The days of us Jews being beholden to anyone, cowering in a corner and not fighting back are over! Keep hating and marching, we will keep living and prospering - Am Yisrael Chai

@BlondShelley @EliSharabi7 Thank you my gorgeous friend for coming and supporting the charity ❤️❤️

This evening I had the privilege of attending a Strands of Hope event, where @EliSharabi7 and Alon Ohel were in conversation. Strands of Hope is a truly remarkable charity, supporting vulnerable and homeless children in Israel, young lives shaped by loss, instability and incredibly difficult beginnings. Through their work with Hut HaMeshulash, they do something simple but powerful. They see each child not for where they’ve come from, but for who they can become. As Hut HaMeshulash founders Dana and Igal Goldstein so beautifully described, every child is a diamond. And their mission is to gently polish that diamond again and again until its light becomes impossible to miss. It’s about revealing the worth, the individuality and the potential that already exists within each child. To witness this ethos brought to life tonight was deeply moving. It was an honour to hear Eli and Alon share their ‘strands of hope’ from their time in captivity and to listen to Alon not only in conversation but also at the piano, his music adding another layer of emotion and reflection to the evening. An inspiring reminder of what it means to truly see people and the impact that hope can have. Hugest thanks to the incredible @Katiebrill for a wonderful, inspiring evening

The conversation in Jewish families is, as Trevor Phillips said this morning, “who among our friends would save us?” We are in an undeniable crisis of antisemitism, and many are asking whether they need to leave Britain. Many have already done so. This is heartbreaking, but the time for weak words is over. We need to be unsparingly honest about what is happening, and what we can do about it. Antisemitism is an ancient disease, and there is no point pretending it does not come from several sources. We saw the surge in antisemitism in the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn. It has been partly purged, but there are some - like Naz Shah - on the Labour benches who have made antisemitic statements in the past. We saw in the Maccabi Tel Aviv scandal that Labour are up to their necks in corruption and communalism in places like the West Midlands. Starmer and Mahmood got away with this - but they knew the police and council had worked together to ban the Israeli fans. They didn’t intervene to stop it because they didn’t see the problem. But the scandal happened because the authorities took the side of Islamists over Jews. Now we see the surge of the Greens - a party absolutely riven with sectarianism and antisemitic candidates and activists. And on the online right, we’re starting to see some of the antisemitic language we’ve seen emerge in the recent years in America. It’s not at all of the same scale - but that could change and it would be wrong to ignore it. Above all though - and this is where too many find it difficult to tell the truth - we have an undoubted antisemitism problem among the Muslim population. Polls show among British Muslims: - Around half say “Jews have too much power over UK government policy.” - Four in ten say the same for the media and the financial industry. - Only one in four believe Hamas committed rape and murder on 7 October. - Only one in four believes Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish homeland. - Around half feel more sympathy with Hamas than Israel. When people ask why Britain - for so long previously a welcoming place for Jews - suddenly has such a problem, this is obviously the most significant change. The official Muslim population here has doubled from 1.6 million in 2001 to over four million today. Some studies suggest seventeen per cent of our population will be Muslim by 2050. Only around half of Muslims in Britain today were born here. And the countries from which Muslim immigrants are coming often have entrenched antisemitic cultures. Pakistan, Somalia, the Middle East. We are importing hatred that should never be welcome here. We are faced with a choice between keeping our Jewish citizens and receiving more and more people from these places. The choice we should make ought to be obvious. We should deport any foreigner who espouses this hatred. We should show zero tolerance to any British nationals who incites hatred and violence. We have to clamp down on the hate marches, and lock up those who are guilty of public order offences and incitement - including anybody who calls to “globalise the intifada” and chants “death to the IDF.” Above all, we have to stop importing hatred and extremism and antisemitism from countries where we know these things are rife. I waited a few days after the Golders Green attack before commenting because I wanted to see what the reaction would be. Unfortunately it was exactly as anticipated: weak words, no action, promises to build higher walls around our Jewish citizens. But I am not willing to sit here and watch as my friends discuss with their loved ones whether they should give up on Britain and emigrate. As a country, we have a choice to make - and my choice is to stand unequivocally with Britain’s Jews.

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.

@JakeWSimons Not now, not ever.

Not now Zack

@MummyisT @ZackPolanski Of course he is, just the type to run for that vile party

Raja Ateeq called Jews “cockroaches” in a post shortly after October 7th He’s now running for the Green Party @ZackPolanski how do you sleep at night you vile vile man

@RmSalih No. Hateful, moronic, scummy, ill-educated tossers are. This is blatantly obvious for anyone with eyes to see.

The actions of the Israeli regime are the main cause of antisemitism in the UK. This is blatantly obvious for anyone with eyes to see.

@eliotranch Thank you Ellie 🫶🏻

Exactly this 👇. Until now I've been posting on X under a pseudonym. I'm naturally private. I'm wary of declarative shit on social media. And I've used this account as a free, anonymous outlet for my rising fear of what's happening to our society. But now is not the time to hide. The 76-year-old Jewish man stabbed at a bus stop in Golders Green couldn't hide. Jewish children going to school under guard can't hide. Worshippers heading to synagogue with trepidation can't hide. If we keep ignoring the patterns - imported conflicts and hatreds, institutional double standards, and the unreal reframing of words and violence - none of us will be able to hide for long. There are far more of us who reject this than it sometimes feels. People who value reality over ideology, evidence over slogans and Western freedoms over imported (and homegrown) hatred. But we are often shut away from each other in fear. We're quieter. We're anonymous. So my real name is Ellie Rofe. I'm a nobody of no importance. But Jews in the UK (and elsewhere) now have one more name and face (via a terrible sodding photo 😂!) they can recognise as standing with them. I stand with you. Plainly and without apology. For whatever that's worth. What else can I do to help? @e1duchess @joshxhowie @vampywitchy

BREAKING: The Israeli Foreign Ministry has released footage of the latest Gaza flotilla crew playing onboard Israeli Naval ships. The activists claim they’re being abused. 🤣

Well said to this woman! Disgusting and vile from @TheGreenParty

@HeidiBachram @Conviction19c There are farts more intelligent than him

Medhi Hasan went on ITV last night to talk about the stabbing of two Jews in London and declared it’s a “problem” that many Jewish ppl support Israel. Very unhelpful to say the least.

@I_am_a_star09 @kthalps @jk_rowling @zarahsultana No shit!

@Katiebrill @kthalps @jk_rowling @zarahsultana you do know she is Jewish right ?

.@zarahsultana I assume this is a different Zarah Sultana MP to the one who was recently filmed clapping along to loudspeaker chants for intifada, on a street in Surrey. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…

@MummyisT @karin_booklover We love you, you are always by our side and us by yours

My friends in the Jewish community are under attack in the UK. I don’t know how to help them and all those in power offer are weak words. Those who attack them appear to be protected politically. It’s 2026 in Britain and Jews are targeted multiple times a day. It’s 2026 and we learned nothing.

@kthalps @jk_rowling @zarahsultana White Zionist? Not the win you think it is, bore off!

@Katiebrill @jk_rowling @zarahsultana As opposed to the white Zionist tweeting at me? I’m a Leftist, by the way. Not a lib. Not that you understand that distinction but worth a try.

Kicking a knife wielding cunt in the head to make him give up his knife is entirely justified. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

@kthalps @jk_rowling @zarahsultana Liberal white saviour telling us what intifada means

@jk_rowling @zarahsultana I don't think you know what intifada means.

@hugorifkind Like this?

Just a small shout-out to each and every one of my fellow Jews out there who now find themselves working really hard not to spend their entire evening telling people on the internet to fuck off.

@itsalljade ❤️❤️

Dear British Jews. Hello I see you. I am checking in with you to see how you are? I hold your pain in my heart today and for all the other atrocities you have went through recently. It may feel like you are alone but you are not Solitary from Jade in the USA

@koshercockney @Conviction19c @jk_rowling Queen!

So much LOVE for this woman. Thank you @jk_rowling

@JuliaHB1 @JonPegasus Always mental health problems

The Met Police have confirmed that the Golders Green terror suspect is a British national who was born in Somalia. We imported this man to our country and then gave him a British passport. And now he's under arrest after a knife rampage against Jews in broad daylight. We're also told he has mental health problems and a history of violence. But remember everyone, diversity is our strength.

This fat terrorist leeched off British benefits for years, gorging himself until his belly was massive then went out stabbing Jews in the street. These parasites aren’t just clowns they’re a real danger. Deport every single one of them now !!
