In the Epstein files, it's pretty clear that Laurence Krauss has been up to something too

I’m seeing a lot more movement behind the people of Sudan right now. Well done everyone. Keep going! It’s hard to comprehend the omnipresence of human suffering in the world right now. Whether it’s Sudan, Palestine, Myanmar or anywhere else. Just keep doing what you can and please donate!

Doctor in Sudan wins $1 million prize for his extraordinary courage: 'It is my duty' Dr. Jamal Eltaeb of Sudan has been awarded the Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity. He says, "Every day we work in the impossible conditions with barely enough to keep people alive."

Not all heroes wear capes. What a brave and compassionate human being. The war in Sudan has killed 150,000 people and displaced 12 million. This orthopedic surgeon has not fled but continued to provide medical assistance under impossible conditions.

Very, very true. With thanks to the wonderful Dutch.

David Olusoga, Nick Mohammed and Cat Burns on #TheTraitors are absolutely beautiful people. I am so glad Britain got to know them through this show. And Alan Carr is just a national treasure. The best of British on Britain's very best show. Perfect final. Loved every second of it. Well done BBC!

I’ve always been a politically nomadic Jew. But I also understand why some seek refuge in an ideology. I feel betrayed by the left’s virulent antisemitism too, despite not identifying as left-wing myself. But please don’t think the right are a safe harbour. They never have been, they never will be.

It’s a bit like people who believed in QAnon. There’s just no way to bridge the credulity gap. I just laugh them off these days.

Though some founders will work 70+ hours per week for literally no money. They have my absolute respect. He’s just unlikely to be one of those people given his near-constant online presence.

I’m not sure it’s fair to say Elon Musk is working at all. I’m sure he has talent and has worked hard at some point. But right now he seems to be working about as hard as an employed teenager bunking off school.

You can continue, even intensify your Palestinian advocacy. But please make sure others suffering in conflict benefit from your compassion and time.

It’s not that you need to advocate for Palestine and criticise Israel’s actions any less, it’s that the people of Sudan and Myanmar need you to advocate for them more. No one wants to see suffering people cynically pitted against one another. No one should ask you to do less.

Funniest thing is how, after endless scandals, Mandelson just keeps bouncing back.

okay, cool

People basically act as if antisemitism had been invented during the XXth century and is not this awful thing that has been thriving in Europe since the middle age if not earlier

Accusations of dishonesty, CAN be antisemitic. But only if it’s based on the Jewish identity of the person in question, and if the person in question isn’t a liar and a racist — which, with Miller, he appears to be both.

The problem is people don’t believe antisemitism exists. They’ve heard the same words, but nothing ever meets their narrow criteria. Even if it nearly word-for-word matches quotes from Mein Kampf. He’d get my vote too, but I would still be cautious with him.

Dutch centrist liberals under Jetten head for shock election win, exit poll says Rob Jetten's D66 party celebrates, two years after his party languished in fifth place in the last vote.

Too close to call atm, but keeping everything crossed for wonderful Netherlands here. Jetten has been incredibly impressive.

Sudan war: WHO chief hits out over reports of mass killings in el-Fasher hospital Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said he was "appalled" by reports that 460 civilians had been killed in el-Fasher.

Absolutely appalling in Sudan right now. 460 civilians killed in a hospital

AGNI: Village of Calamity a new horror game, where you play a bad-ass hijabi police officer. The game is a debut from Indonesian developer Separuh Interactive. I love seeing the gaming industry grow beyond just the usual few countries. This one looks great.

Yeah, I totally agree. That’s why we see scripture about this sort of thing. But each discuss much more widely the value of honesty. Bigots just use it to claim there’s some Jewish or Muslim conspiracy.

All the Abrahamic traditions (and I’m sure some outside) have some interpretation that you could argue says this. This accusation is mostly thrown at us Jews, but it’s equally sad to see it levelled at Muslims. It’s just trying to spread distrust and hatred.

Yeah it's a pretty desperate move. You have to ask two questions. Firstly, why would the Democrats sabotage their own candidate? Secondly, even if we were to accept his claim of sabotage, surely the sabotage is only possible because he got a Nazi tattoo and left himself vulnerable to sabotage?

Also, scrutiny is part of the democratic process. It should be applied to every candidate without preference for party. I think we can all agree that no one with a Nazi tattoo should be in office.

Yeah the real Jews one seems to be gaining some traction at the moment. The problem is people will trust revisionary history more than credible scholars because they believe all credible scholarship is tained by our big Jewish conspiracy.

People who support violence are not just anti-Israel, but anti-Palestine. Cheering on violence that doesn't impact them so they can see their favourite team win.

It's not difficult to understand. I'm not sure how people don't get this. Responding to a diasporic Jew's experience of antisemitism with "but Israel..." is obviously antisemitic. When people respond to Muslims with "but 9/11..." we rightly call that Islamophobic.

Mishal Husain is a phenomenal interviewer. She was persistent, but polite and patient. A lot of interviewers are much more aggressive than she was. That I think was what got him riled up. She was asking fair questions with genuine curiosity and he couldn't provide satisfactory answers.

IRL every Star Trek fan I know is very much on the left of politics and most of them are LGBT

Yeah, he represents the authoritarian left. He’s also just so Marxist in his thinking that he cannot understand any entity outside of the dynamic of power. So he ends up seeing brutal regimes as the good guy, because they’re ostensibly less powerful than his Western enemies.

To show the similarities, and they’ll sooner accept that maybe Hitler had a point than they will actually explore the possibility they have racial prejudice. Corbyn, like many, is an otherwise decent person with a big blind spot for anti-Jewish prejudice.
