We are being told that we should separate Jewish people from #Jewish state of #Israel. The same people refuse to separate Muslims from Al Quida, ISIS, etc. who refuse to separate #Palestinians from #Hamas, Islamic Jihad, or separate progressive #left from China, Russia, et

> Their argument for the above is, all Muslims have same religion & sympathise with ISIS, Al-Quida objectives. They say #Palestinians elected #Hamas so they're all terrorists. They call left #Antisemitic for supporting #Palestinian struggle & opposing Israeli #apartheid system

> practiced in Israel & occupied territories, siege of #Gaza, continuous encroachment on Palestinian land, houses & religious sites by fundamentalist/ extremist Western #settlers. Furthermore, they dislike Left's opposition to sanctions on #Iran as it hurts ordinary people.

> Of course not all Israelis or Jewish people living in the west are to be blamed for Israeli violent aggression, it's wars, it's #WarCrimes . Furthermore, they aren't responsible for terroristic behavior of religiously zealot settlers like in this video.

> Anti Muslim bigotry or #Islamophobia, anti Palestinian propaganda and anti #Left rhetoric didn't come out of thin air. It came from well planned, heavily funded and influential propaganda machine. Machine that is methodical & influential. The machine is now using #Antisemitism

> to deligitmise protests & legitimise Israeli actions. It doesn't care who they work with & how they achieve their goals. They set up so called think tanks, set themselves up as extremism/ terrorism experts to influence govts while working with #farRight to incite hate & divide

> They suffocated debate about Israel & Palestine in our Universities terming it to be #antisemitic while hypocritically advocating for #FreedomOfSpeech They support oppressive schemes like prevent, de-radicalisation, etc. They invent scandals like so called Trojan horse.

> Over the weekend there were demonstrations up & down the country, Europe, US & in the world.
UK's biggest demonstration was in London.
Regrettably there were some unpleasant incidents one incidents being vile & misogynistic in nature. Met Police quickly caught the culprits

What we heard from @RobertJenrick was parroting Israeli propaganda & rhetoric of local lobby groups. These groups been calling demonstrations #Antisemitic & trying every mean to justify barbarity of Israeli

> No Muslim or a left leader ever tried to justify barbarity of ISIS, Russia or China the way #Israeli lobby justifies Israeli barbarity.
We know majority of the Jewish community is probably as appalled by the Israeli atrocities as majority of the British public.

They legitimise every #Israeli atrocity & #WarCrimes frm settlements, settler violence, #SiegeOfGaza to bombing of infrastructure & killing of children.
