoral candidate Zac Goldsmith – angrily brandished a series of anti-Semitic tweets that had been posted during his last General Election campaign. He spoke of having to attend a public meeting “with three plain-clothed police officers and two uniforms” and claimed some of the abuse directed at him had come from Labour political opponents.

Again this is something that also doesn’t surprise me. Some Labour activists have discovered that if you want to get hold of the whipped mosque vote or the bent Islamic postal vote then it pays to either turn a blind eye to Jew hatred, or better still, encourage it.

He had received death threats and been called “a dirty Jew”, he said, and people had been warned not to vote for him in that guise. “Using anti-Semitic language is not acceptable,” he said, adding that long-time Labour MPs and supporters such as Louise Ellman or Lord Levy should resign from the party and sit as independents because of the ongoing problem with anti-Semitism in the Labour Party.

The sort of harassment and abuse that Mr Scott has received smacks very much of the sort of tactics that have been applied in other constituencies by the likes of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee UK. Groups like this have, as part of their modus operandi,a policy of telling Muslims ‘dont vote for so and so, they are a Jew’, even as it turned out in one case, the candidate who was out of Islamic favour was a Christian.

However, the meeting all but erupted when audience member Deborah Fink, well-known as a Jewish campaigner for Palestinian rights, repudiated the emphasis on anti-Semitism.

She said: “I object to these exaggerations of anti-Semitism – a lot of the so-called anti-Semitism towards Jews is because of their attitudes on Israel. And I have received many death threats – from other Jews.”

All families have their oddballs, their ‘meshuganim’ their black sheep and their criminals. Deborah Fink is the dodgy oddball in the Jewish family. Someone who spends so much time and effort campaigning for those who want her dead, is not someone who I want to take seriously or waste time over. For those who are interested in who she is all I will say is ‘google her’.

Asked what they would do to tackle anti- Semitic hate crime in London, all the candidates spoke about improving police numbers.

Agreed that increasing police numbers is a good idea. It not only makes Jews safe,it helps to keep everybody safe. However what is needed really badly are politicians who will have the honesty to admit that Britain has a problem with Leftist and Islamic Jew hatred. It’s no use speaking about this issue unless we are all prepared to admit some uncomfortable truths and one of those truths is that Islam hates Jews and Judaism. No amount of ‘interfaith’ groups or other similar wastes of time and money will do anything to counter the 1400 years of ‘kill the Jews’ brainwashing that pervades Islamic societies, Islamic theology and Islamic scripture. Whatever else they are able to do the ‘bagels and bhaji’s’ interfaith crowd cannot wish away Islamic Jew hatred.

Bartoletti maintained that anyone in the Labour Party displaying anti-Semitic attitudes should be expelled immediately – adding, ruefully: “If we had won the election in May, we would have had a Jewish prime minister.” Labour was “home to many members of the Jewish community, and that’s how it should be,” she declared.

No, what we would have had is a disastrous socialist incompetent who just happened to have come from a Jewish family. I don’t think Miliband was in any way a religiously observant Jew and his upbringing seemed to contain a lot more Karl Marx and very little Laws of Moses. Labour used to be the political home of many working class Jewish Britons but since Labour threw their lot in with the Muslims who want Jews dead, what point is there is being a Jewish Labour Party member? As for the problem with Jew haters in the Labour party, all I can say is that expelling them will take an awful long time because there seems to be so very many of them.

Perhaps the most remarkable response of the evening came in answer to a question about why Redbridge, once home to the biggest Jewish population in Europe, had declined so rapidly – thousands of younger Jews have left the area.

I think if I was a father of a young Jewish family in Redbridge and I saw the schools going from being mixed Jewish/Christian/Hindu/whatever, to being dominated by the children of the followers of Islam then I’d think I’d move out. Hmmm! Jewish child in school dominated by Muslims, such a scenario has the potential to not end well.

Asked what the panel would do to restore the Jewish community presence, Scott had a surprising solution. He revealed that he is going to France next month to meet people at Jewish community centres in Paris to try to encourage French Jews to move to Redbridge.

There were thousands of French Jews already in London, fleeing anti-Semitism in their country, he said, but many of them were relatively well-off and had settled in wealthy central London neighbourhoods.

He believed that there were numbers of less well-heeled French Jews whom he thought might enjoy settling in Redbridge.

I’m all in favour of Britain giving shelter to Jews, and Christians I might add who are fleeing the depredations of Islam. However it is going to be a difficult idea to sell to French Jews. After all would you,if you were escaping from Islamic violence and hatred, want to move to a borough that is going through the sad process of Islamification? I would not. There is a little bit of ‘out of the frying pan into the fire’ about Mr Scott’s suggestion.

So there you have it. An area that was once a safe place for Jewish Britons is now getting more and more unsafe because of the presence of Islam. A place that was once a a destination that both Jews and Christians aspired to live in is now somewhere in which Jewish women feel unsafe to be in.

Those foolish politicians who tell us that Islam is a religion of peace should have taken note of those of who say otherwise. The Jewish ‘canary in the Redbridge coalmine’ is singing loudly, and it would pay us all, including the politicians who got us into this Islamic mess, to listen to the tune.
