I couldn’t work out why my page was disappearing on the “Rising in World Politics” chart after gaining over 1,300 subscribers this month. Now I learn that it’s because it has made it onto the “World Politics” main chart! Thanks to everyone who supports my work.❤️ Link in bio!
I’ve done a bit of digging on the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation situation. I still don’t like the plan, and still think continued operations in Gaza are doing more harm than good. Still, that’s just my opinion. Let’s try and unpack the nonsense and get to something that looks…
"This morning, at approximately 10:42 and 36 seconds, I began reading what I believed to be a heartfelt message from a listener named "Chris." It was only halfway through the fifth reference to "blood-infused matzah" that my producer informed me — via a Post-It note, thrown…
James O’Brien has finally apologised. Says he read out the hateful comments about Jews in “good faith”. What do we think?
Dear @AshleyTaborKing, The more I listen to the James O’Brien show from Tuesday 22 July, the worse it sounds. And the fact that your producers then promoted a clip of that segment on LBC’s official social media channels the same day, before quietly deleting it, makes it all the…
This is disgraceful from @mrjamesob – platforming a modern blood libel against Jews live on national radio. There’s no such thing as “Shabbat school”. No Jewish child in the UK is taught that vile, racist nonsense. This is a stain on @LBC and its producers.
“…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”

‘I’m going to read this out from Chris who says that his Jewish wife used to drink the blood of gentile children during Passover Mass in a leafy Hertfordshire town. Wow, thank you for sharing Chris.’
This insane and completely baseless "Protocols of the Elders of Zion"-level conspiracy wasn’t just broadcast on LBC—the producers liked it so much, they clipped it and shared it across all their social media platforms. If any other minority were slandered like this, the UK police…
The UN ignores Hamas whenever it can. To hear their account of the war, this hasn’t been two sides fighting: it’s all been Israel. EXCEPT when it comes to aid, and the UN needs the excuse of maintaining neutrality with the terror group Hamas to avoid working with Israel.
Breaking: I just discovered that former U.S. Education Secretary William Bennett registered this month as a foreign agent for Qatar. Per the new FARA filings, he’s being paid $30k per month for 7 months to, and I quote, “publicize the fact that Qatari higher education efforts do…
Today's @washingtonpost breaks down exactly how Hamas stole aid from Palestinians to fund its war machine: "Earlier in the war, Hamas relied on taxes imposed on commercial shipments and the seizure of humanitarian goods, according to Gazans and current and former Israeli and…
This morning on @BBCr4today, @bbcnickrobinson repeatedly stated as facts Hamas claims about Gaza aid site killings. No hint of attribution or the fact that these are allegations. @BBC, this is not journalism. This is advocacy. Listeners deserve proper reporting, not terrorist…

It seems that this appalling clip of @MrJamesOB has now been removed by @LBC. This is a modern blood libel on national radio, amplified by a host who likely wouldn’t think twice about cutting off the caller were he promoting such grotesque falsehoods about another minority. No…
So you deleted your disgraceful post @LBC? Well too late, you and @mrjamesob have lies put into the world. Proper evil lies. Proudly broadcast and then on social media. All to demonise Jews. What makes me saddest is this the total opposite to the truth. All my kids go to Jewish…
⬇️ Proof that the @UN has aid inside Gaza, but it’s still sitting out of reach of Palestinians in desperate need. From day one, we’ve extended our hand to the UN and other international bodies to help deliver their aid safely to the people of Gaza. But every day that they…
🎥 WATCH: 950 trucks worth of aid, currently waiting in Gaza❗️for international organizations to pick up and distribute to Gazan civilians. This is after Israel facilitated the aid entry into Gaza.
Brighton can be a hateful place. But that’s not the only story of my city. There are beautiful ppl who spent hours making origami butterflies in honour of hostage Guy Gilboa-Dalal. He has a passion for Japan. Our butterflies are caught in a net of captivity. GET THEM FREE.
We’ve seen this a thousand times and we’ll see it a thousand more. There is nothing anyone can do for Gaza that Hamas won’t undo. If a ceasefire comes, as I hope it will, Hamas will use it to plan more of this same kind of war. If GHF collapses and all aid returns to UN hands,…
Hamas's secret police (Sahm/arrow unit) is turning up the heat against starving civilians in Gaza. It arrested a group of men who received food boxes from a GHF site in Rafah, only to steal their food parcels, beat, and strip them naked. According to those who were arrested,…
