On this day, we remember the 19 people killed in a suicide vehicle bombing outside El-Ghriba Synagogue in Djerba, Tunisia, 2002.​ ​ A Tunisian al-Qaeda (AQ) operative drove a truck with liquid propane into the synagogue’s outer wall. ​The explosion injured 30 victims and killed 19, including 16 German and French tourists. ​ El-Ghriba Synagogue is one of the oldest synagogues in Africa and ​the site of an annual pilgrimage ​that attracts thousands of visitors each year. ​An AQ spokesman claimed responsibility two months later. ​The attack was AQ’s first external international attack following 9/11. ​ ​CST has an extensive security operation in place to secure Jewish communal buildings.

I’m a DJ who wears a Star of David and gets abuse. Kanye wore a swastika and got Wireless jewishnews.co.uk/im-a-dj-who-we…

Now that Kanye has been banned from the UK, British Jews can get back to reality… Jews murdered in Manchester, an ISIS-inspired mass-casualty terror plot, Iranians spying on us, an arson attack & record levels of antisemitism. Anyone asking why he was banned should start here.

Kanye West's recent history of vile antisemitism was fully known to the festival organisers when they invited him. Now with the entirely predictable backlash they are facing, the British Jewish community is being asked to help save their festival. We are not going to meet Kanye West for that purpose.

@WirelessFest created this mess by booking Kanye, but Jews end up paying the price in the inevitable antisemitic backlash from his fans. It’s disgraceful. A community that had nothing to do with this decision ends up facing the consequences of it.

CST welcomes the news of three police arrests this morning for the shocking arson attack on four Hatzola ambulances in Golders Green. Read more - news.met.police.uk/news/further-a…

'Happy Holiday' posts aren’t political statements. Yet every year, celebrations like Pesach, Rosh Hashanah and Chanukah are still met with antisemitic comments. This shouldn’t be normal.

Let's call this the hypothetical Jew argument. “If Jews born in Brooklyn have a right to a state in Palestine, then Palestinians born in Jerusalem have a right to a state in Palestine. Anyone who doesn’t agree with that principle I think is suspect.” So said Hitchens and who in their right mind would disagree with that formulation? The problem with it is that it's built on the back of a hypothetical Jew not a real one. Of course when Zionism came about the Jews who went for it weren't living in Brooklyn they were living in Russia and they grew up in the midst of massacres which we don't talk about now because the scale of the Holocaust cast such a shadow that everyone forgot about the lived experience of the real Jews of Russia in the world before the Nazis. The real Jew of Russia didn't want to create a state for himself he wanted to move West and did. In large numbers the Jews of Russia became the Jews of Brooklyn and Ohio and wherever they could go. Until the doors of America and elsewhere slammed shut. Then the real Jews of Russia were trapped in a Russian civil war in which 250,000-600,000 real, actual Jews were murdered. We don't quite know how many because the murderers didn't care to count. It was at this point that the real Jews of Russia began thinking seriously that perhaps waiting for death at the hands of their fellow citizens wasn't a great way to live and that perhaps they might be able to take the future into their own hands in a country where hating Jews would be impossible because the majority were Jews themselves. The real Jews, some of them, made their way to Palestine and set about creating a new world. They were mad but no more so than anyone else. And then the Russian Jews in Palestine became the new Jews of Israel and provided their children a life of opportunities rather than a long wait for a slow death as was the fate of the real Jews in Russia they left behind. And would you know that real Jews of other countries in the Middle East came to the same conclusion that perhaps a life of dignity and promise had more to offer than a life of misery and suffering inflicted upon them by their fellow citizens. and they came to Israel and they thrived and the country thrived and survived. But the hypothetical Jew still looms large in Western thinking. He is the aggressor against a hypothetical Palestinian. The hypothetical Jew is wittering on about the Holocaust and telling hypothetical Jews to move to Israel. Meanwhile the real Jews of Israel are sitting in their bomb shelters worrying about other real Jews as they fight against the enemies who are committed to their destruction. I prefer the real Jews to the hypothetical ones who live only in the minds of those sitting comfortable in their own superiority creating straw men arguments so that they can posit what is moral and what is not while others suffer.

The missing bit here is why is he confronting Matt Lucas on Palestine. To my knowledge, Matt Lucas has never spoken a word on the subject in defence of Israel or against Palestine/Palestinians. He's just a Jew. Appalling from @PoliticsJOE_UK

@PoliticsJOE_UK Are you serious? He abused and harassed a Jewish man for no other reason than he was Jewish. The idea @PoliticsJOE_UK would sanitise an abhorrent racist action with that headline if the fella had done this with a different minority community is laughable. You are in the gutter.

I'm 100% sure if someone went up to a Muslim celeb on the tube, filmed him while demanding he condemn Hamas, uploaded it on social media & then rightly lost his job because of it, Politics JOE wouldn't go near them. So you have to wonder exactly why they decided to do that here.

SCN is aware of a security incident at a synagogue in West Bloomfield. SCN is working in coordination with law enforcement and community partners. We continue to monitor the situation and will provide verified updates as available. Official Statement from The Jewish Federation of Detroit: "We are aware of an active security incident at Temple Israel. Law enforcement are responding. Our Jewish agencies are currently in precautionary lockdown We ask community members to stay away from the area at this time."

This failure by the Crown Prosecution Service means that alleged support for a terrorist organisation, which is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Jews, by an artist with a large following, will not be tried. Kneecap's Mo Chara has not been convicted, nor has he been acquitted, and in the process, justice has been denied.

I was not aware that the @cfmmuk - set up by the MCB - had relied on work by the antisemitic extremist David Miller to attack me and CST. Miller's record of anti-Jewish incitement is now so well-known that nobody should be relying on his word for anything.
