Beautifully said by the Mayor of Haifa, Yona Yahav.
Haifa is a wonderfully diverse city, where people of all backgrounds live, work, study and relax on the beach together.
The bigotry displayed by the Green leadership in Hackney is deeply unfortunate.

BREAKING: The Red Cross confirms the Palestinian toddler—previously claimed to be tortured by the IDF—was healthy when handed over. Any injuries occurred after his return or were pre-existing.
Another viral lie that has been debunked.
Good morning, everyone.
From yesterday’s Sunday Independent. Of any piece on antisemitism I have written, I put the most thought into this one, and I do hope you will do me the honour of reading it in full. The piece focuses on themes of identity, loyalty, betrayal, and with whom one’s fate belongs.
As Irish Jews continue to be alienated in Irish society, I relay one plea from the Irish Jewish community: listen to us.
‘I think often of the quote by Polish communist Isaac Deutscher, who stated after The Holocaust that he had “long since abandoned my anti-Zionism, which was based on a confidence...in European society and civilisation, which that society and civilisation have not justified”.
In refusing to listen and accept the concerns of its Jewish sons and daughters, Irish society has punctured the confidence that many of us had in this great nation and, indeed, has strengthened the case for Zionism.
“Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country” is a famous phrase by yet another esteemed son of Ireland. This is a value the Jewish community have lived by since their arrival here in the 1600s. It is not too much to ask for one thing in return: listen.’
I want to thank the Sunday Independent for asking me to write another piece. As the poll results included in my article illustrate, this is not a popular subject to write on in this county. In order for the Jewish community to be listened to, it first must be heard. A platform such as this is most appreciated.
Fahad Ali is one of the main leaders of the Palestine activist movement in Australia.
In June he wrote: “Fuck sanctions, I want Zionists executed.”
He got his wish at Bondi.
Deport.
Many Jewish events - here & elsewhere - are organised as follows. You sign up, but aren't told where it will take place until 24 hours before.
The reason - to provide as little time as possible for would-be terrorists to scope out the venue & plan an attack.
That's how we live.
This poor Jewish guy was trapped on a London bus for an hour while the driver refused to give him back his bank card that he had dropped. He’s weeping in frustration and sadness. My heart hurts for him. This is outrageous. @TfL
It's not so much that Denise Gough's claim that if Israel didn't exist every other conflict in the world be solved is so utterly mad - and shows how deeply Ireland is infected with Jew hate .
It's more that she is so clearly a fucking moron.
Dear @BBC,
On the 14th of October you uploaded an interview to your website and app with a woman named as Aida Abu Rob distraught about the fact that after 20 years in prison her brother is being deported not released in Ramallah.
Your video fails to give any information about who Murad is and what he did. Your journalist doesn't even give his full name let alone inform the public of this important context. I found out that he was responsible for a suicide bombing in 2006 that murdered four people.
The piece appears to offer an equivalence between the family of a terrorist with the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade who was tried in court and Israeli hostages kidnapped and by Hamas and other terror orgs due to no fault of their own.
You have failed to inform the public of the context, you have failed to offer balance and as a result have likely increased sympathy for a man who was responsible for the murders of four people. How do you think the families of his victims feel at his release?
Why didn't your staff think to ask who the brother was and then they could have provided the necessary context? Why didn't any of your other stuff who worked on that video and then promoted it think to raise any concerns?
This is a failure not just from the journalist on the ground but through the entirety of the team and their management who oversaw the processing and uploading of the video to a prominent place on your website and app.
At the very least you should be making it clear that Murad and other released prisoners have been convicted of some terrible crimes that warranted long sentences in prison. That would have given a more honest view of the situation.
What are you going to do to redress this?

It’s absurd to see the PM pleading with heartless protestors not to intimidate grieving Jews and overstretch police resources.
Time for the govt to accept my report recommendation to give police powers to say no to marches at moments like this

I wrote this in answer to a friend who was at the Manchester vigil yesterday (Friday).
All of you soaked to the skin in the pouring rain were faced with David Lammy. It wasn’t heckling. It was a communal outpouring of grief and rage and that rain was G-d’s tears.
I waited for Lammy to open by changing his prewritten script. To apologise that the govt, those with the power to effect change, hadn’t done enough. To say he heard you, and he understood, and he deserved your reaction.
I listened to his opening words and when it became clear he wasn’t going to do any of that I stopped watching.
What a load of stone hearted, inflexible mediocrities we have at our helm.
As Rosh Hashanah starts I want to thank the many many friends of The Jews who have stood by us at this incredibly difficult time. It’s so easy just to go with the flow; do what’s fashionable. Or ignore it entirely. But many of you have refused to do this. Thank you friends
Hitler dreamed of a Jew-free Europe. Jews had no defence, and he nearly succeeded - helped by many.
Now Hamas and others dream of a Jew-free Middle East. This time, Jews ,*do* have a defence. And somehow, that’s what outrages the world.
Here's a reminder of the collaborators..
When Daniel’s family managed to reach him on the morning of October 7th, they begged him to run. But he refused - he couldn’t leave without helping others.
In her final message to her mother, Karina wrote: "I love you. I hope we make it out of here. You are the most important person in the world to me, and I’m so sorry for everything".
Daniel was identified first, while Karina remained missing for six agonizing days. Their courage in the face of terror will never be forgotten - Karina Ella Davidov and Daniel Breslavsky, we will remember you forever.
I accuse the UN of encouraging Hamas, starting with Secretary General Antonio Guterres who gave succour to the terrorists by saying the October 7 massacre “did not happen in a vacuum”.
I accuse Unwra of perpetuating this war by calling the grandchildren of people who left Israel in 1948 “refugees” and encouraging their futile dreams of “right of return”.
I accuse the international political community of cowardice for failing to demand the immediate and unconditional release of all civilian hostages and for, instead, demanding that Israel feeds its enemy.
I accuse the Red Cross of failing to push hard enough to ensure the wellbeing of the hostages and for failing to immediately call out the grotesque hostage return spectacles.
I accuse “humanitarian” charities of parroting the lies of Hamas and not only refusing to fight for the return of child hostages Ariel and Kfir Bibas but becoming involved in trying to stop Israel getting the arms to fight for their children.
I accuse the political pygmy David Lammy of exploiting our pain after he hugged British hostage mother Mandy Damari when she made a public call for the hostages to get humanitarian aid – and then attacked Israel for not giving enough humanitarian aid to Gaza. And for continuing to fund Unwra despite knowing it housed terrorists.
I accuse Sir Keir Starmer of not admonishing his MPs who joined the hate marches.
I accuse the Metropolitan Police and Sadiq Khan of allowing the hate marches – filled with genocidal chants and blood libels – to terrorise Jewish people and parrot Hamas propaganda since October 8 2023.
I accuse the women’s charities of hypocrisy for failing to once speak up against the sexual violence perpetuated on October 7 or demanding that the female hostages are returned: in doing so they have set the feminist movement back decades.
I accuse the Arab states and countries including Ireland, Spain and South Africa of insincerity for insisting there was a “genocide” going on in Gaza but refusing to offer a home to any Palestinian refugees.
I accuse the BBC and Sky of parroting Hamas propaganda and never once saying that footage from Gaza was censored by the fascist terrorist organisation.
I could go on. I am so filled with rage. I do not know any of these people. I don’t hate them. But in refusing to acknowledge what Hamas is, they are agents of harm to our society. They need to be called out, over and over again.

Dear antizionists:
Jews do not want your ‘Chanukah wishes’ when you advocate for the destruction of our state. The state which sits on the same land the Maccabees fought to liberate over 2000 years ago.
Each night of Chanukah, we will light a candle for one of the British-connected hostages. Tonight we light a candle for Tsachi Idan. Tsachi's cousin @adammaanit lives in Brighton. When he's not working at the Board, he campaigns for the release of the hostages. #BeTheirLightUK
At this very moment, Hamas terrorists are still holding innocent Israelis hostage.
These people decided to tear down posters of those hostages and stuff them in bin liners.
This incident took place yesterday at 18:00 on Limes Avenue in Golders Green, north London.
