Peter Beinart, a one state solution and the Jewish far-left

Peter Beinart recently wrote an article of Jewish surrender that was published in Jewish Currents. Falling over itself, the New York Times rushed to publish an abbreviated version to ensure the piece was given a much wider audience. Beinart  The thrust of the Beinart argument is simple. Beinart used to believe in a Jewish state – he doesn’t anymore, and as he lives in his … Continue reading Peter Beinart, a one state solution and the Jewish far-left

Doxing minors, intimidation and the toxic hatemongers on the hard left

The smears, lies, fear and intimidation of the hard-left. A Statement: Those who read this blog or follow me on Twitter or Facebook are well aware that I am used to being harassed and abused online. To be honest, given what I do, there is a certain expectation of a response. But fighting these people is no war of words. My website has been hacked, … Continue reading Doxing minors, intimidation and the toxic hatemongers on the hard left

So you think you know the Israelis?

There is so much ignorance about Israel and Israelis. So many lies are told by anti-Israel haters, yet sometimes the truth is so simple and staring everyone in the face. Who are the Israelis? I like the personal touch so I thought I would take you on a bit of a tour to meet some: Avraham Kiryati Avraham Kiryati was 8 years old when in … Continue reading So you think you know the Israelis?

As toxic an event about free speech and antisemitism as you will ever see

I have sat through many toxic events in my time, but even for me yesterday was something special. A gathering of no less than four of the Labour party’s ‘antisemitism’ stars, Chris Williamson, Jackie Walker, Tony Greenstein and Mark Wadsworth. As an additional bonus they had a special American panel member – the conspiracy theorist and anti-Zionist rock star, Max Blumenthal. It could have been … Continue reading As toxic an event about free speech and antisemitism as you will ever see

An annexation that isn’t – British Jewry loses the plot

Israel is a democracy with a large Jewish majority. Since 1967, and the three ‘Nos’ at the Arab Summit in Khartoum, Israel has been trying to navigate a geo-political nightmare. On the one hand, it would very much like to build bridges with all its neighbours, on the other it faces a hostile Arab population that is unable to come to terms with Israel’s existence. … Continue reading An annexation that isn’t – British Jewry loses the plot

L’Chaim – Israel – To Haim – a story of so many lives lost

Listing Jews named Haim who were innocent victims of terrorism and the conflict. Not soldiers, but family men and children going about their day. How many can there be? Like all my research, the tragic truth is always heartbreakingly worse than the imagination. To Haim. To all of them. On October 13 2015 Haim Haviv was sitting on a bus in Jerusalem. He was out … Continue reading L’Chaim – Israel – To Haim – a story of so many lives lost

IHRC Al Quds 2020 – terrorists, extremists, antisemites and violence

The IHRC Al Quds Day 2020 was like no other. If you doubt that the BDS movement supports violence, seeks to destroy Israel and wants to rid the Middle East of Jews, then you should sit through the whole toxic 150 minutes of this online event like I did. Each year, the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) are given permission to hold a radical Islamist … Continue reading IHRC Al Quds 2020 – terrorists, extremists, antisemites and violence

Fighting the academic demonisation of Israel in schools

How do you deal with historical distortion in academic  textbooks and propaganda in schools and universities? I would argue that if you want to really fight this fight, then you have to begin by understanding just how widespread the problem really is. (On Wednesday I spoke as part of a panel on anti-Zionist, antisemitic propaganda in schools. The event was organised and chaired by UK … Continue reading Fighting the academic demonisation of Israel in schools

The CAABU letter, British MPs – hypocrisy, antisemitism and discrimination

The CAABU letter. How rancid and hypocritical can British MPs be? In the coming months Israel may or may not reclaim sovereignty of land along the Jordanian border. Petitions are being signed advocating boycott, sanctions and other diplomatic penalties. Every anti-Israel group talks about it being the end of Israel’s democracy, proof of Apartheid and whatever other nonsensical term they seek to use. Early May … Continue reading The CAABU letter, British MPs – hypocrisy, antisemitism and discrimination

Nakba – a Twitter tale of 7 million distortions

Today on Twitter is Nakba Day. It is commemorated on 15th May, the day following Israel’s independence. As bad as the distortion and ignorance surrounding the conflict may be on any normal day, the nakba anniversary always takes it to a whole new level of insane. The true story behind the Nakba is a simple one. The UN partitioned the land between a Jewish state … Continue reading Nakba – a Twitter tale of 7 million distortions
