I need to explain AGAIN what has been done to Jews for years via Corbyn and Loach. The Jewish community have been slandered & abused & depicted as liars for speaking out against the AS they’ve received. The most vile part of the bullying as been to defraud you the public…
the hard left held aloft fringe extremist Jews who share similar fundamentalist politics. They say “look we’re not antisemites. We love Jews.” Lots have been completely mugged off by this. You never embraced Blacks 4 Trump as proof he’s not a bigot but you did with us & Corbyn
With colonial arrogance the Loach left who aren’t Jewish constantly dictate who Jews are, what our identity is, speaking over us, telling lies. This is clear racism your spot in an instant for any other group but the world is used to thousands of years of literally owning Jews
Well you don’t own us. We are free and emancipated and yes Israel is a fundamental part of who we are. If you speak of the Jewish diaspora spread around the world where the fuck do you think we originally came from? We started somewhere and that is our indigenous homeland
Because Loach & the hard left lie about who we are they start to abuse us & tell more lies about us to try & erase our authentic identity & link to Israel. Because they fail to destroy Israel they grope for classic antisemitic conspiracies of Jewish power to explain their failure
The independent EHRC report declared Labour under Corbyn and because of Corbyn had discriminated against Jews. They have to discriminate against us because they won’t let us be our authentic selves as Jews & we won’t change for these bullies
Ken Loach - as well as creating a modern blood libel against Jews with the play Perdition has been and continues to be part of a scene that tries to smother Jewish mouths & stop them speaking their truth - and slanders us as liars when we are heard
He also flirts with Holocaust denial which puts him on a par with neo Nazis

As the @guardian continues their antisemitic game of contorting everything in existence to attack Israel, (in this instance perpetuating a libel of Jews as disease spreaders withholding vaccines), here are some other headlines I’ve written for them to keep up their sleeves:
Israel’s national anthem sung in Hebrew - not Japanese - another low for this racist state
Israeli of the year award goes to Israeli - not Frenchman - is there no end to Israel’s racism?

There are hard left extremists who may be Jewish or have some kind of Jewish ancestry they assert as a shield against their support of antisemitic movements. Adored as tokens it’s cheque-mate if you engage with their “as a Jew” claims. Engage with them as the antisemites they are
And we don’t need to have any shyness or make any apology for putting up firewalls to protect our community from antisemites and Jews who’ve internalised antisemitism and gone over to assist of antisemites. They’re not fragile lost sheep. They’re antisemites.
I think our first responsibility is to protect the community - not to get bogged down in the icky fucked up psychology of those fringe Jews whose heads are screwed and help those who hurt us

Hi @Sethrogen your work on Borat & Ali G helped influence my comedy. I went on to write Who Is America with SBC. I hope this thread might positively influence you to speak more to your Jewish cousins on other continents. Get in touch. Be nice to say hello
PS I know ur Canadian

This is how it can seem: not only have some American Jews seen their connection to Israel erode, they’ve also forgotten their connection to other diaspora Jews. They can sometimes appear like our worst perception of Americans, ignorant of the rest of the world & uninterested
With a US-centric outlook they often assert what life is like for “the Jews”, believing their experience IS the default Jewish experience. But it’s not the case. Please look to & speak more to your cousins abroad whose reality past & present isn’t like that of American Jews:

Doing the right thing shouldn’t be transactional. We should oppose anti-black racism. Jews who say “if we don’t stand up for black lives we can’t expect solidarity in return” make me cringe. We should oppose racism even if the “favour” isn’t returned. But on a deeper level...
...it speaks of a soul degraded by antisemitism. It speaks of a hurt soul, ostracised by an antisemitic world, & which wrongly believes that the right set of Jewish actions made visible to the world will finally lead to that mythical cuddle of acceptance...
How many other ethnic groups reflexively articulate that they must pass a test in order to expect dignity & friendship when hard times come their way? I wonder if there’s any test we can successfully “pass”? Antisemitism isn’t a test for Jews to pass. It’s a test antisemites fail

This is the real barrier to ME peace. This culture of Jew hate. It’s far easier to redraw a line on a map or to relocate a town than it is to shift an inner world of hate so ideologically entrenched. But challenging hateful intent is the real necessary work that can’t be avoided
In 2005 Israel disengaged entirely from Gaza. There isn’t a single Jew there. Thousands of Jews were relocated yet Israel was still met with rockets & death tunnels. The barrier to peace is not Israeli action - it’s murderous intent from Israel’s neighbours.
Nothing will change unless the world stands up robustly to that intent, stops turning a blind eye to it and stops indulging in a fantasy that it will somehow dissipate of its own accord further down the line.

Not seen the @Baddiel Holocaust denial documentary yet but will say this:

The Holocaust is the most meticulously documented crime in history - not least by the actual perpetrators of the genocide - the Nazis

There is no crime that has been studied & researched in more detail 1/
To deny the Holocaust is not only an assault on the memory of six million Jews and others who were murdered - but it comes down to the question of whether we are going to live in a world where facts and anything approaching truth can be reached with any kind of consensus 2/
It gets down to the crunch of whether we can live in a world where there is something such as knowledge - or whether we live in a universe where conspiracy theorists reign supreme & where we share no common ideas and no certainty over anything with each other 3/
