Solidarity with @GemBolton ♥️

She is getting beef from the Jewish Chronicle for saying something so obviously true: Israel is an Apartheid State
"Israel is an Apartheid State" is not antisemitic for several obvious reasons:
(1) it doesn't express hostility towards Jews at all
(2) it is clearly true
(3) it isn't about Jews at all
(4) lots of Jews say it all the time
The Jewish Chronicle thinks it can lecture South African civil society about Apartheid 🤣🤣🤣

. @lmharpin is a racist hack and he knows it.

Manipulating Jewish fears to shelter an Apartheid State 🤮

The 2002 Rome Statute of the ICC defines the Crime of Apartheid in clear and succinct language.

Anyone wanting to accuse (or defend) Israel of it would benefit from giving it a quick read.

(cn: crimes against humanity, violence, sexual violence)

[1/9]
The 'crime of apartheid' means inhumane acts of a character similar to those referred to in paragraph 1, committed in the context of an institutionalised regime of systematic oppression and domination...

[2/9]
...by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime.

[3/9]

The most obvious one is that Palestinian and Israeli civilians living in Area C are governed by 2 seperate Israel-run legal systems.

Israeli Settlers are tried in the Israeli Civil Court system.
Palestinians are tried in Israeli Military Courts.

Separate and unequal!
Worth noting that "one apartheid policy" is a vague framing.

Apartheid, as defined by the 2002 Rome Statute, is "policies and practices", "inhumane acts" [note the plural] "committed for the purpose of establishing... domination by one racial group" [a system-wide definition]
Here is a neat little article explaining the difference + a helpful infographic!

Save our shul: Margate campaign to raise £400k

Target is to preserve 'beautiful building' in dwindling community for religious gatherings and wider cultural activities!
A campaign has been launched to save Margate Synagogue in Cliftonville, which has been put up for sale by the dwindling Orthodox community after it decided it could no longer manage the building.
To avoid the site being demolished or converted into flats, the campaign needs to raise around £400k. The idea is to maintain the building as a communal venue with hopes it can be used for both religious pursuits and cultural activities, servicing the town’s blossoming arts scene

On 7th September, 56 academics wrote to Facebook warning against adopting the IHRA Working-Definition of Antisemitism.

These are respected scholars in the study of antisemitism, Jewish history and the I/P conflict. It is an important intervention and so we post it here in full.
We, scholars specialized in antisemitism Jewish&Holocaust history & the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, are writing to you with regard to Facebooks policy & efforts to ban antisemitic content from your platform, as part of your companys wider struggle against hate speech & bigotry.
We are deeply concerned about the rise in antisemitism around the world. Antisemitism and all other forms of racism and bigotry pose a serious threat that must be fought most forcefully. We commend Facebook’s efforts in this regard and encourage you to intensify them.

Good morning Khaverim 🌄

To get you all ready for the day ahead, we're going to play a game called "Who Said It, Hitler or Herzl?"

(Game idea shamelessly stolen from @the_minyan)
We're going to post quotations from either Adolf Hitler or Theodore Herzl and will have to guess Who Said It?

We have edited the pronouns in the quotation which would have otherwise given the game away.
1. Let sovereignty be granted us over a portion of the earth's surface large enough to satisfy our rightful requirements as a nation. The rest we shall manage for ourselves.
