Views are my own.
Nothing has prepared me for the scale of antisemitism Hamas starting this war has unleashed.
It takes my breath away.
Still finding my bearings in a world irreparably changed, but the one thing is certain.
I stand with my Jewish friends even more firmly now.

I started to watch Owen Jones discuss the video of the Hamas massacre, but seriously couldn't go past when he said there was no evidence of rape, and I've watched some hateful stuff in my time.
What an evil little shit.
Owen Jones, having made a frankly disturbing video where he questions Hamas atrocities, has spent all morning trolling

Not as tough as the hostages, especially the women and children still being held by a genocidal terrorist regime Hamas, that you just voted to give a break to.
Spare us your performance, it's tedious.
They are the Neturei Karta, a tiny sect who are funded by Iran, and got excommunicated by the Jewish community after attending a Holocaust denial convention.

This is a chant that has been frequently heard at pro-Palestinian demonstrations for many years and we are very aware of the strength of feeling in relation to it.
While there are scenarios where chanting or using these words could be unlawful depending on the specific location…
This is horrifying and abhorrent. I can only imagine how it must make Jewish people feel.
I stand with London’s Jewish community against antisemitism. Today, and always.
Together, we are strong and we will defeat the forces of hate who seek to divide us. Hate will not win.

Antisemitism will not be tolerated in our city. I’m appalled by reports of an antisemitic incident in Leicester Square over the weekend. The Met Police are now investigating it as a hate crime.
I urge you to report any information you have about this incident:
@Andy13946802
Sadly there have been reports over the years of Israeli soldiers doing that. But as with today’s reports they’re not easy to verify. The actions of Hamas and the Israeli government are inhumane and against international law.

you say that Israel has a 'higher tolerance to civilian casualties than any western country has had in the modern age'.
This is bordering on blood libel and considering our involvement in the ISIS removal from Mosul, untrue.

The death in custody of Walid Daqqa, a 62-year-old Palestinian writer who was the longest-serving Palestinian prisoner in Israeli jails after 38 years of imprisonment, is a cruel reminder of Israel’s disregard for Palestinians’ right to life ⬇️

'Do you condemn Hamas?'
Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn refuses to say if he condemns Hamas but insists 'obviously all attacks are wrong' when questioned in Liverpool
The fact women in Israel had to fight so hard to even be heard for a second over the sexual violence they endured, well that is something I can never forgive.
Rape is not resistance.
What an absolutely appauling thing so say.
Genuinely sickening that he thinks a pandemic and all the death and misery it will bring is a vindication of his failure.
Utter utter ghoul.

John McDonnell (with mic) now speaking at rally against assassination of Soleimani. Demanding the UK Government condemn the killing unequivocally. Terrifying how close this man came to becoming Chancellor.
So I joined twitter when we all supported Ed milliband, it was fun, people like me wondered if he could win, but we supported none the less. It was FUN. This is so far removed from that time.

is now.
Truely bleak.
Is there no low he can't sink to? As Owen Jones lies in the gutter, shouting that Hamas was right to take Hostages to Shifa hospital, a blatant war crime, does he know that this is pure evil?
To defend this? This?
I cannot imagine the depravity of his mind.
Well this is pretty grim.
A state we don't recognise has their flag being flown in Parliament, when one of their governing bodies just committed a massacre on Jews including British citizens.

More innocent lives must not be lost.
If this is how the IDF treat hostages imagine what the Palestinians are suffering every day.
Israeli organisations like

Trigger happy, pumped with hatred and out of control - the videos from Gaza, some filmed…

Jewish schools in London are having to close. Jewish babies we're brutally murdered, women raped and tortured, and you, YOU, tweet this.
You know what reminds me of 1930's Germany?
People like you.
As you pumped out propaganda worthy of Goebbels, that Jews were lying to kill babies in a hospital for their nefarious agenda, is it any wonder antisemitism is now at record levels in the UK.
As these lies get exposed, well
shame on you, shame on you all forever.

Nobody has the right to tell Jews they cannot cross a road in London.

@UKLabour
MP.
Every single vote for labour is a slap in the face to our UK Jewish community and I will not be complicit.
There is no reason to hate Jews, there never has been. There is no reason to hate Israel, it's a country that exists to protect the fact not enough people understand that there is no reason to hate Jews.
It's going nowhere & neither are people like me that fight antisemitism.
Do you see what your 'aid to Gaza' money gets spent on yet?
This is why there are no civilian bomb shelters. This is why there is unemployment and poverty in GAZA.
BILLIONS spent on terror tunnels under civilians, with no other aim but to kill Jews.
The UK's newspapers are running front pages on reports that, as of yet, have not been corroborated or confirmed. Politicians are repeating the claim as gospel. The reports may be true – they may not be true – but it's irresponsible in the extreme to print before we know for sure!
Peaceful protest is a cornerstone of our democracy.
I have been briefed by Sir Mark Rowley and
@metpoliceUK
on their plans to ensure order and safety in the capital today.
I back them to use their powers to manage the protest and crack down on any criminality.
These tunnels were built with money meant for civilian aid.
They are the base of some of the world's most evil terrorists.
Are you not even pretending about hunan rights any more?
#Gaza
: Israel’s flooding of tunnels with saltwater could have severe adverse human rights impacts, some long term. Goods indispensable to civilian survival could also be at risk, as well as widespread, long-term & severe environmental damage. Civilians must be protected.
Your spewing of every lie told to you by your 'contacts' in Hamas every single day for weeks, while grossly refusing to accept any word from Israel that Hamas used Shifa as a base, is the biggest spreading of blood libel I have ever seen.

What an embarrassment to see "national treasure" Stephen Fry milking his Jewish heritage, which I share, to complain that events in Gaza have unleashed a terrifying wave of racism against British Jews.
Equally no other Western country has the equivalent of ISIS on their doorstep, with the stated desire to kill them all and wipe out their state.
Could you clarify why you made this statement? On what grounds?

This is dangerously provocative, at a time when de-escalation & peace-building in the region, is needed.
This is what the all the aid money built. Not infrastructure for civilians, not a future.
Instead, they built death tunnels, an underground hell to kill Jews and kill the civilians above them.

A reminder to all those lauding the late John Pilger, of his response to the massacre on October 7th in Israel.
His legacy is that he supported or denied many genocides, nothing more.
Fellow Europeans, Italians, Germans: after the Holocaust, we should instinctively know that Genocide starts with dehumanizing the Other.
If Israel's current attack agst Palestinians doesnt prompt our strong reaction, the darkest page of our recent history has taught us nothing.
This is genuinely terrifying. I would not feel remotely safe being treated medically by anyone applauding Hamas in this way.
