@LindadeCourcy AI means global companies will reconfigure global locations in the next decade. The Irish economy is precariously dependent on decisions made in boardrooms elsewhere. Jewish, anti-racist and progressive executives need to feel safe wherever they are stationed in the world.

@Boomerexistence @AdamKinzinger Effective heads of state confer privately all the time and that is how coalitions are formed - private, encrypted phone calls from leader to leader. Trump is too stupid to do government.

@MyLiberalPony @AdamKinzinger If the US wanted to change the nature of its defensive alliances it could do so. Walking away and embracing our mutual enemies isn't the way to do it. Trump lacks negotiation skills.

@JustinCombs88 @AdamKinzinger Those who want free, democratic nations to continue to exist care very much that Ukraine should not be subjugated by force.

@Boomerexistence @AdamKinzinger No allies were even privately informed that the attack on Iran was going to take place, let alone consulted. It is a disastrously ill-conceived war of choice.

@HeidiBachram Thank you for persevering, your account is a very good and useful one

[Coton @Coton37993294]

@HeidiBachram You don't have to be a "Zionist" to accept that decolonisation was often messy around the edges and realise that a peaceful world order requires nation states to recognise and cooperate with neighbours. Israel is. That's it.

Along with hundreds of others at the @CST_UK, I will be donning a stab vest tonight to help secure my community as we mark the first night of Chanukah. All of us will be thinking of the victims at Bondi Beach.

Chanukah is about Jewish resilience and perserverance and we will be working to ensure our communities can mark the holiday safely.

There will be public Chanukah menorah lightings around the world. These are usually family events like the one at Bondi Beach. If you are able to, please come and show your support and solidarity with your local Jewish community by attending one of these events or reaching out to your Jewish friends and neighbours.

All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle. Help us shine that light and keep it burning. 🕎

Former senior editor at Human Rights Watch calls out HRW & Amnesty: “There is a straight line from human rights NGOs to Bondi. They provided the blueprint for dehumanising Jews and Israelis, and have been at it ever since October 7th. Their fingerprints are on the crime scene.”

Last March I gave a lecture at Sydney University on anti-semitism and spent time with a deeply worried community. Two synagogues in Melbourne had been firebombed; children arriving at their Jewish school in Sydney saw its walls covered in swastikas. I tried to reassure the people I spoke to that there was a future for Jews in Australia but they were right, even then, to be distressed. Globalise the intifada just means kill Jews wherever and whenever you can. So I don't want to hear anyone telling me the weekly hate marches are just anti-Zionist, not murderous race hatred against Jews.

[Simon Schama @simon_schama]

Well if you're at all serious about protection, stop hate marches chanting for the globalized intifada and river to sea and give Jewish demonstrators the same rights of free speech. Do it. We've had it with crocodile tears.

@Victoria00025 From abroad he looked good: reviving a stalled economy after COVID; trying to damp down dangerously polarised political rhetoric; installing an AG who was determined not to politicise the law; building an alliance to defeat Russian aggression without risking American lives.

[United Synagogue @UnitedSynagogue]

We are aware of the planned protest outside one of our Synagogues today and are liaising with local leaders and CST. Jewish life has to be allowed to continue in this country without British Jews feeling under threat.

In memory of the girls mercilessly murdered on October 7th.

May their memory be a blessing.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

8 November 1942 | Transport no. 42 with 1,000 Jews arrived at #Auschwitz from Drancy in occupied France. After the selection made by SS doctors 145 men & 82 women were registered in the camp.

The remaining 773 people were murdered in a gas chamber. 3-year-old Monique Cofman was among them.

STATEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
30 July 2025

British hostage families are deeply concerned that hostages have been made a bargaining chip by the UK in its Palestinian State declaration statement

Since October 2023, we have represented the 7 families of the 10 hostages held by Hamas who are either British or have very close British ties, including British citizens Emily Damari (released in February 2025) and Nadav Popplewell (murdered in June 2024). We continue to represent a number of families including those of remaining hostages Avinatan Or, who is presumed alive and whose mother is British, and Yossi Sharabi, whose body is held by Hamas.

For almost two years, the British hostage families have encouraged the U.K. to use any leverage it has to help secure the release of their loved ones. They have sat in 10 Downing Street with successive Prime Ministers and Foreign Secretaries who have looked them in the eyes and promised the U.K. will do everything in its power to secure the immediate and unconditional release of their loved ones, whose detention is unambiguously a war crime.

We are concerned that the UK’s proposal risks delaying the release of the hostages. This is because the UK has said that it will recognise a Palestinian state unless Israel agrees a ceasefire. But the risk is that Hamas will continue to refuse to a ceasefire because if it agrees to one this would make U.K. recognition less likely.

The families are therefore deeply concerned that the U.K.’s approach risks disincentivising Hamas from releasing the hostages. This risks doing exactly what the Prime Minister’s statement says the U.K. will not do: reward Hamas for its heinous and illegal acts.

The British hostage families take no position on the wider politics. Their concern is to bring their loved ones home, and time is fast running out. They therefore implore the Prime Minister to provide clarity and confirm, unambiguously, that Hamas will not be rewarded and that the U.K. will not take any substantive steps until all the hostages are free.

@Ryan_Daigler I've read estimates of between 1 and 2% of people demonstrating the clinical traits even though most are never diagnosed. Maybe psychopaths (non sadistic) can be useful in senior roles (eg military) but I don't think anyone benefits from malignant narcissists in the workplace

[Ryan Daigler - Exposing Narcissistic Abuse 🚩🚩 @Ryan_Daigler]

A big problem is that so many people think psychopathy is rare. They don’t consider the possibility that they interact with them throughout their lives. We all interact with psychopaths. They are everywhere.

@HilzFuld The grand mufti would lose it if anyone called him a ‘Palestinian’. He was a Nazi and at the time Palestinian meant Jew.

@reggae_jurist @MaryAnnreports Do some research, you will quickly find out that an accelerated rate of freak weather related deaths is due to climate change and that there is no precedent in all history for such a sudden change in climate. Please don't use victims to score political points.
