1/2
Not long after I joined twitter in 2008, I set my name to "Lord Steven Phillips" as a joke to 'one up' a pal who set their name to "Sir..."
My friends subsequently bought me an actual lordship title for my birthday...
Deeply saddened to share that overnight, all 4 sides of my car have been keyed.
No other cars damaged.
Just mine.
Just the one with the yellow ribbons and the image of the hostages.
I can't describe the feeling. It's not anger, it's not sadness, it's just numb.
Walking off Remembrance parade when a Veteran stops us to ask what our uniform was.
When he heard "Jewish" he said "I'm terribly sorry for what's going on in your homeland, know that every ex-serviceman and woman out there on parade today with me is on your side."
I've just watched the Hamas footage of the hostages.
The Certificates.
The "going home bags" like a kids birthday party.
The cinematic masterpiece of it.
..And then the FUCKING Red Cross SIGNING the certificates.
The world we are living in, is morally bankrupt.
The death of any hostage found dead now lies not on Israel.
It's not only on Hamas, but it's on EVERY SINGLE western leader who has given credibility to Hamas in the past 16 months.
Demand their release NOW and demand Hamas face consequences.
Sanction Qatar.
Bring them home.
I wasn't going to the protest tonight.
After the graffiti this morning I changed my plans...
I didn't go to the protest tonight...
I WENT TO A PARTY.
Incredibly proud to be a North London Jew right now.
#AmYisraelChai
No single survivor of an ACTUAL genocide has the resources to print banners with obscene phrases and the ability to parade around hostages.
The world is even more morally bankrupt than I thought last week.
Dear Israelis and Jews.
As we enter into night 2 of attacks from Iran.
Remember this:
There will be a festival about this one day... I'm not sure what food we'll eat, but I can guarantee we will be CELEBRATING.
עם ישראל חי! 🇮🇱❤️
I've never felt less British than I do right now.
I've always been proudly a "British Jew"...
Yet today, I feel more like a Jew who happens to be British.
On my way to Eretz Yisrael (the land of Israel) to be... well... just Jewish...!
...And by that, I mean VISITING MY INDIGENOUS HOMELAND.
Am Yisrael Chai! @ELALUSA Yalla, let's go!
