This is racism, isnāt it?.No other word for it. A venue canāt ban people because theyāre Jewish. What would happen if far right thugs posed a risk to a venue with black performers?.Would they be banned too?.Of course not. Everyone would be rightly outraged

Why wonāt the UN distribute the food already in Gaza?.
Here are photos of UN trucks & enough food to feed all of Gaza but it sits rotting! UN is a tool of Hamas! US based GHF is actually delivering food FOR FREE and SAFELY. UN food is either looted by Hamas or rots in the sun! Photos from yesterday.

Why is James O'Brien back on air this morning?.Thereās been no apology, no explanation, nothing at all as far as I can see yet. Come on @LBC - sort this out now.
This is appalling. It is completely unacceptable. @LBC must deal with it immediately and ensure nothing like this can happen again. Iām sure theyād be taking the presenter off air if racist nonsense was read out about any other minority.

Disgraceful. 84% of rapes in @DurhamPolice area go unsolved, the overall crime rate is above national average and criminal damage and arson is double the national average, but they have time to harass someone for going to Israel. Iāll be raising this with the govt.
My story on how influencer mum @MummyisT was referred to Prevent and had police knocking on her door because she made a trip to Israel. Full story below.

For James O'Brien to uncritically read out this outrageous claim as the truth is irresponsible and dangerous journalism. At a time of heightened antisemitism when synagogues and Jewish schools require increased security, the threat created by such unsubstantiated claims is real.

Not content with refusing to call Hamas terrorists, here the BBC describe them as āGaza Officialsā. They broadcast terroristsā propaganda with no evidence or scrutiny at all and call them āofficialsā. What a disgrace it has become.

My column for @TheSun explains why the BBCās biased, inaccurate and disproportionate coverage of Israel fuels racism here in the UK.
