If anyone was wondering if Dan "Three Brackets" Hodges was among those suddenly feeling a bit nervous about their enthusiastic support for Israel, the answer is no.

Difficult to express the contempt I feel for this. No, not all Jews think "Yes, there is a genocide happening right now and children are being burnt alive, but on the other hand some of those protesting really are antisemites, which is bad, so who knows what to do?" archive.ph/E1vxH

My man here is correct, and this is the reason why the Times has been vastly more poisonous than the Sun or the Mail: 1) it is the ruling class talking to itself, setting the boundaries of acceptability and common sense, and 2) its output for 15 years has been wildly inflammatory far right drivel.

Is this the "concrete action" Starmer and Lammy angrily promised two weeks ago

Even before this, he published Douglas Murray doing his favourite "the SS felt sad about it actually" Holocaust minimisation. In the Jewish Chronicle. And faced zero consequences

Britain's premier arbiter of discrimination and bigotry has a new book out on his racial theory that the innate qualities of black and brown people exploit the good nature of white people, and are therefore putting all Jewish people at risk.

Absolutely wretched stuff from the BBC. The mixture of panic and shame in her voice

This guy's twitter feed is 50% presenting himself as a man of religion and scholar of the Torah. The other 50% is stuff like this
