A characteristically vile piece from Owen Jones, fanning the flames of hatred:
Just when you think Owen Jones couldn’t get any lower…he does.
My primary school friend Miriam Hyman, a Jewish woman just starting her life, was killed on this bus by Islamic extremists.

While the Israel Hamas war has been a radicalising event that is not the fault of Jews or Israelis.
It is the fault of Islamic extremists, far left extremists like him and the police and our leaders who seem to think it’s easier to let people come out with Jew hatred every week than confront it.
This is Britain’s problem. The canary in the coalmine is sick: this poison has infected society.

Imagine this headline: “Jihadist’s crimes in the Middle East make the killing of Muslims in the west all but inevitable.”
The subtext is wanting to justify harm against Muslims in the west while deflecting responsibility onto Jihadists in a foreign land.
Now reverse it, and you… https://t.co/CbYFKtEpPD

Now reverse it, and you have Owen Jones justifying terrorist attacks & pogroms in the west and deflecting responsibility onto Israel.
The most dangerous and woefully ignorant person on earth is one who believes they can rationalize fundamentalism. They believe jihadists need a humanitarian motivation, because they do not understand jihad.
Ultimately, Jone’s logic can be easily dismissed as a counterfactual fallacy:
“If we leave terrorists alone, we won’t experience terrorism.” When the reality is that if we leave terrorists alone, we (both in the west and the Middle East) will experience more terrorism.
Understanding this requires understanding the psychology and philosophy of jihadists. But according to Jones, who has no familiarity, ties, experience, or connection to the Middle East:
Leave Al Qaeda alone
Leave ISIS alone
Leave Hamas alone
Leave Hezbollah alone
Leave Houthis alone
Then we will definitely all be fine.
