If you read one piece today make it this extraordinary article from Lord Glasman on how he emerged from 12 hours of fasting during Yom Kippur to turn on his phone and be met by a cacophony of grief Every word is carefully weighed, it is a beautiful piece of writing. Well worth

You have to be pretty sick to go and chant “from the river to the sea” at a train station on the day of an antisemitic terrorist attack in which two British Jews were murdered.

This was a vile and disgusting attack on a synagogue in Manchester. On Yom Kippur – the holiest day of the Jewish year – families gathered in prayer were targets for violence. My heart goes out to all those hurt and affected. I know many in our Jewish community will feel shaken.

Overnight, a synagogue and Jewish children’s nursery in Golders Green were desecrated with excrement. That makes 8 antisemitic attacks in just over a week, all by the same suspect, caught clearly on CCTV. Eight attacks. One suspect. Still no arrest…

Dear @BBCLondonNews 70,000 marched through London today calling out Jew hatred - which is at record levels - you’ve documented some of it yourselves. I just watched your evening news. After the tube strike, your only other story was.. a special needs school closing because
#BritainsMarchAgainstAntisemitism has arrived at Parliament Square. Britain is the mother of Parliaments and of modern democracy. But with elected officials hounded by extremists and the House of Commons forced to amend its procedures to appease the mob, the fabric of our civic

Stand up and show your support as Jews in Britain face a wave of anti-Semitism. This is a shameful stain on our nation. Never again is NOW. Please join the march against anti-Semitism on Sunday. ⬇️

BREAKING: Palestinian activist Saleem Nussibeh outside the Israeli embassy in London: “This will become the embassy of Palestine; there will be no peace in the Middle East until Israel is destroyed.” They are openly genocidal.

1/ If there were a real famine in Gaza, you wouldn’t need invented death tolls, staged photos, or secret UN rule changes to prove it. You’d need only to look. But what we see, and what’s being hidden, tells a very different story. Let’s examine the facts: 🧵

The Co-op boycotts all Israeli products… but proudly stocks Palestinian beer. @mizo_1976 I interviewed the woman behind it, and she refused, twice, to condemn Hamas’ sexual violence on 7 October. Hypocrisy on tap. 🍺

Israel helps evacuate cancer sufferer from Gaza to Italy. She dies there of leukaemia. BBC suggests Israel starved her to death. To the BBC, even cancer is Israel’s fault. https://t.co/9EbFskcHm4
