The fact that this antisemitic special rapporteur recently had her contract renewed should tell you everything you need to know about the UN.

I'm tired of people lying about a Genocide that didn't happen in Gaza.

I'm tired of people ignoring other Genocides that ACTUALLY HAPPENED in other parts of the world. (Artsakh anyone??)

I'm tired of posters, particularly on this website, attacking Jews just because they're Jews.

Izabella Tabarovsky had her "lightbulb moment" about contemporary antisemitism when she had been living in the US for 28 years but was suddenly plunged back to her tough upbringing in the Soviet Union. It was 2018, and she saw an anti-Israel campus protest on television. "The students were holding placards saying "Zionism is racism', 'Apartheid state', and all the other slogans to which we have become so accustomed. "I had been writing about the Holocaust in the USSR and had become used to thinking about antisemitism only in those terms. But something about the placards disturbed me - they had echoes that I couldn't quite place. I called my father and asked for his thoughts. "He just burst out laughing and that's when I realised that I had seen all this before when I was growing up in the USSR. Two immediate questions formed in my mind. The USSR had collapsed long ago so why was this happening now? And how had it got here, this language from my old world? 'The language hadn't been reinvented. It had come straight from my old world." She came to London to conduct research into the left-wing press of yesteryear. Before long, it became obvious that the anti-Zionist ideas she had seen on the campus protest in America had been been sown in newspapers and periodicals decades before.

Schools, struggling with parent and maybe even teacher groups who claim the Holocaust isn't real or "propaganda" or insist that any mention of genocide has to also mention Gaza, have chosen to go for the easy route and opt out altogether. It used to be said that people only love dead Jews - novelist Dara Horn has written a brilliant book on the subject - but now even the Holocaust victims are not immune from the modern incarnation of anti-Semitism. In truth, the Holocaust has become increasingly politicised for many years. HMD became watered down. First - and probably rightly - it included all the victims of the Nazis, including gay men, the Roma and Sinti gypsy groups, people with disabilities, and political enemies.

When Bristol MP, Damien Egan, who is Jewish, was prevented from visiting a local school after his appearance was cancelled due to "security reasons" , the local teaching union celebrated this as a great victory, calling it "a win for safeguarding, solidarity and the power of the NEU trade union staff group". While many unions are obsessed with the issue of Palestine, the National Education Union (NEU), Britain's biggest teaching union, takes things to a whole different level from the top down.

The persistent drumbeat of "anti-Zionism" turns quickly into overt bullying Jew hate on the campus, say some students. "In this hostile climate, many Jewish people only go on to university campus for their lectures," reveals Dov Forman, a third-year student who is also an activist against anti-Semitism. "I have Jewish friends who, even in this term, have left their student accommodation and gone back to live at home if they're from London, because of how kind of scared they feel. There's an Islamist and hard-left student bloc who are trying to terrorise Jewish students every single day." Forman continues: "Because Zionists are seen as inherently evil, Jews are too. Any Jewish student is fair game for these people. And if someone screams 'baby killer' at you, or 'From the river to the sea', the other students will stay silent. And I don't know if that is because they are scared or because they think it's fair game." The atmosphere of hostility permeates among some academics too. Jews are on the front line of a fight against Western values, says Joseph Mintz, a professor of inclusive education at UCL. There is this strain of progressive thinking which aligns with Islamism in its anti-Western positioning, and that sets a scene which makes anti-Semitism acceptable," he says. "In a way, universities are traducing the societies within which they're positioned. Anti-Semitism is one significant expression of that. We see this in UCL, but we see it across academia as a whole."| • A second Jewish professor, who asks not to be named, says: "I know that a lot of my colleagues don't agree with these extremist positions, but it's something they will only tell you in secret. There is literally no one who will come out publicly and say this is wrong."

Britain’s ‘godless’ university has become dogged by antisemitism:
Hostility at University College London shows no sign of abating, and extremist rhetoric is now rife in one of our elite institutions.

Primal Scream slammed for showing 'antisemitic' images at London gig The rock band, whose frontman Bobby Gillespie has long been an outspoken critic of Israel , showed images of a Jewish Star of David merged with a Swastika.

Antisemitism is cool again.

He’s not naive. He’s stupid.

This is transparently false: It never takes the worst people on the internet 24 hours to blame a horrific tragedy on a Jewish culprit. More like 24 minutes.

"What was 2025 like, grandpa?"

"The world was falling apart in many ways. Also, almost as gallingly, there were more people than ever who decided they didn't have time to read pieces of writing yet did have time to post opinions on what they'd imagined the pieces of writing they hadn't read said."

Calling for blood purity tests to prove Jewish existence. ALL JEWS ARE EQUALLY JEWS WHETHER BY BIRTH OR NATURALIZATION. Yes! Most Jews also share a direct bloodline connection to the Levantine populations who were there thousands of years ago. WE DO NOT PRACTICE BLOOD QUANTUM SO IT IS NOT RELEVANT.

Was AMAZING

Dave was filming a documentary about how he came up with the unique Kinks guitar sound. We had a lovely chat after, taking in teenage pregnancy and antisemitism among other things.
Sometimes DO meet your heroes

I was totally privileged today to meet the amazing @davedavieskinks and his amazing partner @rebeccagwilson.
I’ve been a Kinks fan all my life - not just because I’m a Muswell Hillbilly like them. I think they are the poets of London & some of their songs are among the most beautiful ever written.

I think the reason being an 'anti-zionist' has such a public relations problem is it seems to attract a lot of people who would traditionally be labelled as antisemites. So in that regard it's good to see Corbyn's new party tracking that misconception head-on.
