London police say they have recorded an 1,353 per cent increase in antisemitic offences this month compared to the same period last year, while Islamophobic offences were up 140 per cent in the wake of the attack by Hamas on Israel, Reuters has reported.
There are just 145,000 Jews in London vs 1.3 million muslims. That helps illustrate the dimension of the whole thing.

Israel-Gaza latest news: Gaza tunnels and Hamas bases struck overnight, says Israel
¿Son los medios de comunicación antisemitas? Espóiler: sí
El supuesto ataque al hospital en Gaza nos ha vuelto a dar la medida del antisemitismo de una parte muy importante de los medios de comunicación.
@pch Also worth noting the one reason the figure of 1400 was not much higher (Israel's defences) and why the figure for Gaza's victims is always much higher than Israel's (Gaza's defences are Gazans in the form of human shields). Now it's not like Gaza hasn't been bombarded with cash. It's just they've decided to spend it on trying to destroy Israel, not on protecting its own citizens. Also Israel's losses on the ground in Gaza will be significant. Not like they are thrilled to be there.
Tejero denuncia a Pedro Sánchez por “traición a España”
El exteniente coronel asegura que las negociaciones con "independentistas catalanes, vascos y asesinos de ETA” ponen "en peligro la integridad de la patria"
Que conste, no tengo problema alguno con los palestinos. Deseo que pronto se liberen de la tiranía de Hamás y encuentren el camino a una convivencia pacífica con sus vecinos, entre ellos Israel. Sí tengo serios problemas con Podemos y Sumar, por su antisemitismo declarado y su apología del terrorismo, y con el PSOE por su silencio cómplice y cobarde. En España hay escasos judíos o palestinos en política o en puestos de influencia, y sobran necios defensores del terror.
Netanyahu es el Pedro Sánchez de la derecha israelí. Donde este para seguir gobernando se tiene que escorar cada vez más a la izquierda, Bibi se escoró a la derecha, dividió el país y solo rectificó tras la catástrofe. Quizás, en vez de criticar tanto a Israel, los sancheces y belarras de esta tierra deben mirarse en el espejo y ver como ellos mismos llevan a su país por el mismo camino pero en sentido contrario. Divide y vencerás también se traduce en, "siembra división y te vencerán".
Taking 24 hours to verify the claims of the former (due to their ability to do this), while taking two seconds to regurgitate the claims of the latter (since they don’t know how to or have the resources to verify them and so might as well just state them as fact), is not objective journalism and needs to be challenged.

The trouble arises when one side is a democracy, that communicates (more or less) transparently, provides evidence for its claims, and can have its opinions checked due to access to counter sources, and the other is a tyrannical regime that terrorizes its population to parrot the official line, provides no evidence of its claims and applies draconian measures on those who say anything “off message”.

The "traditional" media regularly apply groupthink and one of their ideas is that in any debate or conflict, both sides of the argument are always equally valid and they shoudn't take sides. In the case of the BBC, this even applied to terrorism from the IRA. The government banned Gerry Adams' voice being broadcast so they broadcast him with his words dubbed over his voice by another speaker. (1/3)
