This footage of Palestine Action attacking a security guard and smashing a police officer over the head with a hammer is horrific. For months we’ve had politicians, journalists, students and celebrities defend this group and insist they’re “non-violent.” They’re all silent now.

If you choose to protest outside a synagogue, you’re not ‘pro-Palestinian.’ You’re just anti-Jewish.
Earlier today we were made aware of plans for a pro-Palestine protest outside St John’s Wood Synagogue this afternoon. We understand why the group's decision to protest at this location will cause concern to some communities. There is no legal mechanism to ban the protest from

Something is going very wrong in Britain. We’re watching a country where the police seem able to shut down protests they don’t like, bend to political pressure when it suits them, and yet somehow become completely powerless when Jewish people are the ones being targeted. A

I just saw this article for the first time - a wonderful tribute to Michael Ben-Gad’s fortitude. Fantastic to know that his ‘apology’ apparently went viral around the world. https://t.co/ee0xnQDmFI

At universities across Britain, anti-Israel bigotry is the new normal, but Professor Michael Ben-Gad refused to be cowed in his own classroom

UCL has reported this to the police and banned the academic from campus. The Provost has called it “heinous antisemitism” and apologised to Jewish students. That’s welcome, but this shouldn’t have happened and wouldn’t have if UCL took antisemitism seriously in the first place.
At my university, UCL, this week, an academic repeated the medieval blood libel that Jews murder to use non-Jewish blood in our rituals. Centuries of massacres against Jews began with exactly this myth. Will @ucl actually do anything about this or stay silent as usual?

Eighty-seven years ago today the world watched as Jewish homes, shops and synagogues were burnt across Germany and Austria. Windows were smashed, Torah scrolls set alight, hundreds of synagogues destroyed, 91 Jews murdered and tens of thousands imprisoned. Families who had

“A human zoo had been created for the entertainment of antisemites.” “When British Jews need metal fences at a football ground, something has gone profoundly wrong.” This is Britain in 2025.

Desperately sad to hear of the passing of the great Manfred Goldberg z”l (1930–2025) 💔 A true hero and legend who rebuilt a large and loving family with faith after the Holocaust, and spent decades educating and inspiring many thousands. May his memory forever be a blessing.

The complete normalisation of antisemitism across the West - and the applause it now receives in mainstream politics - should worry us all.

I’ve just come out of another UCL Jewish Society event, guarded as usual by security. Last week on campus, an Israel Society Jewish history event was hijacked and blocked by masked protestors shouting antisemitic chants. If you read UCL’s initial statement, you might think it

If you’re a Jewish person in the UK just now, you see: 1. Jewish worshippers being murdered 2. Jewish schools and synagogues fortified like war zones 3. Jewish events routinely disrupted 4. Endless protests in which antisemitic chants are heard, often by masked people It’s not

A Jewish man was arrested in London because his Star of David necklace was said to have “antagonised” a group of protesters. Think about that for a moment: a man was arrested for wearing his small symbol of his faith. Yet in 2025, in Britain, that was apparently enough to

History teaches us this: when a nation cannot protect its Jews, it will soon fail to protect anyone. The Jews are the canary in the coal mine. And right now, the canary is gasping.

Being Jewish antagonises antisemites. That’s not new. Arresting the Jew, not the antisemites, isn’t new either. We’ve seen this before. We know where it leads. Our streets, be it London, Birmingham or Manchester, are not safe for Jews.
