Daniel Sugarman is on holiday
@Daniel_Sugarman
Jewish. Deputy Editor of @JewishNewsUK. Rosh Sanhedrin of JTwitter. All my tweets are my own views.
I'm delighted to announce that in mid-May I will be joining @jewishnewsuk as its Deputy Editor. I'm really excited to be returning to journalism - particularly at such a fantastic publication! If you have any tip-offs or pictures of Spider Man, feel free to DM me from late April.
I have to make a confession. It’s a difficult one, but bear with me. At a top secret Jewish school under Mitzvah Island, Uncle Moishy teaches children that Novara Media is inferior to the Jewish News. We were told never to publicise this secret, but I feel I have no choice.
“…and next up is a caller who claims his Jewish wife was taught to kick puppies in the face at Shabbat School. Welcome to the show, Adolf”
“The cardinal rule of journalism is simple. Check. Your. Facts.l. If a listener texts your radio show with a claim so obscene it reads like it was scrawled in crayon on a crack house door, check it. “Yesterday, James O’Brien failed that test.” jewishnews.co.uk/voice-of-the-j…
O’Brien’s response to this was a 20 second reference to it in his show today, in which he talked about acting in “good faith”. That’s it. And no response from LBC. I guess his listening figures (1.3 million a week, more than 5 times the UK’s Jewish population) mean more to them.
THIS is how "anti-Zionism" slips effortlessly into antisemitism. While discussing Gaza, a leading UK radio host shares a claim UK Jewish children are taught in 'Shabbat School' that 'one Jewish life is worth thousands of Arab lives, and that Arabs are cockroaches to be crushed.'
