Comment on UK allocates £250m for policing in Jewish communities

  Source? Reports say he got stabbed but got off with minor injuries. It is sill proscecuted as attempted murder.

  The Standard:

  It is alleged Suleiman was armed with a knife and “tried to stab Mr Hussein” in his upper body, but his friend “fended off the attack”.

  And I just quickly looked it up and it seems it’s a direct subway line from Northern Line Borough to Brent Cross station. He essentially stepped out of the station and was at the next attack location.

  He tried to stab his friend at around 8AM and didn’t arrive in Golders Green until after 11. Did he not see anyone for 2-3 hours while taking the London Underground on a weekday?

    The friend did get stabbed though and was left with injuries from it.

    The guy is mentally ill. Maybe he was hiding. Maybe he randomly decided to go eat a Kebab. If he was targeting Jews we’d have seen a manifesto and his wall plastered with Swastikas. And also he’d be screaming it from the rooftops

    Because in an actual targeted stabbing you don’t need to guess the motive of someone with a mental illness by connecting all the dots. They’ll make it clear.

      The friend did get stabbed though and was left with injuries from it. Fending off the brunt of the attack doesn’t make the attack less attack’y

      I haven’t seen anything saying he actually got stabbed, only that there was an attempt and he sustained minor injuries feeding it off. That could mean anything from the knife grazing him to him breaking his nose in the struggle.

      Mentally ill people are still capable of hate crimes.

        The acquaintance was a attacked by a knife and received injuries, wither they were from a stabbing or slashing seems a pedantic argument to me, the attacker was was suffering from a psychotic break and was attacking people of many religions, to cherry-pick parts of his rampage and assign him motives he himself has never espoused is obviously driven by political agendas and to push certain narratives, not to actually show the truth behind the events

        He was attacked with a knife and has a murder charge for it. You don’t get those for no reason

        Mentally ill people are still capable of hate crimes.

        Sure so find me the part where he said he did it because he hated Jews.

        Your argument is “Any person who is attacked and happens to be Jewish = antisemitism hate crime”

        Mentally ill people are not often capable of logical rationalisation. You appear to be trying to rationalise irrational actions.

        1 attack does not equate to a national rise in hate crimes either.
