   Leftists Go Jew-Hunting in Britain   
      
      
      
   "When President Donald Trump’s lawyer, Robert Garson, floated the idea of   
   asylum for Britain’s Jews last month, saying “the UK is no longer a safe   
   place for Jews,” a natural response was to focus on the likelihood of   
   more terrorist attacks against Jews by radical Muslims. This concern is   
   warranted, as we were reminded last week after the conviction of two men   
   for plotting to murder hundreds of Jews in an Islamic State-inspired   
   attack in Manchester. Sky News contributor Sophie Elsworth, in a segment   
   on the convictions, echoed Garson’s words, saying that the rise of   
   antisemitism in the UK is “incredibly frightening.”   
      
   Unfortunately, it’s not just ISIS and Al-Qaeda that British Jews need to   
   fear. The populist left is engaging in its own form of Jew-hunting.   
   Consider what happened to Jewish comedian Matt Lucas this month. He was   
   harassed by a leftist activist while on an escalator at a Tube station. A   
   man filming a video that he later posted on social media greeted him with   
   the words: “Free Palestine. Free Palestine, Matt Lucas. Free Palestine.”   
   Jewish News reports what happened next:   
      
   At the top of the escalator, Lucas says: “Hi, how are you,” to the person   
   filming, “You don’t like what I’m wearing,” the person filming says, with   
   the Little Britain and Great British Bake Off star responding, “no, I   
   have no comment about it either way.” The individual filming continues to   
   follow Lucas, asking him: “You have a problem with Palestinians?” Lucas   
   responds: “No”, before attempting to push the phone away from his face.   
   The individual filming says “you can’t do that, you can’t touch my   
   stuff,” before muttering “Zionist.”   
      
   The attempt at intimidation is evident in the video:   
      
      
      
   The man who posted the video, Islamic convert Thomas Abdullah Bourne, 39,   
   uses the social media handle “White British Muslim.” It turns out he’s a   
   big fan of Jeremy Corbyn, the former leader of the Labour Party and   
   notorious antisemite, as can be seen in a photo of the two posted in a   
   Daily Mail article. The Daily Mail also reports that Bourne, a   
   fundraising consultant, has a history of showing up at pro-Palestinian   
   rallies.   
      
   The paper further notes that Lucas has not been a loud voice on the Gaza   
   war. His unforgivable crime? He signed the “No Hostage Left Behind” open   
   letter in October 2023, celebrating the release of two American and two   
   Israeli hostages — an unforgivable action to anti-Israel protesters like   
   Bourne, who apparently prefers the phrase “Death to the IDF” over “No   
   Hostage Left Behind.” Bourne attended a demonstration in support of the   
   rapper Bob Vylan, who chanted that death call at a performance at   
   Glastonbury.

   A spokesperson for Campaign Against Antisemitism commented on Bourne's   
   harassment of Lucas:   
      
   If you’re Jewish in Britain, there’s a good chance you may be harassed by   
   pro-Palestine fanatics as they attempt to force you to denounce Israel –   
   the world’s only Jewish state – in order to pass their perverse purity   
   tests.   
      
   This type of racist intimidation makes no exceptions, as actor and   
   comedian Matt Lucas found out when he was accosted while simply trying to   
   go about his day. Intimidating Jewish celebrities is not some righteous   
   form of progressive activism. It is the behaviour of dangerous obsessives   
   and needs to be called out as such.   
      
   Okay, but surely you’re safe from these leftists if you’re not a   
   celebrity and are just minding your own business at home, right? Well,   
   not if you live in an area that they want to make an “Apartheid Free   
   Zone.”   
      
   Leftist activists have been going door-to-door in cities like Brighton   
   and Sheffield, pressuring people to boycott Israeli goods. Alex Hearn,   
   director of Labour Against Antisemitism, appeared on a TalkTV segment and   
   said the canvassers are making lists to intimidate residents, calling   
   them a “totalitarian enforcement brigade.” The segment referred to this   
   activity as “Jew Hunting,” a phrase I borrowed for my headline. In other   
   words, this is nothing more than a purity test.   
      
   A former Green Party leader passed that purity test with flying colors.   
      
   A video shows Carla Denyer MP, who served as co-leader of the Green Party   
   from between 2021 and 2025, praising the “Bristol Apartheid Free Zone"   
   campaign. She calls the campaign "brilliant" and celebrates that it "got   
   over 5,000 households already signed up to boycott apartheid goods from   
   occupied Palestine – and I am one of those people who have signed up."   
   It’s no surprise that Jeremy Corbyn also supports these groups, which are   
   documenting their home visits in the same intimidating manner that Bourne   
   employed at the Tube station.   
      
   Hearn warns that “no one is pure enough for these inquisitions. Jews fled   
   the Soviet Union. They were expelled from communist Poland and fled the   
   Middle East, except from Israel, because of antizionist campaigns.”   
      
   Will they now have to leave the UK?"
