Britain’s Labour Party sells out its Jews for votes
Britain seems ready to throw its Jews to the wolves — or the British left, at least.
A long, steady rise in antisemitic violence erupted in a bellwether crime Monday when vandals torched four ambulances in Golders Green, a center of Jewish life in London.
Police quickly identified the burning of the ambulances, owned by the Hatzolah volunteer emergency squad, as a probable hate crime.
Open hatred of Jews is now common in Britain, thanks to a growing Muslim population whose worst extremists get little more than meek sighs of concern by the governing Labour Party, whose leaders believe they can no longer win majorities without the Muslim vote.
To be fair, the Conservatives have fallen down, too: Outrages like the decade-long coverup of “grooming gangs” — rape rings — proceeded on the Tories’ watch, too.
But Labour’s antisemitism problem is far worse; it’s festered for years.

Yes, the party has expelled hundreds of members for open bigotry — but it still appeals discreetly to the antisemitic vote.
Feckless Prime Minister Keir Starmer has built a “two-tier” system of justice that fiercely prosecutes anything approaching right-wing expressions of prejudice — e.g., questioning on social media why recent “migrants” get priority in housing — while excusing or ignoring actual acts of open bigotry from the Muslim left.
Muslim extremism is responsible for almost all terror-related violence in the United Kingdom, but police routinely downplay it, classifying it as “misogyny” or “conspiracy theories” rather than naming it for what it is.
Anti-Israel marches and protests routinely include calls to kill Jews, such as the notorious “Khaybar” chant, though march organizers get away with calling these “unofficial” voices.

Authorities give kid-glove treatment to pro-Hamas and Hezbollah demonstrations, with flags and pictures of “martyred” heroes like Hassan Nasrallah, though both groups are outlawed terror organizations.
Back to the police “grooming gang” coverups: For fear of seeming to profile the mostly Pakistani immigrants who trafficked and abused white British girls, cops sometimes arrested victims who complained, or even handed them back to their rapists.
This scandal has been unfolding since the 1990s, yet it keeps happening.
And for over a year, Labour blocked and then bumbled efforts to open a national inquiry into the grooming gangs.
Starmer bends over backward to pander to the extremist vote, for example, saying he is “delighted” to welcome Islamist Alaa Abd el-Fattah to Britain after his release from an Egyptian prison — though El-Fattah says the Holocaust didn’t happen, calls British people “dogs and monkeys,” urges his followers to burn Downing Street and kill Zionists and says he hates white people because he is “a racist.”
All is not lost: In a truly regal response to the ambulance arson, King Charles III stepped forward Monday night to become a patron of the Community Safety Trust, a Jewish charity that provides security for synagogues and schools.
God save the king, but Britain will need a lot more bold leadership to excise the antisemitic rot that’s spread so deeply into its government and all too much of its society.
