@TimesRadio what has happened to last weeks outrage at antisemitism. Today the news is full of Israel killing paramedics ( unsubstantiated) and why chanting intifada at an antisemitic March should be allowed. As we in the Jewish community knew it’s all words.

@virginmedia I need to renew my contract but want to change my package to get a lower cost

@VirginMedia @VirginMedia_TV I am trying to use live chat on the website but the link doesn’t work. Any suggestions?

Tell me - what links Epstein to Israel? The fact that his name sounds Jewish? You must stop allowing blatant antisemitism in your show

[Simon Hayes 🎗️ @simonthevet]

@TomSwarbrick1 @LBC I appreciate you trying to correct your caller on facts regarding apartheid in Israel but by allowing him to speak unchallenged saying Israel made Trump attack Iran by holding him to ransom with the Epstein files is clearly pushing antisemitic tropes.

I feel sick.

At University College of London @UCL they are teaching students that Jews use the Blood of non-Jews for religious rituals.

Nazi level lies and blood libels against Jews at a prestigious British University.

She used to work for UNRWA.

@LennyHenry thank you for a wonderful performance in Every Brilliant Thing. Really important to hear these messages. As a vet I have to say that with euthanasing peoples beloved pets is something that takes a toll over many years. Thank you again

The recognition of a Palestinian state with no conditions on Hamas all fuel the hatred. They and you should hang your head in shame. To think this murderous attack was nothing to do with this is naive at best. Anti Israel Jew hatred is just Jew hatred. Please apologise on Unholy

[Simon Hayes 🎗️ @simonthevet]

@Freedland @2jewsonthenews you need to be called out by a grieving Jewish community. Words matter you should know that. This government is complicit in Jew hatred in the UK. Allowing marches to spout antisemitic bile, not holding the BBC to account, and

#TimesRadio @patmcfaddenmp said that Rachel Reeves is doing an excellent job. In what world? In any business she would have been sacked. More Labour lies and spin. When will politicians just tell the truth

[Simon Hayes 🎗️ @simonthevet]

@GMB please take @Kevin_Maguire off our tv screens in the morning. He is an obnoxious apologist for all that is wrong with the left and clearly antisemitic. Put him up against anyone and he just talks louder.

@GabrielleAplin such a great performance at BST last night. Thank you. Went for @zachbryanL but such a treat to see Little Miss Aplin! Hope your dog was okay

Too many politicians treat the world like a student union. Abstract, simplistic and completely disconnected from reality. The world is not a debating club. It is a dangerous place where power matters, where democracy is fragile and where enemies don’t play by the rules.

That’s why we need to be clear: supporting Israel is not just right — it is necessary for our own national security. Israelis are at the front line in the fight for the West and for our shared values.

First, Iran is a direct threat to the UK and has been for years. Our security services have stopped multiple Iranian terrorist plots and assassination attempts on UK soil. Its ballistic missiles can reach Europe. We should support any ally that seeks to damage Iran’s nuclear programme and eliminate the threat posed by the terror-exporting Revolutionary Guards.

Anti-British sentiment is almost as central to the ayatollahs’ deranged ideology as their obsessive hatred of Israel and the United States. They use the term “Little Satan” interchangeably to refer to both the UK and Israel.
Iran uses influence through mosques, schools and fake charities to radicalise and corrupt our own population: taking advantage of our democracy to advance its theocracy.

Second, Iran and Israel are not moral equivalents. Israel is a vibrant democracy that protects women and minorities and encourages them to vote, speak and dissent. In Iran women are brutalised by a theocratic dictatorship. Their ability to travel and work is restricted. They are beaten for showing their hair. Tortured for asking questions. Executed for demanding freedom.

Anyone who can’t see the difference between a liberal democracy and a terrorist regime needs to spend less time on social media and more time understanding reality.

When Iran launched its latest barrage of missiles, it didn’t target military installations. It targeted city centres. High rise housing. Hospitals. Civilians. This is a war crime, plain and simple. No excuses. No spin. And still, we have western politicians giving copy-and-paste statements as if this were a playground spat between equal players in a “cycle of violence”.

Israel’s response, in contrast, is surgical. It decapitated Iran’s offensive capabilities with extraordinary precision and minimal civilian casualties. Images of holes made by guided bombs in the sides of flats occupied by specific regime operatives are testament to Israel’s values. When Iran attacks, millions of Israelis hide in bomb shelters. When Israel attacks, Iranian dissidents record the impact against regime targets and cheer.

Military strategists will be studying this campaign for decades as a model for how to defend your people without losing your moral compass and in compliance with international law.

Israel has a right to defend itself. Iran has been openly committed to the destruction of Israel for decades. Through its proxy, Hamas, the regime orchestrated the murder of 1,200 people on October 7 and has said it would do it again. Any democracy facing such an existential threat from a genocidal regime would and must act to defend itself.

Most Arab nations understand this; some say it openly. Many ordinary Iranians bitterly oppose their regime which for 46 years has been robbing them of their future. They know that Israel is not the problem. They condemn violence, yes, but they have no time for the delusions of the western left. They’ve had enough of people in Islington pretending to speak for Gaza while doing nothing for peace.

But of course, the usual crowd in Britain and beyond rushed to condemn Israel. They ignore the facts. Because it’s not really about Israel — it’s about their own moral posturing.

While Israel takes on the arrayed enemies of the West, fighting terrorism on multiple fronts, and facing Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and Iran at once, their so-called allies condemn them.

Deliberate targeting of the Soroka hospital in Southern Israel by Iranian missile. Major damage and casualties. Where are the cries for #WarCrimes. Where are the marches on the street? Why no reports all over our media ?#IsraeliranWar #DoubleStandards

A wonderful evening listening to the inspirational @chrishoy in conversation. Humble, funny, motivational. A true Great Briton. Thank you

@SkyUK I still cannot watch tv. I have tried rebooting 6 times. I have missed the fa cup final. Will you be compensating me?

@GBNEWS @Coytey dogs are carnivores. They need high quality protein in their diet. You’re right they eat anything but the most important thing is a balanced diet that supplies all their nutritional needs. A vegan diet could work but would need supplementing to ensure good health

Can anyone tell me why the international community accepts armed, masked, uniformed terrorists to be involved in the release of these poor hostages. And why do aid trucks require men with guns on top of them? The lies will not stop. The west has been tricked. #BringThemHomeNow

[Simon Hayes 🎗️ @simonthevet]

@TimesRadio please stop revering to kidnapped Israelis as prisoners. There is no equivalence to convicted murderers. They are hostages. #BringThemHomeNow
