I’m sorry but you would never see a Jewish person treated this way by the British media when speaking about antisemitism. The British media is not only denying Islamophobia, they are perpetuating a hierarchy of racism. Solidarity with @zarahsultana who is a class act.
🚨 The UK’s racism problem in a nutshell. When a black politician is asked her opinion on racist riots, she has to be aggressively cross examined, interrogated & mocked by a panel of four white people including the Home Secretary’s husband.

Israel is nowhere near an Apartheid state but I guess those who want desperately to believe that it is won’t ask anyone who’s actually been there.

I am begging the British media to stop saying things like "the whole Jewish community is intimidated" by these protests. You are driving a narrative that making Jews safe means silencing Palestinian solidarity. This is both immoral & endangers Jewish people. Please stop.
BBC’s Jo Coburn: “The Jewish community, maybe as a whole, feels very intimidated by this crowd chanting ‘ceasefire’”. She refers to a sit-in at Liverpool St station, calling for a ceasefire. What she fails to mention is that it was co-organised by Jewish groups. #politicslive

Articles like this actively undermine our ability to challenge the antisemitic idea that Jews are responsible for or are an extension of Israel. You can’t just deploy that conflation when it suits your argument - ie to shield Israel from accountability or criticism.

“We did not intend that our emphasis on Tikkun Olam (social repair) would lead some Jews to join anti Israel demonstrations” is both a revealing and miserable thing to say. Israel did not stop attacking Gaza today. On Yom Kippur. A catastrophic moral failing.
To all our young people this #YomKippur: we tried to instill in you a sense of justice, righteousness and honor for all people. We are proud when your generation actively pursues these values. But we did not intend for some in your generation to turn their backs on our people…

Hard not to conclude that the aid envoy was targeted by Israel to deter others bringing aid to Gaza. Why else would you hit an aid convoy three times? . What we are witnessing in Gaza is a moral abomination.
The IDF's early explanation re the killing of the World Central Kitchen team is in - per "security sources" speaking to Haaretz. Before we get to the putative pretext for the attack, they also disclose a harrowing detail - the drone bombed the convoy THREE TIMES in succession. .

I have a deep love of my Jewishness, which taught me values of universal justice and liberation. I will not have hateful men like Ben Freeman tell me that my commitment to joint struggle, internationalism & solidarity is some kind of internalised self-hatred. He is toxic.
Antizionism is a non-Jewish anti-Jewish position. Jews who are antizionist have absorbed this perspective from the non-Jewish world. Therefore, Jews who are antizionist suffer from internalised anti-Jewishness. They are tragic victims of Jew-hate.

Those misrepresenting the phrase 'from the river to the sea' as a call for 'the destruction of Israel' seem to have little regard for how the historical and contemporary actions of the Israeli state have resulted in the near destruction of Palestine. Funny that.

“After half a century of Israeli rule over Palestinians, Israel is losing the moral argument; the next best thing they can hope for is to shut down the conversation entirely.” Me in @tribunemagazine on why Sally Rooney’s solidarity with Palestinians isn’t antisemitic.
