Hamas Lies and propaganda: From Gaza to the world in less than a minute
On November 11, there was a ‘botched’ Israeli special forces raid near Khan Yunis in Gaza. We cannot know exactly what the mission intended, but Nour Baraka, a regional commander of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades (military wing of Hamas) was one of those killed in the exchange of fire. Following the Israeli operation, Hamas fired over 460 rockets at Israel in twenty-five hours. When situations … Continue reading Hamas Lies and propaganda: From Gaza to the world in less than a minute
When David met David, an evening with David Icke
In June, I saw an advert for a David Icke event due to be held this month in Watford. I didn’t think twice. In antisemitic circles, I have seen David Icke material shared more than any other. Icke is rancid and many of his vicious memes carry hard-core antisemitic images. If people are talking about conspiracies with Rothschild and Zionism and wish to present their … Continue reading When David met David, an evening with David Icke
Why are Jeremy Corbyn Facebook pages managed by Hamas puppets in Gaza?
Since the recent outbreak of violence in Gaza and Israel, I have been working on research that looks at Hamas PR and the speed in which it is delivered from Gaza to global anti-Israel activists. I thought I had left Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party behind. I was wrong. Background The research is looking at ‘independent’ social media journalists in Gaza and how they … Continue reading Why are Jeremy Corbyn Facebook pages managed by Hamas puppets in Gaza?

NYU, SJP and a response to ‘the 10 Common Misconceptions About BDS’
NYU and the ‘ten common misconceptions about BDS’ ‘Washington Square News‘, is an ‘Independent Student Newspaper’ at NYU. Three days ago they published an article written by SJP ‘Students for Justice in Palestine’. It was titled ‘10 Common Misconceptions About BDS‘ and set out to reassure the reader that the boycott movement against Israel (BDS) is a legitimate, credible, successful and ethical tool with which … Continue reading NYU, SJP and a response to ‘the 10 Common Misconceptions About BDS’
In the antisemitic swamp with Jenny Tonge – the journey of a single post
Jenny Tonge – the Baroness Jenny Tonge is a member of the House of Lords. Tonge is a key anti-Israel activist, but for years has been faced with allegations of extremism and antisemitism. In 2004 she had stated that she ‘might consider becoming a suicide bomber if she were Palestinian’. In the UK such remarks are clearly rewarded and a year later, Tonge was made … Continue reading In the antisemitic swamp with Jenny Tonge – the journey of a single post
No platformed again. Silencing debate and the shame of academia
No platformed again. Silencing debate and the shame of academia About two months ago, I received an invitation from a student society to speak at the University of Warwick alongside Ghada Karmi. I do not intend to name the society, nor the students involved, as I do not feel they are anything but unfortunate victims. The event was to be a debate on Trump and … Continue reading No platformed again. Silencing debate and the shame of academia

Events … Continue reading Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi, swimming with the antisemites
Hypocritical tweets and violence, why a Jewish protestor ends up in hospital
Yesterday evening a 70-year-old Jewish woman was attacked outside an event that set out to deny there is an antisemitism problem in the Labour Party. Eye witnesses claim she was’ kicked in the face’. Live footage shows another woman being attacked and we also see the injured woman, on the floor, being attended to by police. Luckily neither of the victims were seriously hurt. This … Continue reading Hypocritical tweets and violence, why a Jewish protestor ends up in hospital
Miko Peled, playing to the antisemitic crowd that adores him
I recently returned from a short vacation in Israel. Visiting Israel should be a requirement for anyone actively engaged in the fight against antisemitism. It works like receiving an antidote. Nothing places the IHRA definition of antisemitism into perspective better than witnessing first-hand the enormous gulf between the democratic reality on Israel’s streets and the non-existent demon-state that is described in anti-Israel Facebook groups. It … Continue reading Miko Peled, playing to the antisemitic crowd that adores him
