I’m so upset by this graffiti attack on my grandfather’s library. Alfred Wiener had a PhD in Islamic studies and cared deeply about Arab people. To see his Holocaust archive vandalised in this way suggests an attack on Jews not a critique of Israel. It’s dismaying.
The thing here - apart from the that the bit I'm quoting says nothing about ceasefires or demos, and isn't about that - is that many Jewish kids *were* massacred, on October 7th, and no-one - apart from Jews - marched for them.
This is absolutely terrifying. News of a plane landing in Russia from Israel sparked a Jew hating mob. This is exactly what Hamas and the Islamic regime in Iran wanted to happen all over the world as a result of October 7th. This cannot be happening in 2023 - yet it is.
I'm Palestinian but I was angry with Hamas after the October 7 massacre.
I knew it would lead to war.
Yesterday I watched an anti-Zionist protest demanding the dismantling of Israel take over London.
This is the same ideology that caused the massacre in the first place.
Jewish staff members are now resigning from the @BBC over its refusal to describe Hamas as terrorists.
This is what it has come to.
We spoke with @BBCSport reporter @NoahAbrahams_ on his difficult decision to leave.

EXCLUSIVE: BBC Reporter Noah Abrahams says he resigned from his job at the broadcaster after they failed to call Hamas "terrorists".
"The BBC's refusal to use the correct terminology is unjustified... as a Jewish person - there's already enough fuel on the fire!"
