This is nothing short of complete submission to Islamic violence and intimidation. Let’s see them cancel Ramadan.
The Jews were slaughtered in unimaginable barbarity and this is England’s response. Horrors.
Oy humbug! London council CANCELS CHANUKAH over community tension concerns
Decision by Havering to scrap menorah event follows warning by MP Andrew Rosindell that doing so would be ‘grave insult to Jewish communities in Romford’

A London council has decided not to allow a chanukiah to be erected outside its town hall to commemorate the full eight days of Chanukah over fears it could inflame tensions between local communities.
Jewish News understands the leader of Havering Council in East London made the “highly sensitive” decision not to allow the installation due to the increase in hate crime in the borough following the 7 October Hamas terror attacks.
Instead, the council has recommended “a temporary installation” along with an “event to celebrate the beginning of Chanukah”.
It is understood that local Chabad Rabbi Aryeh Sufrin had committed to lighting the menorah, while there was also a reception planned at Romford Synagogue on 12 December.
Local Romford MP Andrew Rosindell had written to Havering Council leader Ray Morgon expressing “grave concern” over any move to halt the Chanukah celebration. In a letter seen by Jewish News, he adds: “Should this be true it would be a grave insult to Jewish communities in Romford.”
Havering Council
A leaked email seen by Jewish News reveals Havering Council, which which has no single party in overall control but is led by Havering Residents Association, admits taking “the difficult decision to pause the planned installation of the Chanukah menorah outside Havering Town Hall this year”.
It adds: “This is a hugely sensitive issue but in light of escalating tensions from the conflict in the Middle East installing the candelabra now will not be without risk to the council, our partners, our staff and local residents.”
Confirming plans for a temporary installation the email warns about concerns over “possible vandalism or other action against the installation”.
Worryingly it confirms “an increase in the number of hate crimes” in the borough “both towards the Jewish and Muslim community”. It adds: ”After consulting with the leader of the council we believe it would be unwise to move forward with the installation which could risk further inflaming tensions.”

We the True, Patriotic, LEGAL American citizens CANCEL London and all who stand AGAINST JEWS, Israel, people who abuse our taxes, and anyone else who is in our Government, FBI, IRS and those agencies and organizations affiliated, woke people, a democrat/republican that is corrupt and evil, anyone who destroys our Country, bleeding heart liberals, racist hypocrites, spinless people who sit for America’s national anthem, Terrorists of ANY KIND, drug dealers, rappers who subject filth and disrespectful lyrics especially toward women, Illegal Immigrants, unmoral acts and misguided people in denial like gays, lesbians, cross dressers and transgenders, people who abuse our taxes and our welfare system, baby killers, bigots, the lying media, liars, and people who don’t believe in G_D and try to remove him from pretty much everything!
I guess that would be like maybe more than half our population……….. YOUR ALL CANCELED!!!!!!
The Bible contains many stories of peoples that are morally corrupt starting with the world right before the great flood, to Sodom and Gamorrah, to the Moabite and Bal Peor, to Jonah and the whale, and many in between and after. It appears that nothing has changed and nothing will change until messianic times.
A Relationship with G_D period. Just like the Highlander, there can only be one. (TRUE religion.) Satan twisted the minds of many hence the reason why there are so many religions, they are all false Religions but one and to know which one is the right one, READ THE BIBLE of King James people.

Although, I could understand they’re trying to prevent riots The problem is the Muslims that want to destroy the world. They are taught hate and killing from kindergarden.

I’d rather be with majority Jewish people in my city than be around a majority Muslim people. Only Islamists, Far-Leftist Atheists, and Nazis want to remove any Jewish religion and culture from the United States – let’s prove them WRONG in their antisemitic racist delusions. Place a Christmas tree and Chanukah menorah together shining bright and proud in every window across the United States along with an Israel and United States flags on the front lawns. Of course, racist antisemites are becoming more vile and dangerous, that’s why we need to better secure our homes, defend our families and friends, and maintain contact with legal authorities. AM YISRAEL CHAI, EVERYONE!
