It's not just a mistake. We all make mistakes.
It's that the first instinct of good people when they hear about antisemitism is to ask how the Jews brought it on themselves, or to ask whether they're any better themselves.
This incident is indicative of something significant...
The BBC’s claim that Jewish people targeted by an antisemitic attack on Oxford Street were themselves guilty of an “anti-Muslim slur” has been proved beyond any doubt to be inaccurate, after the findings of two independent reports published today.

In 1948 the UN proposed partition of British Mandate of Palestine, between Israelis and Arabs.
The Israelis accepted the deal.
The Arab League, of states ethnically defined as "Arab", invaded.
3 years after the Holocaust, they tried to kill the Jews of Israel. They failed...

Antizionism is an anti-Jewish worldview when 'Israeli-style' describes a fence that segregates 'races'.
An anti-Jewish ideology is one in which Jews, or the Jewish state, become an emotionally virulent metaphor for the unseen evils that lurk behind what is apparently wholesome.
Glastonbury. Thousands of middle class white people gather in a field to celebrate left-wing values while surrounded with an Israeli-style border fence. Preaching diversity while standing in a racially homogeneous white crowd. I need to vomit.

Israel is not like Apartheid South Africa.
In SA the majority of people, whose race was legally designated at birth, succeeded, in the end, in defeating the system of racism....

Chanukah is a celebration of Jewish survival.
Because that is not a given.
And it's a celebration of the Jewish capacity for self-defence.
Universal principles and human solidarity are good, but the capacity for self-defence is good too, just in case they fade to nothing.

Eliyahu David Kay was killed in Jerusalem by Hamas.
People say he's South African and so a colonial settler who got what he deserved.
Why do they think his family was living in South Africa in the first place?
Where on the earth was he "authentic" or "indigenous"?
NOWHERE.

It would once have been news, the President of NUS being fired for antisemitism.
Not these days. Just kind of ordinary.
She'll deny it. That antisemite on Twitter will say it's a scam.
People will assume it's a win for "the Jews".
She'll show no remorse.
Nothing will change.

The thing is, Labour MPs never mistakenly call for NHS cuts; they never inadvertently say racist things about black people; they never forget themselves and call for women to be kept in the kitchen.
But, by mistake, they accuse Jews of being agents of a foreign power.

Rachel Riley is a courageous and intelligent Jewish woman.
When she saw antisemitism she educated herself to understand it and she spoke out against it.
In response she was denounced as dishonest and she was denounced in the most antisemitic, misogynist and belittling terms.
Today I had the 1st judgement of a handful of libel cases.
The verdict supported my claim to have been defamed by Laura Murray.
Ever grateful to
@MLewisLawyer
for not allowing Jews & allies against anti-Jewish racism to be libelled without consequence.

If journalists are reporting the Loach story without explaining "Perdition", or explaining the significance of his support for Williamson, Walker, Greenstein, without reporting what he said about Holocaust denial at LP conf, without mentioning WRP, they're not telling the story.

If I had written a report which whitewashed the problem of antisemitism in the Labour Party, and if that effort was followed by the award of a peerage from the person most responsible for the antisemitism in the party, I would resign.
Labour’s Shami Chakrabarti tells

This is gutsy and intelligent.
Here's a woman who had to educate herself in how antisemitism works in a matter of a few weeks.
Jeremy Corbyn's been up to his neck in this discourse all his life and he still can't, or won't, manage it.
Here’s the podcast where I explain why I’ve become so determined in this fight against antisemitism.
Be kind. And

Why did this film about Roger Waters have to be paid for by charitable donations from people who care about antisemitism, and by John Ware working for nothing?
“Dirty kyke”
“Jew food”
“Fucking Jew”
Is Roger Waters antisemitic?
Watch The Dark Side of Roger Waters now and decide for yourself.

Hundreds of antisemitic QTs and responses.
Hundreds.
Hundreds.
This is totally unacceptable.
Intimidation and threats of violence will not be tolerated.
