@owenjonesjourno The lack of self-reflection point is probably, and I don’t speak for Heidi, that through your loathing of what has happened in Gaza, a view you’re entitled to (though not the label you apply to it), your comments, posts & general attitude FUEL the antisemitism you claim to loathe
@BanGaoRen You can’t complain just because you don’t like the line of questioning. Leaders of political parties need to be held to account, especially those who think they are the messiah like he seems to
@stephenpollard@TrevorPTweets@ZackPolanski Apparently Polanski is only interested in dialogue that brings people together. Yet his party is riddled with individuals and rancid views that only seek to divide
@SuspectOneXIII@PolitlcsUK That’s how you choose to read it. I’m not anti-Israel. I can be Zionist, support Israel’s right to exist & defend itself from those who seek to destroy it, but still be critical of the Israeli government. Sadly, too many see only one perspective and somehow blame it on all Jews
@Loster@PolitlcsUK Because he’s not just talking about a lone man with a history of mental illness and yesterday’s attack. He listed the attacks on Jews over the past 12 months including the murder of 2 people not by someone with a history of mental illness. There’s your obvious answer
@jamiecam43@ajcdeane No one gives a shit what you think thousands of miles from where this is taking place. Your pinned post shows who you are and what you think, so give it a rest, you’re not fooling anyone
Today, a man ran through Golders Green, a Jewish neighborhood in London, stabbing Jews outside a synagogue in broad daylight.
The UK PM called it "utterly appalling."
Here's what's actually appalling:
For two years, Western streets have hosted marches calling for the elimination of Israel. Universities have celebrated it. Politicians have legitimized it. The media has normalized it.
You don't get to spend two years mainstreaming the idea that Jews and their state have no right to exist and then act shocked when someone takes the message literally.
Words have consequences. "From the river to the sea" isn't poetry. "Globalize the intifada" isn't a metaphor.
When you spend years telling the world that Jewish presence in the Middle East or in Golders Green is a problem to be solved, don't be surprised when someone shows up with a knife to solve it.
The ideology and the blade are the same weapon. One just has a longer handle.
