For those who aren't keeping up, Mamdani is a Zionist now (for condeming swastika graffiti on a yeshiva)

Never thought I'd have reason to praise Ted Cruz, but 👏. We all need to be better about calling out antisemitism in our own political tribes. The instinct is to only see it when it's the other team doing it, but that's not how antisemitism works and not how we'll fix it. forward.com/fast-forward...

A modest proposal: combine Halloween, World Book Day and Purim.

As someone who spent years filling in paperwork and paying countless thousands of pounds to acquire Indefinite Leave to Remain (and then eventually citizenship), it is horrifying to think that people who have done all of that may simply have their status revoked. This language needs to stop.

The phrase "successive governments" is having a moment.

Not for the first time Netanyahu prefers the global far right to the Jewish diaspora

Which is to say: If you are suggesting that the attack was somehow deserved because all Jews support Israel, you're being antisemitic. And if you think that the attack shows why the state of Israel is behaving as it is in Gaza, you are being awful.

The attack on the Manchester synagogue was antisemitic violence. If you're talking about Israel (from any perspective) in conjunction with it, you're either being awful or antisemitic or both.

It's good to be on a platform where people express normal human empathy and dismay at the horrific synagogue attack rather than on one where they weaponise it for their grubby, divisive purposes and try to turn a tragedy into an opportunity

Elon Musk’s X is the “go-to platform for antisemitic posters,” according to a new year-long study shared exclusively with CNN: https://cnn.it/3Wbsj0W

Certain scenes get scratched into your soul youtu.be/i94ldGNNSQ0?...

Really not sure why any British politician or UK government department is still posting on X. Closing all those accounts would be actual, and instant, "consequences".

Someone send the Big Papi signal.

It’s amazing the mistakes you can make when you’ve never read a single thing about the history of antisemitism and have your head all the way up your arse

You’ve got to be f**king kidding me.

It's good when people interviewing Reform politicians about mass deportations and consigning vulnerable people to torture and death don't just ask "How would this work?" but "Isn't this immoral?" Like, the main issue with concentration camps isn't the construction logistics

All flags should be banned from Auschwitz.

Is any politician going to say anything about this or is this just fine now?

Imagine thinking the author of The Boy in the Striped Panamas has literary talent. Lols

If you have 2 mins to spare, can I kindly beg you to vote for my workshop on ‘Educating About and Against Antisemitism’ at @sxswedu.com, the annual conference which aims to “create the future of teaching and learning”. You’ll be asked to create a log-in, but it’s painless and hopefully worth it!

I didn't realise that John Boyne had ever done anything other than the atrocious Boy in Striped Pyjamas, but now I see that after being roundly criticised for writing a distortion about a subject he knew nothing about (Auschwitz), he thought to do the same thing, but this time with trans characters.

As an occasional resident of the same town on Martha's Vineyard where The Dersh lives, I can confirm that pretty much everyone there thinks he's an utter dick, and this pierogi guy's sales are about to go through the roof.

If your concern for human life involves demanding that a Jewish person, famous or otherwise, "say it!" ("free Palestine" that is), you should know that you are more likely to bring about bodily harm to that Jewish person than any positive outcome for a Palestinian. www.thejc.com/news/world/r...

You can love Israel and hate the actions of its government. You can care about Israelis and Palestinians. You can call for the hostages to be freed and for a ceasefire. Even when you feel hopeless, angry, and broken, you can choose to stay committed. That’s where hope is born.

Topic: Za’atar bagel. Discuss.

I don’t consider myself to be the world’s leading arbiter of what is/is not antisemitic or anything, but it’s safe to say I’ve engaged with a pretty good amount of the scholarship. I am 100% here for reasonable discussions but if you just want to shout me down, it’s blockety block block block.

If I post a fair amount about the antisemitism of the Left, it is not because I am right-wing, it's because I think that it is for the Left to sort out our own problems and for the Right to sort out theirs. If we're all only ever pointing fingers at the other team, no one will ever listen.

FFS I just posted a reply to @dorianlynskey.bsky.social in which I made a joke about the inherent antisemitism of more or less every conspiracy nut - and got piled on by idiots who thought I was making an actual antisemitic comment. People, I literally fight antisemitism for a living. Read my bio.

I find it strange that all the commentary from festival organisers, politicians, etc. is about the statements made by a few performers, rather than the thousands of supposedly peace-loving people who joined in the chants. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

I like this. Normally we talk about the inverse: that the presence of widespread antisemitism is a harbinger of democracy in crisis. But flipping it around is important too because it reminds us not to vote in aspiring fascists just because they may have learned to say comforting things about Jews.

New research shows that believers in conspiracy theories have no idea how fringe their own beliefs are, and they vastly overestimate their own abilities journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

An Iranian missile struck the largest hospital in southern Israel. Unlike in Gaza, there was no military bunker buried below. Still, you know the rules: Done by Israel, no matter how justified: war crime. Done to Israel, no matter how atrocious: not a war crime.

This morning on Twitter: a paid ad for a Holocaust denial book by convicted Holocaust denier Germar Rudolf.

In another time and place maybe I would feel differently about this, but Gov. Hobbs is right to veto this bill. Republicans are continuing to use antisemitism as a pretext for attacking institutions over issues that have nothing to do with Jews. It helps no one. www.jewishnews.co.uk/arizona-gove...

It says something about online bubbles and stuff that I literally did not know that there was a narrative in which Greta’s boat trip was a triumph.

This resolution is meaningless, but it does serve an important purpose, which is to remind us that antisemitism has no permanent/exclusive political home. Nice to see Rashida and Marge able to find common ground. forward.com/fast-forward...

A lot of takes on the freedom flotilla have been quite patronising, which I admit was my first reaction too. But I like this one, because it doesn't dismiss the art of activism, performative though it may be. It just highlights how this particular group has lost the plot. forward.com/opinion/7264...

Can Holocaust education address antisemitism? Instinctively, many of us would answer, "yes, of course". But the reality is less straightforward. I recently had a chance to discuss this with colleagues from @theihra.bsky.social as part of the Stories of Impact project. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxGH...

Tell me your pet’s name with a gif

If I wasn't already a single issue voter (that single issue being: stop electing total scumbags), this would be my single issue. He must be stopped. forward.com/culture/7255...

👕 When you find yourself at a festival headlined by Kneecap 😬. I was curious how many people there would even know what Hebrew looks like, let alone be able to read it. Final tally: 1 fist-bump 👊 1 request to be interviewed by a journalist 0 other engagement of any kind, whatsoever. 🤷🏻‍♂️

While we are on the topic of Irish headliners making political statements, here's one demonstrating that having a microphone doesn't necessitate oversimplifying an issue. Your empathy and anger can be multi-directional. Bono has always demonstrated that. www.jewishnews.co.uk/u2-frontman-...

As fate would have it, I bought a ticket to today's Wide Awake Festival months ago, before we knew about Kneecap being supporters of Hamas & Hezbollah. I've since written to the organisers to express my views, but they never replied. 1/

I’m just going to post this prediction here, so that one day I can point back to it with pride: Owen Jones is going to endorse Trump for a third term in 2028.

I believe that Gary Linekar genuinely cares about the vulnerable and disadvantaged AND that he has a massive blind spot when it comes to Jews. Rather than defaulting to conspiracy theories about who/what got him sacked, maybe start by accepting that both things can be true.

I will keep posting the excellent @daverich1.bsky.social until you lot all subscribe to his Substack. open.substack.com/pub/everyday...

Fighting antisemitism by increasing it, because this was never about antisemitism

This is absolutely perfect. Possibly the best assessment of the situation that I have seen, anywhere. Please read.
