@adam_louis52328 Once again I have no interest in engaging with you while you leave defamatory posts of me up. Apologise and delete or go away

@__SylVan__ @DanNeidle That’s exactly my point too. I’m presuming good faith. I’m presuming he is a tax nerd that got sucked into a national controversy and maybe just wrote a thread a bit wonky leading to misunderstandings. He is making it very difficult though

@Alonso_GD @DanNeidle For context, re tax evasion, it very much read like that is what you were saying. If that wasnt your intention, you could just explain, instead of calling me a liar.

Me: “Hey Dan look, I think your original thread did a bad job at disclosing you didnt really think @ZackPolanski had done something dishonest and maybe you should do some reflection about your role, how to avoid this in the future and how to mitigate the damage”. Dan:

@DanNeidle @__SylVan__ Look, I think the issue is your original thread intervened in a discourse with a specific effect (“he is not paying tax he should have paid and this is huge”). This is inevitable from your language in the thread. If you believed otherwise you should have disclosed it better

@DanNeidle @__SylVan__ You intervened in a hot button issue of national news (“who is Zack Polanski?”) forcefully. And you did it carelessly. And that careless action caused harm, lit a national scandal. So yeah, maybe admit you shouldve treaded more carefully to try to mitigate the harm

@DanNeidle @__SylVan__ Some level of self-reflection on your part would be amazing. Like “I should have made it clearer, in the thread itself, that this was an honest mistake, not a dishonest thing and not a big deal”. Then cool, no problem. But you are just ignoring this problem altogether

@DanNeidle You said 1) there was a "big problem" and 2) that "it was not intentional or dishonest". One claim was very public. The other was tucked away. You have alternated between them as time goes by. So I am asking for clarification. Bc it sounds like you should offer them not me

@Alonso_GD Please do not misrepresent things that I have said. If you can’t understand this thread or the report then perhaps don’t post about it.

@DanNeidle Like I said, you should have disclosed this better. In your original thread (the one 99% of people will read, not the accompanying website) you called it a "very big problem". The disclaimer "there is no evidence this was intentional or dishonest" was not in any of the tweets

@Alonso_GD OMG you’re an actual academic and you felt it was okay to either misrepresent our report, or comment without reading it. Unbelievable.

@DanNeidle So, you do believe he did something dishonest? I am confused as to what you believe. I am happy to ammend the post in any way you feel best represents your views... but I am now not at all clear on what your views are...

@Alonso_GD at this point you're either not paying attention or acting in bad faith. Our original report was crystal clear this wasn't evasion: But did he do something wrong? Yes, he lived somewhere for four years and didn't register for council tax. Most people would say that was wrong.

@EkonoMau5 Dozens of people beat you up supported by the police and army when you walk your dog in Peru?

@Alonso_GD Not defending pogrom but feel as outraged when I can’t walk my dog or eat certain foods in some neighbourhoods and get a similar reaction.

Good people doing their best against forces they can’t truly resist. Not a single participant in the pogrom will go to jail. It will happen again next year. All these people can do is take a hit for someone else. Which is why apartheid Israel needs dismantling, not liberal reform

וואו תקלטו מה הולך פה. זה רק מחצית מהאנשים שהתגייסו לעמוד היום ביחד מול האלימות הכהניסטית של יום ירושלים ומצעד הדגלים. אנחנו מתכוונים להגן בגופנו על כל אדם פלסטיני, על כל בית שיותקף, על כל עסק שיסומן בגזענות.

@DanNeidle So your original report did not have the intent to suggest he’d done anything wrong? You shouldve disclosed that better huh?

@Alonso_GD no, I said that the initial response from his team, denying he lived on the boat, and saying he lived there occasionally, was a lie. They've since apologised, and I accept that. Completely separate from whether the original failure to register for/pay council tax was dishonest.

@DanNeidle So you did not change your mind about the facts snd there may be no errors in the claim, but surely your view of his intentions has softened… “he lied” vs “he acted in good faith and got it wrong”

We now have an action campaign for this: newscord.org/action/harry-o… In under a minute, you can demand a correction and raise a complaint to the BBC, Times, LBC, ITV, CNN, Sky News, and Reuters, who have all omitted the truth from their headlines.

@inarchus Israel has no right to “take Gaza”, so the premise of this statement is flawed

@Alonso_GD So as long as Hamas makes it sufficiently painful to take Gaza and ensures that there is complete destruction like we've seen in some places then it's genocide. Even when the people don't actually face extinction. It's just madness.

Yes when you carefully destroy homes so people with the explicit intent that these conditions lead to the group’s extinction from Gaza, that’s genocide. And when the people live in rubble in the conditions you created for them, that’s not the end of genocide, that’s the genocide
Hillel Neuer@HillelNeuer

Seven months into a ceasefire, Amnesty chief insists “the genocide is ongoing.” It's become theology. For Amnesty and its ecosystem, “genocide” is no longer a claim to be tested against reality. It’s an identity, creed, and career. Too much now depends on never letting go.

Israeli politics are truly incredible. The *opposition* to pogroms is to say instead that “Zionist power” should be deployed through holding a city under illegal occupation
Yair Golan - יאיר גולן@YairGolan1

ירושלים היא בירת ישראל. אין על כך מחלוקת אבל ריבונות היא לא רישיון לאלימות והשפלה. כוח יהודי ציוני אמיתי לא נמדד ביכולת לצעוק על סוחר מוסלמי בסמטה בעיר העתיקה או להכות עיתונאים. הוא נמדד ביכולת להחזיק עיר מורכבת, קדושה, נפיצה ומפוארת באחריות, בביטחון, בכבוד ובממלכתיות. יום ירושלים היה פעם יום של התרגשות. יום של זיכרון. יום שבו סיפרנו לעצמנו סיפור גדול על חזרה הביתה, על בירת ישראל, על עיר שחוברה לה יחדיו. בשנים האחרונות הימין הקיצוני חטף לנו את היום הזה. לקחו את הדגל והפכו אותו למקל. לקחו יום לאומי והפכו אותו למפגן של עליונות, גזענות ותקיעת אצבע בעין. לקחו את אהבת ירושלים והחליפו אותה בפרובוקציה. אז לא. זו לא אהבת ירושלים. מי שמכבד את דגל ישראל לא משתמש בו כדי לכסות על שנאה. יום ירושלים הוא לא של הכהניסטים הקיצוניים שמחפשים תמונות פרובוקציה בשער שכם. הוא לא של מי שהפכו את העיר הקדושה ביותר לישראל לזירת התגרות פוליטית. ירושלים לא צריכה מצעד של שנאה. היא צריכה הנהגה עם עמוד שדרה, לב פתוח ואחדות מחברת.
