  • Political Affairs Digest a Daily Summary of Political Events Affecting the Jewish Community
    19 May 2021 Issue 2,123 Political Affairs Digest A daily summary of political events affecting the Jewish Community Contents Home Affairs Relevant Legislation Israel Consultations Foreign Affairs Back issues Home Affairs House of Commons Oral Answers Antisemitic Attacks col 411 Mr Speaker: Before I call the Secretary of State to respond to the urgent question, I have a short statement to make. I know that all Members will be deeply concerned by the footage of apparently antisemitic behaviour that appeared online yesterday. I understand that a number of individuals have been arrested in relation to the incident, but that no charges have yet been made. Therefore, the House’s sub judice resolution is not yet formally engaged. However, I remind all Members to exercise caution and avoid referring to the details of specific cases in order to avoid saying anything that might compromise any ongoing investigation or subsequent prosecution. … Robert Halfon (Conservative): To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if she will make a statement on recent antisemitic attacks across the UK. The Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government (Robert Jenrick): No one could fail to be appalled by the disgraceful scenes of antisemitic abuse directed at members of the Jewish community in the past week. In Chigwell, Rabbi Rafi Goodwin was hospitalised after being attacked outside his synagogue. In London, activists drove through Golders Green and Finchley, both areas with large Jewish populations, apparently shouting antisemitic abuse through a megaphone. These are intimidatory, racist and extremely serious crimes. The police have since made four arrests for racially aggravated public order offences and have placed extra patrols in the St John’s Wood and Golders Green areas.

Univerzita Karlova, Fakulta sociálních věd, Institut Politologie. Katedra Politologie. Vedoucí bakalářské práce doc. PhDr. Michel Perottino, PhD. Rozsah práce: 142 931 znaků (včetně mezer) Anotace Tato bakalářská práce se věnuje komparativní analýze dvou částí strany Sinn Féin, která jako jediná relevantní strana působí jak v Irsku, tak v Severním Irsku. Obě části strany získaly v posledních volbách do parlamentů působících na Britských ostrovech nevídanou podporu a zasedají tak v irském, severoirském i britském parlamentu. Strana se jednotně prezentuje jako republikánská nacionalistická levicová strana, která usiluje o sjednocení Irska v jeden stát, a to již od svého prvopočátku na začátku 20. století. Práce se tak bude zabývat podobnostmi a odlišnostmi ve fungování strany v obou částech ostrova. Zohledněn bude vývoj strany jako takový, struktura stranické organizace, financování a programy pro volby v letech 2017 (Severoirské shromáždění), 2019 (Dolní sněmovna Spojeného království) a 2020 (Dáil Éireann).
