That's a matter of opinion. The Muslim persecution of Jews is not only morally wrong but will not be tolerated here in Britain. They can't seek protection from persecution from our laws when they themselves are persecuting others.

What is a matter of opinion, are you suggesting that there is no persecution of Palestinians?

Why is only persecution of Jews morally wrong? By your definition of PC you are quite clearly guilty of it yourself here.

"The avoidance of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude, marginalise or insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against"

Either ALL groups are held up for scrutiny or none, you can't cherry pick your faves.

The situation in Israel/ Palestine has been going on for ever with much support for both sides of the situation. That has nothing to do with how people behave here. Are you actually saying we should tolerate Muslim persecution of Jewish people in Britain because of the issues over there?

And you talk of cherry picking!

It hasn't been 'going on forever' I never suggested it could or should change anyones behaviour in other countries and I thank you not to put words in my mouth as I have in no way even intimated that any persecution of any group be tolerated.
