Oliver Dowden asks where the ‘Jewish Lives Matter’ protests were<\/h3>\n

The Deputy Prime Minister has slammed the left\u2019s hypocrisy, pointing out the lack of \u201cJewish Lives Matter\u201d protests in the wake of Hamas\u2019 slaughter.<\/p>\n

Oliver Dowden criticised the ongoing pro-Palestine protests in the UK, saying it is \u201cnot acceptable to our British values that there should be that kind of intimidation\u201d.<\/p>\n

He voiced his disappointment that Brits did not go out to march en masse in response to the slaughter of Jews in Israel last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look at the moral indignation and the clarity that we saw after the murder of George Floyd in the United States with the Black Lives Matter movement, we haven\u2019t seen across civic society the same kind of moral clarity showing that Jewish lives matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that is a cause of hurt to the Jewish community, and it is something that disappointed me as well\u201d.<\/p>\n

He added we need to see such a signal across Britain and it university campuses, \u201cthat Jewish people are safe in this country, not just for the sake of Jewish people but for the sake of British society\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sky present Trevor Phillips replied: \u201cThat is quite a statement, deputy Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you saying you think that there is a fundamental problem in this society\u2019s attitude towards Jews? In the now famous phrase \u2018Jews Don\u2019t Count\u2019, in the way some other minorities do?\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Dowden, who represents a large Jewish contingent in his constituency, said people \u201cneed to understand that antisemitism is racism, full stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe same abhorrence we show to other forms of racism, we should show towards antisemitism.<\/p>\n
