Dear @UKLabour
I’m supposed to be on holiday (blimmin drones!)
Can’t I please have one day off one from your MP’s coming out in support of a rabid antisemite?
@DerbyChrisW MP Derby North.
Apologies for my so many typos in these kinds of tweets, turns out that the feelings I get through antisemitism, really affect my grammar. (Side problem really)
A quick recap.

Most people who criticise Israel, aren’t antisemites.
Most antisemites criticise Israel.

It can be subtle, here, it isn’t.

Also, some people with blue ticks are morons. Here’s my “evidence”
And more evidence of rabid antisemitism by the man @DerbyChrisW tweeted support of this morning, seeing as they asked so nicely.

I wish I could stop seeing this...

But another thread, on the worrying trend in combatting Antisemitism.

This morning I was heartened, when having read my posts, a man messaged to say he’d changed his views on AS, from a smear on Labour, to valid.

The bullying began...
I’ve deleted his name so he doesn’t get harassed again.

But from simply agreeing the evidence I’ve given looks credible, the abuse, lies, slurs ensued.

Usual stuff, baseless and/or irrelevant:

No evidence
Israel
Deluded
JC supports Jews
Smear
Support of Palestine not AS
More personal attacks on me by people joining in.

This guy using my previous attempts to stand up for Jews as evidence I’m questionable Jewish and obliquely implying I could be Antisemitic.

Oh, Paul 🙄

When I call out institutionalised Antisemitism in Labour, it’s because I’m anti-Institutionalised Antisemitism.

Not sure why that makes me a hypocrite, massive Rees-Mogg fan or ‘playing people’ by your string of msgs, but I think that says more about you than me.
Last time I’m bothering with Paul, but he is a very good example of how “anti-racism” antisemites on the left cannot grasp that they’re being racist. In his head you can say anything about Zionists/Israel without being AS. In reality he’s propagating Nazi and Soviet propaganda.
I doubt he understands what Zionism actually is. Again, it’s nothing to do with Israeli govt policy, here’s @antisemitism’s def’n, & an explanation from AS expert @daverich1’s book as to why antisemites are so keen to compare Israel to Nazis, for the many purposes it serves them.

@thelittleleftie Rosie, I’m sure you mean well. Abuse is horrible for anyone to receive. But what possible motive could I have for wanting to smear with lies about AS? He’s a pic of my with my friend of many years @_NatashaDevon, Labour supporter & mental health legend, and @lucianaberger...
@thelittleleftie @_NatashaDevon @lucianaberger Labour MP, MH champion and subject of the most hideous Antisemitic abuse from outside and within her own party. Plenty of Labour member are up in arms with what’s going on within their party, is it all a smear? @JohnMannMP @IanAustinMP @margarethodge @RuthSmeeth to name a few.
@thelittleleftie @_NatashaDevon @lucianaberger @JohnMannMP @IanAustinMP @margarethodge @RuthSmeeth I’ve rarely mentioned being Jewish before as religiously I’m atheist, culturally I’m Man United and I’ve always felt like a strange hybrid. But I’ve know lan from studying the Holocaust that that’s irrelevant to Antisemites, and I feel the injustice extremely strongly.

[Thread] Based on recent discussions with @SamuelSokol, @TarikCyrilAmar, and @AuschwitzMuseum over the continued debates regarding the "naming" of concentration camps in Poland, I've decided it's time for a thread, b/c this is not about history but the present in Poland.
What has many Poles (and state-run museums) up in arms, is ANY connection of the word "Poland" with Holocaust sites (and more broadly behavior- hence the "correction" above.) They particularly rail against the term "Polish" death or concentration camps. edition.cnn.com/2018/02/01/eur…
The argument is that Poles did not establish or run these camps...which is absolutely correct. But the problem is, no one really thinks Poles built Auschwitz, etc. Sure, there are ignorant people out there or some students, but I defy you to find a scholar making this argument.

When we launched just 9 months ago, few believed we had a realistic chance of success. Today, thanks to everyone who kept fighting, we continue to prove the doubters wrong. At the end of an incredible 2018, here’s the story of how we got here:
March 2018: Even before the #PeoplesVote campaign launched, the groups that today support the campaign all moved into the same shared campaign office, as together, we are stronger
April 2018: the launch of the #PeoplesVote campaign was attended by over 1,500 people & had top actor @SirPatStew talk about why he backed a #PeoplesVote.

Since Trump was elected, "“I never cried; I mobilized..I went to every meeting of everything.” So true of so many of us. This will resonate! #SaturdayMorning

Over the past year I’ve seen more and more of these kinds of tweets. “I didn’t like/vote for Trump, but I have to admit…..” These have to admits turn into votes. And votes turn into reinforcing his policies. And that creates a feedback loop that leads to a political tsunami.
As Trump continues to notch accomplishments, he drags in more and more people, perhaps kicking and screaming, that have to admit he’s done good things. How do you spin three Americans being released in exchange for - apparently nothing?
How do you spin people getting more money in their paychecks? How do you spin ISIS being destroyed? Al Qaeda leaders being killed? Famous blacks coming out in support of Trump? Justices filling vacancies at a record rate? Record low unemployment for blacks and Hispanics?

John Dupré kicks off proceedings, giving an intro to the ERC project he’s headed at Exeter - which has focussed on the benefits accrued by focussing on processes rather than substances in biological practice
Also tweeting from this event - @LynncChiu
Dupré tells a semi-apocryphal story about how he became interested in processes. Markets! All the comings and goings of people and objects in a street market place (for more on this, check out his Spinoza lectures)
