UK: Sky News journalist justifies antisemitic attacks (by Palestinians)


A Sky News presenter justified antisemitic attacks against British Jews, in the course of a discussion on the increase in antisemitic attacks in the UK.

Of course, he says he only justifies Palestinian attacks.  I wonder if that applies to non-Palestinian Muslims, and non-Palestinian who identify with the Palestinian cause.  Are they also allowed to attack Jews, or is that right reserved only for Palestinians?  And how does he define a Palestinian?   Is a British citizen whose grandparents immigrated from Palestine allowed to kill Jews?




Jewish radio and TV presenter Jonny Gould: "It's important also to say that the Gaza War can never be a justification for an antisemitic attack, full stop. I can't add anything else to that. The fact that it is happening around the Gaza conflict and as a consequence of it might be an understanding as to how to tackle it, but it can never be justification."

Sky News presenter Eamonn Holmes: "It can, if you are Palestinian."

Jonny Gould: "If you are an anti-Semitic Palestinian, yes."
