Solidarity with the brilliant Jen Brister. This witch-hunt against her by the so-called Campaign Against Antisemitism is itself antisemitic, as it conflates the state of Israel with Jewish people.
CAA has sent a letter to the Assembly Hall Theatre in Tunbridge Wells regarding a performance some weeks ago featuring comedian Jen Brister.
We had received deeply concerning reports from two Jewish audience members who attended the performance, who observed Ms Brister initiating chants of “F*** Israel, free Palestine” from the stage, encouraging the audience to join in.
The Jewish audience members have told us that the atmosphere became more like that of a rally than a comedy performance, and that the hostility and aggression elicited by Ms Brister from the rest of the audience caused them to fear for their safety, as a result of which they felt compelled to leave the theatre.
We have written to ask the venue to confirm its position on the performance and whether it will take steps with regard to safeguarding measures for audience members to prevent similar experiences from occurring in future.
Right-wing columnists lie about the UK’s only Jewish political leader’s attempts to bring to account UK nationals who participated in Israel’s genocide. @owenjonesjourno discusses with John McEvoy.

A pessimistic view of what we could be heading to by @owenjonesjourno, but with good reason perhaps. But it’s not inevitable: we need to fight back.

A dangerous, authoritarian ban - for opposing genocide. @owenjonesjourno looks at this and the wider implications.

I see @driversteph, who plotted against @jeremycorbyn (see link) was up to no good again, as shown in WhatsApp messages with Mandelson. To think I was once asked to deliver her leaflets in a local election campaign (I told them where they could put them!) https://t.co/YeJFZnNYwZ
So Helen Mirren is claiming she received antisemitic abuse as someone called her an “evil Zionist bitch”. But she is an evil Zionist. The only word I’d question is “bitch”.
Congratulations to Crystal Palace on their win, even if it is the European equivalent of the FA Vase. I support a team that this season wouldn’t have bern able to win the FA Thimble! #CRYRAY#ConferenceLeague
Major does lots of heavy lifting in phrase Major European Final. The Conference League is to the Champions League what the FA Vase is to the FA Cup. On basis of the first-half, it shows.#CRYRAY#ConferenceLeague
@ZackPolanski The reporter takes that lazy, centrist, horseshoe view of politics - that far-left and far-right are closer to each other. Also he seems to claim, Zack, that you don’t want scrutiny despite you literally saying in the clip that you should be scrutinised.
So Hull City are getting all high and mighty saying they’ll take legal action if they lose today. So it’s all fine and hunky-dory if they win, and any injustice for, say, Wrexham will be magically forgotten. Funny that! #PlayOffFinal
