I have been editing a book called Christ the Tiger. It consists of essays on T. S. Eliot by my father, Hyam Maccoby. The book is due to be published soon. Here is the cover with the blurb:

@jackbwater I like getting hatemail -- it makes me feel I have made an impact.

Here is the link to the YouTube trailer for Christ the Tiger. The trailer's world premiere is tomorrow! If you click on "more", you will see a summary of the book that is obviously written by AI. The summary really isn't bad, which is a bit worrying:

Hirsh is right. Additionally, the systematic conflation of Judaism and Zionism, as below, and the rejection of even the slightest distinction between Jews and Israel, as below, is incitement to anti-Semitic violence. And Hirsh knows it.

Writing GENOCIDE and ISRAEL in the same tweet triggers some kind of silencing mechanism in the algorithm, and the post gets throttled.

So let's try and break Elons algorithm today...

ISRAEL IS COMMITTING A GENOCIDE IN GAZA.

If you see this & agree, like it and retweet it.

@MichaelCHilton Have just seen this -- really good to hear from you. Eliot was not my father's favourite person; but Eliot was one of my father's favourite poets. My father saw Eliot as very defective as a human being but a great and profound poet.

UJS deputy resigns from BoD:
“Yesterday, I decided to resign from the Board in protest of the leadership’s refusal to explicitly and publicly criticise the Israeli government’s ongoing genocidal assault on Gaza.”

So it is only "plausible" -- indeed, only plausible that it is plausible -- that Palestinians have a right to be protected from genocide. Might the ICJ decide in the end that Palestinians don't have a right to be protected from genocide?

JC comment:
Contrary to some media reports.... Joan Donoghue explained that the ICJ has established that it is plausible that “Palestinians had a plausible right to be protected from genocide and that South Africa had the right to present that claim in the court”.

@ChronometerJ Good luck with it.

Brody says the building could be a hospital, a school or, as in this case, a civilian apartment block that is turned into a place holding hostages, and when civilians are hired to do so they become combatants on a legal level.

Philosopher-rabbi Shlomo Brody's idiosyncratic version of military ethics and international law, See next tweet:

"when Hamas uses civilian structures and civilians as part of their armed attack, those people, those buildings, become military targets. That’s a basic of military ethics and international law.”
