@sadiqkhan
for your solidarity following the antisemitic graffiti attack we experienced yesterday. We will work together to unite against hate.
Today I visited the historic Wiener Holocaust Library, the target of an unacceptable hate crime this week.
Support for a cause should never tip into abuse. Now more than ever, we must all reach for unity and understanding.

I am absolutely disgusted and shocked. The Library will be issuing a statement on Monday and redoubling its existing efforts to educate people about the Nazi genocide of the Roma. Resources
@wienerlibrary
including online exhibition
#ForgottenVictims
. This is not ok.
I don’t know what I should be more gutted or disgusted by here.. the kind of Racism that us GRT people are forced to live with every day.. that’s it’s still absolutely ok to demonise us & our demise as a joke…or the reactions of whooping & cheering from the audience..

It shouldn't need saying, but Twitter is right to have suspended Kanye West’s account. His comments are profoundly mad, bad and wrong. Anyone providing a platform for Jew hate and Holocaust denial must be stopped.

For the avoidance of any doubt I have seen the whole thing. Our statement will address Carr’s other comments as well as this clip. And no, the raising awareness argument doesn’t wash. 1. It is obvious that isn’t his sincere intent. 2. Hate speech isn’t something to propagate.

In response to the horrific and unprecedented terrorist attacks by Hamas in Israel I want to offer support to Jewish friends and colleagues today, knowing how frightening this must be. This is an unspeakable tragedy for countless innocent victims. Heartbreaking.
