For anyone who's wondering about this, particularly in the UK: yes, do email or message your Jewish friends with a word of support. It makes a huge amount of difference.

It looks bad for Rowley. In denial about institutional racism and misogyny & it takes undercover journalists to get him to acknowledge the problem. Asleep at the wheel

It was enormously encouraging to hear Starmer taking the fight to Reform and calling out Farage for the scumbag he is

Re Charlie Kirk it is possible to believe that political violence is always wrong and also that some people bring the violence upon themselves through their own violent rhetoric. In other words it is possible to hold more than one thought in one’s head at the same time.

Letter of the day (in the Times)

Totally agree

Palestine Action protest arrests rise to more than 500 Police say the majority of arrests were for displaying placards in support of the banned group.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... What a disgrace. The law is an ass. Yvette Cooper is an ass. The Met Police are a bunch of asses

Police arrest 365 people at protest over Palestine Action ban in London Met officers and other UK forces form ‘significant presence’ in largest protest since group was proscribed as terrorist organisation

What has been happening in Gaza has always been genocide and it’s good more people are coming around to that brutal reality but it also needs to be noted that those who have spending the last two and half years attacking anyone correctly calling it a genocide can never be trusted again.

Israel committing genocide in Gaza, say Israel-based human rights groups Reports detailing killing of children and elderly, forced displacement and starvation likely to add to pressure for action * Middle East crisis – live updates Two leading human rights organisations based in Israel, B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights, say Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and the country’s western allies have a legal and moral duty to stop it. In reports published on Monday, the two groups said Israel had targeted civilians in Gaza only because of their identity as Palestinians over nearly two years of war, causing severe and in some cases irreparable damage to Palestinian society.

Good. The UK should follow suit. This is a move that as a Jew I support. I would like to hear the British Jewish community doing likewise. The days of reflex support for Israeli policy are over.

It’s chilling, but also a reminder that there are some very stupid people working in the police force

Me too.

Not self-defence. Not even collateral damage. Collective punishment. In other words, revenge…

Astonished to find myself agreeing with Lord Sumption but every word of this, on Gaza, from the @NewStatesman’s front page, is powerfully, painfully true.

Totally agree. Arrogant and entitled

On the eve of the publication of the NHS 10 year plan this remains my opinion

Dear presenter, please don't read out your slides. In fact, please don't present slides

Five members of biggest British Jewish body suspended over Israel criticisms Elected representatives of Board of Deputies were among signatories of open letter objecting to actions in Gaza Strip

We should be doing this in the UK too

Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH.

Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH.

HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH.

99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH.
