For the Jew haters, even a new bus route is a sign of nefarious Jewish power

The 310 bus is, they say, really a Jewish plot to force Muslims to live as second class citizens

I suppose it’s about as shocking as discovering that the Pope is Catholic, but even when you’ve been immersed in the world of Jew haters for as long as I have, sometimes the sheer derangement of the antisemites takes the breath away.

Every so often there’s a good news story that no one could possibly object to. No one rational, that is. Because for the Jew haters, anything which can be turned into an example of nefarious Jewish power will be.

On Monday, Transport for London introduced a new bus route, the 310, which runs between Golders Green and Stamford Hill. These are, of course, areas with substantial Jewish populations, which make the new bus of particular use to them (there has been a long campaign for such a route) but it plugs many other gaps along the route, too – Hampstead to Finsbury Park, for example.

Do you realise what this really means, though? Thankfully social media is able to help us decode what lies behind the introduction of this new bus route. It’s actually Jewish supremacy at work, forcing Muslims to live as second class citizens.

“How easily people fall back into segregation...” @QueenMoub tells us. Presumably she thinks TfL has developed some kind of Jew-dar machine that will allow it to check that only Jews are allowed on to the 310 bus.

One poster, @EsheruKwaku, has spotted what he thinks is a delicious irony: “To think one group is constantly told they don’t want to integrate, live amongst us and don’t want to adopt British culture” (presumably referring to Muslims). Because obviously the introduction of a new bus route which is helpful to some Jews is actually a demonstration of Jewish refusal to integrate, live amongst other Brits and adopt British culture.

Just in case someone like me gets the wrong end of the stick, @EsheruKwaku adds another point: “I should have said, I agree with the safety of Jewish people, as I agree with the need and safety for all.” Thanks Esheru. That’s cool of you. Oh, hold on a moment: “However what that measure does, it causes more division and increases the likelihood of antisemitism.” Yup, that’s right. Running a bus between two parts of north London, which anyone can and will use, causes more division and increases the likelihood of antisemitism. Can you run the logic by me again, please, Esheru?

Crikey, it hadn’t occurred to me but @Nugent4nil has spotted another problem: “Surely that just makes them more of a target?” Them? The Jews? The Jews on the the 310 bus? Anyone on the 310 bus? I don’t know how the people targeting “them” are going to focus only on any Jews on the bus, but maybe they will be using the same Jew-dar that @QueenMoub thinks TfL must have.

Yup. @scottishlass1st confirms this: “Exactly !! Like Protect them and no one else. Hello resentment!”

Quite right, too. As @yucca7 puts it: “people need to stop treating the Jewish like they are special because they are not.”

By now you may well have started banging your head against the wall just to make it all stop. I’m sorry, but it doesn’t and it won’t. On and on this thread of deranged Jew hate goes, all built on an innocuous story about a new bus route that some Jews will find helpful.

The point about this is that there is no special point to it. It’s just another example of the Jew hate that has been unleashed, albeit a particularly bonkers one. Anyway, I must be off. I’ve got a bus to catch.
