Many have been warning that the main danger to Jews comes from right-wing antisemites. Having encountered right-wing racists in the UK many times I know this to be the case. This does not excuse antisemitism on the left. On the contrary: left wing AS has terrible consequences. >>
Left wing AS betrays the left's commitment to fight racism. It boosts the right. But while we must raise concern and alarm regarding left wing antisemitism, there's no denial that physical violence against Jews comes almost always from the right. >>
And now, after the Pittsburgh massacre, some of those "fighting against antisemitism", palpably worried about the conversation shifting to the alt-right (as it should under the circumstances), work hard to remind us of antisemitism on the left. Thank you for the reminder. >>
Now, do you have something to say about alt-right antisemitism, its enabling structures or logic, that actually result in killing people?

The Balfour Declaration's forgotten clause, 101 years on: a thread on Israel, Zionism and the diaspora, after Pittsburgh >>
When discussing the Balfour Declaration, we usually remember the promise not to harm "the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine". This limited pledge reduced Arabs to "non-Jews", promised no political and national rights, and was not kept.
But we almost always forget the other condition: that the establishment of a Jewish national home should not harm "the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country". We forget this clause because after 1945 Zionism became a Jewish consensus.

I don't like the IHRA. But it a small part in the jigsaw. I believe recognition of most antisemitic incidents does not demand any particular position on Israel/Palestine. These posters are a contrary example - where people argue if it is or isn't. But it's an exception. >>
Most of the incidents so far - could be called out regardless of one's position on Israel. And had the Labour leadership been clear and forceful about these cases, we'd be in a very different place. That's what is needed now. >>
So if the leadership recognised and disavowed conspiracy theories, "fifth column", "traitor within", Judas references, etc etc, then we could take them more seriously. So far - we're not there yet.

I agree completely with Jonathan @Freedland: This antisemitism crisis is not really about Israel/Palestine. >> theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
As I've written here about a week ago: >>
The problem, as I wrote then, is that elements within Labour leadership and Jewish communal leadership insist on making this about Israel. We read reports that Corbyn considers this a "foreign policy" issue, and this CST/JLC letter is all about Israel >>

Back for the afternoon at court 26 Rolls Bldgs for High Court #postofficetrial

Post Office QC dives in with main point:

"What the claimaints are trying to do is water down the agency principle relationship almost to vanishing point to say it is basically marginal."
Interesting line from PO QC - "the Lead Claimants are not test cases…. We could have had 10 notional cases. You must be very careful of what regard you have of their experience being relative to others - because they’re not." That is a Bold Claim.
Might be true in law. But their experience, in my experience of hearing other experiences is that they do sound similar to other experiences. #postofficetrial

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Why does Twitter deliberately target Right-wing accounts for Shadow-banning and why it will sooner rather than later completely back-fire and why they are ultimately going to destroy the Left and what a great day that will be. Thread. 1/15
It is no surprise Twitter targets accounts for “wrong think” or as we on the #Right like to call it “free-think” this is because of two events which are now totally and utterly inextricably linked, #Brexit and #Trump and the Establishment have been rocked to the core. 2/15
Neither of which were supposed to happen & yet they did now the Establishment is determined never to allow it to happen again or even at all, the reason for them happening was nothing to do with social media, but was to do with people knocking on doors and persuading others. 3/15

UNFAITHFUL SHEPHERDS

"Many years ago, the then president of The National Council of Churches warned that the danger of the great religious awakening taking place in our country, might become fanatical and be carried into our political and business life!
"Perhaps this was a fair assessment, that is, if you conflate #Christian #Zionism with religious awakening. Unfortunately, these "fanatical" #Evangelicals have 0 faith in the #Christian religion to which they give empty lip service--while paying homage to those who hate #Christ.
"For lack of faith in the actual #Bible, #Evangelicals make Scofield’ Notes, (Scofield! A drunkard and a con-man allied with the Satanist, Darby) --#Evangelicals have turned Scofield’s NOTES into a DIABOLICAL FORCE in our #national life.

THE WATCHMAN

[...] "The watchman’s task has always been a thankless one.
"There are treacherous fifth column elements, who are really working for the #defeat of the #nation, at the hands of its enemies.
"These subversive elements readily gain and hold the #public’s ear, because they soothingly tell the people what they want to hear. Go back to sleep, no danger can come, and there is nothing you can do.

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
