After writing my entry earlier I was really in the mood for a good long trundle, so I decided to take one of my favourite routes along the Jubilee Greenway towards Stratford. This is a lovely path through east London. However, I noticed something which I think is worth noting here: there seems to have been a surge in political, pro Palestinian graffiti. I kept seeing things like “Free Palestine” and “Free Gaza” daubed everywhere. Of course, I’m not sure how significant this is, and it could just be the work of some local youths trying to stir up trouble; yet it could equally be a sign that animosity towards Israel, and in turn antisemitism, is rising. If so, then things may be heading in a very worrying direction.
