@BladeoftheS When it comes to those cartoons of Zack Polanski, I'd say it's underused.

Has the overuse and abuse of the word antisemitism damaged its impact?

Lots of support for the fantastic Kathryn Penny in Farsley this afternoon 🌹

@Poppy_PTMY @owenjonesjourno On the other hand, a lot of right-wing jews have suddenly acquired a remarkable blind spot to antisemitism ... provided it's directed at Polanski.

Jones is very selective in his view of culture erasure. Very selective.

Rule is: leftists (eg, Owen) can endlessly claim that ethnic minority figures are racist, and don't represent the interests of their minority. But if anyone criticises Polanski - hated by most Jews - for his love in with medieval jew-hating islamists, that's outrageous. Got it?
English
Zack Polanski's Jewish identity is being erased because he is leftwing.
It is an utterly transparent - and deeply sinister - campaign from our media and political elites.
English
@DavidHirsh Disagreeing with Israeli government policy is not 'an antisemitic worldview'. Grow up.
English
Stop embracing an antisemitic worldview then.
Stop defending antisemitic candidates.
Stop creating a cosy environment for antisemitic members - many of whom were Corbyn-defenders, kicked out of Labour.

They've got nothing but constant abuse. We've got a plan to tackle the cost of living. A plan to make life more affordable for everyone. A plan to end Rip Off Britain. Vote Green! 💚

@owenjonesjourno Good article. Also worth showing it to the 'minoritised' gang who think Black people can't be racist to Jewish people.

@Tiger_helen2 @tuviahfr @GnasherJew @Lyndagee49 @TheGreenParty You're the one promoting antisemitism, so you can just fuck off.

@AlbaArnova @tuviahfr @GnasherJew @Lyndagee49 @TheGreenParty Go away you silly little troll. You’re as Jewish as a pork pie.

Rebecca Ellen Jones is a doctor and a @TheGreenParty candidate in the upcoming election. She was exposed by The Spectator, but we decided to take a deep dive into her social media—guess what we found:
‼️ Dr. Jones enthusiastically shares posts that mock and justify the 7 October massacre.
‼️ She supports terrorists.
‼️ She spreads fake medical conspiracy theories.
Do you really think she is a suitable doctor or political candidate? She’s an extremist. @LewishamHCP

@Tiger_helen2 @tuviahfr @GnasherJew @Lyndagee49 @TheGreenParty If you're that blind to antisemitism you must be some kind of self hating jew.

@owenjonesjourno Plus, the usual campaigners against antisemitism seem to have developed a blind spot when it comes to antisemitic attacks on Zack Polanski.
English
More Jews are marching on pro-Palestinian marches pro rata than any other community.
Stop calling opposition to genocide hatred.
Listen to the esteemed Rabbi Herschel Gluck, president of the Shomrin in North East London.

@tuviahfr @GnasherJew @Lyndagee49 @TheGreenParty Next, you'll be telling me Nigel Farages hissing noises aren't antisemitic.
English
@AlbaArnova @GnasherJew @Lyndagee49 @TheGreenParty I am and I don’t. There is nothing antisemitic about it.
English
@ReluctantProtes @GnasherJew @TheGreenParty Well I'm Jewish and you don't speak for me, whoever you are. I suggest you start worrying about Nigel Farage and his hissing noises.
English
@AlbaArnova @GnasherJew @TheGreenParty The only people who suggest the Times cartoon is antisemitic is Zac Polanski and those trying to deflect any discussion on the rampant Jew hate in the Green Party. The ONLY political party that deeply worries Jews now is The Green Party. End of conversation.
English
@tuviahfr @GnasherJew @Lyndagee49 @TheGreenParty If you were jewish, you would clearly recognise the cartoon as antisemitic.
English
@GnasherJew @Lyndagee49 @AlbaArnova @TheGreenParty I don’t see how the cartoon is antisemitic at all. Cry-bully behaviour from the Far Left.
English
@DavidHirsh If you want to fight antisemitism, I suggest you go after the Times, rather than slagging off other jews, just because they don't agree with you on Israel.
English
Polanski, "asaJew", parades his Jewishness to legitimise antisemitic politics.
He says marches are "peace marches", denying antisemitism associated with them.
He says he's a victim of antisemitism. True. But he's also using antisemitic libels, like "genocide", to get votes.

This @TrevorPTweets interview with @ZackPolanski needs to be shared and viewed as widely as possible. I've never before seen an interviewer give a proper focus to Polanski's dissembling and refuse to let him get away with his usual evasions. It's a masterclass in the importance of serious scrutiny, which is now so lacking in broadcast journalism (with the exception of @TrevorPTweets) youtu.be/7VkfYJgLljE?si…
English
@GnasherJew @TheGreenParty So, where are your posts about the Times, then?
English
@AlbaArnova @TheGreenParty You can care about both, they are not mutually exclusive. Unless you are using AS as a political football and trying to undermine antisemitism claims.
She’s a doctor and a candidate- that’s not “random”
English
@HadleyFreeman @thetimes How about a column about the antisemitic Polanski cartoon in the Times?
English
This week’s @thetimes column is about Zack Polanski’s desperate attempts to launder his party’s antisemitism
Antisemitism is all the Greens are recycling

@AlbaArnova @BladeoftheS Thatcher didnt deregulate BC. It was Labour in 2005

It's been nearly 9 years since Grenfell when 72 people were murdered in a building covered with illegal highly flammable cladding, which was illegal when it was fitted.
Perhaps the MET, who haven't tried to prosecute anyone, could get a Special Police Force for that.
English
@F737178869 @owenjonesjourno Owen Jones isn't antisemitic, but he will seem so to many jewish people because he focuses on the crimes of the Jewish state to the near exclusion of any other. Important to understand why he gets the accusations.
English
@AlbaArnova @owenjonesjourno I don’t know why, but why does it matter in this context? Maybe if Jewish people condemned Israel’s actions, it would help. And every time somebody criticizes Israel, they shouldn’t be called antisemitic.
English
This!
It is antisemitism to conflate Jewish people with Israel's crimes.
And those arguing that it is antisemitic to oppose Israel's crimes are guilty of that conflation!
Saul Staniforth@SaulStaniforth
Mahmood: "It is unacceptable.. that British Jews are being held to account for the action of a foreign govt" Absolutely Its also true that supporters of Israel conflate British Jews with Israel in order to smear people who oppose Israeli apartheid & genocide as antisemites
English
@F737178869 @owenjonesjourno I can't tell if you are missing the point on purpose. But just in case you aren't, Israel's crimes get vastly more attention than those other ones, and a lot of Jewish people don't understand why.
English
@AlbaArnova @owenjonesjourno So its okay that Israel i commenting genocide, because other countries also do it???
English
@F737178869 @owenjonesjourno Exactly. The genocides being committed in Myanmar, China, Sri Lanka, Sudan, DRC, etc. get hardly any coverage by comparison.
English
@AlbaArnova @owenjonesjourno Singled out??? They are commenting a genocide!
