@mattzarb @RidgeandFrost @WilfredFrost What has made Jews less safe everywhere is people being antisemitic.

FIRST SINKING OF AN ENEMY SHIP BY TORPEDO SINCE WWII: Video released by the Pentagon shows the torpedo strike that sank an Iranian warship near Sri Lanka, roughly 1,000 miles from Iran's coastal waters, in the Indian Ocean. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth confirmed during a news conference Wednesday that a U.S. submarine fired the torpedo that sank the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena in the Indian Ocean, calling it the "first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War II." #post-update-072e57ca" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cbsnews.com/live-updates/u…

Saliba has 2 hands around Pedro holding him and impeding him from jumping as high as he could’ve otherwise, that’s a foul.
Rice is facing away from the ball, not interested in it, everything he’s doing is purely to impede the attacking team, that’s a foul.
Timber has two arms around Chalobah not allowing him to move, that’s a foul.
Raya superman punches Pedro in the head, that’s a foul
But it’s Chelsea so it never is

Should Chelsea have got a penalty? 🤔

Saturday Night Live hasn't been funny for years.
This is properly foul however, like poking someone in a wheelchair and saying 'you're not really disabled, you're pathetic'.

Here's scumbag Jamie Fox, who's currently crying about John Davidson, a man with Tourette's, UNCONTROLLABLY saying the N word, mocking Asian people.
What a fucking hypocrite.
James Harvey@JamesHarvey2503
🚨 Jamie Foxx has called John Davidson, a TOURETTES sufferer and campaigner who the film, I swear, is based on, a "RACIST" After he uncontrollably shouted out the N WORD during the Bafta award ceremony. Now people are apologising on behalf of John? It's an uncontrollable tick. John has no control over it. Fuck off with this woke bullshit.

Saying “Tourette’s is not an excuse to say bad things”
Is like saying “dementia is not an excuse to forget things”
Or “being deaf isn’t an excuse not hear things”
Or “being blind isn’t an excuse to not see things”
Or that “being dyslexic is not an excuse to not be able to read things”

JASON OSBORNE: “This year’s BAFTA controversy has definitively demonstrated that many care more about victimhood status than they do about actual compassion.”

@SholaMos1 What an appalling take. John Davidson has been beaten so badly he was hospitalised due to his verbal tics. He's been arrested, isolated and rejected all his life due to it, and now you publicly bully him for something he has not control over. It says more about you than him.
