"From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage."
Hoax is not quite the right word.
Sophisticated propagandised campaign of disinformation is better.
But the anti-semites wanted to believe it of course.
The UK is in the grip of a grooming gang crisis which has damaged the lives of thousands.
The media must end victim-blaming and people must be allowed to talk freely.

We live in a no-brainer age in which the very concept of motherhood is now under attack. Thus we must come to the defence of mothers and motherhood. This seems odd, given how valued mothers have been throughout human history. Mothers provide invaluable benefits to all, and their work is priceless. As Ann Crittenden wrote in 2001, “The very definition of a mother is selfless service to another”.

People charge Israel with being a racial state, or a religious state, as if “Jewish” must mean one of those two things.
But being Jewish is neither of these.
Jews are a people — a civilization, a nation, a tribe, a history, a memory, a culture, a faith tradition, a language family, an exile story, a return story, and a shared fate.
That is not some strange exception. That is what peoples are.
Many nations are built from the same kind of thing: ancestry, language, law, religion, custom, territory, myth, trauma, victory, loss, and belonging. Some lean more religious, some more ethnic, some more linguistic, some more civic, some more tribal, some more historical. But nearly all nations are mixtures of these.
So when people pretend that “Jewish” must mean either race or religion, they are flattening an ancient people into categories too small to hold it.
“Jewish” names a people.
And a Jewish state, in that sense, is not some bizarre racial or theocratic invention. It is a national home for the Jewish people — one people among the many peoples of the world.
"There has been an amazing dynamic between the Anzac soldiers of both world wars and the Jewish people in the land of Israel. Surely this aspect must be one of the most interesting, if not significant, of our many achievements during these conflicts. It is perhaps incumbent in these days for our country to give due consideration to this dynamic, and to ensure we don’t squander what those brave soldiers achieved, both on the battlefield and in their social interaction with the Jewish population."
