Love, not hate.

Tony Margiocchi

Photojournalist, Christian, pro Israel, anti hate.

I am Tony Margiocchi

I have been documenting the vile hate shown towards my Jewish, Israeli and Christian friends over many years. It is time to start sharing what I have seen, way past time! As I write this I am 68 years old.

I have worked in both local and national press for over 30 years.

Both local and national press have hidden what was and is happening in the UK for a very, very long time. In many cases I was there, on the ground, in London, Luton, Cambridge and many other places, documenting the truth, that they hid. You’re guess is as good as mine when it comes down to not publishing, my guess, and it is just a guess, is that they were scared of upsetting certain groups of people!

Content will be current and historical, from my own work.

I will evidence using my images and my personal ‘take’ on what I have seen.

I soldiered as a young man in the infantry, with The Poachers, (2 R Anglian), done tours, been shot at, bricked, bottled, injured and bombed, way back in the 1970’s, fighting terrorism.

I have seen hate first hand, and been the target of hate on numerous occasions, for Queen and Country. In civvy street, I went into sales, factory work, driving jobs, I could not settle, until I found a camera. Then life got interesting again.

7th October 2023 and after.

Like most of the world, I was horrified by what Hamas and the people of Gaza did on 7th October 2023. My friends and I said it would perhaps take just a week before Israel was seen as the trouble maker, despite the fact that they were the target! Babies torn from their live mothers’ wombs and slaughtered in front of the mother, before she herself was killed! Babies baked to death in ovens! Women raped to the chant of Allah Ackbar! The Nova Festival massacre! Live and even dead hostages taken back to Gaza, by what can only now be described as savages!

Suddenly the Jews were fighting back, killing their enemy, protecting their people against the Iran backed terror groups, and they were being told to stop! The word ‘proportional’ being used time and again! We were right. In less than a week the world wanted Israel to stop! To suck it up! In effect, to surrender to terrorism once again!

Activism and Golders Green.

I have been proud to stand with my Jewish cousins in religion, I have postered, attended rallies, demos and more. I still do.

Golders Green was part of my stamping ground as a young man, my Irish Catholic mother married a Jew in the 1950’s, he died, or my name would have been Litman. Then my Catholic dad came along, then me! Born in Enfield, raised in Potters Bar, my father took on the friends my mother had in her first marriage, the Grossman’s, Samuelson’s and more, they were not ‘Jews’, they were great friends. I would dine in Blooms, go to the ABC cinema and buy bread from Grodzinsky’s, Golders Green was and is a nice place to be, and my dad was born and raised in Hendon. GG is like a second home.

This blog is about real life, as seen through my lens.

Love Not Hate, is about life, learning about others, being there on the ground when all around you screams for the death of the Jews and Israel, when all Israel wants is to live in peace. Being there when a family has no food to eat. Seeing discrimination taught, promoted and then seen and taken as fact!

I am a Christian.

My religion comes directly from Judaism, we have the same, the one true God. Jesus was a Jew, not a fake ‘Palestinian’, as the haters now preach. I am proud of my religion. Proud to be Christian. How many times is Jerusalem mentioned in the Koran? Not once. My Bible however has Jerusalem mentioned many times.

I STAND WITH ISRAEL! I STAND WITH THE JEWS! AM ISRAEL CHAI.

Community Involvement

Through my photography I have promoted many local cultural groups, got them seen in the press, helped to combat knife crime in Luton. I have assisted Roma gypsies and still do. I have looked poverty in the face, seen hunger, and fed it. I am a ‘people person’.

Evidence gathering officers were

At the beginning there were maybe a couple of thousand chanting hate to Israel. The chanting is key, if you look at any cult, they capture their sheep by drummming their ideals into them by continual reppetitive chants. The PSC and others have this down to a fine art and have done it for years. The same chants, time and time again. They call out for war, death, hate and the removal of the satate of Israel. The Lefties used the same techniques back in the 1960’s and 70’s. The far Left, communists, marxists and others buzz around looking for new recruits whilst some, Like the Socialist Worker, have their names proudly displayed on placards. The hate is everywhere. The drums drown out much and the screaming of their chants by well practiced chant leaders, drowns out much else. it is what it is, a Hate Fest!

Just across from the above chanting mob was a counter protest, there the Jews, Christians and Israelis stood inside their pen, they stood proud and firm. They were not chanting for death, they just want to live in peace, a peace the other side will deny them. Indeed the most important thing to the counter protestors is the return of their stolen hostages. All the while the so called Palestinian supporters mocked them, screamed at them, it is most important to remember, this war was started by the very people the PSC is standing up for. First Hamas and the Gazan people attcked Israel on 7th october 2023, they shot Israelis, burned them alive, beheaded, cut up live babies, their savagery was recorded by them as they attacked, justifying it all by screams of Allah Ackbar! They raped women whilst chanting this, they took hostages whilst chanting this. From my personal perspective, any ‘God’ that would condone what they did would be one that I would look on as Satanic. Remember, I am a Christian.

Jewish protestors at the PSC demonstration.

There were so many placards, full of hate for the state of Israel. Calling out Israel to be baby killers, when it was the people they are chanting for, that beheaded babies, baked babies alive in ovens, even tore babies from their mothers’ womb, before killing the mother and then her unborn child. These people are savages, lower than a snakes belley. To prove my point here is a teddy bear, this is what the PSC supporters believe. They are sick.

The real rapists and murderers, were the so called ‘Palestinians’. Not Israelis.

There were maybe 7000 (maximum) at the PSC demo, they now have to place themselves in groups along Whitehall to make it look like there are many more. At the end of their main event (the speeches) their lead speaker, Jamal, stated clearly, “I will not be told where I can march by the Board of Deputies”. Then “I will not be told where I can march by the Chief Rabbi”. Then he invited everyone to follow as he was to ‘march towards the BBC’. The police had already stated that this will be a static demo, and they would be arrested if they marched. So they heeded off into Trafalgar Square, where the police blocked all exits and made several arrests.

Metropolitan police officers have a group of pro ‘Palestinian’ supporters surrounded, Trafalgar Square.

It is said there were many arrests, thank you officers. Well done the Met.
