Two men arrested over Jewish charity ambulance attacks released on bail

Bail in the UK is not the same as the bail you think of in the US system. UK bail is just a conditional release from custody. They can be rearrested if further questioning is required. Pre-charge bail would pretty much never involve monetary surety, and it’s rare after charges as well. US bail is money you pay to be out of jail rather than be held in it for trial. This suggests the police are not at a point where they feel ready to actually charge these individuals with the crime.

Arrest in the UK is an investigative tool. Police will arrest under "reasonable suspicion" You will be taken to the police station and questioned about the alleged offence. Once arrested the police can only hold you for a maximum of 24 hours before they have to release you or charge you. (That 24 hours can be extended in specific circumstances which would not apply to what he was arrested for) If the police still need to gather evidence you will be released, There are 2 forms of release "Released Under Investigation" or " Pre Charge Bail". The difference is that pre charge bail has condition attached to it like maybe having to sign in at a police station every week or something The investigation will continue if more evidence comes up you may be arrested again so the police can interview about that evidence, You may released again after that

It’s always existed but was really hard to use until the law was changed in 2022 to encourage the police to apply for it and magistrates to allow it. So it’s been used a lot more very recently.

I mean yeah, that’s how government works in a just world. The government has to clear the bar to prove that a risk is real in order to detain people.

I mean, yes? Except it's actually "Hey guys, we didn't have enough proof that these two were the actual culprits for their pre-charge bail not to be set at a reachable amount, and they paid it, so they're going to be released for now. We really need to hustle to have more evidence by arraignment."

During WWII idiots vandalized my Norwegian American relatives property "'cuz, like, that's like Germans".

You haven't seen what I saw in Canada when COVID started and randos were harassing Asian looking people.

> the Baghdad bombings in 1950/51 are pretty credibly attributed to Israel backed groups of local Jews. By the claims of a Iraqi government that had regular pogroms in the decade before.

There are a couple of reasons the charges never made sense, including that there was already a massive exodus of Jews from Iraq *before* 1950 and that Israel was already struggling to accommodate all the refugees they were receiving at the time.
