[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

6 August 1934 | Norwegian Jewish girl, Berit Leventhal, was born in Oslo.

She arrived at #Auschwitz on 1 December 1942 in a transport of 532 Jews. She was murdered in a gas chamber after the arrival selection.

One example of a post I have just reported for incitement of violence. 73.6k followers. The X platform appears to a lack of will and capacity with no visible proactive approach to the widespread racist incitement on this platform among groups of extreme users socialising violence

Musk is perhaps the best example of one of the most important parts of our contemporary politics: the online radicalisation of particular types of elites.

[Ben Page @Benpagelondon]

So - do you have to be white to be British? We have asked in the past.... answer is NO. Also clear that overt racists are a very small part of British society

[Sam Freedman @Samfr]

Always said that the public were part of the liberal elite.

Andrea Jenkyns has just compared putting paint on a statue to burning hotels with asylum seekers. My goodness. #Newsnight

Fiddler On The Roof isn’t just a Jewish musical: it’s the family story of most Jewish families in this country. Holding an anti-Israel protest there is pure antisemitism.

[Jon Stone @joncstone]

the thing I hear again and again talking to people at local authorities about why everything takes so long in this country is 'officer capacity'. there often just aren't enough people left to do things! https://t.co/dvwQTCCC89

The question is why are mainstream journalists simply repeating a far right fallacy verbatim as their questions? When it’s provably false? ethnic minorities are searched much more harshly and events policed more vigourously than anything I’ve seen in recent riots

[Taj Ali @Taj_Ali1]

If you imitate the racist thugs you harm your own community. If there is no far-right presence, if there is safety in numbers, go home. Keep your kids in check. We are better than this. This is what they want. Stop giving them ammo.

[Jonathan Lis @jonlis1]

Once again, I am begging to know what right-wing commentators like G**dwin mean when they talk about ‘controlling the borders’ in relation to these riots. Is the contention that the murderer’s parents should have been genetically profiled or that white people’s kids don’t murder?

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

Violence and rioting, attacking completely unrelated vehicles and buildings, is indefensible whoever is doing it, and the “you started it” defence is completely unacceptable.

The exact same [wrong and unacceptable] defence could be made of the thugs burning libraries.

[Guardian Business @BusinessDesk]

Sewage discharge fines are a damning indictment of the water regulators https://t.co/7mIMjXCVsj

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

“You’re not going to be able to control young men which are upset and angry … this is a natural reaction”.

Astonishing to hear a sitting MP defend violent unrest like this.

Plays right into the hands of the far right, and backs up the claim of inconsistent treatment.

[Roux the rescue 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦 @AlbaGuBrath1966]

They say integration has failed, so send them back.

Yet 👇 was just a few weeks ago…ethnic south Asians celebrating an English ⚽️victory

They don’t care if minorities integrate or not, they just don’t like any one who’s not white

They’re racists

[Afrasiab Anwar MBE 💙 @afrasiab_anwar]

The cemetery this morning. Amazing job done by the community last night to clean up. In past 2 hrs people from all backgrounds have been to the Muslim section laying flowers, praying and showing solidarity. This is Burnley, we will not allow those who look to sow hatred divide us

[Sunder Katwala @sundersays]

I would like councils, MPs, government, the honours system, the Palace and others to be trying to track & recognise the locak and often spontaneous civic actors who are volunteering to repair the damage

[Sunder Katwala @sundersays]

This is poor. The independent MP has a very fatalistic approach of both explaining/condoning disorder as "natural" & "inevitable" even after @AasmahMir offers him a common sense distinction that solidarity can't involve intimidation & violence
