A Muslim man, Ishmail Hussein, was stabbed in London last Wednesday. His alleged assailant has now been apprehended and charged with attempted murder.
But you wouldn’t necessarily know that if you read the headlines, watched the breaking news reports, or listened to the opinions of the commentariat and the political class.
That’s because the accused, Essa Suleiman, was the same man charged with stabbing two Jewish men later that day in the city’s Golders Green area, home to a large Jewish population.
It’s not that the British media didn’t report the attack on Hussein at all. They did, a little - but it was buried deep in articles or mentioned as a quick addendum to the story of what happened in Golders Green.
As someone who has spent my entire career in the news business, I can hear the machinery of their minds as they made those calls: it’s overcomplicated. It would ruin the headlines. It would kill the story.
