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".

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

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…

In a momentous week in geopolitics, it was an honour to meet with new Ambassador Warren Stephens Warren Stephens yesterday alongside communal colleagues from CST Jewish Leadership Council H.E.T. & Union of Jewish Students. We discussed Iran, peace & security for Israel & the Middle East, & antisemitism in the UK & US.

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

"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" Dave Rich jewishnews.co.uk/comment-the-pe…

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

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

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

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?

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 Dave Rich and Camila Bassi 🏳️‍🌈 The dicussion we had is more urgent today! youtube.com/watch?v=ee24oa…

“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 Combat Antisemitism Movement combatantisemitism.org/interview/prot…

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 The Jewish Chronicle thejc.com/opinion/pro-ga…

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.
