Antisemitism for beginners:
If you want to ensure that Jewish people are not safe anywhere in the world, delegitimise and demonise their one true place of safety, Israel.
Keir Starmer did what was legally required by the EHRC. Saying he had a āzero-tolerance policyā is overreach imo.
Many problematic MPs stayed, until they chose to jump. Some are still there. His government failed to adequately challenge societal antisemitism.
This is the millionaire funder of Palestine Action who now lives in the Republic of Ireland. Hamas is a banned group in the EU. He needs arresting. @gardainfo
Anything about Female Genital Mutilation? @ZackPolanski@TheGreenParty it would be helpful to know your thoughts on this and āHonour killingsā? Surely part of any discussions on health?
Excellent from @LordIanAustin on yet ANOTHER debate on the evils of Israel:
As he says: āOver the last few years, Parliament has discussed Israel more than any other issue, not just any international issue, more than any domestic issue: more than the economy, unemployment, crime, the NHS.
āThe public out there look at Parliament and think this is utterly mad, utterly, utterly mad.ā
Lord Ian blames Parliament for helping fuel antisemitism adding:
āDoes Parliament not understand that singling out the world's only Jewish state, holding its standards not applied to anywhere else, falsely accusing Israel of committing these terrible crimes? āThis is bound to drive hostility towards people who are identified with Israel, which is the vast majority of the Jewish community, and I have to say this is why I believe Parliament is playing a large role in driving the explosion of anti-Semitism that we've seen on the streets of Britain.ā
Jeremy Corbyn is outside Downing Street protesting Israel bombing Iran. No mention of the regime having first fired missiles at Israeli cities. Oh and heās wearing a āred ribbonā pin to free ALL Palestinian terrorists convicted of the brutal murders of civilians. Grim.
Shocked to see that Hamas-linked Flotilla leader Saif Abu Keshek was in Parliament yesterday. Thereās MPs from @TheGreenParty attending. Extremists sanctioned by the US Treasury should NOT be polluting the heart of our democracy. Disgusting.
Brighton & Hove Green Party just promoted an āantifascistā event that explicitly states Zionists arenāt welcome. Are they officially a party that discriminates against the vast majority of Jews now? @BHGreens@sianberry
Iranās attack on Israel shows Hezbollah is hurting and in serious trouble.
But that exposes a deeper problem.
Why are @BBCNews and @SkyNews journalists embedded in Sth Lebanon only telling us stories that make Hezbollah look strong?
When did they become Hezbollah PR agents?
I just watched Hasan Piker interviewed on @LBC and you can see why he was banned from the UK. Here he claims that Hamas didnāt intend to murder Jews on October 7. He even excuses the massacre as merely making the āoccupation as costly as possibleā. Despicable man.
Brighton pro-Pals had a very bad reaction to one of their own getting arrested for intifada chants. They called me ānot humanā, āevilā and one of their children said āoff with her headā. Absolutely and worryingly unhinged.
Is this former RMT trade union leader Steve Hedley calling a Jewish man a ābaby-murdererā today? His friend has to pull him away as he seems about to attack. This is SHOCKING.

I think what these haters donāt understand is the more they bully and boycott Israel, the more people will vote for them.
Because the people of Europe see the bullying and they donāt like it.
If these āfansā want Eurovision to be less political (thereās always been politics in it) then they should stop trying to use it to make a political point.
