This activist in London spoke against Israel, saying that massacres should be “normalized.” Clearly, antisemitism is festering in even our most well-off and developed countries.
From The Daily Wire. Activist Mohammed El-Kurd earned cheers and applause from a crowd of thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters in London on Saturday, when he called to “normalize massacres as the status quo” during a speech condemning Israel and Zionism.

Though London police have acted aggressively against so-called “hate speech” that falls outside the Left’s ideology, the late response from the U.K.’s Metropolitan Police, which included a plan to “speak” to El-Kurd, earned much criticism. …
Conservative parliament member and former home secretary Suella Braverman responded to El-Kurd’s comments, writing: “Over the last 99 days we’ve seen unprecedented levels of anti-semitism. Extremism & hatred normalised on our streets. And central London turned into a no-go zone for Jewish people about once a week. The plan isn’t working if this is where we are now.”

The Metropolitan Police said they were “assessing” the comments and would then speak to El-Kurd.
“A video of remarks made by one of the speakers at yesterday’s protest in central London has been shared extensively online,” officials said in a statement Sunday. “Officers are aware of the remarks, the commentary surrounding them and the subsequent statements issued by the speaker. They are assessing the matter and as part of that assessment will be seeking to speak to the individual concerned. We will provide a further update in due course.”
Commenters on X noted that police were present during El-Kurd’s remarks, but are only now appearing to take action. …
Others commented on the U.K.’s inconsistent application of laws concerning speech.
“People can be arrested for praying outside an abortion clinic while here you make it sound as if you will be telling him he’s a very naughty boy and should mind how he goes now,” one post noted. “Is it any wonder that some members of the Jewish community no longer feel safe in Central London?”
On Sunday, El-Kurd tried to walk back the call for normalizing massacres, saying he misspoke.
“It is clear from the context of my speech on 13 January 2024 that I denounce massacres, murder, and genocide and that the closing of my speech was to state ‘we should NOT normalise massacres,’” he said. “I was also clearly referring to the massacres perpetrated by Israel against the Palestinian people.” …
Some online, however, expressed that the rest of El-Kurd’s speech aligned with his comment, which they viewed as calling for massacres of Jews. …

Father God please open the eyes and ears of those who approve of terror and violence. Let them see that their words define their own future and what they say becomes what they reap. Father open their eyes to the slippery slope on which they stand. Make clear to them that one day their feet shall slip from beneath them and they shall fall. It is only your grace and merciful hand withholding them from their end. Let them see that they repent and not be lost forever. Amen
Heavenly Father, we hear the false witness coming against Your people. Those who take no account for the heinous crimes committed against the nation of Israel. We cry out to You for their protection, peace, comfort and hope and know that You hear our prayers. Psalms 2:1-6 Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens laughs; the LORD holds them in derision. Then He will speak to them in His wrath, and terrify them in His fury, saying, “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, My holy hill.” Thank You for Your plan from of old, the one which cannot be thwarted. Thank You for Your love, which You have made available to all who would receive. Thank You for Your love of Israel and her people, which You chose. WE praise You LORD for Your redeeming power, the sacrifice of Christ and the banner of victory over the darkness in this present world. To You be all honor and glory forever! In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
