First time back in Tel Aviv since this hall wasn’t filled with images of hostages.
I’m here to cover the election which has been billed as one of the most important in Israel’s history.
There was a moment when the plane landed (after everyone applauded which they always do) and we were on the coach to get to the terminal.
An older Jewish Israeli lady stood up and gave her seat to an Arab Israeli lady who was carrying a baby in her arms - it was a reminder of how far the real Israel is from the visions of haters.
On Tuesday nearly 2million Arabs in Israel will have a chance to vote in this election. They are the only Arabs in the Middle East who get to vote.

Is there nothing Zack Polanski can’t do?!? Puts me in mind of a young Demis Roussos. He sings, he dances, he can grow your rack! See Jews, he’s alright really!

The idea that Rooney's books have been 'banned' over her views is merely the latest idiotic assertion in a never ending series.
What is banned is support for a terrorist organisation. She has said she will use profits from her book sales to fund PA. No one is banning her books.
It's no different to a foreign widget manufacturer saying they'll use their profits to support PA and realising that if they sell them here and their financial support for PA can be traced to those sales then they will be breaking the law.
If she wants her books sold here - or wants to sell anything else - don't channel those sales to a terrorist organisation.

What took you so long @bphillipsonMP?

It’s good to hear this now, but imagine the difference to other women if you’d just been a bit braver years ago.

@Emina_ibrahim Please could I see a copy of the text of your.petition. we are facing the same Green opposition to the Equality Act guidance to protect women and girls here in Lambeth and I am keen to do something about it with other women who feel the same. Thank you

An Israeli father of six was murdered this morning in West Bank by a Palestinian terrorist while engaging in ritual immersion before the onset of Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. All while one of his sons stood and watched.

This is almost unreported in Western media. It is one of a series of attacks on Israelis this week. If we report Jewish terrorism against Palestinians, we must report Palestinian terrorism against Jews.

@benkind Fantastic achievement,Ben. Really.well done under your leadership. Thank you

In 2021 Lambeth Greens proposed scrapping many cabinet allowances

In 2022 they campaigned to scrap them

In 2024/25/26 they proposed massively cutting them

Within weeks of taking office in 2026 they proposed the most expensive allowances scheme on the table

Quite a journey 💸

Please can we not make this just about marches.
It has to be about so much more than that.
And can we not talk just about our politicians. Britain’s Jews don’t want to be a political football. We want actual action.
That means looking at:
- hate preachers in mosques
- antisemitism not being prosecuted by the CPS
- antisemitism in our political parties
- a huge swathe of the left not only ignoring antisemitism but actively encouraging it
- antisemitism being allowed to run rampant in the NEU, in our universities, and our NHS
- foreign bodies hostile to Jews and the West including the Muslim Brotherhood and the IRGC being allowed to run rampant - even collect money for their charities - while other countries proscribe them
- conspiracy theories about Jews being pushed across social media, content creators being encouraged to post it as it makes money
- and yes hate speech such as ‘globalise the intifada’ - stop the gaslighting that this is a peaceful cry
- a lack of education about antisemitism with many people thinking it began and ended with the Holocaust, and a total lack of education about antizionism.
Action has to mean actual action.

“Apprehending violent and dangerous criminals is a full contact and messy task which may appear shocking to observers with little experience of policing in the real world.”

Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley writes to Zack Polanski.

[Andrew Gilligan @mragilligan]

Saiqa Ali and Sabine Mairey, two of the Green candidates I exposed for sharing hateful views, have been arrested, the Telegraph reports. Happy to share any evidence with the police.

🚨 NEW: Two Green Party candidates have been arrested on suspicion of stirring up racial hatred for allegedly posting antisemitic comments online

One of them posted a placard that read "ramming a synagogue isn’t anti-Semitism, it’s revenge"

[Lambeth Labour @LambethLabour]

Quietly removing a candidate with no statement @GreenPartyScott @Lambethgp?

Why are you silent on racism and antisemitism?

Do the right thing: also remove the Clapham Town candidate and apologise.

Lambeth deserves better

[Lambeth Labour @LambethLabour]

Lambeth Green Party still silent and unwilling to remove their racist candidate in Clapham Town

Lambeth deserves better. Take action now @Lambethgp @ZackPolanski @GreenPartyScott
