The Silence That Speaks Louder Than the Allegations

There are moments in public life so grotesque, so revealing, that they expose far more than the incident itself.

The resurfaced allegations about Nigel Farage’s behaviour in his youth are one of those moments.

Former classmates and witnesses have described incidents involving:

  • mocking Holocaust victims,
  • hissing noises mimicking gas chambers,
  • chants including “gas them all.”

These claims have been public for years — repeated, witnessed, documented.

And yet: silence.

Let’s not pretend ignorance.
If even one-tenth of these allegations had involved a left-wing figure, the country would have been set alight.

There would have been headlines.
Rolling condemnation.
Emergency statements.

But here we are — with silence.


A silence so conspicuous it borders on complicity.


The Excuse They’re Using: “He was young.”

Seventeen.
Eighteen.
As if morality switches on at nineteen.
As if mocking genocide victims is a cheeky “youthful indiscretion.”

But here’s the truth no one wants to say:

This isn’t about teenage Farage.
It’s about the adults who’ve known these allegations for years — the same adults who insisted silence is violence — and who now choose silence with precision.

Why?
Because this silence isn’t about Farage.
It’s about protecting a political project: the Israeli state as it currently operates, and the ideological machinery justifying mass killing in Gaza.

If they admit behaviour like his is indefensible, then so is the worldview they defend.

If Farage’s past is unacceptable, then the genocide in Gaza becomes indefensible.
So they protect him — to protect the regime they dare not scrutinise.


Where Are They?

Where are the loud, self-anointed guardians of Jewish safety?
The people who declared vigilance a duty and silence a crime?

Where are they now?

  • The Chief Rabbi
  • The Board of Deputies
  • Campaign Against Antisemitism
  • CST
  • Gideon Falter
  • UK Lawyers for Israel
  • Margaret Hodge
  • Melanie Phillips
  • David Baddiel
  • Labour MPs who sprinted to condemn Jeremy Corbyn for far less

Where is their outrage about Farage?
Their moral certainty?
Their zero-tolerance stance?

Because Jewish witnesses have described Farage’s alleged behaviour:

  • mockery of Holocaust victims,
  • gas-chamber hissing,
  • “gas them all.”

And suddenly the watchdogs are asleep.

No sirens.
No statements.
No urgent condemnations.

Just silence — deliberate, strategic, useful.

This is not confusion.
This is calculation.

Condemning Farage would mean admitting that antisemitism can come from the very political camp they are protecting.


It would expose selective outrage, weaponised morality, and the convenience of blindness.


The Silence Isn’t Neutral — It’s Strategic

1. So why aren’t they condemning Farage?

If they don’t speak up the unavoidable question arises:

Why was Corbyn hunted without evidence while Farage is protected despite explicit allegations of antisemitism from Jewish witnesses?

They cannot allow that comparison — because it reveals the truth:

Their campaigns were never about consistency.
They were about using antisemitism as a weapon against anyone who challenged Israel’s actions.

And once you see that, everything snaps into place:

  • how antisemitism was weaponised to enable the destruction in Gaza,
  • how institutions fall silent,
  • how the media obediently plays its role.

This silence is not neutral.
It is part of the machinery.


2. Farage is useful to them — that’s why they stay silent

Farage defends the Israeli government, aligns with the right, and influences voters they want on-side.
He also knows that praising Israel buys him favourable media treatment — a shield he exploits.

Condemning him would cost them a political asset.
When someone is useful, principle evaporates.


3. Outrage was never universal — it was always political

Their actions reveal the real rules:

  • Some are condemned instantly.
  • Some are protected automatically.
  • Behaviour doesn’t determine the response — alignment does.

This silence exposes:

  • double standards,
  • selective morality,
  • the weaponisation of Jewish pain,
  • the willingness to scream when it helps them and whisper when it doesn’t.

Ultimately, this is about protecting Israel — and the atrocities in Gaza that legal scholars and human rights bodies warn meet the threshold of genocide.

So we ask again:

Where are they?
Where are the guardians of Jewish safety when Jewish witnesses report gas-chamber chants?

Where are the think pieces?
The emergency statements?
The televised condemnations?

Nowhere.

Because Farage is politically useful.
And Corbyn who had a provable lifetime of standing against antisemitism, was politically inconvenient to Israel and the British establishment.

And acknowledging these allegations wouldn’t just expose Farage — it would expose them.


This Silence Doesn’t Protect Jewish People — It Endangers Them

Here’s the part they refuse to face:

This silence does not protect Jewish people.
It puts them at greater risk.

By excusing antisemitism from someone useful, they force Jewish communities into a moral trap — asked to tolerate behaviour they’d condemn in anyone else.

And they reinforce a dangerous lie:

that Zionism is Judaism, and criticism of Israel is antisemitism.

This doesn’t fight antisemitism.
It fuels it.

It turns Jewish people into shields for state policy and makes real antisemitism harder to confront.

By protecting Farage, they are eroding Jewish safety — not defending it.


Enough Already

A principle that bends for Farage or for Israel isn’t a principle.
It’s a tactic.

If this concerns you too, follow and share.

Enough Already exists to call out what others quietly accept — and the more people who see it, the harder it becomes to ignore.
