00:00It's an absolute solidarity to Sadiq Khan and indeed all Muslims who are facing rising Islamophobia in our communities.
00:06It's totally unacceptable when it's far-right thugs.
00:09It's much more unacceptable when this is coming from elected people who are meant to be in positions of responsibility,
00:14who should understand the effects that their words have and how divisive that is for communities.
00:19Ultimately, we need to make sure that this is a time that politicians in public life should be bringing people
00:24together.
00:24And I know that as a Jewish man. I face anti-Semitism in my life.
00:28Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia are two sides of the same coin.
00:32And there are far too many people who are very vocal about anti-Semitism, as they should be,
00:36but don't seem to find their voice on Islamophobia.
00:39We need to tackle all hate crime and all racism and comments like this just debase our public life.
