Four more UNRWA staffers have been identified as having taken part in the October 7 attacks on Israel Three “teachers” and one “social worker” jpost.com/middle-east/ar…

It is important to remember this: within hours of the 7th October atrocity there were anti-Isreal demonstrations on my local roads in London. How can those not be seen as pro-Hamas? To my eye the driving impulse was glee and was inherently anti-Semitic.

I regret the error and thank all those who brought the mistake to my attention. RIP Officer J.D. Tippit, killed in line of duty.

Yuval Levin of @AEI says by centralizing power, @newtgingrich didn’t just reshape Congress—he weakened it, turning lawmakers into loyalists and the speaker akin to a prime minister. “The idea that the speaker should function as a kind of prime minister, that he should be able to wield Congress as a weapon against the president of the other party, ended up meaning that the rest of the members of Congress look to party leaders for direction.” “In many ways this would be James Madison's nightmare,” said @RosenJeffrey, CEO emeritus of the @ConstitutionCtr.

A day after two men were stabbed in Golders Green, the latest sign of radicalised antisemitism, @BritishVogue featured a glowing interview with the UN’s chief antisemite @FranceskAlbs What this piece put in, and more importantly what it left out, reveals how normalised subtle antisemitism can be and - as a journalist, I’m ashamed to say - the media’s own role in it.

Today in headlines that don’t match the story…
