The stakes are high at London’s anti-Semitism march

Whether Muslim, Jewish, Christian or atheist – and whatever your nationality – there is ample reason to stand up to the death cult that has worn the face of Al Qaeda, Islamic State and Hamas. We’ve had suicide bombs of our own in Manchester and London. We’ve also had our fair share of beheadings and stabbings on our streets. Muslims have, globally, been the biggest victims of jihadist attacks; now is the time for all people of good will to stand against such gratuitous nihilism in the streets of London. 

We have seen this already in Israel. On 7 October, up to 70 Arab-Israelis were murdered by the Islamist killers. That same day, Bedouin Arabs from the nearby town of Rahat risked their lives to save scores of Jews from the music festival and Kibbutz Be’eri. Another Arab-Israeli who was hiding with Jewish friends left their safe house to plead in Arabic with the Hamas men to spare them.
