Let me ask you a question... What's stopping you doing this 100 times a day? Do this enough times & your inside takeaway & open club face would literally be gone... 🙂

@OrMakeOne @deborahlipstadt Yes, I get that. But that smashing of windows, which we should all condemn, was no doubt a protest triggered by Israel’s actions, not by antisemitism. Little, if any, of this would be happening if, after responding militarily, Israel was now seeking a political solution.

@TimStevensParis @deborahlipstadt There's nothing inherently antisemitic about criticising the Israeli government. But the article wasn't about that - it framed a Jewish founded business opening a shop as "heavy handed aggression" while downplaying pro-Pals smashing its windows as "small acts of petty symbolism"

If you are not following the Guardian’s facilitation of outright antisemitism on its opinion pages, you should. Now it’s trying to wriggle out by claiming the article was misunderstood. And I have a bridge in Brooklyn that I would happily sell to the #guardian
Josh Howie@joshxhowie

Nah. You know exactly what you did. After years of minimising the violence directed at Jews. And now you think you can weasel out of it. We see you @guardian. And you’ll see us tomorrow.

@rosenthal_jon Oh great, Jonathan, very helpful insight, thanks. The article implies a parallel between the power of a corporation versus a small retail outlet and the power of Israel vs the plight of Palestinians. That parallel may be questionable but it is not antisemitic.

Tim, you are confusing a bakery for the Israeli government. I know some people find it hard to tell them apart so here are some pointers. One makes tasty cinnamon rolls. The other does not. One is occupying territories in the West Bank. The other is not. Got it?
TimStevens@TimStevensParis

@deborahlipstadt Oh, give us a break. There is not a trace of antisemitism in the Guardian. It is not antisemitic to criticise the Israeli government, just as it is not islamophobic to abhor Hamas or the Iranian regime. The only path to security for Israel, which we all want, is peace. Grow up.

@stephenpollard So you have truly swallowed - hook, line and sinker- the Netanyahu spiel that criticism of Israel is anti-semitic.

All a big misunderstanding. Of course. Alternatively, the Guardian is simply lying in response to the anger its latest unambiguous antisemitism has aroused. Actually that's not an alternative. It's what happened.

@SarahLudford Do read the article, Sarah. It is not taking sides, condoning or justifying violence. And large food chains like McD or Costa, with their superior financial power, are a threat for the small, independent outlets. #TheGuardian

Hearing that @Guardian editor Katharine Viner has been overwhelmed with complaints (many from her friends) about Jonathan Liew’s abhorrent column justifying smashing up a branch of Gail’s because it had a Jewish founder. Insiders say she is beyond angry and heads will roll.

@RoryTrackr When you see the accidents happening to others, like Day, Rose, and so on, you realise what a difficult golf course this is. Even par for the week after a back issue and zero on-course prep is very respectable. Just needs to recover his confidence in his putting for birdie.

Crazy round from our guy. Still managed to shoot under par with two doubles on the scorecard. Wouldn’t put too much into this week with the back. Played better every day as he progressed.

@rory_fans Rory driving into the trees on the 16th here and putting his second into the water on the 11th at Augusta are the two things I fear the most in the golfing year. 😅

@rory_fans Given zero prep and the concern about the back, it was a very respectable round of golf. I reckon the cut line will be around + 1 or even, with these soft conditions, so a 70 should do it for him. Onwards!

Pars in. He’s stuck in well. Clearly rusty and struggling a bit. Would say the short game is deffo down to posture. He also burnt a lot of lips! Could’ve easily been like a -1. We go again tomoz! He’s gone out and given his all. He’s not gone from this. +2, 74. 💪🙏🏼

@ryanmouquegolf Something very old-fashioned in me says that to take my 3 iron out my bag is to give up on being a true golfer. Totally irrational, I know. Couldn’t play with a yellow ball either…

Ok someone at Ping is trying to tell me something I may not be ready to accept just yet... 😂 My new 4 wood was just sent as I was originally in an 8X Ventus Blue shaft & have moved into a 7X... BUT... They sent me a 7 wood as well... I like my 3 iron, should I swap it out? I'm not sure I'm ready to be a 7 wood player just yet man 😂
