Brilliant bit of trolling by Zizek and his @Independent editors. Level the ugly claim that Jews dishonestly cry antisemitism to silence critique of Israel; toss in "the trouble with Jews today” line; wait for Jews to call out that bigoted passage; say they've proved your point.
@Independent Kind of helps you understand the term "Jew baiting."
@Independent That's all beside the fact that the piece is incoherent: ukmediawatch.org/2019/12/04/ind…
@Independent That "trouble with Jews today" sentence is so egregious that one almost doesn't notice the continuation, the antisemitic act of denying Jewish history by pretending Jews have no roots in the Holy Land… not even during the past "thousands of years" (?!).

A NY Times Guide on How to defend Islamic Jihad:
1) In two subsequent articles on two subsequent days, refrain from directly calling the terror group a terror group—even though you call other terror groups terror groups.

2) In those two articles, refrain even from noting that Islamic Jihad is widely designated internationally as a terror group, including by the EU, Canada, UK, New Zealand, Australia, United States, and Israel.
blog.camera.org/2019/11/ny_tim…
3) In a subsequent (3rd) article, open by casting Islamic Jihad, known for sending bombers into cafes, buses, and markets to blow up Jewish men, women and children, as feisty little fighters— "a nettlesome, unruly and heavily armed little group called Palestinian Islamic Jihad."

What's the deal with with Jeremy Corbyn? For those who haven't followed the story, here's why so many people, and especially Jews, are concerned about the man who presided over the Labour antisemitism crisis. [A thread based on camera.org/article/jeremy…]
2/ Let's begin in January 2006—it's not the very beginning, but still a very good place to start. Not for the first time, Corbyn then campaigned for the release of two convicted terrorists who who set off a bomb at a London building HOUSING JEWISH CHARITIES and at the IL embassy.
3/ In 2009, #Corbyn warmly called Hezbollah "friends," described them as committed to "peace, social justice, and political justice," and called on people to support them. Hezbollah, a proscribed terror organization, inter alia had BOMBED AN ARGENTINA JEWISH CENTER, killing 85.

I hope this goes without saying, but here it goes.

It's wrong and unprincipled to ignore, dismiss, or minimize past antisemitism by a @nytimes editor, or to treat it differently than you'd treat past racism by any other journalists, just because it was highlighted by Breitbart.
If you're not sure how to feel about this specific tweet, it might help to imagine it as a white person referring to black people, or a reference to Pride month.
It might also help to realize that the author of the tweet admits it is offensive.

*Mega Thread* containing over 125 elected antisemitic @uklabour officials

Labour was an anti-racist political party but then @jeremycorbyn became leader with his garbled world view of Israel, and like many of his fans, he can't differentiate from anti-Israel views & antisemitism
1: People like ALAN BULL a Holocaust denier were protected by @jeremycorbyn's inner circle because they thought he might stand a chance of winning a marginal seat

NB: his partner is now a councillor in Peterborough
2: ALAN MYERS @Uklabour council candidate was suspended for stating:"if you say anything against them they cry antisemitism & harp back to the holocaust to curry sympathy"

Has he been expelled from Labour for this form of Holocaust revisionism? Who knows? thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/15250825.…

THREAD: Is #antisemitism a trick?

1/ The video of Israeli politician Shulamit Aloni describing allegations of antisemitism as a 'trick' used to silence critics of Israel is often cited in exchanges about Jew-hatred in the Labour Party. But does it shed any light on the matter?
2/ In the 2002 interview, the former government minister was asked by Amy Goodman: "Often when there is dissent expressed in the United States against policies of the Israeli government, people here are called antisemitic. What is your response to that as an Israeli Jew?"
3/ Aloni replied "Well, it's a trick, we always use it. When from Europe somebody is criticising Israel, then we bring up the Holocaust. When in this country [the US] people are criticising Israel, then they are antisemitic." (See the whole interview at democracynow.org/2002/8/14/isra….)

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

Holocaust denial in the Labour Party? John Pocock, who says he's a @UKLabour member in Rossendale & Darwen, reckons that the only #antisemitism in the party comes from its Jewish members. /1
He wrote that in response to one of those 'show me the evidence' posts, so popular last summer, where Labour members express their puzzlement or cynicism about the motives of those raising concerns about antisemitism in the party. /2
Most comments followed the usual pattern of bewilderment, denialism and conspiracy theories - orchestrated claptrap, criticising Israel isn't antisemitic, etc. John Pocock's contribution seemed to go further but still earned seven 'likes', including from the original poster. /3

I’m an avid history geek 🤓 and I got this idea from @GippersChutzpah!
My follower count is currently stuck in the mid ages. I’ll tweet some Jewish history milestones from along the years, according to my follower count. So come on, I’m 4 followers short of the first story...
On 13/12/1204, Moshe Ben Maimon AKA #Maimonides (Greek) and Ha’Rambam (Hebrew), died at 69 in Egypt.
A Philosopher, Physician, Astronomer and one of most important #Jewish Scholars of all times.
Buried in Tiberias @Israel, upon final request to be buried in the ancient homeland
WOW! 3 followers away from yet another milestone of #JewishHistory!
So far we learned about some pogroms 😠(1171 France, 1190 England) and Maïmōnídēs dying 😢(1204 Egypt).
JewishHistory is filled with sorrow and darkness but it gets better in the 2nd half of the 20th century 😉

#thread on @UKLabour NEC Code Conduct on #Antisemitism showing how opposition to it is wrong. Links from Dr Brian Klug, Moran Mandelbaum, David Feldman, Josh Nathan Kazis on Kenneth Stern, Rhea Wolfson, Jennie Formby and Jo Lansman
Firstly this is the NEC code here. Please read. It covers conspiracy theory antisemitism, the 'socialism of fools' and antisemitism masquerading as criticism of Israel. These are the issues that have crept into Labour from the conspiracy theory fringes. thejc.com/comment/analys…
Jon Lansman @jonlansman states the new code is "Labour’s antisemitism code is the gold standard for political parties .. The new code makes clear that discrimination against Jewish people is unacceptable while allowing for legitimate criticism of Israel " theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
