You only have to go to the archives to see mountains of files about Arabs selling land to the Jews long before 1948. The fact anti-Israel activists continually claim the Jews 'stole' the land is just more ignorant, ahistorical, antisemitic nonsense.

@labourpress @Conservatives It also violates twitters verified accounts rules - they’ve changed their account to mislead whilst retaining their @ handle for their blue tick. They weren’t verified as ‘Fact Check UK’ and as such they’ve violated twitters rules.

Hi @TwitterUK @TwitterSupport @jack please tell me you’re going to do something about Conservative press team @CCHQPress changing their display name to ‘Fact Check UK’ - I’m also certain this goes against @verified rules.

Everyone involved with Israel-Palestine should abhor & unequivocally condemn the killing of 14-year-old Benjamin Ahimeir. Yes, he was a settler at an illegal outpost in the Occupied West Bank and he shouldn't have been there to begin with but this doesn't justify his kidnap and…

1. You are a racist Yishai. And you promote some of the most grotesque ideology. 2. You promote extremism and support attacks on Palestinians and the theft of Palestinian property. 3. You were apparently born in Haifa with parents from the Soviet Union. Haifa is not Judea.

@GarySpedding 1. I'm not a racist, I'm a Middle Easterner following the region's rules. 2. I'm not an extremist, just a Jewish patriot who wants my nation to stay alive. 3. Illegal settler? I'm a Jew from Judea. This is my land. 4. Jail? I was already freed from Twitter jail.

@BoardofDeputies I’m alarmed that the @BoardofDeputies is taking this position, demonising largely non-violent Palestinian protestors, stripping away their humanity and laying sole blame for this on Hamas instead of the Israeli Military who predetermined that violence & death would result.

Anti-Palestinian peopagandists are trying to victim blame and gaslight Palestinians with allegations that what has unfolded at Al Aqsa has been done purposefully by Palestinians so it can be used to incite other Palestinians elsewhere... The hasbara narrative is absolutely wild

Also where is the oversight from @CommonsForeign and members of Parliament who should have been provided this document in order to scrutinise it properly? Why is UK government not presenting full and proper answers to the House on these matters for MPs to debate it?

None of my tweets are denying Jewish history. Your backwards view that ancient history justifies the modern day oppression and violent dispossession of the indigenous Palestinian population to make way for illegal settlers like you is insulting and an abuse of Jewish culture.

@GarySpedding Gary, you spend good time (instead of playing rugby) making silly claims that Jews are foreigners and occupiers in Judea. I was just pointing out that you are actually the foreigner and that your tweets denying Jewish history are merely the continuation of Euro colonialism.

As of now, based on this 'dossier', it can be concluded that the suspension of funding for UNRWA is baseless and should never have happened. The allegations should be investigated. But also why did UNRWA fire its staff without an investigation first? They could have suspended!

No. 1. She doesn't need to disprove a malicious and false allegation 2. Asking a Jewish person to defend you on the internet because they are Jewish is extremely problematic and in itself racist. Using Jews as political pawns is antisemitic. Not something @IlhanMN would do.

If Representative @IlhanMN Omar wants to prove she’s not antisemitic she should just have one of the many Jewish employees on her Congressional staff speak in her defense.

@NadineDorries Hi Nadine, why don’t you just try to be not racist? Maybe appreciate just a little bit that the country you’ve chosen to live in is a diverse, multiethnic and multicultural country. Perhaps reflect upon the white privilege that you’ve benefited from since the moment you were born

We must hold our government accountable on this issue of UNRWA funding suspension. We deserve to know the truth about what information the government does and doesn't hold regarding the allegations against UNRWA.

The issue isn't whether Jews are indigenous or not... it is the effort to erase the indigeneity of Palestinians and the misuse of historical, cultural, and religious connection to justify domination & oppression of Palestinians... that is the issue here.

Jews have lived in the Levant since before Christianity and Islam ever existed because that’s how history works. I’m happy to have a debate about who should be in charge, but you will never convinced me that Jews aren’t indigenous to the Levant. Sorry. You really won’t. Ever.

Aggressively shouting at students - a grown man going onto university campuses to aggressively repeat talking point propaganda as though it gives him a victory. It doesn't. All it does is reveal himself to be an aggressive intimidatory hasbarist who is a danger to students.
