After over a decade working against antisemitism here's 10 thoughts about Jew hatred.

1. Zionism was a response to antisemitism, If there were no antisemitism there'd be no Zionism. 2. Zionism was a minority Jewish movement. Secular Jews preferred to put their faith in their brothers and sisters in the workers movement to build a utopian heaven.

It's not that Jews changed their minds during the Holocaust it's that Jews were murdered during the Holocaust and no one who was left fancied living with the murderers.

Thread about a 1944 massacre of American Prisoners of War by the SS and a Jew from Vienna called Willy Perl.

Dec 17, 1944, the 1st SS Panzer Regiment captured 113 American soldiers and machine-gunned them in a field. 84 American POWs were killed, some survived.🧵 Their bodies would remain in the field where they were massacred until mid-January '45 when American war crimes investigators recovered their remains and gathered evidence, news trickled out to American soldiers and to the American public via survivors.

People have been asking me about whether people are facing consequences for antisemitism. Let's take a look 🧵

This man was arrested before the demonstration even started last week apparently due to the antisemitic banner he was waving This woman is being investigated by Police according to the Daily Mail. The image of a swastika intertwined with a Magen Dovid is one that has a bit of a history on the antisemitic left and Police seem to have realised that.

Isaac Deutscher passed away in 1967 depriving us of a Jew whose life bridged the Jewish world pre and post Nazis.

He grew up an orthodox Jew in Poland and died a Marxist 'non-Jewish Jew' in Rome.

Some quotes: "The world has compelled the Jew to embrace the nation - state and to make of it his pride and hope just at a time when there is little or no hope left in it . You cannot blame the Jews for this ; you must blame the world."

In 1939 as the clouds of war loomed, in fact as Nazi Germany was creating its justification for invading Poland the World Zionist Congress met in Geneva. Distributed at the event was a memorandum to delegates the contents of which may surprise people... "Today's need, without which we face only bloody self-destruction, is Arab-Jewish cooperation. It cannot be "impractical." It is necessary for our life."

This raises interesting questions about justice in the wake of the Holocaust and how Jews were often treated more harshly than their Nazi tormentors. 🧵

There were Jews who were used by the Gestapo in WWII to lure Jews out of hiding in order to send them to the camps. These were Jews who were compelled to work with the Nazis or die at their hands. Often they were also financially rewarded in a grim carrot and stick approach.

This month marks 20 years since I joined the @IDF. It's a period of my life where I put personal wellbeing to one side and became, effectively, an instrument of govt policy. I saw everything from the ground floor, the perspective of a grunt.

Some thoughts 20 years on... I worked mainly in Nablus and Balata areas but also operated in the Jenin area. The IDF basically spent the 2nd Intifada forcing the lid back on the pressure cooker of Palestinian rage against Israel. During training I couldn't wait for the privilege of being sent on operations.

Stunned that @Amnesty platformed Miko Peled in Geneva. Peled has attended a conspiracy conference in Tehran where he sat next to a German NAZI & spoke to Holocaust denier Nick Kollerstrom's KT group in London.

What does it take to convince Amnesty to see antisemitism? What more do I need to do than show him sitting at an antisemitic conspiracy conference in Tehran next to a German Nazi to convince @amnesty's Philip Luther not to share a platform with Peled?

The Gen Sec of Amnesty Intl discussing "accusations of being antisemitic it's really a way of silencing us". This matters because "there were the Holocaust...because Jews are dying, they died in the United States...when they do that they don't tackle antisemitism that kills" Jews are also being murdered by antisemites in Tel Aviv and shelled by them in the South of Israel (mostly)

Purely coincidentally Amnesty UK has been found to be institutionally racist amnesty.org.uk/amnesty-uk-rac…

This December 1947 House of Commons debate on Palestine is extraordinary.

Come along friends as I regale you with the words of MPs you've never heard of but who guided us thru turbulent historical events like the partition of Palestine...

hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/1947-1… Note these comments from Jewish Independent MP Daniel Lipson where he praises the British Empire for facilitating the growth of the Jewish populace at a time when GB was the shame of the world for sending illegal Jewish immigrants back to Germany. He is rebutted with 6 words:
