STOP THE CAA For years, the Campaign Against Antisemitism has abused British courts, launching private prosecutions against anti-Zionists, including me. I remain on bail pending a forthcoming trial. Help me to end the CAA's lawfare. Donate here: fightingfund.org/stopthecaa

According to the British intelligence services, the main threats faced by British citizens and especially by Muslims on our streets are not from the Islamophobic mobs or racist pogroms. Nor are they, of course, from police harassment and intimidation. No, the main threats are from Russia and Iran. They are apparently engaged in a bewildering variety of plots and ‘potentially lethal’ activities, where the main victims are Jews. Oddly, we have not had a single verified incident in which either Iran or Russia has been shown to have been involved in anything at all, in the last five years. We do know, however, that Muslims are actually under attack. And less well-known, we also know that the British state has reorganised its propaganda apparatus and added Iran as a major focus of attention to Russia, which it has been targeting since 2014. The creation of a new Hybrid Threats Directorate in the Foreign Office which acts as a ‘fusion’ clearing house for all propaganda on Russia and Iran (and also, incidentally, Gaza and China) is at the root of almost all hysterical claims that the Russians and Iran are actively carrying out ‘hybrid’ attacks in the UK. The head of the Hybrid Threats Directorate is Jonny Hall. In January this year, he admitted to the Foreign Affairs Committee that there has been a significant expansion in their propaganda work: “While we have stepped up the scale and tempo of our activity against the acute threat from Russia over the last 12 to 18 months, we are absolutely expanding both our own work, our partnerships and our engagement with our allies globally beyond Europe on what this threat picture looks like and what that means for future action.” When several ambulances were set on fire in Golders Green, the first instinct of the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Mark Rowley, was to lean into the messaging coming out of the Hybrid Threats Directorate. Speaking immediately following the incident, he claimed on 23 March 2026 that while it was ‘too early’ to officially attribute the arson to Tehran, the “rapid growth in recent years of Iranian state threats is grave”. On 1 May, according to an interview in The Times, Rowley claimed that Jewish people were at the centre of a ‘ghastly Venn diagram of hate’ as they were targeted by extremists and terrorists on the left and right, as well as state-backed actors. .............
