“The Met Police Are Making No-Go Areas for Jews”

by Will Jones
20 April 2024 5:00 PM

A Jewish campaigner who was threatened with being arrested by the police for being near a pro-Palestine march has accused the Met of allowing “no-go zones for Jews”. The Mail has the story.

Gideon Falter, the Chief Executive of Campaign Against Antisemitism, was pulled aside by an officer who said he was “breaching the peace” because he was “quite openly Jewish”.

Video of the confrontation, which was shared online, has sparked a furious response after an officer told Mr. Falter his presence as he tried to walk around London after going to a synagogue on Saturday was “antagonising a large group of people”.

He has now accused the Metropolitan Police failing to address “the threat of antisemitic violence” and has called for a mass demonstration by Jewish and non-Jewish people to show “no part of London should be unsafe”.

The Met has apologised to Mr. Falter and said the use of the phrase “openly Jewish” by the office was “hugely regrettable” and insisted officers were intervening not to stifle free speech, but to “keep the public, including all those taking part or opposing the protest, safe”.

In a video shared by CAA from Saturday’s march, Mr. Falter – who was wearing a kippah on his head – was seen telling the officer: “I don’t want to stay here, I want to leave.”

The officer then replies: “In that case sir, when the crowd is gone I will happily escort you out.” 

After the defiant man attempts to walk across the road in the Aldwych area, the officer blocks him and says: “I don’t want anybody antagonising anybody… and at the moment sir, you are quite openly Jewish. This is a pro-Palestinian march. 

“I am not accusing you of anything but I am worried about the reaction to your presence.”

Later on in the video, another officer says: “There’s a unit of people here now. You will be escorted out of this area so you can go about your business, go where you want freely or if you choose to remain here because you are causing a breach of peace, with all these other people, you will be arrested.”

He clarifies: “Your presence here is antagonising a large group of people that we can’t deal with all of them if they attack you… because your presence is antagonising them.”

Worth reading in full.

The CIA from the 60s had journalists planted in every major newspaper across America. Of course, they still do.

They had made somewhat of an art form of getting rid of annoying Presidents, domestic and foreign, but 1963 was messy. Nixon needed to go. Watergate achieved that.

Nixon hated the clandestine hitmen of the CIA, and could only bring himself to talk about Kennedy’s assassination as ‘the Bay of Pigs thing’. E Howard Hunt was one of the burglars, a nasty piece of CIA work present at Dallas by coincidence, and claimed he was one of the assassins. These CIA operatives were doing Nixon’s dirty work. Apparently. So we are told.

Not sure I believe any of these ‘pat’ narratives anymore.

I remember the sheer mind melting complexity of it. The Byzantine impenetrability of the story/stories. It was a maze, a labyrinth. Not unlike crazy Covid narrative and how that was spun and is now being unspun for the unthinking by intelligence led MSM.

Bernstein and Woodward. Honest brokers? Who knows? Maybe it needs a lot more reevaluation. We were a lot more naive then.

Big events are planned / executed / and then managed. Spinning the story is done by managed journalists. We remember Nixon’s paranoia. We tend to forget Harold Wilson’s. Where did the paranoia go?

you would not call those people ‘journalists’, an actual ‘journalist’ is someone who seeks out what is really going on, and reports that truthfully – there has been pretty much zero of that the last few years – these people are hacks and propagandists and various other things decent people don’t really want to associate with

Strange but true, Nixon was America’s most popular president of all time!

Were they not lefties? If I’m right, they would be cheerleading the whole thing. Unless someone thinks they were interested in the truth for its own sake and not just so they could discredit a Republican?

‘Where are the Bernsteins and Woodwards of COVID-19?’ 

A question I can answer.

Bullied, silenced, cancelled, fired.

I am not usually a fan of Dr Alexander’s ruminations on the current scene but I think this article is on the money.

By and large main stream journalists failed and badly. The net result has been a disaster for the country.

For those journalists who declined to do their jobs there is no way back, they will remain the whores of the Reset, not on their own certainly but definitely at the front of the pack alongside the irredeemable $cientists and medics.

The best book on Covid was actually written 183 years before Covid started. It’s by a Danish guy Hans Christian Anderson and was called “The Emperors New Clothes”.
It’s an analogy of a very real, and very deadly mind virus called Mass Psychosis. That illness allows large groups of people to become convinced that a delusion is actually real.
There’s also another book well worth reading called “Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds”, published in 1841 by Charles Mackay.
His most famous (and prescient quote) was:
“Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, one by one”

Whitty and Vallance knew that the virus wasn’t serious for the vast majority. They knew it had low mortality rates and they knew who was at most risk. Whitty said the severity of the virus did not justify experimental authorisation for a “vaccine.”

Yet for 18 months or so, they stood at the No.10 podium, either silent as Johnson/Hancock/ Gove/Sunak lied to the nation. Or they opened their mouths, deployed their rigged stats, and lied themselves.

In what way are their reputations enhanced? They are culpable for wrecking the economy, killing and seriously injuring tens of thousands and ruining the lives of millions.

They should be charged with Malfeasance in Public Office.

The author seems to have overlooked John Tamny’s book “When Politicians Panicked” as well as Iain Davis’ “Pseudo-Pandemic” and Justin Hart’s book “Gone Viral”.

Seems to be a serious ivory tower problem here – there has been a boatload of (real) journalists critical of everything to do with the fake pandemic since the very beginning – the problem is not these journalists, the problem is the ‘mainstream media’, call it what you will, which only employs hacks/sellouts/etc (who do NOT deserve the appellation of ‘journalist’) who will write the corporate-party line. Bit surprised to see this nonsense in DS …

A notable example of a hastily written COVID book was NY Governor Andrew Cuomo’s self-serving account, published on October 13, 2020, barely 6 months into the crisis. (link at https://a.co/d/6RvKaJt) It was as if the Captain of the Titanic had written a self-congratulatory book while his passengers were still in the lifeboats.
