Antisemitism and Holocaust denial – the rise of the left

It is HMD, Holocaust Memorial Day. 27 January marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. As we pause to remember this year – we do so in the shadow of a rise of antisemitism around the world. The central sewer upon which today’s antisemitism feeds is Holocaust Denial. For decades Holocaust Denial was restricted to small gangs of Nazi apologists, instantly recognisable for the … Continue reading Antisemitism and Holocaust denial – the rise of the left

Catching the antisemites – playing a whack a mole game

Whack a mole is a popular game based on a repetitive and futile task. You are faced with numerous holes in the ground and you can never be sure out of which one the mole will appear. Your role is to ‘whack them’ wherever the pesky animals surface. The task is endless. Most of those who are seriously fighting antisemitism understand this concept perfectly. It … Continue reading Catching the antisemites – playing a whack a mole game

Speaker at leftist ‘antisemitism’ vigil – shares antisemitic websites

A few days ago there was a vigil held to stand in solidarity with Jews against recent antisemitic attacks. We all know about the antisemitic graffiti that turned up in the Hampstead area just a few days before the new year. There is no way of being absolutely certain of the political leanings of those behind the attack. However, this is not the US, and … Continue reading Speaker at leftist ‘antisemitism’ vigil – shares antisemitic websites

Antisemitism and the conflict – explained in two simple maps

This is the entire story of antisemitism and the Israel / Arab conflict delivered in two simple maps. One map is based on Jewish populations in the 1930s, the other Jewish populations today. The maps are not just of Europe or the Middle East, but the entire Europe, Middle East and North Africa region. People love to make everything seem complex. Sometimes the best thing … Continue reading Antisemitism and the conflict – explained in two simple maps

The BOD, surveys, Jewish leadership and free speech

The Board of Deputies (BOD) are about to commission a survey of British Jewish attitudes. Let me save them their money. Their survey will confirm that British Jews identify with Israel, are shy to call themselves ‘Zionist’, are in favour of a ‘two-state solution’ and hate ‘settlements’. In fact, it will say everything that the designers will want it – and will design it – … Continue reading The BOD, surveys, Jewish leadership and free speech

The orthodox Rabbis, the letter and the offices that weren’t

Did you see the letter supposedly written by the Orthodox Rabbis supporting Jeremy Corbyn? This week has been full of drama. It started on Monday, when the Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis wrote a scathing article about Jeremy Corbyn, claiming he is ‘not fit’ for high office. The Chief Rabbi was supported by the Archbishop of Canterbury and British Hindu leaders. The timing could not have … Continue reading The orthodox Rabbis, the letter and the offices that weren’t
