🇬🇧 Aafaq Bookstore in Westminster, which is close to a synagogue, is selling a book that portrays Jews as inherently wicked and presents the antisemitic Protocols of the Elders of Zion as fact.
The bookshop was the centre of controversy last month after selling copies of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf in Arabic.

The event, promoted as a “powerful and unmissable” hour with Randa Abdel-Fattah in which she was due to discuss her new novel, Discipline, had been scheduled for October 8, the day after the third anniversary of the massacre.
Cambridge Literary Festival claimed the event had been cancelled for “operational reasons”.

🚨 Exclusive: British antisemitic influencer who blamed Israel for Berlin Pride attack exposed as convicted attempted robber
The Saviour, whom the JC can identify as Josh Kent-Smith, was jailed for a year and nine months over his involvement in a robbery in 2019
In a post from 2024, Kent-Smith stated that, around the time he got out of prison, he began learning “the truth about what’s going on in this world”.
Using the Saviour alias, he began to gain significant traction online following the October 7 terror attack, with most of his content focusing on the Gaza War and featuring him expressing his fervently anti-Israel views and promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories.

If you claim to support human rights yet can’t bring yourself to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty in Iran, you’ve revealed yourself. You don’t give a damn about people being oppressed and brutalised so long as it’s being done by the enemies of your enemies.
