Thanks to Boris Johnson, Keir Starmer & Lisa Nandy for condemning antisemitic abuse. Thanks to Ed Davey for his Shavuot wishes. Watcha Caroline! How ya doing?
I expect Mr Corbyn will be along in a minute.
Sorry, it's Sian Berry who's the Green Party leader. For her tweet against antisemitic racism, she's chosen to retweet Aaron Bastani.
I'm sure Mr Corbyn will get round to it but he's terribly busy at the moment making speeches in support of -Hamas, it seems to me, though he would say 'Palestinians' in that breathy, reverent way he has. He doesn't sniff when making speeches. Sniffing is a tic, for interviews.
JVL say they've heard the anti Jewish drivers with Palestinian flags in Finchley Road may be 'fake'.

1/Combined with the mainstreaming of Jew hate (something I've never seen before in the UK), biased reporting against Israel, which occurs sometimes, NOT always, manages to fan the flames. I certainly don't want to say everything Israel does is right, but the ready demonization...
2/....thrives on reportage which shows Israeli combatants & Gazan civilians but never the reverse; says 'Israel bombarded' & 'Rockets landed' (how do rockets DO that?); says 'Israel CLAIMS' but repeats Hamas announcements as fact; suggests roads in Jerusalem are a land grab...
3/ Speaks of Jerusalem, Israel's capital, as 'occupied' & delegitimizes even the1948 borders, let alone the1967 borders, gained in a war which was more defensive than conquest. Now I don't want my safety in England to depend on being able to justify Israel's every move...
#BBCnews said that Jeremy Bowen was reporting from #Sderot. We saw Gaza. Bowen spoke about the bombardment of Gaza and showed some rubble. He hasn't mention Sderot.
'That was Jeremy Bowen - from Jerusalem,' said the news anchor.
Bowen said that Israel shows off about Iron Dome and that more die in Gaza than in Israel. Hamas hasn't worked on any defensive infrastructure, such as shelters, except for their tunnels for Hamas operatives.
Another favour to ask. 'Recognising Jeremy Corbyn's Dedication to a Just Society' displays a photo of E Thornberry wth Jews, 2nd one today, & of course the comrades are outraged. It's a public forum on FB & I don't want to look at it again tonight. Will someone else keep an eye?
I looked. 'My gorge rises at it.'
They are proper neonazis now. Even I didn't see this coming when Corbyn rose from back bench obscurity into the btight light of leadership.
I would like to point out that those in the thread who replied to this said that the comrades' comments about Margaret Hodge were appropriate. To be fair to them, it's likely that they didn't read them.
Here's an example, from one of the many, many threads about Matgaret Hodge, on Corbynist social media. The ugliness of the attacks on her is well-known but still, the Corbynists feel that it's acceptable.
After this, I'm not enlarging any more of the screen shots from this blog post. It's all there in: neviimtovim.com/2020/12/10/292…
If there are any Jewish people involved in the JVL Facebook page, do you think it's their kindly disposition which makes them tolerate followers like Barry Wesson? I wouldn't, I can tell you.
