As antisemitism becomes rampant on parts of the US right, it is jarring to come back to this piece from a few days go, in which Rabbi Dunner tells British Jews it is over them and suggests they are offered sanctuary in America.
"Let’s give British Jews the same chance America once gave Irish famine victims, Russian dissidents, Vietnamese boat people, and Afghan translators." This WSJ piece on antisemitism in Britain by Rabbi Pini Dunner is *absurdly* overblown https://t.co/UIfC2n6s5t

In 2000, UK top 10% incomes were no 3 in the world, but they’ve since gradually fallen and are now behind the rest of the Anglosphere and northwestern Europe; just above Spain and Italy.

I don’t think anyone should be racially abused because of their religion, their ethnicity, their nationality. I also note that this man also led calls to attack an Israeli rabbi in Leeds - calling him an ‘animal’ and a ‘creep’ which led to death threats.
A memorable night ruined by a racist thug. I was invited to speak at the EuroAsia Curry Awards on Monday night, it should have been an exciting opportunity. But on my way there, outside Earl’s Court station, I was subjected to an Islamophobic hate crime. I have now reported it

So the Uxbridge suspect came to the country illegally. Just as the Clapham acid attacker, the Hartlepool terrorist, the killers in Walsall and in Bournemouth, did. But sure, illegal migration isn’t an issue. Voters are just fed up about the economy, or racist. Enough.

That Steve Coogan, a man who has publicly condemned the media for misrepresentation and intrusion including, stridently, at the Leveson Inquiry, should be at the centre of broadcasting defamatory misrepresentations about others, in my opinion is hypocrisy of the highest order.

One of the major terrible outcomes of the past two years of war in Gaza after October 7 is that Islamists, pro-terror activists & supposed "pro-Palestine" voices are out in the open in the US and Western world, telling everyone how much they support Hamas and violent extremism,

Is it really that much of a surprise that YourParty/Zarah obsess over Israel to this degree? Five of her parliamentary colleagues were elected as independents on explicitly pro-Palestine platforms. Parliament itself spent more time talking about Israel than the NHS.
"The Greens believe that we can have diplomatic relations with Israel, and we think that is not okay." @zarahsultana breaks down the difference between Your Party and Zack Polanski's Greens. Watch the full interview, live now.
