Suppose someone gets up in a mosque and says, “Victory to the martyrs, globalise the intifada” to an audience that does not always differentiate between Jews and Israelis. That does happen. Such a person is, I suspect, wide of the wording in the amendment from my noble friend Lord Hailsham and the noble Baroness, Lady Jones of Moulsecoomb. They are not actually encouraging, inciting, facilitating or enabling another to commit an act of terrorism, unless I have misread the amendment—and I have to confess to not being a lawyer—but they are doing something. They are creating a kind of miasma that can end with what we saw at the Heaton Park synagogue in Manchester.
