The UK's Censorship Police, Prevent, Harass Woman For "Over-Identifying with Israel," Visiting That Country

What is Prevent? Google AI:

Prevent is a UK government-led, multi-agency counter-terrorism strategy designed to stop vulnerable people from being drawn into terrorism or extremist ideologies.

In reality, Prevent was created as a "counter-terrorism" organization and then very quickly mutated by the hard left into a pro-terrorism organization that is chiefly interested in harassing the Enemies of Islam.

The woman they decided to harass and accuse of being too "vulnerable" to read the news is not Jewish herself, just a supporter of that besieged nation.

Prevent decided that she is "over-identifying" with Israel and might be led astray by Evil Jewish Propaganda.

Gee I wonder if there are any people of a different religion in the UK who might "over-identify" with a foreign country and consume propaganda pumped out by that regime?

Might there be an entire global left-wing movement to falsely claim a "genocide" so that a barbaric foreign country can continue to murder and rape without military consequence?

Nah. It's probably just these turbulent Jews.

Mother referred to Prevent for 'over-identifying with Israel'

Holly Passmore says police asked why she was interested in 'Jewish issues' and described the postgraduate student as 'vulnerable'

When Holly Passmore heard a knock at her front door at about 11am on July 4 last year, she assumed it was an Amazon delivery.

Instead, the 44-year-old mother-of-two from County Durham found two plain-clothes police officers on her doorstep wanting to know why she had recently visited Israel.
"They said it was a safeguarding matter," recalled Ms Passmore, who cares for her nine-year-old son, Rex, who has severe autism, while studying for a master's degree.

She assumed they were concerned she had taken her son into a war zone.

"I said, 'Well, my son didn't go to Israel. He stayed here with my mum and my daughter, who's 20'," she recalled. But the female officer replied: "No this is about you -- because you may be at risk of manipulation."

Ms Passmore suspected her support for Israel had prompted the referral. It was only months later, when she obtained police records through a subject access request, that her suspicions were confirmed.

A police intelligence report seen by The Telegraph reveals that the referral said she "over-identified with the conflict between Israel and Palestine" and was "supportive of Israel to the point that she has travelled to Israel".

Wow -- that supportive, huh?

It also described her as having "MH" -- meaning mental health -- issues and being "vulnerable to negative influence".

"Nobody would describe me as vulnerable," said Ms Passmore, who is reading Holocaust studies at the University of Haifa.

'They only asked about Israel'

Ms Passmore said that, while she has health concerns, including severe endometriosis and adenomyosis, and has been diagnosed with ADHD and autism, she has no mental health issues.

"They knew I'm not vulnerable but they wanted to monitor me because I was advocating for Israel," she told The Telegraph.

"When they came to the door they didn't discuss my health. They only asked about Israel."

The police intelligence report Ms Passmore obtained under data protection laws acknowledged that there "is no CT [counter-terror] concern with an individual being supportive of Israel as a democracy and it would not be a CT concern for a person to travel there".

...

Ms Passmore is not Jewish, but after the Oct 7 massacre in 2023, she increasingly used her account to speak out against anti-Semitism and to express solidarity with Jewish people.

Which is why, when the Israeli embassy invited her to come to Israel, she accepted. The trip included a visit to Kfar Aza, a kibbutz attacked by Hamas terrorists on Oct 7, where Emily Damari, the British hostage, was abducted.

Three days after the police visit, on July 7, she lodged a complaint, which brought two more officers, one a superintendent, to her door.

"They said that, clearly, I'm not a terrorist," she recalled, explaining they were keen to reassure her that police did not consider her a threat or an extremist in any way.
"I thought that was strange at the time. You don't usually end up with a superintendent on your couch."

...

She also alleges that the superintendent urged her to stop discussing the case online. By then, her experience had attracted widespread attention online, helped by Darren Grimes, a local Reform UK councillor, and David Collier, a journalist and campaigner.
