Maitlis

If you are Jewish, you are subject to attack.

It is as though a religion is now being singled out and targeted for attack in this country, which is none of us have seen in our lifetimes like this.

Yeah.

I remember when we recorded the first episodes of the podcast,

After October the 7th, which was a very dark time and the reactions to it, you know, I don't want to really get all of it.

But the point I made then I would say again now is that the guy who runs the kosher butcher shop in Golders Green is no more responsible for Israeli foreign policy.

The Muslim bloke who runs the halal butcher shop is responsible for the way Hamas behaved that day.

And the idea that you target a religious community because you don't like the policies of a country is just horrific.

And I've got to say that I think...

You know, on the left, there has been this view that maybe the Jews are exaggerating a bit.

And are we taking this all?

You know, it's not what it seems.

And there are false flag exercises.

And not enough has been done by certain groups to distance themselves from some of the narratives that have been coming out.

When it is absolutely crystal clear that there is a campaign.

Now, the Iranian involvement, I mean, remains to be proven.

And it won't be that there are IRGC groups.

you know, operatives going around with cans of petrol, they will be paying kind of little local hoodlums to do their business for them.

It's rent a thug for not very much money.

And we've seen that the Russians have done that to attack a Ukrainian warehouse where people were, you know, low life thugs, idiots were hired.
