Something’s shifting about Israel and Jew hate. A slight breeze. Almost imperceptible. I felt the exact same sensation in the trans debate. There was a tilt in perception, especially when the general public found out that a male rapist was in a female prison. Before that it seemed as though nearly everyone in the world, which really means everyone in media, politicians, and those running institutions, accepted men could be women. And then reality reasserted itself against the madness, as most people clearly saw what was going on and went ‘Nah that’s bollocks, that’s not right.’ And some media and politicians got braver, and some saw which way the wind was blowing, and the mirage started to fade.
In the UK, the incessant attacks and plots against Jews has also woken the British public up. We are not bigoted. We don’t like this. We don’t like what this means for our country. And whether from bravery or self-interest, the media and politicians are slowly changing their tune. For the most part they either pushed lies about Israel, or went along with them. It’s insane what happened. Our media, politicians, and many institutions, have spent years acting as direct outlets for Islamic extremist propaganda. Just insane fucking lies. None more so than Israel is enacting a genocide. And now British Jews are being killed because of that lie. And as more time goes on, and it’s apparent the population of Gaza has in fact massively grown, the lie gets harder to push, harder to defend. Especially as the ramifications of that lie are seen in the continual violence directed at British Jews. That’s why Kemi Badenoch’s clip went so viral. She spoke for the silent majority of British people who are sick of this. They have seen the hate marches, they can see that those who were meant to inform have done the opposite, can see Jews are being attacked as a result. And they have gone “Nah that’s bollocks, that’s not right.”
This isn’t over. By a long shot. Years after Isla Bryson, the battle over women’s rights and children’s safety is still ongoing. For Jews it’s probably going to get worse, as those who’ve pushed the genocide lie, either because they hate Jews, or because it was fashionable, will double down. This includes many politicians and media. They are complicit. We are seeing some pivot and hoping no one notices, but the damage has been done and it’s going to be difficult to return to where we were, what we were. Although hopefully, those dealing in facts and evidence, no longer have the wind blowing so hard against us.
This Sunday there is a march against Jew hate. But really it’s a march against all the wankers who got us to this place. The more of the British public who come, the more who shout their defiance alongside Jews, who call out the bullshit of those who’ve shamed their roles to lead and report, then the more chance of turning a breeze into a gale. It’s time to get this country back to what we once were. A haven for Jews, a haven for fairness, tolerance, and common sense.
@GarySpedding I’m anonymous because I experienced a wave of antisemitic abuse on my other account - some of it directed at my kids. I wanted to continue the conversation without the risk. Let’s leave it here - I’m arguing with an idiot.
@GarySpedding I’m not offended - I’m historically literate; I understand how demonisation leads to violence. I’ve had many constructive conversations with people who share your views but express them in a more rational and measured way. I prefer it - it’s easier to learn from each other.
@GarySpedding Alright I’ll bite. I agree with a lot of what you said and also want a shared future. The main obstacle (on both sides) is language. It’s hard to engage with people who smear, exaggerate and demonise for the sake of making a point.
