This is one of the best things I've ever seen.

@JuliaHB1 rightly calls out the blatant, morally repugnant anti-Israel bias that has completely infested BBC News.

This is what you call moral clarity.
Well said Julia. Utterly brilliant. 👏👏👏

Hundreds of Jewish students at @Columbia just published one of the most incredible student letters I have ever read.

It's not only magnificently written, but it also clearly articulates their experiences on campus for the past six months.

Their letter tells the story of what's it like being a Jewish student right now better than any professor like myself could ever do.

Please take 4-5 minutes to read their letter.

Give Jewish students a voice.

A lot of my politics over the last eight years can be explained by the fact that people tried to make this man prime minister.

In quiet moments, do you wonder a little why your social media friends are so frantically posting and spreading misinformation about just one conflict thousands of miles away? Does it seem strange to you that they are so fixated on this one comparatively tiny conflict when they seemingly have zero interest in all the others raging around the world right now? (600,000 civilians inc children killed in the last year in Sudan, 375,000 blasted to smithereens in Yemen by one of the best funded militaries in the world, countless dead in Ethiopia-Tigray, Azerbaijan-Armenia, China’s hard-oppressed Uighur Muslims, the poor Kurds endlessly smashed up by Turkey, East Timor, the list goes on.) Presumably the keyboard warriors and the marchers among your friends know that Israel, in the wake of one of the most horrific terrorist atrocities the world has ever seen, has no option but to do something, anything, to prevent it from happening again, and again, even though Israelis want nothing more than to live in peace with their neighbours? ‘Ceasefire now!’ they demand; ‘Peace!’ How do you do peace with an enemy which will settle for nothing less than your total annihilation? The answer to your wondering is this: An ancient, inexplicable, hateful obsession with Jews, with their religion, their race, and now with their one tiny country. As Douglas Murray recently said, “sometimes a flare goes up and you get to see where everybody is”. Well look around you now at the assorted antisemites, Lord Haw Haws and useful idiots demanding that Israel, our friend and ally, a beacon of democracy and freedom sitting there right between Syria, Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, does nothing to defend itself, or rather ceases to exist, as they sing their jaunty genocidal little chant “from the river to the sea”, and remember who they are and where they stand, and why the Jewish people so badly need their own safe haven in a world that periodically flares up with hatred for them.

🚨 JUST IN - "Hamas Central Command Under Shifa Hospital"

According to an Israeli Army spokesman:

- Shifa Hospital contains underground complexes used by Hamas leaders, along with a tunnel that provides access to the Hamas headquarters

- Hamas has a significant stock of fuel for its own use

- Hamas uses humanitarian infrastructure in Gaza for its activities and to protect its members and leaders

This weekend we saw hate on our streets.

Calls for Jihad are not only a threat to the Jewish community, but to our democratic values.

We will never tolerate antisemitism in our country.

And we expect the police to take all necessary action to tackle extremism head on.

[Arsen Ostrovsky @Ostrov_A]

You’ll be hard pressed to find more knowledgeable experts on international law and how it effects Israel in its response to the Hamas massacre, than barrister Natasha Hausdorff! Brilliant explanation here on BBC.

[AIRNAN @HernanArber]

In case you are worried about the civilian suffering taking place in Israel and Gaza right now, here is a good reminder:

The leaders of #Hamas are most likely sharing a cigar, while having a laugh at the sauna of their luxurious suite in #Qatar.

They have amassed a fortune from the suffering of both Israelis, AND Palestinians, while they watch their “soldiers” rape women, behead babies, and burn families alive, and then enjoy how the world fights each other on social media from their Billion-dollar castles.

Are those the “Freedom Fighters” you support? Go on! Take to the streets! Chant your “From the River to the sea…”. You are doing THEIR work, FOR FREE 🤦🏻

People have always found a reason to hate and kill Jews.

Whatever time, whatever place, people have always justified blaming something on us, and killing us.

I think the right-wing government in Israel is a disgrace.

I think the way Palestinians are treated, and have been treated, is shameful.

But if you are looking at the events of the last 24 hours and still have no sympathy with Israel or are justifying the attacks or are furious with Kylie Jenner or Zinchenko for offering support for Israel… that’s Jew hate. That’s antisemitism. Whether you want to admit it or not.

“But I’m not antisemitic!! I have no problem with Jews, I just hate Zionists!!!” Read the top of this post again.

If you’re sympathetic towards the group who have done what they have done in Israel over the last 24 hours, or if you don’t think they should be called terrorists, I’m not sure you realise Hamas are a bunch of medieval, murderous, barbaric, fascist, misogynist, homophobic, hate-filled, religious fanatical thugs.

Lastly, if you still don’t realise how many people are full of hate towards Jews, just read the inevitable reaction to this post.

People always find a reason: https://t.co/an7NI58G4h

I desperately hope this awful tragic needless waste of lives on both sides ends soon 💔🕊️
