@ittay78 Or is there some really important context missing from the clip

[Ben (W) Fromson @BenjaminWinton]

@ittay78 Isn’t the journalist suggesting it was deliberate?!

Petition: Seek to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas https://t.co/m10NXlInMp

[Keith Kahn-Harris @KeithKahnHarris]

Reflecting on the weekend's pro-Palestinian demonstrations, I'm struck by how their detractors see define their meaning as reducible to their most extreme participants. This, I think, is a mistake. Rather, I don't think can we know what most demonstrators actually stand for 1/

I have taken a public political position (I am proud to help draft and to sign this)

I have seen the evidence

- We condemn the atrocity on 7th October
- Free the hostages
- Call terrorists, terrorists

Above all - British Jews are not alone

"On either side, the voices on the other have been received as unforgivable moral and political failures." A letter from Jewish Currents Publisher, Daniel May. 3/3

"On some parts of the left, any reaction that foregrounded Jewish grief and reached quickly for condemnation of Hamas’s atrocities appeared to obscure the root of the violence in decades of subjugation, and to distract from the ongoing atrocities in Gaza." 1/ @JewishCurrents

[Ben (W) Fromson @BenjaminWinton]

"In some parts of the Jewish community, any reaction that did not fully and forcefully condemn Hamas’s violence and bear witness to the extent of Jewish grief appeared as a moral failure and a lack of concern for Jewish lives." 2/

@chiefrabbi Anyone know how to report more incidences of this (easily and in English)? I was with a Christian Friar today in the old city who got spat on

[Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis @chiefrabbi]

It is difficult to find the words to adequately condemn such disgraceful behaviour, which is the very antithesis of Torah values. In particular, seeing children apparently following the example of those who should know better, is shameful. We have a responsibility to unequivocally reject such conduct.

@jonroiser @TheAlliance05 I think you’d be too humble to tell me that you did all this - wow! Congratulations :)

@wdpsychiatry Oh yes - lots of combos of 2 ADs, then 2 APs added as adjuncts. I’d definitely say that I developed tolerance but I couldn’t tell if I was equally bad or worse than at the beginning. Either way, I’ve spent years coming off the meds. It’ll be years more before I’m done, if ever

@BrightonPsych Where’s this quote from? It anticipates other things like the spread of particular ways of manifesting distress e.g. Eating disorders in Singapore

[Kemtrup @KemtrupTweets]

They’re both wrong. The question to have in mind is “what’s wrong?” or “what’s gone wrong” which doesn’t assume or impose a narrative on whether it is events or the pt’s internal dispositions, or both. Try listening instead of imposing ideas.

[Richard Gipps @DrGipps]

What truth is there in claims that endless therapy maketh the neurotic & ‘getting over yourself’ is the real emancipation? So Viktor Frankl, nazi-surviving existential psychiatrist, talked of the import of ‘dereflection’: the mind can get ill when self-involved, and restored to…

[Ben (W) Fromson @BenjaminWinton]

@DrGipps Excellent - a good source to help think through a possible harm of long-term therapy for some people. What’s the Frankl source?

[Ben (W) Fromson @BenjaminWinton]

@informed_ill Well done! I recently dropped from
33.6 to 32.2mg lofepramine, and it feels like it’s never going to end. Success stories are motivating :)
