One aspect of modern antisemitism is the spiteful venom with which individuals like Chardine seek to excommunicate Jews - and only Jews - from the community of solidarity when it comes to racism. This anti-Jewish impulse is steeped in profound ignorance of Jews & antisemitism...
European Jews (including Tracy’s family) were murdered by the Nazis (forbears of the NF) specifically because they were NOT regarded as white European

White skin/blonde hair didn’t help the few Jews with those traits

And they don’t help today...
Jews remain among the prime targets of NF/ neo-Nazi ideology for exactly the same racist ideas held by the original Nazis

And Jews continue to pay for this with their lives...
When non-Jewish Chardine imposes whiteness on an ethnic minority whose history hasn’t been one of whiteness she erases their true identity. It’s antisemitism. Whilst neo-Nazis try to erase Jews by taking their lives, she engages in an AS that makes Jews disappear through lies
It should be noted that most Jews are not white. There are Jews of every skin tone. Therefore, at best skin colour is an ignorant & inept way to define Jews. At worst - a Jew’s skin colour is ONLY ever referenced for toxic reasons & as an antisemitic attack
What’s interesting is Chardine’s ignorance & antisemitism actually overlaps with the beliefs of the BNP & NF she thinks she’s in opposition to

Her attacks on Tracy are steeped in the language of Jews having too much wealth & too much power - as well as citing racial differences
It’s tragic really

That Chardine can truly believe she’s a righteous anti-racist when actually echoing racists

Moreover - doing everything in her power to passionately sew discord between minorities

Do better

If communal Jewish orgs are serious about fighting antisemitism in Britain, USA or elsewhere, they need to support grassroots activists - including financially - and give them the trust and autonomy to do what they do with immediacy, personality and boots on the ground

The antisemitic Corbyn movement was defeated in no small part cos of people like @GnasherJew who broke stories that became national news. They also responded immediately to events that became online trends, thus ensuring a narrative pushing back against AS guided the debate

There are punchy, articulate activists both sides of the pond & I dare say they are more intimately connected to the fast, dirty war of ideas antisemites are waging than those who work at the desks of Jewish communal org. They are a gift. The best of us who should be supported

I know it’s crazy but I’ve only just read The Tempest. Here are my thoughts. Some of it’s pretty good. The supernatural stuff wasn’t at all wanky. It was all emotionally fraught and plausible, aided by brilliantly earthy language of landscape and nature

1/
As ever there are lines of poetry and aphorisms so robustly rendered. There’s nothing fragile or poncy in the communication. They land like a killer riff - which is way they become part of our common every day use

2/
The drama builds with a brilliant meshing of everyone’s competing intentions - all simple in isolation but which together start to create thrilling complexity - until it actually becomes a really shit ending & everything comes together like a floppy shoelace & a damp squib

Comparing Jews to the Nazis in relation to the Israel-Palestine conflict is a way for stupid people to feel like they’ve come up with a really clever idea and that they have profound psychological smarts. They think the symmetry in the idea equals truth. Here’s why they’re thick
(Including Dave Chapelle)
Nazi’s tried to exterminate every Jew on earth for RACIST reasons. Israel-Palestine is a local LAND dispute: one in which Israel has continually sought peace. If Palestinians sought this too the conflict would end. The Nazi goal could only have ended when all Jews were dead.

I need to explain AGAIN what has been done to Jews for years via Corbyn and Loach. The Jewish community have been slandered & abused & depicted as liars for speaking out against the AS they’ve received. The most vile part of the bullying as been to defraud you the public…
the hard left held aloft fringe extremist Jews who share similar fundamentalist politics. They say “look we’re not antisemites. We love Jews.” Lots have been completely mugged off by this. You never embraced Blacks 4 Trump as proof he’s not a bigot but you did with us & Corbyn
With colonial arrogance the Loach left who aren’t Jewish constantly dictate who Jews are, what our identity is, speaking over us, telling lies. This is clear racism your spot in an instant for any other group but the world is used to thousands of years of literally owning Jews

As the @guardian continues their antisemitic game of contorting everything in existence to attack Israel, (in this instance perpetuating a libel of Jews as disease spreaders withholding vaccines), here are some other headlines I’ve written for them to keep up their sleeves:
Israel’s national anthem sung in Hebrew - not Japanese - another low for this racist state
Israeli of the year award goes to Israeli - not Frenchman - is there no end to Israel’s racism?

There are hard left extremists who may be Jewish or have some kind of Jewish ancestry they assert as a shield against their support of antisemitic movements. Adored as tokens it’s cheque-mate if you engage with their “as a Jew” claims. Engage with them as the antisemites they are
And we don’t need to have any shyness or make any apology for putting up firewalls to protect our community from antisemites and Jews who’ve internalised antisemitism and gone over to assist of antisemites. They’re not fragile lost sheep. They’re antisemites.
I think our first responsibility is to protect the community - not to get bogged down in the icky fucked up psychology of those fringe Jews whose heads are screwed and help those who hurt us
