Just getting back from today’s #SolidarityWithIsrael rally. Such a wonderful atmosphere with all the speakers talking of peace.

The total opposite of yesterday’s ‘hate fest’.

Yes, we might be smaller in numbers but when it comes to message, there’s no comparison
Huge thanks to Dalia, Steve, Paul at @ZionistFed for a remarkable effort. To all the speakers including @TzipiHotovely, @jonnysgoldstein, @BoDPres thank you. Your messages of peace and tolerance where heard loud and clear.
To all those that came to stand with us today, Jew and not, you showed that Israel still has many friends and we will not be bullied into silence. Your voices were heard today. You should all be very proud of yourselves

Am Yisrael Chai

Finally, to @CST_UK and @MetPoliceEvents, we are once again indebted to you for doing such a great job of keeping us safe.

This is a great headline @SkyNews, shame it’s not entirely true.
When he was asked directly if Israel has a right to exist he said “No...why, why”

Yes he says ‘ceasefire will hold for now’ but I’ve watched it twice and I can’t see where he says what headline suggests.
He clearly refuses any possibility of a 2SS.

He is asked ‘if he would share the land with Israeli Jews?”

Mumbles some non-answer

His peace doesn’t involve ‘justice for Palestinians’ as per your headline

Simply put, his ‘peace’ means the destruction of Israel.
Here's the full video. Please watch it and tell me where he says "Israel-Hamas ceasefire will hold for now but no peace with Israel without justice for Palestinians?"

Oh my. @bbcnews have just sunk to a new all time low with their report on Bethlehem. Why is it @bbclysedoucet that Christians are fleeing the area? You seem to have forgotten to mention that Christians are being persecuted by the PA, I can’t imagine why you omitted that?
As for the ‘Israelis call it a security barrier’ @bbclysedoucet, IT IS a security barrier! It has saved countless lives. Without it you’d be reporting on dead children blown up by suicide bombers.
Once again you totally fail to recognise nor inform your viewers that the ONLY place in the entire region where people of all faiths can practice their religion freely and openly is Israel. Shame on the lot of you.

A very personal thread but just feels like the time to say it

8 years ago when I first got heavily involved in pro-Israel advocacy following the antisemitic attacks on a local Israeli owned shop, I was often asked a single question
“Why don’t you you just go and live in Israel?”

My answer was always that I would go when I choose to not because I feel like I’ve been forced to.
I stand by that but recently it is becoming harder to believe that some time soon I might not be forced to leave.

Yesterday I saw a thread from @Real_M_Scott in which he had come to the hard decision that for the sake of his family he felt his only option was to leave the U.K.

THREAD!
The people of Peterborough (with considerable help from a larger number of MPs, many of whom we considered friends!) have just elected a highly divisive antisemite to represent them in Parliament. They didn’t do it without being fully aware of Forbes ramblings.
They must have been fully aware that Ms Forbes ‘liked’ a post claiming that Theresa May had a ‘Zionist Slave Master agenda’.

Enough people voted for Ms Forbes in the full understanding that she had ‘enjoyed’ reading a thread which claimed ISIS was created by the CIA and Mossad
The people of Peterborough decided voting for a woman who signed a letter that called on her bosses to REJECT the international recognised definition of antisemitism was absolutely fine.

This Sunday, we stand with Germany:

The response to rising Antisemitism should never be to hide our religious identity.

To hide is to lose.

In Germany, a warning has been issued advising against the wearing of kippot, the Jewish skull cap, in public.
This is simply unacceptable.

In response to this alarming development, German Antisemitism Commissioner Felix Klein has called on ALL Germans to don a kippot ahead of the annual anti-Israel hate fest, the ‘Al Quds Day’ rally, on Saturday.
In solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Germany and Jewish communities around the world, we are asking all attendees of Sundays '#AlQudsDay' counter-protest in London to do the same.

As a member of #Brighton/#Hove's small Jewish community I can tell you that there is something fundamentally wrong with our great city at present. Our community deserves more.
Time and time again these incidents happen here - in our home - and they do not happen without our community shaking their heads in disbelief.

"If you prick us do we not bleed?"
What is it about B&H now that seems to bring out the very worst in some?

What is it that makes some think they can use language they wouldn't dream of using with any other minority community?

Why are we - a comm. that has lived here for 250 years - now feeling so concerned?
