You’ve been on protests and rallies countering the never ending anti-Israel hate marches in London.
You look on wondering why Saturdays in central London are allowed to become the domineering space for terror supporting hordes and their throngs of useful idiots, as they snake past the splendid museums, jaunty theatres, flagship stores and centuries old architecture which talk of deep British traditions.
Tolerance of protests is an expression of our freedom and values.
But our free country and its values must be allowed to survive.
President Macron outlawed them in France immediately after October 7th. He looks wise in retrospect.
And then across the road amid the Palestinian flags and disgusting antisemitic placards, you see men you recognise with long coats, big hats, payot, beards and white socks.
The inexplicable Neturei Karta, the ultra orthodox anti Zionists, who literally side with the deathly enemy.
It’s one thing to be a religious Jew and believe Israel can only exist from the messianic age onwards.
It’s quite another to flirt, to consort with those who chirp for Israel’s destruction.
To support Iran and its proxies.
And as you’ll hear they actually believe they’re safe standing with these terrorist supporters - and believe antisemitism started with the Zionist movement and the formation of the State of Israel in 1948.
These are the most, extreme and unpleasant views ever expressed in Jonny Gould’s Jewish state but I believe we have broad enough shoulders to take this dissent from an extreme minority - and put it in its place.
And that place is in the dustbin of the wrong side of history.
So I walked through the police cordon and stood with the repugnant Islamist agitators and hatemongers with their Palestinian flags and covered faces and confronted the frummers.
I must confess I left them, with a feeling of despair because of the sheer treachery and lack of faith in what was said to me.
I ran a poll of regular listeners to see whether I should even run this as an episode. The result was 2/3 to 1/3 in favour of running it.
So here it is. You’ll hear two members of the sect.
Jacob Miller and Alte Hochhauser.
