MAGA clowns are posting this like it’s a good thing.
Trump getting Folarin Balogun unsuspended from the World Cup just shows you that everything he touches is delegitimate crap.
Now, if the US wins the World Cup, it will be questioned. Thanks, Trump.
It Was Supposed to Be History
I'm a Polish filmmaker living in London.
I wasn't raised to care about antisemitism. Quite the opposite.
Like many Poles of my generation, I grew up with a version of history that focused heavily on Polish suffering during the Second World War. I visited Auschwitz as a teenager, yet somehow left without truly understanding the scale of what had happened to Europe's Jews.
That changed when I was 19 and worked on Schindler's List.
For the first time, I was confronted with parts of history that had been missing from my education. Later, living in Paris and spending time in New York, I met Jewish people whose understanding of Poland, Europe and history was very different from my own. Some conversations were uncomfortable. A few were life-changing.
The more I learned, the more I realised that antisemitism didn't disappear after the Holocaust. It adapted.
Today it often arrives dressed as political activism, conspiracy theories, selective outrage, historical revisionism, or simply a double standard applied to the world's only Jewish state.
I am not Jewish. I have no family connection to Israel.
What I do have is a deep distrust of propaganda, mob thinking, and people who demand that history be simplified into slogans.
My work on antisemitism began with a simple realisation: if I could be misled about history, so could millions of others.
That is why I make films, conduct interviews, and challenge narratives.
Not because I have all the answers.
Because I spent too many years believing things that weren't true.
BTW You’re entitled to your own view, not your own facts
When evidence and opinions collide, the facts still stand
Truth isn’t decided by popularity, volume, or feelings
You need to be able to handle the truth
Polanski’s Greens - there's a hierarchy of racism
Farage/Tice’s Reform - there is a hierarchy of racism.
Same dangerous rhetoric. Needs to be challenged.
This morning at the Pinsker Centre in London, I emphasized a reality many still refuse to acknowledge:
The conflict in the Middle East is no longer simply Palestinian vs. Israeli.
It is moderates vs. radicals.
Those who believe in governance, coexistence, reform, stability, and regional cooperation — versus those who thrive on chaos, extremism, militias, and endless war.
This new divide crosses nationalities, religions, and borders.
Moderate Palestinians, Israelis, Arabs, Americans, and Europeans increasingly find themselves on the same side of history.
The future of the region will not be decided by slogans. It will be decided by which camp proves capable of delivering security, dignity, opportunity, and hope.
Hope is not the enemy. Hopelessness is.
"Why isn't there a call for a huge rally in London this weekend of every committed anti-racist in the country?"
Journalist Jonathan Freedland calls for greater solidarity with the Jewish community following the terror attack in Golders Green.

Israelis and Palestinians choose dialogue over division
These Israelis and Palestinians have lost loved ones to the conflict, but have chosen to do things differently.
They believe that by recognising their shared pain, they can help prevent future victims from the same fate.
In a joint memorial ceremony for bereaved family members, organised by the @ThePCFF, participants do not try to compare losses. Instead, they come together to recognise that every life lost is one life too many.
As attendance has grown into the thousands, so has the understanding that the path to unity is stronger than that of division.
