Israel 🇮🇱 national team captain, Manor Solomon, on the match this evening against Ireland 🇮🇪

[Noa Hoffman @hoffman_noa]

I have been ranting for such a long time that the influx of Islamists into the country, aided and abetted by the hard-left and their accomplices in the charity sector, is becoming an existential crisis.

The far-left who cheerlead Islamist entryism because of their extreme privilege and lack of having a big fat Jewish ethnic minority target on their back are putting Jewish lives in extreme danger.

And, obviously, once they are done with us Christians, LGBT groups etc are next on the hit list.

This is so obvious to anyone with a brain cell but the amount of people who refuse to reckon with it is so depressing.

As an Irish Jew, I've run out of words to describe the tension in Ireland over this football match. With all this noise, I want to be clear: please do not show hostility towards the Irish players, regardless of their political stances.

We have had a mass bullying and harassment campaign against these players for months now. Not just by the fringes, but by official Ireland. Including politicians and MSM.

So-called 'activists' have shared photos of players demonizing them just for playing football against Israel. They've had antizionists breaking into hotel grounds screaming at them with speeches from a relative of Ismail Haniyeh on the megaphone.

The antizionists have bullied pubs for saying they're showing the match, they've bullied FAI members with photos shared around saying they're 'complicit to genocide', including photos of them having dinner. The media have non stop platformed anyone who wants to add to the hatred directed at our players and FAI staff.

These footballers are athletes, not politicians. They are at the pinnacle of their careers, and should never have been pushed into this political minefield.

The sacrifice they're making by playing this match is immense and cannot be understated. I have no doubt they'll be absolutely demonised by many on their return. Irish antizionists are vicious, they operate with a sense of moral infallibility and therefore feel justified in horrible abusive behavior towards anyone they deem politically impure.

With all this in mind, I urge you all to show sportsmanship. Let political differences be political differences and treat the Irish players (and obviously all players) with respect.

Do not add to the hatred directed towards them. The sacrifice they're making for the sake of playing football is something to be admired and respected.

And I ask my followers, including people outside Ireland and especially in Israel, to share this post or put it in your own words and share the message!

[The Spectator @spectator]

MI6, the Secret Intelligence Service, did not give Burnham an emphatic ‘Don’t do it’ message, but it outlined that it could risk intelligence-sharing with Israel.

‘People in 6 are pulling their hair out,’ says an influential Labour figure close to the security services. ‘They presented warnings about the consequences of doing this.’

That source even suggests that Sa’ar only took Miliband’s call after a request was passed on by MI6 via Mossad. Netanyahu routinely refuses to talk to British politicians.

A non-political source with deep roots in the intelligence community has this to say: ‘If you appear like a lightweight who will selectively virtue-signal, you’re not going to be taken seriously again.’

He says that Mossad already views MI6 as competent but overcautious: ‘The relationship was difficult because we did national security, the Israelis do national survival. I think the Israelis see us as pretty professional, but a bunch of pussies in terms of the methods that we would use.’

Hundreds of years ago they said, “we don’t hate Jews, it’s their religion”.
Then they said, “we don’t hate Jews, it’s their money”.
After that they said, “we don’t hate Jews, it’s their power”.
And now they say, “no, of course we don’t hate Jews, it’s their country”.

[Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis @chiefrabbi]

I welcomed the opportunity on Friday to meet with the Foreign Secretary, the Rt Hon. Ed Miliband. While we share fervent hopes for a future of peace and security in the Middle East, I explained why I believe the UK Government’s intended sanctions will be counter-productive and even endanger such a vision of peace.

I told the Foreign Secretary that many within the UK Jewish community will view such measures with deep dismay, at a time when the vilification of Jews, Judaism and the Jewish State has already reached unprecedented levels.

The intended policy will not influence Israeli decision-making in the way the Government intends. Instead, it risks inflicting real harm across the region. Given the obvious challenges of defining and implementing such measures, there is a clear danger that they will spiral into a de facto boycott of trade with Israel more broadly, damaging the long-term relationship between our two countries and threatening the livelihoods of tens of thousands of Palestinian workers.

These measures will also disproportionately affect British Jews because of our close religious, family, charitable and educational ties to Israel. Over recent years, we have seen repeatedly that when rhetoric towards Israel escalates, hostility towards Jews is never far behind.

I strongly condemn the reprehensible violence perpetrated against Palestinians by a small number of extremists, yet the UK Government’s proposals will only embolden the tiny minority who support such criminality, while penalising countless others who abhor it.

The stated justification for punishing an ally in this way, is Israel’s long-planned construction of homes in the E1 area. Yet successive peace efforts, from Oslo to Camp David and beyond, have envisaged a final agreement in which this area would remain under Israeli sovereignty.

It is therefore difficult to escape the painful conclusion that domestic political considerations are driving foreign policy, the impact of which is negative both for prospects for peace in the Middle East and for the UK Jewish community.

@InvertTheWing Why?

[Danny Feldman @danny_feldman]

@fullback03 Come on. This is a meaningless pre-season friendly on the other side of the world 2 days after landing. Don't read anything into it. Brentford on day 1 is all that counts.

[Ambassador Mike Huckabee @GovMikeHuckabee]

Would be easy to say NY Mayor is just an ignorant bigot, but he is not dumb. He's an evil anti-Semite who deliberately lies about serious things like "genocide" to stoke Jew hate. If anyone should be arrested, it's the Mayor of NY for incitement. NYC should be ashamed.

@piersmorgan It's happened at every world cup since the competition started. It's no surprise. If you don't like it make sure you're not in it.

[Noa Hoffman @hoffman_noa]

EXCL: Andy Burnham’s new head of political strategy is a trustee of a charity that campaigns to repatriate Isis brides and abolish citizenship stripping, The Spectator can reveal.

Matthew McGregor joined the board of the charity Reprieve in April 2022. The organisation lobbies the UK government to abolish citizenship stripping, which it describes as ‘brutal and harmful’ and 'fundamentally racist'.

The passion for abolishing citizenship stripping appears somewhat at odds with Burnham’s declaration that ‘all possible options’ should be on the table to deport the notorious grooming-gang ringleader Shabir Ahmed to Pakistan.

[Danny Feldman @danny_feldman]

@fullback03 This is part of an overall strategy we long term fans have been begging for. Time for jam today, not jam tomorrow.

[Noa Hoffman @hoffman_noa]

Would be interested to hear Andy Burnham spell out his position on the extremely serious Islamist threat to Jews and Christians in the UK. A domestic issue of the utmost importance to national security and safety of a minority.

Also yet to hear how he intends to tackle rising Islamic extremism (often aided and abetted by the far-left) which is causing many Jews here to consider moving to... Israel.

[Josh Howie @joshxhowie]

You just massively fucked up.
You just revealed the sectarian ideology your government will be beholden to.
You just revealed your compromised moral compass.
You just revealed your geopolitical naivety.
You just revealed how you’re trapped in a bubble, and which toxic bubble it is.
You just revealed how disconnected you are to the majority of this country who may not be that bothered about Israel, but are absolutely sick of the Islamists and far-left useful idiots you’re trying to appease.
You just wasted an opportunity to show yourself to be a person of integrity above party politics who would do what’s right because it’s right.
You just massively fucked up.

[Madeline Grant @Madz_Grant]

Surely his political judgment is better than this. Surely he's not stupid enough to take one of the most disliked aspects of Starmer/Hermerism – unpatriotic rule by lawyers – and double-down on it for zero political gain while budgets are tight. SURELY not https://t.co/4fBu8gZzpq

[Danny Feldman @danny_feldman]

@Billie_T This is the easily the best outcome for Palhinaha and Spurs. He doesn't fit into the RDZ way. Now he leaves as a semi cult hero with head held high and love of the fans. If he came back next season it would end very differently.

[Colin Brazier @ColinBrazierTV]

Two thirds of these Labour MPs will lose their seats at the next election. As a polity, they represent some of the lowest-calibre elected representatives ever to befoul the Commons chamber. Few have had jobs outside charities, pressure groups or Westminster. We deserve better.

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

It genuinely amused me that people think replacing Starmer will make things better.

From Boris Johnson's election onwards, we've been shuffling the bollards on the Titanic.

You have to actually change direction if you want to avoid crashing into the iceberg:

- End Net Zero
- Make business viable again
- Get welfare under control
- Fund defence
- Ensure equality under the law
- Arrest criminals and keep them in jail
- Deport illegal immigrants and close the border
- Bring the civil service to heel

Burnham will become as unpopular as Starmer within months since he isn't going to do any of that.
