@mehdirhasan This is weird. What’s also weird is the total absence of a physical expression of solidarity with the Jewish community by the anti racist left. Why should only Jews protest against antisemitism? Would send such a strong signal of solidarity if this could be done

[Ross Markham @RossMarkham1]

@PeterTatchell Hi Peter - genuine question here. Why aren’t the anti racist left mobilising in solidarity with the Jewish community this weekend? It’s genuinely baffling. Not even saying it has to be instead of the Palestine march but as well as or as a part of. Would be such a powerful signal

[Ross Markham @RossMarkham1]

@AyoCaesar Hey Ash - genuine good faith question: why don’t we see the anti-racist left mobilising in support of the Jewish community this weekend? Would go such a long way to have an anti-antisemitism rally that wasn’t organised by Jews for once. Genuine question.

@owenjonesjourno genuine good faith question here Owen. Why isn’t the anti-racist left mobilising a huge rally this weekend in solidarity with the Jewish community? That would be so powerful and do so much to show much needed solidarity with a hurting community.

@AllisonPearson Chilling. Keep up the good fight Allison and all the best

@giles_fraser Very moving and persuasive article Giles. Thank you for sharing your horrific experience and for bringing this issue to attention. How this is not a resigning matter is beyond me. B’hatzlacha and kol hakavod

@AyoCaesar @GeordieKakamora Funny how all your examples are Israel. Hezbollah are lobbing rockets at civilians for a year without any border dispute with Israel, then cry when Israel tries to stop it. The epitome of irrational.

@JuliaHB1 @antonioguterres @Israel Thank you @JuliaHB1

@dailynailuk @DillyHussain88 And how does it follow that by supporting “that form of Zionism” I’d have to support annexing etc?

[Ross Markham @RossMarkham1]

@dailynailuk @DillyHussain88 Zionism as I’ve described is about 150 years old. The recent legislation, which many Zionist Israelis would disagree with, is less than 5 years old. 99% of Zionists care only that Jews are allowed to be safe and secure, nothing else.

@OwenJones84 You’re honestly such a simpleton

[Ross Markham @RossMarkham1]

@EricClapton I’ll just leave this here…

[Ross Markham @RossMarkham1]

@OwenJones84 Hamas is funded by the west via the considerable amount of aid we give. Further, Hamas is only less deadly because Israel builds bomb shelters and other defensive infrastructure to protect its citizens rather than hiding amongst them. Hamas’ very reason for being is genocide.

@RealKidPoker @RadioAmanda An absolute legend and a true mensch. Your support means a lot to me. Wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery 🇮🇱

[Ross Markham @RossMarkham1]

@OwenJones84 Owen, so called “Israel apologists” who include most right-thinking and fair-minded British Jews know neither of these things. Stop telling us what you presume we know or think, or caricaturing our position. Its such tribal nonsense designed to whip up your base.

[Ross Markham @RossMarkham1]

@robdelaney Rob, if they did flea from Poland, I am sure you are smart enough to know what it was they were fleeing from? Come on mate, you’re better than that.

[Ross Markham @RossMarkham1]

@OwenJones84 This is why you’re such a divisive and destructive figure in public discourse, and why you’re not taken seriously by the vast majority of British people. We could be persuaded to your way of thinking, but you just turn everyone off by being such a loutish simpleton.

[Ross Markham @RossMarkham1]

@OwenJones84 You’re as morally sophisticated as a flannel. You spend all your time point scoring and right side of history-ing. No one who you would describe as sympathetic to Israel are cheerleaders for suffering. It’s horrendous and tragic and beyond abysmal.

[Ross Markham @RossMarkham1]

@OwenJones84 That’s the real quiz
