Good explanation of nihilist philosophy
@SaulStaniforth @ZackPolanski Doesn't @MelanieLatest not read the news? There are daily reports coming out of what is happening in the West Bank (even leaving Gaza and Lebanon out of it). 🤷♀️ x.com/JVoiceLiberati…
Melanie Phillips thinks Israel’s behaviour has been “exemplary”. What do you even say to that? Innocent children, women and men killed but they did it “exemplary”. 🤦♂️ 😠
Bravo to this woman telling the BBC exactly what so many of us feel about the BBC and its place in the rise of antisemitism. ‘The BBC has been complicit in the situation we find ourselves in. You have fuelled this terrible situation.’
Jacob Rees Mogg delivers an historic & impassioned speech at the vigil for the two Jewish people stabbed yesterday outside 10 Downing Street A brilliant speech @Jacob_Rees_Mogg
A sign of the times, quite literally. As spotted on a kosher food shop in London.
‘To return to Britain. Why has the Jewish experience here—I do not speak of early history—been so successful? You will have your own analysis. But I believe that at least part of the explanation lies in the Judaic–Christian traditions, in the qualities and values that those two great religions have in common. This country has been deeply influenced by Jewish ethical principles. We have been brought up with the words of the great Jewish prophets ringing in our ears. We have been inspired by their vision of the world. We have drawn on the moral principles they first enunciated. Jews and Christians shared a respect for the law, a passion for freedom and an acute sense of the importance of a moral basis for life. These common ideals go far to explain why your Board, Mr. President, works against the encouraging background of a successfully integrated community.’ —Margaret Thatcher, 1981, speech to The @BoardofDeputies of British Jews.
Wow wow wow. Take a minute to watch these incredibly powerful remarks from a Rabbi in London. I’ll add - if you’ve never had to send a loved one an “are you ok?” text after yet another attack, kindly stfu.
.@POTUS: "Honoring the British King might seem an ironic beginning to our celebration of 250 years of American independence — but in fact, no tribute could be more appropriate. Long before Americans had a nation or Constitution, we first had a culture, a character, and a creed. Before we ever proclaimed our independence, Americans carried within us the rarest of gifts: moral courage, and it came from a small but mighty kingdom from across the sea."
An attack on Britain’s Jewish community is an attack on us all and our way of life. This is happening again and again and again. I’d like to thank Hatzola, Shomrim, and the emergency services for their swift response - but we’ve got more to do as a government and as a country.
