The statue of Sir Winston Churchill in Parliament Square in Westminster was defaced overnight with "Zionist war criminal" and other graffiti.

A 38-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated criminal damage and remains in custody.

Officers from the Metropolitan Police were alerted shortly after 4am on Friday.

Getting aggravated by racists is illegal I guess

Intifada, they used the word intifada and that triggers the Jews

I'm not dropping a hard J here, I just mean the Jewish people

But Judaism isn't a race, these people are Eastern and Western Europeans... Ahh, this is all a farce anyway. 😔

Somebody always brings this up. Racism isn't really about race despite having the word race in it, it's just about othering. And the great thing about humans is that they can find a way to differentiate anybody into the in-group in the out group. It doesn't have to be logical.
