An important note within the attacks against the Jewish community taking place right now, where grooming young people is seemingly a key part of their model. It shows that simply policing is not enough.

This headline reads a farce, and it is, but it is also a tragedy. There are likely over 100,000 people – one hundred thousand lives – that have prevented from being saved from war and persecution in each of these four years.

Jews have been standing against hate since Pharoah. Proud to be a part of this diverse community, city, and country.
We are community of migrants and a community totally reliant on migration to nourish and sustain us. When the Tories look at us, all they see is a political football. It's a tired routine we see through.
This antisemitic arson attack is pressure on an already open wound. And because of how news spreads, this will reverberate across the diaspora, making many Jewish communities feel unsafe, unstable, and alone.
The only way out of this is with our neighbours. Safety will come from community.
This is exactly what happened with refugees and migrants. There comes a point where public support flips after bonbardment. A shame no one listens when we say if you let the right win on migration, they will win on everything. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
The fact that Nick Timothy is still in the Shadow Cabinet shows Britain now has two major parties standing on a clear platform of hatred toward Muslims.

A Israeli brigade commander told Palestinians in the Jordan valley that the IDF plans to remove all Palestinians currently living in "Area C" - that's 60% of the West Bank - within a year.
IDF spokesperson was asked for comment and did not deny this.

And as @sabirzazai.bsky.social said elsewhere, "imagine spending a fraction of this to help people rebuild lives, integrate and make a contribution. We would all win."
"Let us administer the poison so that Reform doesn't get to" is morally wrong, politically disastrous, and totally ineffective.
In a world of political football where 'political courage' only means beating up the vulnerable - never caring for them - every minority group is fair game.
I’m not entirely sure what the strategic value of killing a man (if they have) in his 80s, on poor health, who’s spent decades preaching about the value of martyrdom. Especially when you’ve said you want to do negotiations again in within 36 hours. But maybe expecting any kind of plan is elitist.
250 days ago, the Israeli and Iranian militaries were bombing one another. Today, they are doing so once again. The reasons will not change, the lessons will not be learned, and the civilians will keep paying the price.
Make the far right miserable again 🤌
They should call him Matt Badloss
It's 100% this - voters are rejecting tired race-baiting on immigration and rejecting inauthentic politics. No one believes the Labour Party back their attacks on migrants, and they find that hypocrisy and inathenticity even more galling.
Strip away the 'edgy' rhetoric, and Reform are just offering the same tired ideas that successive governments have tried and failed with.
We deserve a real alternative that prioritises how we all grow and earn together.
🤌🤌🤌
"Nobody can recall anything he’s actually said ... How do you counter a narrative that people can’t remember? How do you rebut a vibe?"
Reform's agenda won’t just hurt migrants - it will entrench hardship for working-class communities of every background.
Record high child poverty is the direct result of the very austerity policies Reform’s cabinet pushed when they were in the Conservative Party.

The rule of only 1 Arsenal side doing well at a time continues
nostalgia is remembering when you didn’t have to pay bills and attributing that feeling to mario
REVEALED: Matt Goodwin, Reform UK’s candidate in the Gorton and Denton byelection, has been campaigning alongside racists and far-right activists in his bid to win the seat.

The sad truth is that many orgs & leaders have been primed for years for this.
They've been conditioned to think:
1. Jews are more uniquely in danger than others
2. Even if others are in danger, we must protect ourselves first
3. It's okay to work with fascists if they claim to be on your side
No one tell Sir Jim that he paid £1.3bn for a football team that only functions because of immigration.
Standing up to the far right is good, actually
One of the best things I’ve read in a while:
If politicians really cared about about Jewish life, this project would've been a nonstarter. London has no Jewish Museum, probably the largest Jewish diaspora community not to have one. Jews deserve to remembered for more than their darkest moments. Build a befitting museum, then we can talk.
This headline makes a mockery of both British Jews and for concept of asylum and safety. We are a community of refugees and those who welcomed them. We should all refuse to be a part of these games.
