Britain's Home Secretary: There Is "No Place for the Glorification of Terrorism" in the UK
(Jewish News-UK) Lee Harpin - British Home Secretary Yvette Cooper told the Community Security Trust (CST) on Tuesday in London that "there is no place for the glorification of terrorism or support for proscribed terrorist groups like Hamas, Hizbullah or Hizb ut-Tahrir. No ifs and no buts - those who proliferate that poison, on the streets or online, must always face the full force of the law." "We know from experience that events in the Middle East can and do play out in increased tension and hatred here on our streets. And while there will always be room for fierce debate and disagreement on foreign policy issues...what is not acceptable, and will never be acceptable, is using conflict in the Middle East as a pretext to attack communities here in Britain." "The horrific and soaring levels of antisemitism we have seen over the last year cannot and will not be tolerated. Not now and not ever. Because there is no place for antisemitism in this country."
