We have planted trees in Israel for those who help fight antisemitism

Before we were rudely interrupted by a pandemic, I ran a campaign asking British Jews to put forward names of those who they feel are standing by them in the fight we face against rising antisemitism. They also donated, to honour those fighting with trees being planted in Israel in their names. Forty trees in total have been planted and this week a certificate has … Continue reading We have planted trees in Israel for those who help fight antisemitism

The Labour Party conference (and being thrown out at another JVL event)

I am back down in Brighton for the Labour Party Conference. Credit were it is due – this is a very different conference from the ones I attended when Corbyn was leader. But it is also true that if you scratch the surface there are signs of serious trouble ahead. And as a reminder of how toxic the party can still be – I was … Continue reading The Labour Party conference (and being thrown out at another JVL event)

Teaching to hate – UK Islamist extremism grows in confidence

I doubt many have heard of Safiyya Shaikh. She was a Muslim convert who plotted to blow up London’s St Paul’s Cathedral and then kill herself in a suicide attack somewhere nearby on the London Underground.  Fortunately, the intelligence services got to her first The BBC news reports at the time tended to focus on a ‘drug addict’ element, which like the ‘mental illness’ excuse … Continue reading Teaching to hate – UK Islamist extremism grows in confidence

Anti-Israel propaganda on two wheels – Cycling Weekly turns toxic

The thing about the antisemitism ‘whack-a-mole’ game is that you can never be sure where the next anti-Israel propagandist will pop up. I mean – Who would think of checking one of the UK’s oldest and biggest cycling magazines, ‘Cycling Weekly’, for lies about Israel? But as it turns out, one of their writers has a hard-core anti-Israel fetish. Cycling Weekly’s latest edition carried a … Continue reading Anti-Israel propaganda on two wheels – Cycling Weekly turns toxic

Wikipedia – the most active spreader of antisemitism on the planet

Today – tens of millions of people – including many children -will type something into Google’s search box. Because of Google’s algorithm, a Wikipedia entry will almost always feature as one of the top results: It has probably held true for a number of years that more people have their opinion shaped by Wikipedia on a daily basis – than by any other information source. … Continue reading Wikipedia – the most active spreader of antisemitism on the planet

Weekend at David’s. Relentless attacks – on Jews, Zionism and Israel

The current attacks on Jewish people, Zionism and Israel are relentless. Zoom provides a cheap and easy option to hold an endless stream of events and anti-Israel activists are making the most of it. This is the story of my weekend: Weekend – Friday night starter On Friday night, just before I sat down to eat dinner and welcome the Shabbat with my family, I … Continue reading Weekend at David’s.

Na’amod – toxic anti-Zionism with no students to be seen

Nobody should be in any doubt that the group called Na’amod are at the core – an anti-Zionist organisation that was set up to undermine Jewish community support for Israel. They are targeting our children and their focus on the ‘occupation’ and ‘Gaza’ is little more than a strategic deflection. If you mistakenly think Na’amod is some innocent student ‘anti-occupation group’ – you will be … Continue reading Na’amod – toxic anti-Zionism with no students to be seen

Lies and more lies. PSC and the viral BDS fake news circus

I am just coming to the end of a project that has taken almost a year and had promised myself that I would not get distracted in the final stretch. But when this week highlighted just how badly anti-Israel activism is dependant on fake news and lies, I decided to take a slight detour to share it with you. Divestment and the lies of BDS … Continue reading Lies and more lies. PSC and the viral BDS fake news circus

A win for the whole Jewish community – make no mistake

2020 may have been a bad year for almost everyone, but it is ending on a note that gives the Jewish community in the UK something to celebrate. On Friday I received an email that contained a decision from the Professional Standards Authority on the Nazim Ali ‘Al Quds’ antisemitism case. The Professional Standards Authority decided that the General Pharmaceutical Council’s Fitness to Practise Committee … Continue reading A win for the whole Jewish community – make no mistake
