Left/Islamist-sponsored anti-Semitic protest violence in Europe, and in Britain in particular, has gone too far:
A lecture given by Israel’s Deputy Ambassador to Britain Talya Lador-Fresher at the University of Manchester deteriorated Wednesday into violence when pro-Palestinian protesters stormed at the diplomat in an attempted attack.
The protesters were waiting for Lador-Fresher outside the lecture hall, but this did not deter her from entering as planned. Immediately upon her exit, the protesters lunged at the diplomat, prompting security guards to whisk her back into the hall. Following a consultation on the site, it was decided to escort her out of the premises in a police car.
The deputy ambassador was removed from the hall and into the police vehicle. However, this did not block the protesters, who surrounded the car and climbed on the hood, trying to break the windshield.
The deputy ambassador said that the event certainly was unpleasant, and noted that it does not bode well for the academic debate in Britain on the Middle East.
Israeli Ambassador to Britain Ron Prosor praised his deputy for her determination and fighting spirit and emphasized that the embassy expects a sweeping denunciation of the event from the local authorities and universities in Britain.
“This is a lawlessness whose damaging effects are already being felt in the short term, and whose effects in the long term may be irreversible,” Ron Prosor, Israeli Ambassador to Great Britain.Lador-Fresher’s lecture at the university was delayed by a few weeks out of concerns for her safety after information was received that violent protests were being organized. As a result, the ambassador turned to the university faculty to reschedule the lecture.

Ron Prosor will be disappointed. Left-wing and anti-Jewish protest violence is at an all time high in Britain – and no-one seems to be doing anything about it. Anyone who has been to any demonstration involving Iraq, Afghanistan or (and in particular) Israel in recent years will have been witness to the most rabid, violent tactics and completely disproportionate violence and intimidation; which often seem to go unpunished.
Cowering police officers trying to contain Muslims using the most violent language and throwing heavy objects at them, shops ransacked, Israeli flags publicly burned and the most appalling anti-Jewish chants seem to be overlooked, as the bounds of reasonable protest conduct are smashed by this disturbing thuggery.
Who is behind it? Well, you’d be surprised. Along with the usual far-left ragbag of the Stop The War Coalition (Socialist Workers Party, Respect, Communist party, CND and Muslim groups), there are a surprising number of mainstream political and public figures.
In addition to venting their hateful, ant-semitic invective, many of StWC’s members would like nothing more than to see Britain herself dismantled and turned into a Socialist state – despite the overwhelming evidence as to how that turned out in the former Soviet bloc and other places.
But much more disturbing, however, is the rise of a newer group that has been behind much of the more violent end of these protests, Unite Against Fascism. This group regularly indulges in violence and criminality (one British police force referred to them recently as as ’seeking “violent confrontation” with the “sole intention of creating disorder’.
Yet the supporters behind this group are not some obscure, anachronous bunch of anarchists and communists. They count in their number some of the biggest names in British politics, including the leader of the Conservative Party and possibly the next British Prime Minister, David Cameron.
How are we supposed to maintain, in the cradle of parliamentary democracy, a reasonable expectation of the rights to non-violent free speech and orderly protest, when the mainstream politicians are in effect maintaining a private militia that seems to be there to enforce the acceptance of Islamism and mass immigration – and the suppression of any solidarity with Israel – with dissenters often made subject to the most violent intimidation and labelled fascists and scum?
The British Left, in collaboration with terror-supporting Islamists are recreating the conditions of pre-Holocaust 1930s Germany. The Nazis now, however are the likes of the UAF, acting almost unimpeded and seemingly with the blessing of some of Britains’ top mainstream politicians.
They must be stopped.
