At today’s grotesque hostage release ceremony, Hamas took along 2 other hostages and parked them in a van nearby. They then filmed those 2 hostages begging for their lives. They’ve released that footage, which has been widely shared over at the other place. I just thought some of you should know.

I have written for @jewishnews.bsky.social about how it's time to phase out UNRWA, a hopelessly compromised agency which has only exacerbated the extreme tensions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. www.jewishnews.co.uk/opinion-unrw...

Much as it’s nice to see politicians around the world saying stuff like “Antisemitism has no place here, this is not who we are”, that’s Step 1. Step 2 is working to ensure that’s the case. Too many politicians seem to just keep repeating Step 1 and thinking that’s enough.

I have written for the @jewishnews.bsky.social about the fact that, as Hamas carried out its mass murder on October 7th 2023, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign called up the Met Police to organise a rally. www.jewishnews.co.uk/opinion-pscs...

Stew Peters is also enormously antisemitic and claims that Israel's actions in Gaza just prove that Jews are evil. Just the kind of person Kash Patel hangs around with.

*Public Announcement* After 5 years at the Board of Deputies, including 3 as Director of Public Affairs, I'll be moving on from the organisation at the end of April. The Honorary Officers and Staff Team are doing a fantastic job of taking the organisation forward. (1/2)

Still sad to me that there wasn’t some epic schism between astronomers over whether Pluto is still a planet or not, everyone just kind of shrugged and accepted it.

History repeats itself, the first time as tragedy, the second time as “yes, I saw what one of the revolving cast of tragic clowns in the three-ring circus did, but I’m too tired to be furious.” Sorry, farce. I meant farce.

I don't think antisemites who rant about the Talmud have the slightest idea of what it says or how it reads. So, for general edification, I have drafted the attached, which gives a just a small sense of what it's like to read the Talmud. And that's without 500 different commentaries on it.

Authors of BlueSky, I hope you can help me. After years of effort, interrupted by distractions that were entirely my fault ("look, a squirrel!"), I have finally finished the 1st draft of a fantasy novel (100,000 words). Do you have any constructive advice re: getting an agent/getting published?
