Wes Streeting slammed for linking intifada chant to 'terrorist action'
Pro-Palestine campaigners have criticised British Health Secretary Wes Streeting for claiming that the protest chant "globalise the intifada" is linked to terrorism.
Streeting made the remarks in an interview with the BBC on Monday, the day after the antisemitic massacre that killed at least 15 people and wounded 40 on Bondi Beach in Australia.
Streeting said: "There will be a whole bunch of daft people in this country who've used those words online or used them in the streets, and watching the TV right now will be shouting, 'of course it doesn't mean terrorism against Jewish people'.
"I have to say to those people clearly and robustly, what on earth do you think globalise the intifada means?" he said.
"And can't people see the link between that kind of rhetoric and attacks on Jewish people as Jewish people?
