@Keir_Starmer Ah yes, the hatred:

[Yossi BenYakar @YossiBenYakar]

Top British attorney Natasha Hausdorff stunned the audience by completely destroying the Palestinian narrative about the conflict. The truth the world refuses to accept:

Palestine never existed as a sovereign Arab state.
The British Mandate of Palestine was a British territory taken from the defeated Ottoman Empire after 1917. Jews lived continuously in the Holy Land for centuries — long before modern Zionism. They were the majority in Jerusalem under Ottoman rule. Jews legally bought desert land (including the area that became Tel Aviv) and turned it into thriving cities and kibbutzim. Not a single Arab was displaced by these purchases.

The Arabs rejected the 1947 UN partition plan and launched war to destroy the newborn Jewish state. They lost. During that war, Arab armies ordered local Arabs to flee so they could “push the Jews into the sea.” Many did exactly that.

Israel has never committed genocide. It has fought for survival against repeated attempts to commit genocide against the Jewish people. Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran’s regime are the real obstacles to peace in the Middle East.

The historical facts are clear. The propaganda is not.

Share this. The truth needs to be heard.

This is a heavily used bus stop opposite the main train station in Birmingham. I used to get the bus at this stop 3x week. Last night some nutter randomly walked up to a woman there and stabbed her in the neck. The police have lost control of the city. https://t.co/UM0YEqxcp3

It must be very quiet at BBC Verify today.

Even more embarrassing is that the BBC are running advertisements about how “trust is earned”.

Oh the irony.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

Remember, no Maccabi Tel Aviv fans will be travelling to this match from Israel and yet, 700 officers will be required.

Israeli football fans were never the threat, the Islamist mobs are the real problem.

[Olly Foster @Oliver_foster_]

I was on the Huntingdon train.

I only know of one attacker, he got on the train from Peterborough. He was black mid 20’s. We ran from the back of the train to the end as everyone was screaming to run, explaining there was somebody stabbing everyone and everything.

NEW DETAILS ABOUT THE ANTISEMITIC VUELING FLIGHT INCIDENT:

The family of the 21-year-old camp director — the one we saw violently arrested and handcuffed on the floor — has shared new information.

After her arrest, the young woman was taken alone into a room inside the airport with a police officer, leaving the children scared and abandoned in the terminal.

While alone with the officer, she was told she would be banned from entering Spain for two years. He then began questioning her about Israel.

To be clear: this woman is French. She was managing a group of 40 French Jewish children, aged 13 to 15, on a trip to Spain.

There is absolutely no connection to Israel.

As a reminder, the young woman was removed from the plane by police, along with the children, for singing in Hebrew.

They were then ordered to hand over their phones and delete any videos.

When she refused to comply with this illegal and alarming demand, she was thrown to the floor and arrested, in front of 40 terrified children.

@vueling Airlines: now offering complimentary antisemitism with every flight.
A group of Jewish schoolchildren and their teacher were kicked off a plane - for being visibly Jewish. The teacher?
Arrested. The kids? Traumatized. The reason? "Passenger discomfort."
We've seen this before. Different century. Same excuse.
If this had happened to any other group, it would be a global scandal.
But when it's Jews? Silence.
• We see you. And we won't shut up.

[Never Again @Never_Again2020]

Spanish airline @vueling forcibly removed the director of a Jewish summer camp and 50 French Jewish children from a flight because "Israel is terrorist state". A prime example of how anti-Zionism and antisemitism are indelibly intertwined.

Absolutely shocking scenes from Spanish airline
@vueling who kicked off fifty French Jewish kids from a flight & violently arrested the group leader.

This antisemitism is not happening in a vacuum. It is fueled by the lies of the media. We are in dangerous territory now.

Every word of this needs to be read, reread and understood. The speed at which the purge of the Jews is happening in our culture is breathtaking. @Ayaan sees clearly what is happening and where it will go from here if not met with total rejection:

It seems clear Vylan was inciting violence and hatred.

They should be arrested and prosecuted - just like the Government insisted happen during the riots last summer.

By broadcasting his vile hatred, the BBC appear to have also broken the law.

I call on the Police to urgently investigate and prosecute the BBC as well for broadcasting this.  Our national broadcaster should not be transmitting hateful material designed to incite violence and conflict

[Rob Rinder @RobbieRinder]

At Glastonbury yesterday, a band called for “inshallah, from the river to the sea.” The crowd cheered. When I hear that phrase chanted with joy, I feel fear and - whoever you are - so should you.

Most people don’t understand what it means. But it’s been used for decades by those who want to erase Jews from where their language, faith & indigenous culture began. A place that was meant to offer refuge when the rest of the world shut its door.

I’ve spoken out against injustice & unbearable loss. I’ve made work about the ‘Nakba’ & the ongoing trauma of Palestinians.

But “from the river to the sea” doesn’t call for peace.

It calls for a world without Jews. You can stand for Palestinian rights without denying Jewish ones. You can oppose a government without wishing away a people. If your activism leaves no room for someone else’s safety, grief or history it’s not activism. It’s hate.

[Campaign Against Antisemitism @antisemitism]

“Death to the IDF.”

Now in the UK, the chants are indistinguishable from the chants in Tehran, broadcast by our state broadcaster.

Under Emily Eavis, Glastonbury has continued its headlong descent into a pit of extremism and hatred, but it is the behaviour of the BBC that is even more dangerous.

We are formally complaining to the BBC over its outrageous decision not only to broadcast Bob Vylan’s calls for death and destruction, but also to place that segment on iPlayer along with Kneecap’s performance.

Any artist claiming to be a humanitarian should be steering clear of Glastonbury, but more importantly our national broadcaster must apologise for its dissemination of this extremist vitriol, and those responsible must be removed from their positions.

That must inevitably include Tim Davie, the BBC’s Director-General, who has had more than enough chances to stop this abuse of licence fee payers’ money to platform bigots and extremists from Gaza to Glastonbury.

If this is not met with the firmest condemnation and recourse, then it is the surest sign yet that Britain is becoming a haven for hatred and unsafe for Jews.

10 June 1944. 642 men, women and children were murdered by the German Waffen SS in the village of Oradour-sur-Glane, France. The village was never rebuilt and featured at the opening episode of the classic ITV documentary series World at War.
