[World Jewish Congress @WorldJewishCong]

The Green Party of England and Wales adopted a policy that equates Zionism with racism and calls for Israel to be replaced by a single Palestinian state.

Zionism - the belief in the Jewish people’s right to self-determination and a sovereign state in their ancestral homeland - is a central tenet for many Jews.

Branding most British Jews and Jewish institutions ‘racist’ would only further stoke anti-Jewish hatred.

The WJC stands in full support of our affiliate @BoardofDeputies and with British Jewry.

Today, representatives of CAA are at @Conservatives’ annual conference.

This is one of a number of a party conferences that we are attending this season, taking meetings with figures from across the country to ensure that they know what needs to be done to tackle antisemitism and extremism in this country.

Politicians from all parties in Parliament, devolved government and local authorities have a role to play in restoring British values and making the UK safe again for Jews. That means going beyond warm words to strong action. We will be explaining how.

If you work in politics or policy and want to talk to us about how to fight antisemitism, please contact us.

[Amit Segal @AmitSegal]

Almost a year since the fighting stopped in Gaza, and in the face of a growing pile of evidence that no such thing occurred, anti-Israel activists are desperately trying to keep the genocide accusation alive. This week, three more complications threatened its survival. The question is how much longer they can keep it up.

Between March 2 and May 19, 2025, Israel imposed a total blockade on Gaza, betting that they had sent enough food to prevent mass starvation. It did not account for bottlenecks and hoarding. Grain prices skyrocketed. Reports of malnutrition mounted. By July, aid agencies said more than 12,000 children had been identified as acutely malnourished, the highest monthly figure on record. That month, The New York Times ran “Gazans Are Dying of Starvation” on its front page. Its most effective argument was the photo on the front page: a child with a protruding spine, cradled in his mother’s arms. That the child had cerebral palsy, and that his brother, who was not skin and bones, had been quietly cropped out, the Times admitted just as quietly days later.

The tens of thousands said to be collapsing from hunger were supposedly buried in the ministry’s count of indirect deaths. This week, the Gaza Health Ministry released the full count. There were no mountains of skeletons. Obviously. Had there been, they would have made the Times’ front page instead of a cropped photograph.

In its Annual Mortality Report for 2025, the ministry lists 24,650 registered deaths. Of those, 17,286 are attributed to “war operations” and another 1,584 to accidents. That leaves 5,780 deaths from everything else: heart disease, cancer, old age. Roughly what Gaza buried in a normal prewar year.

The report lands two years after 99 physicians wrote to President Joe Biden alleging that 62,413 people had likely died of starvation and its complications between October 7, 2023, and September 30, 2024. A 2024 letter in The Lancet floated 186,000 total deaths. In 2025, the year of the famine, the ministry’s own data shows no meaningful excess of non-violent deaths.

The creative accounting doesn’t end there. Take the infant data. Malnutrition accounted for 4.1 percent of infant deaths in 2025. In 2021, it was 4.4 percent. And 2025 was the year famine was declared in Gaza City. The ministry’s report leads with the war dead and highlights an under-five mortality rate that more than doubled. Strip out the war deaths, though, and its own figure falls to 15.8 per 1,000. In 2022, it was 13.6. Over the same period, the ministry registered 50,227 births. By its own count, Gaza’s population grew by 1.2 percent in 2025, faster than the global average. If Israel is committing genocide, it is the most incompetent perpetrator in the history of mankind.

None of this means Gazans were feasting for two years. But the most repeated accusations were not “Gazans struggle with imbalanced diet” or “Food grows scarce under war conditions,” because neither carries the rhetorical power to justify any and all action against the accused while absolving the accusers of the burden of proof.

The genocide conspiracy had a second pillar. To hide its crime, Israel had to ban the international press and silence the truth-tellers on the ground. Yesterday, the IDF revealed that of the Gazans killed during the war and presented to the world as journalists or media workers, 170 were members of terrorist organizations. 118 belonged to Hamas’s military wing. 49 to Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The remaining three to smaller factions. 17 took part in the October 7 massacre. More than 40 of their deaths had drawn condemnation from the United Nations. I’m sure that now that their identities are known, the rest will receive similar condolences.

Some of the résumés are impressive. Amro Nahid Abdel Rahman Abu Odeh worked for Reuters and Turkey’s Anadolu Agency. He was also, per the IDF, a team commander in the photography unit of Hamas’s military wing. The military published two photos of him: one holding a camera, one holding a Kalashnikov. Hassan Majdi Ibrahim Abu Warda filed for the Barq Gaza news agency and moonlighted, according to the IDF, as a sniper in Islamic Jihad’s Northern Gaza Brigade. Others on the list had worked with CNN, the BBC, AP, AFP, ABC News, Le Monde and Australia’s ABC.

Perhaps the most important pillar of the genocide libel is its senselessness. Genocides are not waged out of reasonable security concerns, nor are they triggered by atrocities committed by the victims. They are acts of pure cruelty. That is why the genocide campaign has systematically sought to sever October 7 from the Gaza war, and from history itself.

Which makes yesterday awkward. For the first time this millennium, a full year passed without a single rocket fired into Israel from Gaza. Perhaps, then, it was a war of security after all, not of extermination.

Apply Occam’s razor. There was no mass starvation. There was no war on journalists. And when it was over, Israelis were safer than before. You can explain all of that with one simple word: war. Or you can call it genocide, and simply contort the dwindling pieces of evidence to fit that conclusion.

Using Occam’s razor assumes that logic has been the accusers’ goal. Had that been the case, we would never have gotten this far. The question is not when they will recant and beg Israel’s forgiveness, but when the evidence will become so overwhelming that the lie simply cannot be sustained. Speedily, and in our days.

Britain is choosing to swap one of the most integrated immigrant success stories it’s ever had - the Jews - for a community whose membership blew up the London Underground, stabbed people on London Bridge and cut off Lee Rigby’s head

[Austin Justice @AustinJustice]

AUSTIN MAN choked a family member, carried a gun he was banned from owning, and drove drunk after a violent fight with his ex on a highway overpass. Each time, he walked away with a few days in jail. He was just arrested for selling cocaine at Barton Springs.

He’s already back on the street on a bond.

Mark Vara was one of four men rounded up last month in APD's sting at the free side of the pool after a series of break-ins.

In 2020, Vara was arrested for choking a family member. He skipped court and disappeared for months. When he was finally caught, DA Jose Garza's office knocked the felony down to a misdemeanor. He got two days in jail.

In 2023, he was caught carrying a gun, which he wasn't legally allowed to have because of that conviction. Police also said he snuck pot into jail. Garza's office declined the jail charge and reduced the gun charge. He got five days.

In February of last year, a 911 caller's line picked up what sounded like a physical fight. Deputies found Vara on the Highway 71 overpass, his car half-blocking a lane, driver's window shattered, clothes caked in mud, holding his dog. His ex-gf was gone because a stranger helped her get a ride to a gas station.

He skipped court on that one too. Three days in jail.

Three months after that sentence, police say he was dealing cocaine at Barton Springs.

His bonded out with $2,500.

15 cases since 2012. Every felony charge dismissed, declined, or reduced. Longest sentence: 90 days.

The French government was reportedly "taken by surprise" when students began rioting roughly two weeks ago. Many Europeans see Islamization gaining ground in their countries and enjoying support from Marxists: each thinks the other will bring it to power. They see their leaders doing nothing to remedy a situation that has become increasingly alarming. https://t.co/77oss0tROa

In politics, we always hear about something called an “ October surprise”.
This election, and as October 7th approaches, I call upon all to vote: mark our ballots to be the change we seek and to end antisemitism in our California schools, colleges. Together, this action will be the most powerful “ October Surprise” we can- and must—deliver. #NeverForget cannot just be a slogan. Remember. And Act.

Vote. History has shown us our lives depend upon it.

Claudia Bismark was a beloved artist who lived in Fells Point for more than 35 years.

She was 76.

On Tuesday she went to breakfast with her husband.

Charging documents say a man sat in the back of the deli and watched her husband pay in cash.

When they left, he went out the back door and followed them.

A few blocks later he came up from behind, knocked them both to the ground, and took a wallet with $150 in it.

Claudia died Thursday.

Her husband, Wade, was left with a concussion and facial injuries.

The man charged is Montray McCray, 32.

Prosecutors cited at least 5 prior convictions, and local reports list:

* Guns
* Drugs
* Theft
* Evading arrest
* Violating a protective order
* Retaliating against a witness
* Court documents also list him as a lifetime registered sex offender.

A lengthy criminal record.

A lifetime sex-offender registration.

And he was still free to walk into a market, pick out 2 victims over breakfast, chase them down and kill one of them.

For $150.

The judge held him without bail this time, and homicide charges are expected.

A woman paid with her life.

For $150.

Her neighbors are the ones who helped identify him.

Meanwhile, I couldn't find a word of national coverage.

Only local Baltimore news has covered it.

Baltimore, the least you owe Claudia is to make sure he never walks free again.

[Campaign Against Antisemitism @antisemitism]

The Green Party has today voted that Jews are racists unless they explicitly adopt an extremist purity test set out by the Party. Under that test, Jews belonging to pretty much any synagogue in the UK would fail.

The Green Party Conference’s intentions could scarcely have been clearer. They have adopted the Soviet doctrine that Zionism is racism, meaning that Green Party policy is that all peoples of the world have right to self-determination except for Jews.

Far from being anti-racist, that policy is racism in its clearest form. According to our polling, only 6% of British Jews do not identify as Zionists, and 89% consider anti-Zionism a form of antisemitism.

Whereas past leaders of the Green Party stepped forward to oppose this motion, the current leader of the Green Party showed no leadership at all, skipping the vote entirely.

On the advice of our legal team we wrote to the Green Party prior to the adoption of this motion. As the originating complainant in the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s investigation that found unlawful discrimination against Jews in Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party, we have proven before that we will not stand by and let political parties bring antisemitism into the mainstream.

Unlike Xavier Becerra, I am an immigrant.

Unlike Xavier Becerra, my father was an immigrant. My stepfather too. My whole family.

Unlike Becerra (because I've been out there listening to the people), I know Becerra's policies have destroyed the California Dream. My plans will restore it.

- More money in your pocket: Your first $150k tax free, $3.00 gas, $73 registration for your car or truck.
- A home you can afford to buy: Cut government fees and regulations on new homes by $150k.
- Relief for small business owners: Scrap $800 small business tax, stop FUTA taxes, end unfair competition from street vendors, end PAGA lawsuits.

Xavier Becerra offers NOTHING. Because he is a smug, arrogant, machine politician mediocrity who is taking you for granted. Send him a message: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

We are voting for CHANGE this year. ✊☀️

Breaking:

The Omani pilot said during his interrogation that he had planned to crash the plane into Ben Gurion Airport.

That is why he attacked the other pilot only while over Jordan, near Israel.

He planned to make a normal landing approach and, in the final seconds, when interception would no longer be possible, crash the plane into the terminal.

The plot was thwarted only thanks to the fateful decision of the injured Indian pilot to open the door at all costs.

[Gerald Posner @geraldposner]

Today the Green Party of England and Wales became the first major political party in Britain to formally declare that Zionism is racism. By a vote of 1,022 to 813 it passed a motion that also called for the abolition of the state of Israel and the establishment of a “single democratic Palestinian state in all of historic Palestine with Jerusalem as its capital”.

I have covered this fight before and I know how it ends, because we've been here already.

It harkens back to one of the most disgraceful chapters in the United Nation's long history of anti-Israel bias. On November 10, 1975, the UN General Assembly passed Resolution 3379, declaring Zionism "a form of racism and racial discrimination." It was sponsored by the Arab League and the Soviet bloc, pushed through at the height of Cold War maneuvering to isolate Israel diplomatically.

US Ambassador Daniel Patrick Moynihan called it what it was: "The Big Red Lie." It stood as the official position of the United Nations for sixteen years — a stain that told the world's Jews their claim to a homeland was, by international law, bigotry.

It took sixteen years, and the collapse of the Soviet Union, to undo it. In September 1991, President George H.W. Bush went to the UN General Assembly and announced the United States would lead the fight to repeal it. Secretary of State James Baker worked it. Moynihan pushed it. Israel made the repeal a precondition of its own participation in the Madrid peace talks. On December 16, 1991, the resolution was revoked, 111 to 25.

That was supposed to be the end of it. The world looked at the "Zionism is racism" formula, measured it against a genuine definition of racism and rejected it by a margin of more than four to one.

Today a British political party, not some tiny fringe activist group, revived it. The Greens are party with five MPs and mayors in two London boroughs, led by a Jewish leader, Zack Polanski, who tried and failed to soften the motion before his own members voted it through anyway.

Calling Zionism racism doesn't just indict a government's policies, which is fair game and happens every day in free societies. It indicts the idea that Jews, alone among peoples, have no legitimate claim to self-determination.

It took the world sixteen years to climb out of this hole once. Now a party in the country that gave the world the Balfour Declaration has climbed back in.
