People's reaction to things you say and do will often say a lot more about them than it ever could about you

This is what happens when people promote the 'genocide' lie and spread hate towards Jews. Tragic to see antisemitism of Nazis and of yore rearing its ugly head again BBC News - Four ambulances set on fire in London in suspected antisemitic hate crime bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

To understand how the pro-Palestinian movement took over Campuses read @ALionessWrites Melissa Brodsky's excellent article for JNS jns.org/opinion/campus…

@GrahamAllen @orenbarsky Joe Kent is clearly driven by antisemitism. It's not surprising that America's two biggest Nazis were so keen to have him on their shows.

Joe Kent resigned. Then went on the Tucker Carlson show. Then went and spoke at a “Catholic” event with Candace Owens. Now he is on Megyn Kelly’s show….. TOTALLY organic and not planned at all🤷🏼‍♂️

@realzoestrimpel @wallaceme @johnarmstrong5 @Thanet_DC It is very clearly antisemitic and illegal - @kent_police should respond

@wallaceme @johnarmstrong5 @Thanet_DC This is madness and I suspect not 100pc legal

In Margate. My cheeks are red. I am shaking. I popped into an exhibition that turned out to be the insane fever dream of an artist called Matthew Collins: ‘Drawings Against Genocide.’ The exhibition is described as ‘drawings… raising consciousness about hell…. Israel is the pure encapsulation of it. Zionism is this terror state’s ruling ideology.’ Shocked by the use of Nazi imagery - the room is full of the Star of David pasted around figures meant to be Israelis and the Jewish ‘lobby’ spewing blood, to say nothing of blonde yummy mummies wearing ‘globalise the intifada’ shirts, I spoke to the artist to share my reaction as a Jewish person. He was instantly aggressive. As soon as I started to say I was shocked and threatened by what I was seeing because it was Nazi imagery, the artist started yelling at me that I didn’t mean anything I was saying. Anytime I tried to speak (calmly) he said: ‘you don’t mean any of what you said, you’re just repeating ‘hasbarah talking points’ because ‘you’re defending a genocide’. On and on he yelled, in my face. I said: ‘if I was a Black person…’ but couldn’t finish the sentence because: ‘you’re not are you?’ On the Nazi ideology point he said: ‘yeah. Why do you think it’s there. Israel are the Nazis’. His breath was disgusting. The crowd began booing and closing in around me, making to shoe me out. I said: ‘fine, get the Jew out’ and he yelled more across the room at me, ‘repeatedly jeering ‘call the police, go ahead, call the police’. I said I would, and the community security trust, which features as a devil in his exhibition. This was met with even more jeering. ‘Yeah, call the CST’ was the last I heard before leaving. Someone snapped pictures of me while I was being shouted at. Short video shows the artist. The longer video, of our final almost surreally disgusting exchange, didn’t record.

This is disgusting behaviour by a so-called artist, his hateful juvenile scrawls are blatantly racist and this is what Nazis are like. @kent_police should close this Margate exhibition of hate down immediately.

@Eve_Barlow @realzoestrimpel Your neighbour's cat probably isn't a Nazi

My neighbor’s cat makes better art

Not to brag but my article got picked up by @JNS_org Ok fine, I’m bragging. It’s an important article and needs to be read broadly. Sorry about the crazy long URL! jns.org/opinion/campus…

Side query, but should or should not the @BBC use the American spelling of 'harbour' here?

I once compared Trump's Mexican border wall to the Berlin Wall when speaking to a couple of senior German diplomats, and the look on their faces meant I never did THAT again! 😂 BBC News - Trump makes Pearl Harbor remark in meeting with Japan's PM bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

📌A video of President Clinton saying, “I killed myself trying to give the Palestinians a deal; all of Gaza and 97% of the West Bank. They turned it down. They never wanted peace,” is making the rounds again. Mehdi Hasan responded by telling people to “Google Taba,” referring to the Taba Summit held January 21–27, 2001, just after Clinton left office. The implication is clear: that at Taba, Arafat either accepted a deal or was on the verge of doing so but ran out of time. That narrative is false, and it is disproven by Arafat himself 18 months later. Arafat never said yes at Taba. He didn’t attend, didn’t accept any framework, and didn’t move on core demands like a literal “right of return.” We know this was a central reason he rejected Camp David and the Clinton Parameters, and the claim that the Palestinians were prepared to accept a symbolic or limited return is simply not true (this is clear from the Palestinian reply to the Clinton Parameters). Arafat did not compromise on this point, and he did not accept any deal. Yes, the negotiators, the ones with no power to actually approve any deal, to actually settle the core issues (e.g. refugees) said they were close when the summit ended, but there was thus no deal, no near-deal, and no missed deal due to merely to time. And we know this with certainty because 18 months later, Arafat suddenly claimed he would accept Taba. The Guardian, hardly a pro-Israel outlet, ran the headline: “Arafat approves Taba plan too late,” and reported that Arafat acknowledged the prior offers were not good enough and that he had not accepted any deal at the time. Only afterward did he say he would accept them. If Arafat had truly been ready at Taba, he could have said yes when it actually mattered: under the Clinton Parameters. He had weeks to do so, even after skipping the early January 2001 White House meeting where he was supposed to meet Clinton to accept the deal, despite committing to attend and say yes. Prince Bandar recounts in detail how Arafat left town without giving any answer. This is no longer disputed among the key people involved. Bill Clinton, Dennis Ross, Martin Indyk, Prince Bandar, and even Saeb Erekat all acknowledge the same core fact: Ehud Barak accepted the Clinton Parameters. Arafat did not. Subsequent disclosures have only reinforced this. The Bandar interview, the release of Israel’s formal acceptance, the Palestinian response document, and Clinton’s repeated confirmations all point in the same direction. There was a path to full Palestinian statehood. It was rejected. And the reason this keeps getting rewritten by people like Mehdi Hasan is obvious. This was the pivotal moment. A sovereign Palestinian state was on the table. The conflict could have ended, no more “occupation.” The entire trajectory of the conflict could have been different. And when given another opportunity years later, Mahmoud Abbas did the same with Olmert’s offer, later admitting he walked away.

I just got off the phone with my family in the West Bank to check on them following the killing of four Palestinian women by an Iranian missile that struck the town of Bayt Awa. The sounds of explosions were extremely loud in the background following another round of Iranian missile launches toward Israel. Pray for the safety of Palestinian and Israeli civilians. The situation is rapidly escalating as Iran intensifies its missile attacks, including the use of cluster munitions.

Starmer will win the next election. Not because he’s loved. Not because he’s a visionary. Not because he’s Labour. But because he is, in the end, a calm head, whose two main challengers are patently unserious ideologues, who show themselves daily to be unsuitable for the role.

"Expressions of disgust are often evidence of envy." Alana Newhouse's essay has its flaws, but ultimately it's a brilliant and passionate attempt to describe why the world has gone mad over Zionism tabletmag.com/feature/zionis…

Many Arab states are now more opposed to radical Islam than many Western university campuses. Let that sink in.

"a crazed egomaniac who was often at the center of national security leaks, while rarely producing any actual work.” Seemingly antisemitic and ill-informed, there's an unsurprising lack of sympathy for former Director of counterterrorism, Joe Kent thefp.com/p/joe-kent-res…
