Jeremy David Parker is a Green Party candidate hoping to represent Newton & Valley ward on Sandwell Council on 7 May. Parker's X timeline is a study in modern antisemitic tropes. Here are some of the clearest, by category. 🧵 1/14
Tel Aviv is a remarkable achievement. Israel has built one of the world’s most fun and thriving cities out of nothing.
Exclusive: Britain’s armed forces can only “think about” preparing for war as a lack of funding has left no money to buy new weapons until 2030, General Sir Richard Barrons tells @thetimes thetimes.com/article/3387f1…
It took four days but Gary "Germany in the 30s" Lineker has finally posted about the Golders Green stabbings... ...to complain that the Jews are hogging the limelight to detriment of a Muslim man who was stabbed earlier in day (zero evidence he was targeted for his ethnicity)
On Carnaby Street last night, a kid on a bike cycled up, saw it was me, looked friendly at first then offered up his favourite “lyric”: “Heil Hitler.” I wasn’t sure whether to share this. I hadn’t experienced that personally before. The most striking thing: I wasn’t shocked. No threat. No anger. Not a victim. Just: what has he been taught Hatred is learned. We are not defined by it. We answer it by what we teach.
I can't stop thinking about this clip with @jonsac and @MarinaPurkiss. I actually found it quite difficult to watch, not just because it's so wildly offensive and inappropriate, but because it perfectly illustrates something that Jews have been dealing with for thousands of years. Let me explain. Throughout history, Jews have repeatedly been told two things simultaneously. First, "This is why you're hated. You do understand this, don't you? Tell us you understand and accept it." Second, and perhaps more painful, is "For us to accept you, you're going to have to prove you're a good Jew. One of the ones we like. In order to do that, you'll have to abandon a part of your identity that we'll choose for you. Nod if you understand us." You're a communist? Don't be communist. You're a capitalist? Don't be a capitalist. You sound and dress funny. Don't do that. Be like us. Oh, you think you're one of us? You aren't one of us – don't be silly. You should be out in the open, like we are – just make sure we don’t see you. Don’t hide, though. Don’t be secretive and tribal. You people should go back where you came from. Now that you’re back where you came from, please renounce your home. It. Never. Ends. Don't do this to us any longer. Wake up, educate yourself, open your eyes, and for God's sake, cut this out. It's disgraceful.
There won’t be acres of coverage or outrage over this, I can assure you.
Watching Trevor Phillips fillet Polanski. Wow , his normal NLP strategies not working.
