While ambulances burn @joshglancy will, thankfully, be preparing another supercilious piece regretting the hysteria of the Jewish hoi-polloi, Engels-like dissociating himself from lumpen Jewry to again garner the peer back-slapping of @DAaronovitch & @alexmassie , while brushing aside the learned critique of @ShMMor. Here on the hard left we love to hear that the Kristallnacht echoes of the smashed windows of a not-even-Jewish-owned London cafe are OTT & we cannot wait for your next offering, Josh! #FreePalestine

@AaronBastani Aaron, would it not be worth holding fire before promoting Lowkey's suggestion that this was a false flag?
All manner of possible explanations for this apparent lapse that don't involve Mossad setting fire to Jewish ambulances, not least arms-length criminals making a mistake
English
Will certainly be interesting to see what a police investigation shows. There should be serious resources committed to it.
Lowkey@Lowkey0nline
It has also been drawn to my attention that the Hebrew word used for immigration in this statement is “Aliyah” עליה which has specific Zionist connotations.
English
Iranian schoolbooks don’t even refer to Israel on a map. Rather odd if Iranians suddenly use it here in a political statement.
Lowkey@Lowkey0nline
It is worthy of note that the group which is claiming responsibility for the burning of ambulances last night refers to Palestine as “the land of Israel.” It does so in both English and Arabic, which is particularly unusual.

@CorbynSnap @DAaronovitch @alexmassie And here I am engaging with his point. If you're going to trawl through replies to troll me, then trawl through all of them!

@ShMMor I don't massively dispute all that context. But I'm not sure it makes the response to this particular column rational or proportionate.

@joshglancy Don't often disagree with you, but I think you've missed some pretty big things about the nature of antisemitism (a comprehensive doctrine not a just prejudice), the importance of elite buy-in in mobilizing violence against a minority (and the uniqueness of that elite buy-in...

🚨NEW … from me!
I’m over the moon to be joining the @spectator as commissioning editor and writer-at-large from the end of June
A full circle moment after their CV-blind internship launched my career aged 19 — thrilled to be heading back to work with an incredible team! ✍🏼

@YouAreLobbyLud Please take a moment to consider why your response to an antisemitic arson attack, quite possibly terror, is to try to win a days-old argument about a column in The Guardian.
Yes, I’m deeply troubled by this appalling incident near my own home. Also stand by what I wrote.
English
@joshglancy How troubling do you think it is now? Does the torching of the ambulances make any difference?

This is a deeply shocking antisemitic arson attack.
My thoughts are with the Jewish community who are waking up this morning to this horrific news.
Antisemitism has no place in our society.
Anyone with any information must come forward to the police.
Barnet MPS | North West BCU@MPSBarnet
We are investigating an antisemitic arson attack on Jewish ambulances in Golders Green. We know this will cause significant concern in the local community and are stepping up patrols and engaging with faith leaders. Read more here: mynewsdesk.com/uk/metpoliceuk…

🚨 NEW: After 3 years and 10 months, my time at the Sun is coming to a close.
I am beyond excited to share that I will be joining the Spectator from late April as political correspondent, working with the amazing @ShippersUnbound and @JAHeale
English
@BrynHarris6 Inclined to agree with that. But I don't argue for Rejoin and at present the government doesn't either. Rather a closer, more profitable alignment, in the absence of any better ideas.
English
The rejoin argument is nonsense on stilts. It baffles me intelligent people buy into it. Polls on EU membership mean *nothing* while the matter isn't a live political issue. Reopen the issue & leavers will win the argument standing on their heads. 1/

Incredibly balanced, sensible and realistic column this week by @joshglancy. It is nice for a British writer to appear in a British paper and reflect on the EU side of this conversation for once.

@joshglancy @thetimes The EU isn’t working, why would we want to join that failure.
English
Labour's realignment with the EU will be slow, painful and expensive. But they are right to do it anyway, because Brexit isn't working

@ShMMor @jenn26265 I wouldn’t call the entire staff of the Daily Express racist, that would be foolish. Ditto The Guardian, as the person I was contradicting did.
English
@joshglancy @jenn26265 As ever, do the madlibs with another minority and see if the argument still works ("The Daily Express can't be racist against immigrants because hundreds of people work there").
English
Again, this stuff is just way over the top, accusing an entire newspaper of being racist. Don’t give up on complexity and nuance out there!
Jonathan Glass@JonathanSGlass
I was asked a question that I cannot answer. Apart from Jonny Freedland, is there any other journalist @guardian who isn’t an antisemite? I was stumped. Can anyone suggest someone?
English
@YouAreLobbyLud I think the situation is a very troubling one, but should met where it really is
English
@joshglancy But what if it is actually a crisis?
English
@YouAreLobbyLud The purpose is to inject a sense of proportion and rationality and self-awareness into this debate, so that we don't descend into a howling void of permacrisis and paranoia.
English
That's because there's a high level of nastiness, meaning Jewish buildings and events need security guards, attacks are frequent and have culminated in Bondi and the level of Jew hate and denial of Jewish suffering in the media is off the scale. I don't know what purpose this "calm-mongering" from you serves. It just seems nonsensical and self-harming.
English
@londonette @joshglancy Yes, a very silly piece. Not as if this is a one-off. Remember the Steve Bell cartoon? When was that? Five years ago?
English
@joshglancy Who said anything about banning?
It's just a weird source to turn to as an authority in a discussion between Jews.
Fairly obviously, I would have thought.
English
@joshglancy Thanks for the New Testament quotation. Definitely not a weird choice.
