This is such a sinister story. Is the threat of antisemitic violence now so great that @britishmuseum cannot protect its own guest speakers from racist attacks?

@Daniel_Sugarman What will @IslingtonBC be doing to protect residents from hearing Ye’s ‘Heil Hitler’ or ‘Gas chamber’ songs sung by him and thousands of people in the audience for 3 nights in a row?
For Holocaust Memorial Day, the extraordinary story of Peter Kien, the Jewish artist who depicted life in the Theresienstadt Ghetto and the 55 year-long battle to retrieve them.

@ASA_UK I made a complaint last year and had an automatic response but no case number. I followed up via your website but still no response. Please can you contact me?
Bondi, Manchester, Boulder, Washington D.C.: four attacks, three continents, terrorists of different backgrounds: but all cited “Zionists”, Palestine and killing children to justify murdering Jews. This is what anti-Jewish terrorism looks & sounds like today. Link in next post.
The whole world now knows the story of Ahmed al-Ahmed, who tackles one of the Bondi terrorists.
They don’t know 30-year-old Israeli Gefen Biton is still in critical condition after getting shot three times trying to stop the same attack.
@nicolelampert@BBCNews These are the same people who claimed in their obituary of Holocaust survivor Henry Wuga that he left Germany because of ‘pre-war tensions’ and didn’t mention that he was Jewish. Took them too many goes before they got that right
They didn’t know what was happening but Boris and Sofia Gurman, 69 and 61 saw a man twice their size with a shotgun and decided to tackle him. Can you imagine the courage and bravery you’d need to do that. Don’t forget them.
Something is going very wrong in Britain.
We’re watching a country where the police seem able to shut down protests they don’t like, bend to political pressure when it suits them, and yet somehow become completely powerless when Jewish people are the ones being targeted.
A country where antisemitism is rising at levels we haven’t seen for decades, and where too many of our institutions look the other way.
And this week, two scandals show just how deep the problem now runs.
First: the West Midlands Police.
A few weeks ago, they banned Israeli and Jewish fans from attending a football match in Birmingham.
This weekend we learned that the “intelligence” used to justify that ban appears to have been based on claims that Dutch police now say were untrue, inaccurate or simply meaningless.
To the Jewish community this doesn’t look or feel like a misunderstanding, especially as the police are still defending their actions. It looks like Britain’s second-largest police force inventing intelligence to exclude Israelis, and Jews, from a football stadium in Britain. Doing this to bow to extremists who control the streets of our second city and to placate a violent mob.
And today, unbelievably, we see the same two-tier policing against Jews again.
A pro-Palestine group is protesting outside a synagogue in London. Not an embassy. A synagogue.
Because Jewish families are attending an Aliyah event, helping people move to Israel. That’s it.
The Met says there is “no legal mechanism” to stop it.
Strange. Because they did have a legal mechanism to stop a UKIP protest against immigration in Tower Hamlets a few weeks ago.
But when extremists target a synagogue, six weeks after two were murdered outside one in Manchester, suddenly the law vanishes.
Even with a massive police presence, the antisemites still reached the gates of the synagogue tonight.
So let’s be honest:
If this was happening outside a mosque, the protest would have been banned. If the victims weren’t Jewish, the police response would be entirely different. And everybody knows it.
Britain is becoming a place where Jews are told to accept second-class protection, second-class rights, and second-class policing. That cannot continue.
This country is better than this, or at least it used to be.
Compare and contrast the 2 Met responses.
Amazingly enough, there was a “legal mechanism” found in the case of Tower Hamlets, which has magically disappeared today.
You may have missed this, but in the last couple of weeks, in an area with one of the UK's biggest Jewish communities, someone has been going around daubing faeces on the entrances of Synagogues, Schools and Nurseries.
Britain, 2025.
Six Plays of the Yiddish Theatre (1916) was an anthology of six plays by four leading Yiddish-language playwrights of the early 20th century, including Sholem Aleichem and Sholem Asch: https://t.co/6g5ha0sG4N
@BFI@LWLies Empty your gun into a dying Jew you’ve just shot coming out of a Jewish museum! Throw Molotov cocktails at Jews calling for the release of the hostages Hamas took! All a-ok as long as you’re wearing a keffiyah and screaming ‘Free Palestine’
