.@thetimes book review legitimises an antisemitic conspiracy theory by Avi Shlaim, which blames Jews themselves for the Farhud and other manifestations of antisemitism in 1940s-50s Iraq Image @thetimes Any Iraqi who believed there was "Jewish complicity" in the British/Anglo invasion of Iraq in 1941 was, by definition, anti-Semitic

The award for most egregiously inaccurate British media headline about Palestinian rioting at the Temple Mount early this morning - following Hamas incitement - goes to @MailOnline

It's like Hamas hacked into the DM's computers and wrote the headline themselves

h/t @RoleMarks Image @MailOnline @RoleMarks What really occurred is that dozens of masked Palestinians barricaded themselves inside the mosque with fireworks, clubs and rocks following evening prayers, while locking the doors and placing barricades at the entrances.

.@guardian's charge that there’s been an "erosion" of Palestinians from Jerusalem over the years is contradicted by open source population data camera-uk.org/2023/04/03/gua… @guardian The proportion of Palestinians and Jews in east Jerusalem has remained fairly steady over the last 40 years – at a 3:2 ratio Image

.@siancain @guardian You got this terribly wrong.

As the quote in your article correctly notes, @m7mdkurd literally accused Israel of harvesting the organs of dead Palestinians and "feeding" them to their own soldiers - a vile, medieval antisemitic charge.

1/3 @siancain @guardian @m7mdkurd You then legitmise that monstorous accusation by comparing it to something entirely different - a 2009 article about a long abandoned Israeli medical practice of using the corneas of deceased Israelis and Palestinians w/o permission.

.@rogerboyes In your column, you write about Jenin in 2002: "Palestinians put the death toll at 500 talked of mass graves [with] 1000s more. Later those figures were revised down"

They weren't just "revised down" a bit. Confirmed death toll was 52 Pals + 23 Israelis killed

1/2
@rogerboyes The UN confirmed this

Here are a few things the new Palestine correspondent for @thenation has said/tweeted - source to follow.

1. On Twitter he referred to Zionism as a “death cult“, and praised as eloquent a video by the late Kwame Ture where he called Zionism “Satanic“. @thenation 2. On Twitter, he complained that it’s “psychotic” to ask Palestinians to refrain from violence.

.@thetimes erroneously claims that #BDS is only detested by Israel and "the American right" bit.ly/2UxgF4n @thetimes Their journalist omitted the views of diaspora Jews.

A major EU poll of European Jews (including Britons) conducted in 2018 showed “82% of Jews classed calls by non-Jews to boycott Israel or Israelis as anti-Semitic”. bit.ly/3eBQb8F

Bottom line upon reading 3 @guardian articles on this row: the nations who spied on the journalists are: UAE, Azerbaijan, Rawanda, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Hungary, India, Morocco & Mexico.

Israel is NOT among the nations accused of spying on them

So the story is NOT about Israel @guardian Yet, strangely - or, we should say, naturally - the Guardian only tagged one nation at the bottom of the article: Yes, Israel!

.@mattfrei Your comments that Gaza "was bombed back to the Middle Ages" has no relation to reality, and is pure hyperbole - something you'd expect from pro-Palestinian propaganda sites, not a serious journalist. @mattfrei If you want to liken something to the "Middle Ages", perhaps talk about the crude medieval antisemitism of Hamas

Collier's research reveals that, of approximately sixty anti-Israel demonstrators at the Glasgow match, at least forty had previously engaged in antisemitism and/or support for terror. Collier asks: If the KKK turned up in such concentration levels for a demonstration, would anyone, anywhere, describe that demo as anything but racist? bit.ly/2F29lG8

Read this interview w/ Wiley in @TheVoiceNews (A British black newspaper) for yourself, but we come away with this:

Wiley continues to accuse Jews of controlling and exploiting Black artists, likening it to a form of modern slavery

The interviewer seems sympathetic to his views @TheVoiceNews The tweet disappeared, but the article is still up bit.ly/3jNBKiK

Here's our post from 2013 in response to the charge of #JewishPrivilege in part by listing the the daily effects of non-Jewish privilege. bit.ly/2CvGF6E

1. You likely don’t have your people’s right to national self-determination questioned or characterised as racist. 2. You are not accused of being more loyal to a foreign state than to the interests of your own nation.
