Breitbart: UK Hate Speech Laws Used Against Conservative Journalist

A veteran journalist in Britain, Allison Pearson, was visited by police on Remembrance Sunday regarding a social media post allegedly inciting racial hatred. The police did not disclose the content of the investigation or the identity of her accuser, leading Pearson to criticize the situation as reminiscent of Orwell's dystopia.

This incident is part of a broader trend where UK police have recorded over 120,000 non-crime hate incidents since 2014, raising concerns about freedom of speech and the effectiveness of such measures in preventing actual crimes. Critics argue that resources should be focused on real crime rather than policing social media.

A report by the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se) alleges that five UNRWA schools in Gaza are run by Hamas members, promoting a curriculum that glorifies violence and antisemitism. The report cites specific instances of educational materials that incite hatred towards Israel and celebrate acts of terrorism.

IMPACT-se claims that UNRWA has failed to address these issues, with many staff members linked to terror activities remaining employed. The findings have intensified criticism of UNRWA, particularly following Hamas's October 7 attacks, leading Israel to pass legislation banning UNRWA's operations in its territory.
