Imagine a white comedian, in a regional venue asking if there are any Londoners in the audience, and that when a black individual shouts out that he lives in Brixton, she laughs for 20 seconds before asking if there are any real londoners. This is National Front level racism.
To understand the conflict in the Middle East, the first thing to understand is that Palestinian nationalism is not primarily interested in achieving national indeoendence- its goal is to defeat Zionism. Peace alongside Israel is not success it's an admission of historic defeat

How can an intelligent person hold that the side in the conflict who has always accepted a two state solution is more responsible for its absence than the side who have explicity rejected it every time it was offered? Its literally insane.

So because Jews survived ethnic cleansing and genocide in Europe, Jews should lose the right to self-determination in their ancestral homeland where they are the majority of the population and have lived for 4000 years?
Our right to our land has nothing to do with the Holocaust.

what would your security forces do with people wear shoes in a mosque and bring stones to throw at police and citizens? Asking for a mutual friend.

As a Jew, I am increasingly concerned that some of my brethren are cowards who, having seen the backlash against Stephen Fry, will say anything in order to avoid social ostracism from their non-Jewish media colleagues and friends whose bias against Israel is well known.
As a Jew, I have become increasingly worried that the charge of antisemitism is being levelled to silence legitimate and important debate. Antisemitism is on the rise, but there is also a rise in the unscrupulous use of the term to silence reasonable questions about the Israeli…

This is incredibly dishonest. Palestinian Arabs have been launching unprovoked attacks against their Jewish neighbours since the 1920s. The "occupation" is consequence of Arab violence not the cause of it.

1) There are dozens of Christian countries where Christians are free to practice their faith.

They could well have been killed by Hamas. Over 300 Hamas rockets have landed on their own people. Whether its by firing rockets which land on Palestinians or by using them as human shields, Hamas is murdering its own people.
Eddie, thank you so much for using your public platform to defend the Jewish community and stand up to hate while so many in your industry have eother fanned the flames or bowed to the mob for the sake of their career. You are a truly good person and an example to us all.
I’m proud and honoured to be one of many who received this beautiful gesture from the Jewish community in the UK. A tree has been planted in Israel, in each of our names in recognition for our contribution to the fight against anti semitism. Thank you so much.
@Liz_Wheeler
This doesn't ban talking about Jesus, rather it bans prosletyzing. After all the history of forced conversions, inqusitions, pogroms, etc maybe Christians could just agree to stop trying to make Jews abandon our heritage, at least in our own country.
The biggest obstacle to peace between Jews and Palestinian Arabs is that all major Palestinian political facions want to destroy Israel. Fatah- the moderates- have agreed to the compromise of doing so in stages.
Any analysis that ignores this reality is worthless.

My problem with this term is that it suggests Christianity to be a seamless transition from the Jewish tradition, rather than a dramatic departure from Jewish values. It is a term of Christian supremacy and replacement theology.

Having accepted that turning the clock back to 1947 is impossible, their next move is to demand the clock be turned back to 1949 and they are calling this compromise. This is no compromise its a demand for a do-over. Why does the world reward their aggression with support? 3/3

This is no different from showing a video of a black man mugging someone and claimning this is typical of all black people.
Only racists take the worst of a society/ethnicity/nation/race and frame this as representative or typical of the whole.

This is the Palestinian leadership's strategy for the last 74 years. Having utterly failed in their aim of strangling Israel at its birth, Palestinians spent years demanding they would accept nothing less than their original goal- genocide. 2/3

No you missed the history class about the origins of the Jewish people and the modern Israeli state. Most Israelis were either born in Israel or descend from people who never left the wider region.

@m7mdkurd
This is illogical nonsense. A municipality used its power of compulsory purchase- not genocide.
Nobody died- no death
Compulsory purchase is a power common in all democratic countries and the beneficiaries are Arab kids with special needs- So Nothing to do with Zionism.
This is what antisemitism looks like. Corbyn thinks Jews defending themselves and their property is a "disgraceful move". He sees no justification for Jewish self-defence because he doesn't see those who set fire to Jewish property as committing acts of aggression.
Disgraceful move by Naftali Bennett to commence his term with violence and not negotiation. Thousands of people have been left devastated, living among rubble following the recent spate of violence on Gaza. The bombing must immediately cease.
@stephenfry
This is as well written as it is lacking in originality and insight. The middle-east conflict has enough one-sided diatribes and this -even composed in fine prose- is just another myopic account, whose argument relies more on the ignorance of its readers than the force of logic.
@JamesCleverly
Every week tens, if not hundreds, of thousands march in London and call for a "global intifada", and "Jihad". What do you think they mean?
Threats of violence and intimidation against the Jewish community will not be tolerated.
I would like to thank the police officers involved for their swift action in Golders Green today.
Harvard backing down over Ken Roth is a travesty of academic values. Roth is not a fair-minded pursuer of truth, he is a propagandist. Granting him the academic imprimatur of Harvard on the back of his tantrum campaign says a great deal about the modern Western academic malaise.

Today Palestinian terrorists fired over 150 rockets and mortars at Israeli towns, villages and civilians. Seven rockets were fired at Jerusalem.
Before you condemn Israel for its response ask yourself what you would expect your govt to do if your capital city was under attack?
Zaka (burial society) volunteers in Israel have seens every inhuman horror;
beheaded babies,
whole families whose organs were removed while they were still alive,
a father and child who were set on fire while they were tied together until they melted into one body.

This is a reminder that two things can be true at the same time, even if they are being said by, or involve the same person.

2. Blackface is not funny or acceptable in the 21st century.
It's incredible that David Baddiel can say 'Jews Don't Count' with a straight face, that people take that thesis seriously, when his own career is testament to the fact that having a record antiblack racism isn't necessarily a barrier to success.

Tonight, I got caught in the middle of a pro-Palestinian march. The march supported "the resistance".
I believe in peace. Deeply and truly. But marching through the streets of London just two days after 800+ civilians were brutally massacred, 100+ kidnapped... I'm lost for words

This is a big lie. Palestinian Arabs violently attacked their Jewish neighbours and were explicit that they were doing so to compel the authorities to stop Jewish immigration.
@DaleVince
This is ike flying the Russian flag. Israel has been the victim of unprovoked aggression since 1948. There are security guards at every school, kindergarten, shopping mall and hospital in Israel becase these are the preferred targets of those you champion.

The conflict there has all the same ingredients as the one in Ukraine - invasion, occupation, murder of civilians, destruction of homes and hospitals - and sieges.
