🇬🇧 Burnham has decided to throw British Jews under the bus.
"Labour has run the numbers and deemed us a small enough community to be sacrificed for a much larger and more valuable section of the electorate," writes Dov Forman. @DovForman

Why did Zack Polanski post this photo of a man wearing a T-shirt depicting a guillotine and the ominous “we’re only making plans for Nigel”. Given the recent murder of Ann Widdecombe this is GRIM.

Haifa is one of the best examples of sustained Jewish-Arab coexistence in Israel. Many Arab residents condemned the Oct 7 atrocities. Jews and Muslims have continued to coexist since then.
Ramallah has virtually no Jewish residents. Its people cheered the Oct 7 atrocities. No peaceful coexistence.
-So no prizes for guessing which area Polanski’s ‘Greens’ want to identify with.
They give themselves away time and time again
Nowhere in this article has Mr Streeting been quoted as specifying how Israel fell short. Such offhand and unsubstantiated statements fuel Jew hatred in this country & we’ve seen the consequences of that. Politicians need to avoid making incendiary comments they can’t back up.
Things are bad for British Jews - it is about to get worse. The incoming Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, shows why some of us think he is Corbyn 2.0
He reveals everything by doing his first interview about Gaza with Gary Lineker, a broadcaster whose antisemitism and pro-Palestine zealotry was so bad that even the BBC had to let him go
Runs away from Parliament into the arms of the guy dropped by the BBC. When people show you who they are, believe them the first time (and this isn't even the first time)
Former director of BBC Television Danny Cohen told the JC: "It is very disappointing to see the incoming prime minister give one of his very first interviews to Gary Lineker, who left the BBC after sharing a post about Zionism which depicted a rat - an animal the Nazis used to depict Jews.
"To make matters worse, Mr Burnham failed to challenge Lineker’s description of the conflict in Gaza as 'genocide'. This is an unproven claim which fuels antisemitism in Britain.
"All of this sends a deeply worrying signal to the Jewish community.”
This is extraordinary.
A dangerous blood libel was pushed on the BBC by a UN official who said 14,000 babies would die in Gaza in 48 hours ‘if we don’t get to them’.
An apology was given.
But the BBC kept the blood libel up and it was repeated across the world.
ABC - Australia’s version of the BBC - still decided to repeat the story, three hours after Fletcher had admitted it was wrong.
This was despite Australia’s security services saying a few weeks earlier that antisemitism was becoming dangerous and people should avoid ‘inflamed language around the Middle East’.
Soon after came the Bondi Beach massacre.
It is depressing to me as a journalist that journalists are knowingly and dangerously spreading antisemitism purely because it is clickbait.
It is so dangerous. As is the baiting rhetoric coming from our politicians.
I’m really sick of British politicians telling lies about Israel. It’s verging on the dangerous.
@labourlewis is not a child: he should understand that it is a case brought by South Africa which has accused Israel. The ICJ has made no finding and South Africa et al are trying to change the definition of genocide to fit the crime they want to accuse Israel of.
EXCL: The Green party is considering lifting economic sanctions on Iran and improving diplomatic relations with its fundamentalist Islamic regime, The Spectator can reveal.
A motion submitted to the party’s autumn conference also calls for ‘peace building’ with the IRGC and support for ‘UN-led regional security and arms-control initiatives that include Iran as a full participant’.
The foreign policy proposals on Iran are backed by numerous members of the influential Greens for Palestine group. Leaked messages from the organisation’s WhatsApp chat show participants hailing the IRGC as a ‘national liberation movement’.
Over a thousand kids, young people, families, old people - tortured, raped, slaughtered. Two hundred and fifty dragged off to tunnels. And as Israel responded to a war on multiple fronts, Burnham doesn’t think Labour criticised them enough.
FUCK! OFF!
Our new PM is a chump.
Why does no one in our political class recognise that Hamas didn’t appear and vanish on October 7? That they are still in Gaza.
That they are determined to keep fighting this war.
Is it stupidity or moral blindness?
In October it will be 90 years since the East End cockneys, Irish dockers and communists joined hands with the East End Jews to force back Oswald Mosley’s fascist Blackshirts who were there to threaten the Jews.
This year @unitetheunion will commemorate this event by erasing Jews and holding their event on Shabbat.
My friends in the Jewish community and our allies will host our own event on the Sunday which will remind people of what the Battle of Cable Street was actually about.
The Greens are going to debate whether they are an antisemitic and actual genocidal party in the Autumn.
In this flier for their ‘Zionism is racism’ motion they make clear what they mean.
The eradication of Israel.
Think about how insane and - yes - genocidal this is.
