An Israeli journalist was derided and spat at, including by an Israeli soldier and a child, as he spent a day dressed as a priest in Jerusalem to investigate spiraling hate crimes against Christians in the city. https://t.co/inrMYGECqJ
Very interesting to hear Tom Graham of Metaphysic on World at One today re legalities of ITV new Deep Fake series. I’d have thought it fell foul of laws on theft, forgery and libel.
After tumultuous week, worth reflecting:
In the 37 years from 1979 to 2016 there were just 5 prime ministers.
In the 6 years since 2016 we’ve also had 5 PMs
Something pretty destabilising must have happened that year
I just took part in @FreefromTorture's action, demanding that Privilege Style airline refuses to remove refugees to Rwanda on behalf of our government.
We need to act quickly before another flight is scheduled. Will you join me?

A mere 5 sets fought out in SW19, unlike the 15 and rising in SW1. Boris could take a lesson or two from Wimbledon, where there’s some real professionalism being displayed. On current performance, I’d vote for Nadal..
If Kyrios has shoulder problems & is in such a foul temper all the time, you only have to look at his posture. His shoulders are so hunched & pulled round, how can they - or he - relax? Looks chronically uncomfortable.
@LabourAgainstAS@UKLabour@Keir_Starmer @Bambos_MP Israelis call the Occupied Territories "disputed" because they don't like the word "occupied". Israel controls the West Bank & fragments Palestinian life there. The WB has even disappeared from official Israeli maps. Illegitimate? Certainly. Illegal? Probably. Either way, wrong.
@jdforward@miraefox It gets even worse if you're gluten-sensitive (or worse). Kosher-for-Pesach matzo really is the bread of affliction.. Unfortunately, g/f matzoh, while sold as verified ok for pesach, isn't apparently kosher for the Seder. 🫤
Putin claims justification for his invasion as “de-Nazifying” Ukraine. Volodymyr Zelenskyy is Jewish: his father’s father and 3 brothers were all killed in the Holocaust. Seems Zelenskyy is in a better position to recognise a ruthless, power-hungry aggressor when he sees one.
2m people worldwide have now died from Covid-19. Almost 400,000 - one fifth of the total - were in the USA. The US government has spent a fortune on Homeland Security. Is it so incapable of protecting the health of its own citizens?

Have these authors read Feldman's article? I have. In DF's assessment of the confusion in the IHRA's "working definition" of antisemitism, and the consequences of HM government imposing it on universities, his thinking matters.
