Appalling.
@StandWithUsUK and brave Jewish students have revealed the terrible state of antisemitism at Britain’s universities.
University leaders must finally deal with this.
And it’s about time so-called ‘anti-Zionism’ is recognised for what it is - anti-Jewish racism.
Time for action.
@jonesxxx@antisemitism I believe you have got this totally wrong. Silence always only helps the aggressor. I don’t understand your point about you being a UK resident, I think everyone at that demo is a UK resident. Do their views not count?
The Home Affairs Committee’s report on the Maccabi Tel Aviv fan ban has been released.
We welcome this report, and especially the Committee’s interventions in bringing senior officers before them to testify. Had the Committee not done so, Craig Guildford might still be Chief Constable. We have met the Acting Chief Constable and he understands the scale of the mistrust that this scandal leaves behind. However, despite its positive work in its oral hearings, the Committee’s report pulls its punches, noting disturbing patterns of behaviour by senior officers but never joining the dots. It is a missed opportunity to address the impact of growing sectarianism on the life of this country. We are disappointed by the report in two key respects.
Firstly, the report fails to address the elephant in the room. The decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans was not a series of administrative blunders; it was a police force buckling to the demands of local Islamist extremists who threatened lawless riot and violence if Israeli Jews were permitted to visit their city. There is not a single reference to Islamist radicals in the report, even though it was clearly at their behest that officers at the highest levels of the force fitted up the Israeli fans as the most dangerous in international football, fabricating evidence and framing them to justify the outcome demanded by an extremist mob. It was intentional appeasement in response to extremist incitement, and senior police lied to parliament to cover it up. Some of the senior officers responsible are still in their posts, and that needs to change.
Secondly, the report deals very lightly with those who were there to oversee the police and hold them accountable, in particular the Police and Crime Commissioner, Simon Foster, who failed to hold the Chief Constable to account and then permitted him to retire on a handsome pension. Looking at the Committee’s overall assessment, it is clear that the Police and Crime Commissioner failed in his duties and must now consider his position.
At a time when the Jewish community’s trust in police is already at a record low, this debacle has plumbed new depths. Today’s report shows how urgently police forces must be cleansed of appeasers in senior positions who undermine the work of brave frontline officers by appeasing Islamist extremists. Britain was once known for its firm but fair rule of law, and the Home Secretary must now lead the charge in hastening the return of those days.
BREAKING: Hamas has released an updated casualty list, and it completely vindicates Israel.
The majority of casualties were military-aged men. If Israel were indiscriminately bombing Gaza, we'd see equal distribution.
Another one of Gaza's viral lies, debunked.
The justification for banning Israelis from Villa Park has been blown apart.
Here's my take on the select committee, which raised more questions of West Midlands Police than it answered.
We'll keep going until we get the truth. We must never surrender to the Islamists.
Let's make him famous. Who is he? This is a clear and unambiguous call for the murder of Israelis and supporters of Israel. That's not free speech, that's a crime. Are you paying attention @metpoliceuk ?
I have so many questions for Greta Thunberg after she shared the photo of Evytar David, thinking he was a Palestinian held in Israel.
Is the image of that starving man being forced to dig his own grave suddenly okay, Greta? Because it turns out he's the 'wrong' ethnicity?
Did you see his suffering and feel for him, only to learn about your mistake and go "Oh well that's fine then"?
When you thought he was Palestinian, did Evyatar's pain finally matter to you, Greta? Or was it always just a game to you?
HUGE BREAKING NEWS!
The IRON BEAM is finally here!
Israel’s Iron Beam laser defense system is now fully operational.
It has already intercepted rockets, mortars, and drones.
Defense Minister Israel Katz hailed the achievement as a “historic milestone,” noting Israel is now the first country with an operational laser interceptor.
Unbelievable. 🔥💪🇮🇱🙏🔯💥
@LordIanAustin Thankyou for standing on the right side of history. It’s shocking how so many of the world is not only silent about the hostages still held by Hamas, a proscribed terrorist group, but they legitimise it.
I saw someone comment on a cute Instagram post about Gal Gadot and her young daughter, calling the actress a “terrorist”.
So I thought I’d see who made the comment… 🧵
@mishtal Sadly I am not shocked. I wish I had been wrong but I have been telling Jews around the world that they need to come to Israel, that the world will get worse and worse for Jews., for a decade now.
