@NicholasTyrone @gen2023157616 It's a low-risk bandwagon for attention seekers cloying for reward from the in-crowd: a type of moral botox dressing up hate wrinkles to look sassy Mass marketing exercise banking on Jews being outnumbered cornered unthreatening Hypocrites & suckers

Imagine making a conflict thousands of miles away from you, that you have no stake in yourself and little understanding of besides, the basis of your entire identity, down to breaking up long held friendships over it.

@MaxE2review From both sides of the political spectrum the diversity scam is a cultural weapon used to impose totalitarian dominion When the neo-nazis say diversity is our strength they mean theirs not yours

Millions of Muslims in one place. Not a single non-Muslim in attendance, in fact non-Muslims are strictly forbidden from entering the entire area, perpetually. This doesn't seem to bother Khan, though. A man who has built his entire career on claiming things in the West are not 'diverse' enough. How odd! He's repeatedly badgered and hounded institutions ranging from architectural groups to the broadcasting industry for being insufficiently diverse. He literally set up the Orwellian-sounding 'Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm' to ensure artificial levels of diversity are baked into every aspect of public life. He even had a go at Pride for being too white and not ethnically mixed enough. Is he making any similar complaints about this immense annual Islamic gathering of vastly higher numbers of people, that is literally as non-diverse as it's physically possible for such a gathering to be? Of course not. And he'd call you islamophobic if you did. This isn't just about Khan - he's the embodiment of a wider, deeply hypocritical and unpleasant wordview. One that's built on the ideologically-driven, and blatantly inconsistent, application of standards to different racial and cultural groups, for sectarian and identitarian reasons. These people are frauds.

Why is hating Jews so fun? Antisemitism offers revelation, moral certainty, and even a sense of belonging. That's what has made it so psychologically rewarding for centuries. In the social media age, the pleasures of the mob have never been more accessible. tabletmag.com/sections/news/…

@benonwine @Patricia344130 The intolerable conceit of these moral purists is that they believe they have the right to terrorise anyone they disagree with Its an abuse of democratic freedoms A totalitarian will to dominance Compulsive hate normalised Unafraid and undeterred 👹

The man accused of abusing Dame Helen Mirren in the street has been identified as Tom Carroll, a far-left activist from North London. Told you all yesterday it would be some Hard Left Loon and I was right and they are emboldened as ever because they have this evil government supporting them so with hate in their hearts they are spreading vile antisemitism. Carroll was previously linked to anti-Israel protests and, according to reports, was sentenced in 2023 to 12 months’ probation and 200 hours of community service after pleading not guilty to charges arising from an incident involving an elderly woman. Now he stands accused of verbally abusing 80-year-old Dame Helen Mirren, calling her an “evil Zionist b****” as she walked through London with her husband. Whatever your views on Israel or Palestine, harassing an elderly woman in the street is not activism it’s intimidation and verbal assault and he needs to be arrested and prosecuted, these lefties must be taught a lesson and soft justice is no deterrent. And if this is what passes for “anti-fascism” these days, many people will be asking whether the extremists have become the very thing they claim to oppose. There’s a saying that the FASCIST’S of the future will call themselves ANTI-FASCIST and that is becoming evidently clear. Should this nut case be arrested for verbally abusing Helen Mirren?

@simonmontefiore @Irishchutzpah The idea of history as a critical evidence based science underpins Western civilisation, of how we think of ourselves, past present & future It is a pillar of reason, a fundamental freedom Ahistorical faith based ideologies are rooting for enslavement

This matters. An obscure London event on the history of the ancient Jewish kingdoms in Judea and Israel is cancelled because of ‘security concerns’ and it turns out this was a reaction to a campaign to fill and then undermine the event by activist disrupters. How strange! Why would a posse of aggressive activists be interested in the arcane details of bullae and steles and ostraca and inscriptions and numismatics in some small South Levantine kingdoms in the Iron Age? Well, it is a little more than that which is why it is both disturbing and important. And it matters because at its least it is a threat to history in Britain’s - but also the world’s - greatest temple of History @britishmuseum - and its scholarly integrity. The BM and its leadership are decent and well-meaning and have explained that they wished to save an event from disruption by bullying vandals but I am sure the BM realizes it is essential to announce a new event fast lest it give the impression that the permission of tiny cadres of aggressive bullies are required before it hold events. But the significance is wider than an event about the Moab and Tel Dan steles in a great museum. British cultural life is the right and exercise of civic and cultural freedom – a privilege of our liberal democracy - that does not require the permission of gangs of ideological activists nor can it cancelled or postponed nor endured at their beck and sufferance nor permitted with a bend of the knee to their permissions or veto. But that is what this appears to be. Across the cultural world in the West, though the bewildered middleaged managers of our institutions that are confronting and often submitting to a wave of self-righteous blackmail and mob threat, there is an increasingly thin – indeed ever more fragile and sometimes nigh invisible – line between ‘security concerns’ – and institutional pusillanimity. Then there is the history itself. This event concerns the study of the ancient kingdoms of Judah and Israel that existed between roughly 1100BC and 586BCin the Levant. It is not a coincidence that this was chosen for disruption. The history of the Judean kingdoms and the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem that stood for most of the time between 1000BC and 70ADetc is important and fascinating history in its own right, supported by complex and growing archaeological finds. These small kingdoms and the subsequent Temple priestly mini-state (restored by the Persian kings Cyrus and Darius 539BC) and then the larger Judean kingdoms of the Hasmoneans and Herodians – between 167BC and 135AD chronicle the long indigenous history of Jews in the region – which the protesters are keen to erase. This is a political project of ideological erasure and malicious incitement of course concerned with the complex, brutal Israel-Palestine conflict that has now gone on for a hundred years and is unlikely to be solved in a small lecture theatre in the British Museum. But it also attempts to deny or erase Jewish history itself – and by implication the heritage of British Jews who live here in Britain, a small community that is now under cultural and sometimes physical threat. Incidentally - but it is worth saying, this history does not deny anyone else’s history, nor the many other small realms in this region through ancient times nor the many names of the region and its entities and the historical origins of those names (Canaan, or Philistia or Peleset, Phoenicia, Aram Damascus or Moab or later Nabatea and the provinces of Palaestina Prime, Seconda and Tertia and the Ghassanid kingdoms and so on etc etc). The history of one can not be used to erase the history of the other and does not need to do so. The pursuit of knowledge which is one of the delights of human life and is the mission of the BM and indeed anyone who writes, reads or enjoys history, can celebrate and recognize all of these. Yet this protest and the many like it deployed across Britain nowadays is the opposite of that - an attack on history using the methods of intimidation and vandalism. Much of this involves distorting or dismantling actual history or often lying to replace it with a fabricated ideological structure that nourishes no one and helps no one but degrades our culture and civic life not to speak of history itself. By the way, the frequent claims that these histories or names are ‘denied’ or ‘noone knows them’ is nonsense: anyone and everyone who is interested knows this history. (Much of it appears for example in my book Jerusalem a history of the Holy Land.) And this is relevant not just to those of us who write study or enjoy the history of the region but also to those who believe that cultural life and civic society is a right that must not be submitted to the aggressions and plots of loud well-organized much-indulged ideologues who take advantage of the freedoms of our society to undermine its principles and the very freedoms they are designed to guard. Just as vital is a rule of history itself that concerrns the rise and fall of civilizations: the society that ceases to allow to free discussion of ideas and stops respecting and recognizing the value of scientific and historical sources and facts is a society that will fail.

@travelingflying @BearGund The conceit of pentinence Or the self-indulgence of decadence

Liberal woman says that eating meat is misogynistic, racist & an expression of White supremacy: “Our Whiteness is part of the problem with meat eating” Nowadays it feels like everything; eating, doing math, or even basic daily things is called racist. It’s ridiculous.

@RealGeorgeFree All part of a global campaign to justify jewhate racism As though they are preparing the ground for something terrible Vilification > normalisation > exclusion > destruction The antiracists have found their scapegoat

🇦🇺 Australia: ‘Palestinian’ Flotilla Activists Arrive at Sydney Airport, Allege Physical and Sexual Abuse by Israeli Authorities. Why do these people always behave as if they’re mentally ill?

@StarrJpost @OBernois3581 Main purpose of the flotilla was to legitimise vilification of Israel aka normalising jewhate Which is now the only acceptable racism Favoured by the neo nazi new moralists aka proPalestinists

Gaza flotilla member: Main purpose of flotilla was not humanitarian aid, it was about engaging with IDF, and putting attention on Gaza. “Directly confronting the Israeli occupation forces at sea as we try to break this 20 year genocidal siege is…a historic responsibility.”

This letter in today’s Irish Times is magnificent. Please read and share Sir, – Micheál Martin’s hysterical over-reaction to the Israeli detention of Irish citizens participating in the Sumud flotilla embarrasses Ireland on the international stage yet again. These people were not innocent holidaymakers suddenly snatched at sea, but political provocateurs who desperately sought arrest and detention by Israeli forces. This event should be treated as the publicity stunt that it was. The real injured parties here are the ordinary Israeli and Irish taxpayers who have to pay for the arrest and repatriation of these middle-class narcissists. The best way for this Government to stop the genuinely shocking humiliation and mistreatment of Irish citizens would be to focus on the homelessness crisis in Ireland, or the ever-growing hospital waiting list, and ignore the self-indulgent gimmicks of the anti-Israeli lobby. – Yours, etc, DR DAVID WOODS, Dept of Classics, University College Cork.

Tired (of antisemitism) but we’re on our way to the rally today. I hope this marks a turning point. A REAL change.

The genocide lie is not a fact It is not even related to facts or evidence It is central to the neo-Christic victimology myth of Fakestin, unifying all causes designating the Jew as the killer of the Holy One An ancient salvation libel recycled

Yesterday @Le_Figaro published an interview with Historian Pierre-André Taguieff, one of France’s foremost scholars of extremism and antisemitism, who dissects the ideology of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, founder of the far left La France Insoumise party. It deserves a wider audience. Because what is happening in France is not a French exception. Taguieff identifies the ideological engine: a worldview built entirely around permanent enemies. The oligarchs. The fascists. The Zionists. The “dominant” white elites. The genius of this construction is that the enemy list is infinitely expandable. Anyone who criticizes the movement gets absorbed into it. Journalists are “rats.” Opponents are far right fascists. Critics are agents of the oligarchy. But the concept that should travel farthest beyond France is this. Mélenchon openly celebrates what he calls the “creolization” of France; the demographic and cultural transformation of the country in which the old white European majority gradually gives way to something new, which he celebrates as a liberation. The “new France” is his utopia. This is structurally identical to the far-right “great replacement” theory, with the moral valence simply reversed. The far right mourns the demographic transformation of Europe. Mélenchon celebrates it. But both are consumed by the same obsession. Both reduce France’s extraordinarily complex, living, plural society to a single question: who is replacing whom? They are mirror images of the same pathology, and they feed each other. The electoral consequence is concrete and visible. LFI has built its coalition around urban communities defined by post-colonial identity politics and political Islam. Flattering with a vision of France’s future where they are the protagonists, where their grievances are always legitimate, where the violence emanating from their ranks is always someone else’s fault. Within this ideological framework, the Intifada inside France, the harassment of Jews, the street violence is not incidental to Mélenchon’s politics. It is central. If French society is understood as a structure of oppressors versus the oppressed, of dominants versus the racialized, then the Palestinian Intifada is simply the template applied domestically. The enemy is the same. Only the geography changes. It must be the objective of this “new France” to take over. L What France is living through, the collapse of universalist republican values, the tribalization of politics, the normalization of antisemitism under the cover of antizionism, the slow delegitimization of every institution that refuses to submit to the movement’s logic — is a stress test. The same ingredients exist in varying concentrations across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe.

@AnnaTheWise1 @EliavAppelbaum "It's a complex issue what with Gaza and all the suffering.." Bullshite No it isnt a complex issue Dont justify racist scapegoating Dont indulge in Jewhate Dont blame 'the Jews' Not complex Unless you are looking for an excuse to be a neo-nazi

I've been thinking (had to have lie down afterwards obvs) about the impact of the recent comments on antisemitism by Boy George and Kemi Badenoch. I think it resonated with people so much because they were heartfelt. Boy George wasn't doing a scripted "solidarity" moment; he was just a man talking about his actual Jewish mates, the flak he's taken and that awkward silence in the studio. Same with Kemi Badenoch, straight talk after a real attack on British Jews, no hedging. In a sea of cautious statements and qualifiers, plain human decency really stands out.

This video is less than two minutes long and I implore everyone to watch it. It is indeed rather extraordinary. As Holocaust Awareness Ireland says, Patrick Kielty exhibits utter callousness with respect to the attacks on the Jewish community, astonishingly saying ‘the backdrop of that is obviously the horrors in Gaza, this is a complex thing.’ Boy George remains calm and says ‘if you don’t know any Jewish people maybe that’s the problem.’ He then asks the audience ‘do you know any Jewish people?’ Boy George is visibly taken aback by the ensuing silence, and vocalises his shock twice, remarking that it is ‘weird’ and ‘surprising me a little bit.’ Patrick looks uncomfortable and ends puts an end to the topic with a dismissive ‘mmm’. Extraordinary viewing. Just extraordinary.

@BoyGeorge @eefrat2 🙏 You may call yourself Boy George But you are nonetheless a real Mensch 💙

I was in Golders Green yesterday. I arrived just as the police presence was building. My heart goes out to the two Jewish victims and to their loved ones. We need to make our Jewish community know we support them. Even before I knew what had happened I was in tears because you could feel panic in the air. These are just regular people getting with their lives. London has always been a great multicultural city. Our Jewish community brings us so much. They are an integral part of the fabric of this city. open.spotify.com/track/570ZDO2L…

Fuck your thoughts and prayers. Do something.

@London_W4 @Sphwht6Sophia Very sorry to hear this Hope your daughter isnt too shaken 🫂

I was woken this morning at 1:45am to the sound of breaking glass and then the sound of an outboard boat engine heading away. My youngest daughter lives in a narrowboat that is moored alongside mine here in London. As I got up to see what was going on, my phone went and it was her. She had woken to someone smashing her bedroom window with a hammer, two feet from her head as she slept. She was covered in glass. Her bed was covered in glass. I rushed around and her window was completely smashed. It will have taken them several attempts to smash the whole window out as they had. Everywhere was glass. On my daughter, on the bed. Everywhere. She called the police in tears and badly shaken and they told her they weren’t going to bother coming out as it had happened now and that was that. She got a crime reference number. A young woman in London has her bedroom window smashed in the middle of the night as she sleeps and the police aren’t interested. I need to tell you all; it is essential that you realise that we do not have a police service in this country. It is essential that you realise that and take measures as I am doing, to protect yourself and your family. You will not receive help from the police. I am not now going to rant about who I believe they are here to protect, but it certainly isn’t decent, working people like my daughter. I’m incredibly proud of my daughter who is of course, very, very shaken up. This was an horrendous incident but with a bloke smashing her bedroom window in as she slept, I don’t need to explain that it could have been far worse. I could not despise the police more. They’re not fit to wear a uniform. I shall ensure that anyone who harms my family will be far less healthy than they began the day. I’m really angry. I’ve spent the night emptying the millions of glass shards from my daughter’s duvet, sheets and pillowcases. Her head was within two feet of where someone with a hammer was smashing in her bedroom window. I’ve boarded up the window to make it secure. Take care out there people. You are alone when this happens. Ensure you can protect yourself. It’s all you have. There is no support and no backup. Please realise that and take action to defend yourself and your family.
