I feel badly for the Sikh community in the UK, who are largely law-abiding.

Henry Nowak was murdered by one individual, and holding an entire community responsible for this is wrong.

[Melissa Chen @MsMelChen]

Bear in mind that during the inquiry into the Manchester Arena bombing, it came out that security guard Kyle Lawler had actually spotted suicide bomber Salman Abedi before.

Abedi was fidgety and sweating in a bulky jacket on a warm night, and carrying a large backpack. Lawler had a “bad feeling” and thought something was wrong, but he hesitated and failed to report it properly. His exact words:

“I did not want people to think I am stereotyping him because of his race… I was scared of being wrong and being branded a racist if I got it wrong and would have got into trouble.”

22 innocents were killed; hundreds scarred for life.

This bloodbath should have been the final wake-up call about the lethal insanity of “anti-racism” and the deranged cult that treats being called racist as the ultimate unforgivable sin.

Instead, Britain doubled down and rammed this poisonous ideology even deeper into the College of Policing’s training.

Time to scrap the race-baiting training and fire the ideologues. Or keep burying more young, innocent Brits.

[Haviv Rettig Gur @havivrettiggur]

This is inversion so callous it's hard to believe.

The Holocaust had a survival rate of about 30%. Millions of people disappeared from European cities and towns over several years. Everybody knew because it was happening all around them.

Gaza has a survival rate, despite the worst and most deadly and horrible periods of the war, of 97%.

All the dead Jews were noncombatants. A large percentage of the dead Gazans were combatants.

And the Jews of Europe, even as their millennia-old civilization was being systematically wiped out, wanted nothing from the societies that surrounded them except to be allowed to live in peace.

Gaza's leadership of religious fanatics, meanwhile, wants every last Israeli dead and gone, is willing to fight to the last Gazan to achieve that aim, has said so publicly and worked for decades to blow up every peace attempt -- and even now believes that Gaza's destruction would be a worthwhile sacrifice to lay on the altar of Israel's destruction, because their god told them so.

So Israelis can reasonably believe, given those features of the Gaza war that aren't true about any genocide ever, and were pretty much the opposite of what was happening in the Holocaust, that Gaza's suffering is a bad and painful war, but not remotely a genocide.

But the point of it all, of course, is not to analyze Gaza, but specifically to lump it together with the Holocaust -- to cast the Jews as the new Nazis.

The only reason this person would dare to make such an insanely ahistorical and immoral parallel is because this is the heart of the bigoted propaganda campaign in which he enthusiastically participates: The point of it all is to make the Jews into the Nazis.

A culture that obsessed about Jews being evil and was then shocked by the Holocaust into obsessing about dead Jews as the apotheosis of righteous victimhood is now obsessively engaged in knocking Jews off that moral pedestal they themselves put them on.

That's why they don't care one whit about Hamas massacres of Gazans, about genocidal wars in Syria or Yemen (even when they've funded and armed the sides), about flotilla activists currently held by the Libyans...literally nothing triggers a response except Jews.

They still, even after all these generations, no matter what else is happening in the world or in their own societies, can't stop thinking about Jews.

And as we Jews learned in the 1940s -- the actual, historical 1940s, not the weird fantasies conjured up by these bigots -- a whole society can be in the grip of a callous, destructive bigotry and still believe it is true and righteous.

#BuyIsraeliMay2026 - Buycott Weekend coming up. Let's keep buying Israeli! 🇮🇱💙🇮🇱💙🇮🇱

Friday 29th-Sunday 31st May 2026

Some ideas for those who have been asking how best to support:

- Many of the large supermarkets have Israeli imports, so you will often find fruit, veg and herbs - dates, mangoes, avocados, etc. M&S tends to have a bigger selection than most (although given their behaviour for the last couple of years, I hesitate in recommending them but if you shop there then head to the food section!)

- Ocado also has a great range of Israeli food imports (h/t again, @goddessnemo2)

- In some supermarkets you'll also see a section of an aisle where they have Israeli and kosher foods. Not every supermarket has this but some do.

-There are lots of goodies to be found if you shop online, so if you put 'Israeli giftboxes' into Google for example, there will be a nice selection of things to buy.

- Etsy is great for buying directly from Israeli artists and craftspeople.

- If you put 'buy from Israel' into Google, then you will see lots of sites selling all sorts of things from Israel from beauty products to jewellery and everything in between.

- Amazon is also good for things like halva and other goodies.

- And of course you can also put 'Israeli products' into Google and that will come up with all of the boycott lists from the paliw⚓️s, which are great for finding Israeli goods and services too😄🖕🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

If you have any favourite purchases for people looking for 🇮🇱shopping inspiration, please feel free drop them in the comments together with some info as to where they can be bought or ordered.

[Rawan Osman روان عثمان @RawaneOsmane]

Many Jews — young and old — grapple with the same haunting question: why such persistent, irrational hatred toward such a small minority?

Let’s be clear about one thing upfront: the Palestinian cause is not the root of this hatred. It is, however, its current Zeitgeist — the vessel through which antisemitism expresses itself today. It is worth noting that this conflict would never have become a global rallying cry had Jews not been one of the parties involved. Dozens of far bloodier and more protracted conflicts around the world draw barely a whisper of international outrage. The disproportionate obsession is itself the tell. Antisemitism is far older and far deeper than any modern political conflict, and it has always found a new costume to wear in every era.

Humanity is not inherently kind. We are not all born with pure hearts. Human beings have the capacity to go either way — toward good or evil — shaped by circumstance, upbringing, education, and environment.

Think of the world as a classroom. The Jew is the quiet, high-achieving student who dresses differently and keeps to himself. Around him, several dynamics play out simultaneously: some classmates mock him simply because he stands out, feeding a tribal instinct to ridicule difference. Others — the troublemakers — scapegoat him to deflect attention from their own failings. Still others resent his achievements out of plain jealousy. These groups don’t need to coordinate. Their interests intersect naturally, and so the ganging-up becomes reflexive, dressed in whatever pretext the moment offers.

The truth is that Jews are different — and the hatred flows precisely from that difference. They introduced something radical to the human story: the Torah, the Ten Commandments, a structured moral framework designed to tame the darker impulses of human nature. This was a revolutionary idea — that regardless of culture, geography, or personal circumstance, human beings could be held to a universal ethical standard and steered away from the abyss.

That mission forged a legacy of intellectual and moral leadership. Jews have been trained across generations to question, to learn, to innovate. As a result, they have disproportionately driven ideological movements, scientific breakthroughs, and cultural revolutions. And for that, they are rarely credited — but almost always blamed.

Unexpected change in the right direction for Sweden. 🇸🇪

[Liza Rosen @LizaRosen0000]

Muslims all over Europe are freaking out after Sweden made a historic and courageous decision: it will no longer use the term “Islamophobia,” coined by the Muslim Brotherhood, because it is a politically manipulated concept aimed at silencing criticism of Islam.

Swedish Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard announced that her government will push the European Union and the United Nations to stop using this fraudulent term.

The concept of “Islamophobia” was deliberately designed to equate legitimate criticism of Islamic doctrine with racism. It was weaponized to shut down discussion about core Islamic texts containing commands to wage war, rape, and subjugate non-Muslims.

Sweden just recognized what millions of Europeans already know: criticizing a religion that openly calls for the murder and sexual enslavement of non-believers is not a phobia, but basic common sense and self-preservation.

This is a massive blow to the Islamist lobby across Europe.

Do you agree with Sweden’s decision?

[Kelvin MacKenzie @kelvmackenzie]

The Telegraph is exclusively reporting that the Golders Green attacker was Essa Suleiman , a British national born in Somalia ( how did that happen?) who had been jailed for 9 years in 2005 for knifing a police officer and his dog.
PC Neil Sampson had been called to an incident at a house in Swindon when attacked by Suleiman with a bread knife.
The officer was stabbed repeatedly in the head, face and leg. His dog was knifed in the chest.
The judge said he shouldn’t be released until he was no longer considered a risk to the public. Mmmm.
Suleiman was referred to Prevent in 2020 but the case was closed later that year.
I wonder how many more Suleimans are out there? The entire Jewish population of the UK would like to know.

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

No, Prime Minister.

You could have banned hate matches.

You could have banned pro-Iranian regime groups.

You could have cracked down on mosques spewing Jew hatred.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR PHONE OUT IN PUBLIC IN CENTRAL LONDON! Was stood waiting to cross the road at corner Marble Arch and Oxford Street just now and turned to see bloke on very fast electric bike heading up behind me. I turned and he turned away. I stood and watched as it was obvious what was going to happen next and sure enough, he snatched the phone of a young woman stood at the bus stop. Then off down Oxford Street for more. Face fully covered. If we had a police force in London this could easily be stopped, but instead, dozens of people a day have their lives made shit by these vermin. I’m in a shop writing this. Put your phone away on the streets. Take care. Be safe.

[Jim Chimirie 🇬🇧 @JChimirie66677]

There is a deep fracture running through the heart of Britain's justice system, and the acquittal of the Palestine Action ram-raiders has just torn it wide open.

An Israeli-owned arms factory was attacked in the early hours of the morning. A prison van was driven through a perimeter fence and used as a battering ram. Protesters entered the site wearing red jumpsuits, wielding sledgehammers, flares and fire extinguishers. Police were confronted. A serving officer's spine was fractured. None of this is disputed. Much of it was caught on camera. And yet six activists walked free.

They were cleared not because the acts did not occur, but because the law was quietly bent around their cause. Violence was reframed as protest. Weapons were downgraded to tools. Intent was dissolved into belief. The jury was not asked to judge what was done, but what the defendants claimed to feel. Justice was not blind; it was selective.

In any functioning legal system, motive does not neutralise violence. You do not get to ram-raid a factory because you "genuinely believe" you are on the right side of history. You do not get to swing a sledgehammer near a police officer because you "did not intend" to hurt anyone. You do not fracture a spine and then retreat behind moral sincerity. Since when did belief become a defence? Since violence began to be graded by politics.

The truth is uncomfortable but obvious. If the same acts had been carried out by a nationalist group – a prison van driven into a factory linked to Gaza, police injured in the process – the outcome would have been swift and brutal. There would have been terrorism charges, exemplary sentences, and sermons about deterrence. No indulgence. No benefit of the doubt. Everyone knows this. Including the police.

That is why the Police Federation's response matters. It was measured, restrained, and quietly damning. Officers expect the law to stand behind them when they are seriously injured in the line of duty. In this case, it did not. What they saw instead was hesitation, indulgence, and a system fearful of being seen as firm. A state that cannot protect its own officers evenly cannot expect loyalty in return.

This was not an isolated failure. It fits a pattern the public has learned to recognise. Tweets are criminalised. Jokes are investigated. Peaceful protesters are kettled, searched, and charged. Meanwhile, organised militant groups who cloak themselves in fashionable causes are handled with gloves, caveats and excuses. The law has not been rewritten; it has been selectively applied.

And that is why trust is draining away. Not because people want chaos, but because they can see that order is no longer neutral. Justice now depends on who you are, what you believe, and which slogans you carry. When juries are encouraged to weigh belief over action, the rule of law is already wobbling. When courts fear public reaction more than principle, the state has begun to retreat.

This verdict will be studied. It will be tested. Others will learn from it. The message sent was not that violence is unacceptable, but that violence is negotiable – provided it comes wrapped in the right ideology.

That is the real scandal. Not six people walking free, but a system quietly admitting it no longer applies the law evenly. When that happens, public anger is not irrational. It is the last remaining form of honesty.

[Dinesh D'Souza @DineshDSouza]

Hatred of Jews doesn't just appear randomly; it emerges in dying, decadent societies. When Western civilization tolerates open, unashamed Jew-hatred, it is in moral decay. This isn't just prejudice fueled by mainstream medias lies about the Israel-Palestine conflict, it's ideological grooming by anti-Christian, anti-American, bad-faith actors who use hatred of Jews as their main vector to attack the West itself.

[Chris Philp MP @CPhilpOfficial]

It is a shocking that the Palestine Action thugs were acquitted

Smashing up property and attacking a female police officer with a sledgehammer leaving her with a fractured spine is despicable

There is no justification for this, no matter how strongly someone feels about something

In this country, we decide issues by debate and elections not by violence

This verdict risks giving the green light to mob violence in pursuit of a political objective

[Kosher @koshercockney]

Wow. Went back and listened to this.
