- "We learned today that the young autistic girl who was taken hostage was too much trouble for Hamas - too much trouble - the one that JK Rowling, because she loved Harry Potter - tried to intervene and ask for mercy for - they killed her. A young girl with cerebral palsy on a
- If it's not an antisemitic movement, why does a Holocaust memorial need to be covered up? If it's a movement of people who are protesting against genocide, why does a Holocaust memorial need to be covered up?
- Why does the UK not recognise the state of Taiwan?
- So you kidnap a baby and a toddler and you take them into the heart of a war that you just deliberately started. And maybe you just murdered them. Or maybe they died in the war. Then you say, 'It's not our fault'. And then you try to sell their bodies back.
- BBC expert now saying that Israel must move negotiations forward quickly otherwise remaining Israeli hostages may die. BBC expert is not saying that Hamas should release the hostages unconditionally or that they should never have been taken in the first place.
- The University of Munich does not host antisemitic speakers. That is because it understands the dangers of hosting antisemitic speakers in universities.The University of Munich has canceled my talk, a decision I hope they will reconsider. If not, I look forward to seeing you elsewhere, German friends. May freedom of expression and your right to be informed prevail. @LMU_Muenchen
- BBC Expert: "these images may perhaps be used as fuel by the Israeli government to say we can't allow Hamas to continue" weaponizing emaciation?
- Where is all the concern about the laws of war now? Israel is carefully and accurately targeting military and regime capacity. Iran is lobbing ballistic missiles with large explosive payloads at Israeli cities. One is a war crime.
- [Thread] A message to my fellow British citizens: When we say we're worried about antisemitism, we mean it. We're not pretending or politicking. We're not trying to get an advantage in the Israel/Palestine debate or about boycotts of Israel. We're not playing a rhetorical game.
- When Owen Jones got punched in a pub by some far-right scumbag, he didn't like it. He thought it was politically significant. He was right. Nobody danced around demanding evidence. But when 1400 Jews are murdered by far-right scumbags... did it really happen? Is it important?
- The Jew-hunt in Amsterdam was not organised because of anything that the Jewish fans did. It was organised weeks in advance of them arriving.Disgusting once again! Let’s just ignore the vile chanting of racism and violence displayed by the Maccabi Tel Aviv! Can you even condemn that? Probably not!
- Replying to @realDonaldTrumpRussia invaded Ukraine. Zelensky led the Ukrainian people in a heroic defence of democracy and freedom, on behalf of us all. The debt owed by the free world to free Ukraine is incalculable. American men and women contributed to saving Europe; now Ukraine defends the USA.
- Corbyn's big lie. "We've investigated every single case" of antisemitism.
