UPDATE: A Slough 🇬🇧 man was charged after attacking an Orthodox Jew. Shafiq Rahman was seen approaching the Jewish man, shouting, “Dirty motherf*cking Jew”, “Baby killer”, "I’ll break your f*cking jaw”.

Two students in Berlin 🇩🇪 were harassed by people driving by. The students were wearing kippahs, which prompted the driver and passenger to stop by them and smugly shout, "Free Palestine". Jews in Berlin, not in Israel, not part of the Israeli government. Yet people think this will help Palestine.

The best way to combat propaganda campaigns about PM Netanyahu’s health? Being honest with the public about PM Netanyahu’s health.

It’s illustrative of how homophobic men’s football is, that a player accused of racist slurs defended himself by saying that his slurs were ‘only’ homophobic - leading to a six game ban rather than a ten game ban.

Nesya Karadi, 11, died this morning after the regime in Iran wounded her in a missile strike on Bnei Brak, Israel the night before Passover. The regime in Iran’s only goal was to murder innocents. May Nesya’s memory be a blessing 💔

My work in the West Bank as a humanitarian officer for the IDF has given me a perspective that I think is missing from a lot of conversations around the settler issue. If we want real, lasting peace, then we need to confront reality. Read more here: https://bit.ly/4ucd5I8

This week the our clinical team shared their research and learning, with presentations on dysphagia innovation, homelessness and neuropsychology, AI in HIV education, and frailty in people living with HIV. Thank you to Gilead Sciences for their support. www.mildmay.nhs.uk/post/celebra...

BREAKING: The IDF says Hezbollah launched explosive-laden drones at troops in southern Lebanon 🇱🇧, further jeopardizing a ceasefire.

“At McDonalds our most important ingredient is Irish farmers.” Distinct Jonathan Swift vibes to this new departure in fast food.

People will tell you, "It's just criticism of Israel. How dare you bring antisemitism into this?" And where do the Hitler mustache and Nazi salute fit into the criticism, exactly?

A year has passed since the UK Supreme Court decided that when parliament used the terms “man” and “woman” in the Equality Act 2010 it was referring to biological sex, not acquired gender. That seemed clear, but some academics appear not to have understood it. rozenberg.substack.com/p/whats-in-a...

I'm a supporter of the Lords and in particular of the way that it controls its own timetable. But this is a constitutional outrage and it cannot stand humanists.uk/2026/04/24/a...

Short and strong piece on why user friendly edtech, AI tutors and the like, endangers learning by removing the productive friction. Constrained AI might be seen as a solution, but is that then really better than education without AI? a roundtable chat in a room? link.springer.com/article/10.1...

BREAKING: Hezbollah just shot several rockets at northern Israel, in a clear violation of the ceasefire.

Yesterday, a has-been musician called out "American Zionists" for being privileged. One day later, a man is arrested for kicking a Jewish boy, a bomb threat is made at a Jewish school, and a woman is arrested for planning to "kill as many Jews as possible". Not sure what kind of privilege that is.

You annual reminder that William Shakespeare did not write the works of Shakespeare, which were instead written by someone with the same name living at the same time.

Deadlock over. The EU just cleared way for the €90-billion-loan for Ukraine and the 20th sanctions package. Russia’s war economy is under growing strain, while Ukraine is getting a major boost. We will provide Ukraine what it needs to hold its ground, until Putin understands his war leads nowhere.

This is lovely for Peter. I'm sure both he and his family will be thoroughly chuffed. As will all the many many students of Peter (me included) who wouldn't be doing what they are doing today if not for his remarkable knowledge and expertise, astute guidance and unfailingly enthusiastic support.

GOOD NEWS: A 7-year-old girl has been released from the hospital after a series of surgeries and is in good condition after being critically injured by a missile fired by the regime in Iran. The regime targeted civilians over the past months in Israel, Iran, and elsewhere.

Always recommend downloading the NASA app as the notifications put all of our problems into perspective.

Angelina Han Hicks, 18, has been arrested for conspiring to "kill as many Jews as possible" at Congregation Beth Israel in Houston. She was planning the attack for 2028 alongside two co-conspirators. At least 3 people planning a massive attack on Jews years in advance.

A Long Island father and son have been arrested after police found bombs made with explosive chemicals inside their home. They were investigating the home because the teenage son had drawn a swastika in his high school's bathroom. Because it never ends at "just" words or drawings.

Julian Casablancas, lead singer of The Strokes, has the ultimate trick up his sleeve. With just a single interview, he can say something antisemitic and have the entire audience believe he is the victim of it. Read about it here: https://bit.ly/4cGEGdh

We are currently in the 3-5 day pause on the 14 day extension of the initial 48 hour hard deadline for the ceasefire.

Weird that they would fire the navy secretary who’s been overseeing a war we’ve won at least five times.

The US government has explained why it regards its military strikes against Iran as lawful. It says its actions amount to self-defence — both in protecting itself and in collective self-defence of Israel. rozenberg.substack.com/p/laws-of-war

For generations, Jews ended their prayers with the same words: “Next year in Jerusalem.” It was said in times of exile, in uncertainty, in places far from home. Yom Ha’atzmaut is the answer to those prayers.

In Ereda, Estonia 🇪🇪, a memorial dedicated to Holocaust victims was severely vandalized. A place meant to remember lives that were taken is now being targeted itself. This isn’t just damage to a monument, it’s an attack on memory.

Today, Amirali Miriafari, 24, an Iranian student and computer technician, was executed by the regime in Iran. He had been arrested during protests in January. Another young life taken after demanding change.

Jewish "privilege" is having the majority of hate crimes in locations all around the world being aimed at Jews for being Jewish, yet people will still insist your people are overly privileged and complaining about nothing that matters.

The Regime in Iran's judiciary is stating that Trump has spread "false news" by posting that the regime agreed to halt the executions of 8 protesting women. I don't know about you, but I don't consider lying a worse crime than slaughtering innocent women.

There are many countries with an Independence Day. But Yom Ha’atzmaut marks something rare: the return of an ancient people to the land they never stopped calling home. After centuries of displacement, after everything that tried to erase them, they didn’t just survive. They rebuilt. 🇮🇱

In Osh, Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬, a hotel displayed a sign stating that Jews are not permitted to enter, alongside symbols banning a Star of David and a dog. Imagine the global reaction if any other religion or ethnicity were singled out like this. Unless it’s Jews.

If it's not right to only uplift one narrative then why aren't former hostages invited to Free Palestine events? I actually agree, it's important to acknowledge every reality in this war. But you don't get to play that card when you vehemently oppose Jewish and Israeli voices getting to speak.

Astounding story from @ftm.nl: admin judge in the Netherlands sent 4000 deliberately crippling FOI requests to municipialities just to see what would happen—he had a 'feeling' abuse was possible. Potentially to do a PhD on it, although 0 marks for methodology. www.ftm.nl/artikelen/my...
