New Year resolutions: Spend less time on Twitter worrying about crazy views held by mad people I don’t know, who will never listen or be persuaded, whose opinions I don’t care about or may not even exist. Ride my bike more. Watch Villa win the Premier League & UEFA conference.

People like to say that Israel funded Hamas because what follows is that Israel is responsible for October 7th. And there is nothing that delights Jew haters more than victim blaming Jews for being burnt alive. The truth is a lot more complicated. Israel was under tremendous…

Extraordinary that one of the country’s most experienced and accomplished journalists did not notice that a club he’s been a member of for 31 years did not allow women members until there was a public campaign.

Various Garrick Club members including Sting, Mark Knopfler and leading actors and producers have reportedly written to the Club chairman saying they’ll resign if the membership doesn’t vote to accept women next Tuesday. Many others like me would also find it impossible to stay.

This #YomHaShoah , I’m thinking of Alex Dancyg. Born in Warsaw, 1948, to Holocaust survivor parents. He’s a Holocaust historian, and on October 7, Hamas took him hostage from Nir Oz. Captivity survivors say he gave history lectures to fellow hostages. Hamas must let him go. 🎗️

This evening on #YomHaShoah , Holocaust Remembrance Day, I light this #YellowCandle in memory my dad’s mum and sisters, Ruzena Sommerova, Ilse and Trude Stillerova, murdered in Treblinka in 1942, and all those killed in the Holocaust. We honour their memory as we say Never Again.

The Kerem Shalom crossing which is used to move aid into Gaza is closed tonight because Hamas aimed a barrage of rockets at it. Hamas could not care less about people in Gaza. They want them to suffer as much as possible to persuade people in the West it is all Israel's fault.

Hamas attack humanitarian aid because they don’t care for humanity. The world must act to release the hostages, and free the people of Gaza from Hamas’s vicious rule.

Utterly, utterly disgusting. This revolting guy spits towards people in the street and the policeman does nothing at all about it. What is going on?

🚨🚨🚨 We just have a full blown collapse in standards. A man spits all over the floor in the direction of a counter protestor (in London) and the police on the scene show almost zero interest. The norms of society and general behaviour are being mocked and torn apart.…

It’s not like 1997. That’s true. But it’s a damn sight better than 2017 and 2019, that’s for sure.

If you're on the left, the results are very heartening indeed. - The Tories got smashed, and will lose the next election - But this is nothing like 1997. Labour had a 17 point lead over the Tories in the local elections before the 1997 general election. This time, they have a…

Hamas is a death cult with a mandate to destroy the Jewish state. They have murdered thousands of Jews. Their leaders live in luxury while the Palestinian people live in squalor. Anyone wearing this symbol is deranged, sadistic or both.

Israel has done more to prevent civilian casualties in war than any military in history — above & beyond what international law requires & more than the US did in its wars in Iraq & Afghanistan -- setting a standard that will be both hard & potentially problematic to repeat. 🧵

In his speech after winning the Gipton and Harehills seat in Leeds yesterday, Mothin Ali declared it was a “win for the people of Gaza”. Look what he said on October 7th.

Big backlash against Labour spin on this. But it's a fact. Labour's vote has fallen back in areas with significant Muslim populations. And the primary reason for that is Gaza. There's no point everyone burying the heads in the sand and trying to ignore it.
