Amazon Best Seller! Thank you to everyone who has bought a copy of Everyday Hate 🙏 If you want to know why antisemitism has surged since Oct 7 & what we can do about it - order it here amzn.eu/d/5PEWuxD

I appreciate that there might conceivably be some people who do not understand why "Nazi" taunts of Jewish people are regarded by us as antisemitic. This excellent article explains why that is.

Deliberately and pointedly using Holocaust references to criticise Israel is antisemitic, and yet this week two Independent MPs did exactly that. They disgrace themselves - and bring shame onto Parliament. My thoughts in @JewishChron thejc.com/opinion/pro-ga…

"I can’t remember any other single occasion when a crowd that size chanted for anyone to be killed. It’s the kind of mass hatred that belongs at a Blood & Honour neo-Nazi gig, not at Britain’s biggest music festival, broadcast live on the BBC" @daverich1 jewishnews.co.uk/comment-the-pe…

I thought it might be helpful for many Jews in New York to understand what happened in the UK a decade ago, in order to be able to prepare somewhat for the coming months. So I wrote about that here. jewishnews.co.uk/comment-i-expe…

“We do security not because we’re scared to be Jewish, but because we’re proud to be Jewish. We’re proud of our communities. We’re proud of our way of life. And we want to protect it.” My interview with @CombatASemitism combatantisemitism.org/interview/prot…

While thinking along the lines of why antiracist spaces sometimes/often ignore #antisemitism, I was reminded of this important conversation we had out our university in 2023 with @daverich1 and @dr_camila_bassi The dicussion we had is more urgent today! youtube.com/watch?v=ee24oa…

I wonder how many of Palestine Action's most vocal supporters showed the courage of their convictions and joined this protest. Or did Owen Jones, Zarah Sultana, David Miller and the rest stay at home and let the cannon fodder take the rap?

This is what “globalise the intifada” looks like: the tenth firebombing of a Jewish community building in Australia in the past 12 months.

If you are tempted to post #WeAreAllPalestineAction, think again. This is what it means…

The introduction to this book (which I started today) could have been written specifically for the '#Arabs can't be antisemitic' cabal. Thoroughly recommended. @daverich1 #antisemitism #Israel #Gaza #7October

“Zionist Jewish lobby” - how easily the pretence falls away and the antisemitism becomes clear.

In a momentous week in geopolitics, it was an honour to meet with new @USAmbUK Warren Stephens yesterday alongside communal colleagues from @CST_UK @JLC_uk @HolocaustUK & @UJS_UK. We discussed Iran, peace & security for Israel & the Middle East, & antisemitism in the UK & US.

This is fascinating and troubling in equal measure, and worth reading in full.

There is a fundamental dishonesty in the way that supporters of Palestine Action describe their activities. If you think smashing up offices, banks and factories is justified for the cause, say so. Don't hide behind euphemisms like "democratic right to protest".
