The European Jewish minorities parted company with the left, starting several decades back. The real mystery is why anyone, in Britain specifically, still thinks they have something in common.

The essential ethical issue here is whether there *ought* to be trans people.

Leaving the individual aside, this whole issue needs to be taken seriously.

Logically, it is easier to consider the question of gay men. If there is a single genetic factor, then at some point there might be a 'non-gay treatment'. What are the ethics of that?

The article does add a long list at the end, but the interviews with 'Amanda' and 'Laura' do give an indication of what is going wrong. They are self-isolating, and that does seem to be the norm for Europe's Jewish minorities.

I don't live in the UK, and the Jewish population is smaller here, but extraterritorial status is a possible option in Amsterdam, although it only makes sense if Israel can station troops to protect synagogues and Jewish schools.

There is no fascism without a fascist party - a viable fascist party with substantial support.

If there is no fascist party or movement, then you can have a dictatorship, but not fascism.

I would guess, from your tone, that you are highly sceptical of biological explanations for right-wing attitudes.

No-one is born into an ethnic identity. Babies can't adopt a group identity. Most people probably do that as teenagers, by which time it is a conscious choice.

Antisemitism is not a force of nature, but it is a reaction, and in that sense it is a permanent reality for the Jewish people.

Every incident at a Jewish organisation in Europe provokes the same response: pre-emptive denials of an accusation which was usually never uttered in the first place.

Being Jewish is not morally neutral, and being Jewish is subject to moral judgement, like any other ethnic or national identity.

TWeet from Eva Vlaardingerbrock: "This is a dark day in European history."

Fash squad really taking the Hungary news well.

Because you said that a Jewish state could have absorbed all Europe's Jews in 1939. You are arguing in circles, which is an indication of AI authorship.

Mass migration of 9 million Jews to Palestine in 1939 would have been completely impossible, and even if they had got there, they would have starved. The 'Holocaust rescue' is a fantasy scenario, which cannot justify Israel's existence.

This is bad-faith disinformation. Palestine could not have absorbed the Jewish population of Europe in 1939, even if there had been a Jewish state there.

1939 Palestine could in no way sustain a sudden 900% increase in its population. This argument is bad-faith disinformation.

The issue is not the admission of Hungary, but the EU's failure to stop Viktor Orbán, from seizing control of the Hungarian state.

If the Jews of Europe had fled in 1939, to a Jewish state in Palestine, they would simply have starved, since there was no way the territory could absorb them. This type of argument is bad-faith disinformation.

From the behaviour of Jewish medical and paramedical organisations in Israel, we can draw legitimate inferences about the behaviour of Jewish medical and paramedical organisations in western countries.

That's the point. The original poster (Sam Freedman) said several times that this Jewish organisation 'helps everybody', and others have also said that. Obviously, they don't 'help everybody', they select - which is what you would expect, given the long history of segregated care in Europe.

And obviously there will be examples from Israel, of how Jewish health services operate in practice.

I don't oppose segregated health services, which were historically common in Europe, but obviously the whole point is to prioritise one group and its values. We all know that a Jewish ambulance service would not help injured civilians in Gaza, let alone wounded Hamas fighters.

Career politicians isolate themselves from the general population, often starting as teenagers when they first got involved in politics. They talk only to other members of the general political elite, which includes political journalists.

They don't meet a variety of people, not in any large western democracy. Many have not talked to an 'ordinary person' since secondary school. Living in a bubble is an essential aspect of being a modern politician.

Politicians are bad people, and being a politician should be discouraged. Paying them at minimum wage is a useful strategy.

In Europe, there is no 'LGBTQ' community, and its five alleged members never had any common interest. What are now self-labelling as 'LGBTQ organisations' have typically been led by gay men, sometimes for decades. Time to abandon this useless fiction of community.

All Jewish minorities in western Europe support the general military strategy of Israel since its independence, considering it essential to the state's survival.

It's hard because it's impossible. The Israeli government flatly rejects any accusation of genocide and calls it antisemitic.

So no, you can't avoid being antisemitic, if you condemn Israeli genocide.

The Jewish people has an inherent tendency to claim autonomy, territory, and sovereignty - because all peoples and nations do that. 'Zionism' is simply the name given to the Jewish national movement, the political voice of the Jewish people.
