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
Sarah Wilkinson is a Holocaust denier and rabid antisemitic conspiracy theorist. She is also a star of UK anti-Israel activism. Sarah Wilkinson was one of the three people recently charged over an attack on an Elbit factory, and has appeared in ‘Palestine Action‘ videos boasting about the feat. Yesterday she posted an absurd statement of denial about her antisemitism. Why is the Sarah Wilkinson case … Continue reading Sarah Wilkinson, the Holocaust denying star of anti-Israel activism
The epicentre of global antisemitic activity is – astonishingly – academia. Anti-Zionist, antisemitic academics beget more anti-Zionist, antisemitic academics, all scratching each other’s backs and agreeing with each other. It is almost impossible to follow a research path on the subject of Israel unless you have spent several years mentored by an Islamist, a Marxist or someone who claims Palestinian heritage. If you show potential … Continue reading Academia – the epicentre of global antisemitism
Tell people that Wiki is a problem when it comes to antisemitism or historical revisionism and they will most likely brush you off. You will hear stock responses that range from ‘everyone knows that about Wikipedia‘ or ‘I only use it as a guide‘ to the more expertly constructed excuse that ‘most people understand it isn’t 100% accurate, but it is a good starting point … Continue reading Exclusive – Project Wiki – how Wikipedia is breeding armies of antisemites
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
During the Channel 4 news on Monday, they ran a segment about Palestinian voices in the UK. Because of the disinformation and propaganda contained within, there has since been an uproar about the item and several complaints made to OFCOM. This is how the piece is described by Channel 4 News: The news team ran a segment *made* by a pro-Palestinian activist. As a student, … Continue reading Channel 4 – meet the extremists in the ‘Palestinian voices’ news clip
It is absolutely wrong to say that Arab residents of Mandated Palestine did not suffer a NAKBA (catastrophe) in 1948. History shows that from their perspective, whatever the truth of the conflict itself, the end result was a catastrophe for them. But is accepting they suffered a catastrophe the same as accepting that the Palestinian NAKBA narrative is true? No, it most certainly is not. … Continue reading There is no room for Israel in the lies of the Nakba narrative
Glasgow University is ranked as a top UK university. The University is a member of the Russell Group. It runs a platform called esharp which is an ‘international online journal for postgraduate research.’ The University is very proud of the outlet. It states that all the papers are ‘double blind peer reviewed’. The university claims that the ‘rigorous and constructive process is designed to enhance … Continue reading Glasgow University publishes antisemitic conspiracy theory
Boycotting Jews is nothing new, and in order to protect the current mutation (the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions movement), antisemites are hiding behind a massive straw man argument about personal freedoms. From persecution to boycotting Outside of the Old Testament, early Jewish history is difficult to piece together. The earliest tribal leader that told his clan not to deal with the Hebrews is lost to … Continue reading Boycotting Jews is nothing new. It is as old as antisemitism
The Guardian newspaper is on a mission. Over the last few days, it has published several ‘Jew-hostile’ news and opinion pieces. For example, two that attempted to discredit the EHRC (the statutory body that conducted the investigation into Labour’s antisemitism), and two more that set out to undermine the IHRA definition of antisemitism. The David Feldman piece The criticism of the IHRA definition of antisemitism … Continue reading The Guardian – lost between antisemites and oblivion
