Is anti-Jewish hatred really that bad?
Aren’t you just exaggerating?

@JuliaHB1 @ArgamaniNoa Noa is an extraordinary person. So glad you could be with us to hear her important testimony.
English
Hugely inspiring evening listening to the October 7 hostage @ArgamaniNoa - who the whole world saw taken captive from the Nova festival - talking with @jonsac about her 245 days in captivity, her daring rescue by the IDF and how she survived her ordeal. An incredible young woman.

Finally! Our country is contributing to the effort to stop Iran from throttling global energy by controlling and closing down international shipping – The UK has unleashed its most powerful, most effective response yet...
Keir Starer has immediately despatched an expression of "deep concern"! That'll help!!

@NickCohen4 @MissLauraMarcus My article discusses equivalency to Judaism.

@MissLauraMarcus Would you say the same if a politician were complaining about Jewish public worship? I know some who would

“Nick Timothy represented a widely held concern that many ordinary citizens have, and went some way to explaining why they have it.
“He started a debate, in a calm and respectful way, on a topic of potentially explosive sensitivity. If that isn’t the job of a Member of Parliament, what is?”

No, Matt, it doesn’t. I wrote a thousand or so words about the debate and the reasons for it. You wrote a reactionary insult about an MP.
As for your intellect, you seem to confirm that this is the level of “reasoning”you’re capable of.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
English
@jonsac @NJ_Timothy I gave you my reasoning. “Rubbish. It’s bigotry plain and simple.” Insulting my intellect only reflects poorly on you, Jonathan.
English
An important conversation has been started by @NJ_Timothy. Let's not shy away from it.
Behind this debate lies the idea that Islam is a religion of dominance, which seeks to confer the rest of us into adherents. It’s a proselytising religion. The Islamic concept of Dawah, coupled with the regular manifestations of violent Jihad the UK and the West have had to become accustomed to over recent decades, is one reason why many people feel a genuine and legitimate sense of unease when they hear the same words terrorists shout as they slaughter us, echoing across our nation’s primary public square. It is unsettling.

@MatthewStadlen @NJ_Timothy Thanks for your reasoned and considered contribution to the discussion. It is truly up to your usual intellectual and standard.

@jonsac @NJ_Timothy An important conversation? Rubbish. It’s bigotry plain and simple.

My piece in the @JewishChron on what's wrong with the BBC and Sky News attitude towards Iran.
The Jewish Chronicle@JewishChron
The BBC just called Ali Larijani a "moderate." This is the man who oversaw the brutal repression and killing of thousands of his own people — some estimates put the figure at 30,000. Regurgitating Iranian regime talking points. Again. Read Jonathan Sacerdoti's piece below @jonsac

Thank you @aroberts_andrew.

BBC ❤️ Ali Larijani. I wonder why 🤔
@BBCNews think he's “a pragmatic figure… a man of flexibility… somebody you can do business with” and “he always seemed clever and reasonable.”
A man who once talked about an “overreaction” to the Holocaust, adding that he was “neither for, nor against” the idea that the Holocaust had really occurred, saying it was an “open question.”
@SkyNews not much better on Iran.

I took down my tweet on Iran & Larijani because it was being interpreted wrongly. As Donald Trump has hinted himself, the US may need someone to negotiate with. No good talking to a headbanger — and Larijani, though guilty of all sorts of crimes, clearly wasn’t one of those.
English
Aren't you the sitting member of parliament who posted that Israel should be 'relocated' to the US ('problem solved'), warned that 'the Jews are rallying' to skew an online poll, and compared Israeli policies to Nazi Germany? Admitted your antisemitism and got suspended for it?
@NJ_Timothy never did any of that, @NazShahBfd
Naz Shah MP@NazShahBfd
Too many are too afraid to CALL THIS OUT. Hanukkah, Diwali, Vaisakhi, celebrations of all major faiths take place in Trafalgar Square but British Muslims taking part in an open Iftar, are exceptionalised. From a sitting Member of Parliament - this is beyond awful. Where are we heading?
English
@JonathanWaxman1 I am not talking about 'better', I am talking about intention and posture. One act is reasonably seen as (and often intended as) a gesture of dominance, The other really isn't. I leave you to decide if that is 'better', but the intention matters, and in fact the effect as well.
English
It’s hard to be(come) a Jew!
But I can also see that equal treatment of religions is a reasonable but not decisive argument. I’m not sure we can make much progress arguing that Judaism is fundamentally ‘better’ than Islam - although I believe that to be the case. We might just have to agree that religion (other the state religion) does not have a place in the public square.
English
Same for Windsor Castle and Westminster Hall.
I believe most Britons probably feel angry when they see this. Ask yourself, why would anyone want their fellow citizens to feel angry about their religious actions? There is no requirement to do this, so doing it somewhere that makes people angry is a clear choice. Most people don’t want to provoke anger towards their religion.
Nick Timothy MP@NJ_Timothy
Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.
English
I am personally indifferent to the menorah. I think comparisons of Judaism and Islam in this way are complicated and unhelpful, because the values and ideas behind the religions are very different.
Judaism is not trying to convert anyone – it is an exclusive religion and actively rejects conversion, making it very difficult to join it. It is hard to imagine the menorah as a sign of domination, and they are never used in that way.
English
@jonsac I was thinking about the menorah we sometimes put in public places during Chanukah. Do you think that’s different?

What really lies beneath Britain’s silence on antisemitism?
I sat down with Tom Bower, who tore into the BBC, Gary Lineker, Holocaust memory, and the British establishment’s dangerous double standards.
