My name is Margarita "Rita" Gusak, and I was a 21-year-old Jew-ish woman killed by Hamas on October 7th.
I was an painter, model, & aspiring medical student.
I came to Israel fleeing Russia. But where I sought safety: Hamas found me and took my life.
Will you remember me?
In the last few months, my life has changed beyond all compare. I made a decision to support my Jewish friends and without hesitation. I feel anxious almost everywhere I go but I do not regret my decision. I have seen friends that I have helped and supported turn on me without a conversation. It hurts because I know that not only do they know Jewish people but they have benefited hugely from the association with Jews. British Jews have always made London better from Philip Sallon's crazy nightclubs to the brick lane Bagel shop.
More importantly and most shocking is that many of these anti Isreal people have zero political instincts. They only care because it has become fashionable to care. I would go as far to say that they are the biggest and most hideous cowardly fakes to walk this earth. Why are people who support their Jewish friends being called to account while these fakes, like Ed Sheeran, Jade and countless others get to pretend to care about a situation they could not comprehend even if they really tried. I support anyone calling for peace. That is what we should all be doing. How can Isreal be an apartheid state when Arabs and Christians live there peacefully and are part of the political system? As for Ed Miliband, clearly we know why he never because Prime Minister and Andy Burnham won't be getting my vote. In life there are people who see what's going on and others who just blindly follow the trends. Remember. Fashions change.
Yes. I do mean you!

Oh don’t worry about @Pink She will still be unbelievably talented, ridiculously successful and completely iconic. Yet now there is the bonus of everyone knowing she is also of deep moral clarity, her backbone is firm and strong and her balls are bigger than @edsheeran ‘s
BRAVO PINK 💝

Macklemore doesn’t care about Palestinians.
He just hates Jews.
Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis is one of the bravest Jewish leaders of our age. It takes guts to stick your neck out and attack the government of the day as a spiritual leader, when it's much easier to play "apples and honey". This is leadership. Thank you, Rabbi.
This is truly a dark day for British Jews.
Today our Government has chosen to ignore the deep concerns expressed by so many of us.
The measures announced amount to little more than political flag bearing for mendacious anti-Israel rhetoric and those who harbour a dangerous obsession with the Jewish State. These measures will succeed only in bolstering the very extremism they seek to target.
On the eve of Rosh Hashanah and at a time when our community is more vulnerable than ever to the wave of extremism that has been building over recent years, these sanctions do nothing to advance the cause of peace. Nor do they make anyone safer – quite the contrary.
Gesture politics of this kind feeds into an increasingly hostile discourse about Israel, and the cumulative effect of such punitive policies is to further embolden those, at home and abroad, who use hatred as a weapon against Jews.
You suck you have always sucked
you suck at whatever music you do it’s not RAPPING & you’re a long time anti Jewish scmbag with a dikc head scarf on & ridiculous mustache
The fact that years of antisemitic behavior wasn’t enough for Ed Sheeran not to choose Macklemore as his opening act tells you everything you need to know about Ed Sheeran.
Ed Sheeran knew exactly who he was bringing out on his Loop Tour. He chose to give a platform to someone who has blackfaced the Jewish community. Ed Sheeran, you are complicit in normalizing and spreading hate against Jews. @edsheeran
