Campaign Against Antisemitism is writing to the Home Secretary over a policy paper produced by the National Association of Muslim Police (NAMP).
The paper, which was published on the official police.uk domain but now appears to have been deleted, was written by Khaldoun Kabbani, the then-vice president of the NAMP.
It is understood that the NAMP is associated with sixteen major British police forces, including Greater Manchester Police and West Midlands Police.
According to our polling figures, only 14% of British Jews think that the police do enough to protect them; 83% do not.
Stephen Silverman, Director of Investigations and Enforcement for Campaign Against Antisemitism, said: “The people responsible for publishing this extremist screed on the official police.uk web domain are unfit to be police officers and must be immediately investigated by their respective forces’ professional standards departments and dismissed. This is every bit as scandalous as the West Midlands Police debacle and even more so – this is not police acquiescence to Islamist extremism, it is evidence that a major national policing association has been infiltrated by or is controlled by Islamists.
“British Jews have long suffered two-tier policing that sees antisemitic crime go unpunished and faith in the police has dropped to its lowest level since our polling began. Saying that the movement for Jewish self-determination contributes to anti-Muslim hatred and that even talking about Hamas’ 7th October atrocity should be stopped is the kind of extremism we would expect to read in the opening of the prosecution case against an antisemite, not on the national police web domain.
“We are writing to the Home Secretary to ensure that this clear threat to British policing results in a clear message being sent. This cannot pass with the document being quietly deleted. Not one of the people involved in publishing this document can remain as a police officer. Furthermore, the National Police Chiefs Council must show leadership by immediately denouncing the National Association of Muslim Police for bringing policing into further disrepute in this manner. If they do not, that is perhaps more alarming than the publication of this document in the first place.”
