In one of those pro-Hamas demonstrations held recently in London, one girl’s message on a raised placard stood out. The sign showed a stick-figure human dropping a Star of David, representing the Jewish people, in a garbage can — in other words, on the ash-heap of history. And no one seems to think she can be punished for this “hate crime.” More on this unmistakable expression of an annihilationist antisemitism can be found here: “London student calls for world clean of Jews in pro-Palestinian protest,” by Zvika Klein, Jerusalem Post, November 6, 2023:
A pro-Palestinian protester is under fire for holding a sign in a London demonstration on Saturday calling for cleaning the world of Jews.
Meet Mehak Qureshi, internship designer in K2X Tech and Part-time Barista in Costa Coffee in London whose goal is to clean the world of Jews,” a pro-Israel activist shared on X, relating to the young British demonstrator who held a sign with the wording: Keep the world clean [of Jews], while instead of writing Jews, she drew blue a Star of David.
Shai Glick, CEO of Btsalmo, a conservative Israeli lobby organization, sent an email to Goldsmiths College at the University of London, where Qureshi studies. He wrote, “A student of yours, Mehak Qureshi has been protesting in the streets with a shocking antisemitic sign that reads: Keep the world clean [of Jews]. This is a sign that simply permits and authorizes the murder of Jews. A sign that supports genocide.”
He asked, “How is it possible for such a person to study at your school?”
An additional X user tagged the London’s Metropolitan Police Service and tweeted “This charming woman was at the pro-Palestine demo last week carrying this sign. The sign calls for the genocide of Jews. Her name is Mehak Qureshi, a student at Goldsmiths. She should be arrested for incitement of racial hatred.”
Earlier this week, The Jerusalem Post reported that the UK Metropolitan Police made 11 arrests in London concerning the pro-Palestine demonstration as of Saturday evening. Although they have since announced details of arrests that may or may not have been included in the initial count.
It appears that Mahek Qureshi was not among those arrested.
Here’s what I would like to know. There is a category of offenses known as “hate crimes.” When you hold high a sign that conveys clearly the following message — that we should work to ensure the annihilation not only of Israelis, but of all Jews in the world — that surely constitutes a hate crime. And it is also an act of psychological terrorism, for this is a real threat, intended to menace the world’s Jews, by someone who is not a lonely crank, whose threats can be laughed off, but a participant in a vast demonstration filled with supporters of the terror group Hamas. Many will assume that Mehak Qureshi’s sign expresses not just her desires, but those as well of her fellow demonstrators, to rid the world of Jews. It certainly was meant to fill Jews with anxiety, that is, to terrorize them.
Would the Metropolitan Police have waited to arrest anyone holding up signs calling on the government to “deport black criminals back to Africa” or “keep Muslims out of Manchester”? Of course not. These would be understood at once to be “hate crimes.” But the police have so far not arrested Mahek Qureshi, who calls not only for the destruction of Israel and its replacement by a twenty-third Arab state by chanting “from the river to the sea/Palestine will soon be free,” but makes clear she believes Jews should be removed not just from what is now Israel, but from everywhere in the world. And there is only way to do that, she and her sympathizers understand — that is, by killing them.
Will the police do anything about Mahek Qureshi? Will she receive a stiff fine? Or a prison sentence? Let’s see if the Metropolitan Police are willing to bring “hate crime” charges against someone who publicly calls for the genocide of the Jews.
The use of hate crime charges in the UK has been political, not objective. Pointing out actual physical, not verbal, crimes that have been committed has been treated as hate crime.
It is the result of years where sharia law has been gradually taken to be UK law. Criticism of islam is a crime already.
This is the slow crawl through the institutions.
London is majority foreign, signs are in Arabic and English.
We helped the Middle East countries become very wealthy, without us they would still be riding camels in the desert. If we backed out today, tomorrow the oil wouldn’t flow and by the weekend they would be back on camels.
Its time for the UK to start returning these Anti Semites to where they came from in the first place they totally close their Borders
Mehak Qureshi, internship designer in K2X Tech and part-time Barista,
Wow a barista. Anyone surprised? I have a feeling being a barista is something she will always be, until she becomes a full fledged murderer of Jews, in the not too distant future.
Of course the police didn’t do anything. Resource problem. They’re too busy arresting Brits displaying British flags in the capitol of Britain.
And praying silently on the streets.
Mehak Qureshi defers from the hundreds of thousands (perhaps millions) of pro Hamas demonstrators in greater candor and lesser disingenuousness. Surely Roger Waters, George Galloway , Vanessa Redgrave and Jeremy Corbyn right there in London have similar genocidal thoughts. They’re just more adroit liars.
The same could be said for the staff of The New York Times, MSNBC, CNN, Barack Hussein Osama, Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and of course Rashida Tlaib.
Why would “And praying silently on the streets.” require moderation?
Here is your answer.
UK woman arrested for silent prayer outside English abortion clinic.
Queen Elizabeth died too soon. I predicted some time ago she would be required to give the annual address to Parliament in a full burqa.
GB is now a middle eastern sewer, and it is going to get worse. Mehak Qureshi will never be arrested for a hate crime, even though she is guilty of exactly that.
Hate crimes in GB are reserved for white and asian people only, against all others. No one else can ever commit a hate crime. This is baked into the thinking and practice of the legal system and the police. She could have slit the throats and beheaded three or four Jews in London, and screamed alahu-akbar all the while, and she would be heralded as a heroine, praised by and given time on the BBC, would have had at least an hour’s FAVORABLE interview on Piers Morgan’s show, and probably would have been on the docket at Parliament to receive a special honor of some sort.
The British people know what to do, but they have been cowed not to take up arms against this, they feel helpless. GB will become a muslim country, sooner rather than later.
The free and civilized world will not be safe until l ALL moslems haae been eliminated
With that in mind…
Yes, under the PA and under Hamas in Gaza. Everyone with a properly functioning brain knows that.
The Islamic religion is a total lie. Sharia law. Is communism parading as spiritual laws. The land of Pakistan was taken from India and given to the Islamists. Nobody’s raising a stink about that. After the Islamist destroy Israel, they are coming for the rest of the world.. Worldwide violent Jihad has been going on for more than 700 years.
Where I live, it’s called “Conspiracy to commit murder!” It’s an indictable offence!
This is what happens when successive governments welcomed the 3d world to displace the native English. Melanie Phillips revealed Labour’s plot several years ago. The brain dead Tories did nothing to stop it.
the humberside police [ of thoughtcrime fame ] will be onto her . they are all about actual crimes , only the thought variety . she wont be prosecuted for anything because it would be islamaphobia , and we cant have that .
she drew blue a Star of David.→ she drew a blue Star of David.
