'Nineteen months into #Israel's SLAUGHTER of #Gaza's CHILDREN, moral GHOULS like #SimonSchama and #SimonSebagMontefiore are still being GIVEN a PLATFORM to SMEAR as 'antisemites' OPPONENTS of #Genocide!

Ended the day with #SimonSchama on #Bernini (courtesy of #BBCFour). The kind of television that is worth staying up for: intelligent, argumentative, informing. I'm all for non-shouty, non-blustering non-'vox pop' TV - a haven from our ridiculous, faux popular, populist times.

"Has the harassment & abuse of Jewish students been a serious problem, especially since October 7? Yes. Have anti-Zionist chants crossed a line into outright Jew-hatred?""

⚪ Schama, Freedland, Jacobson, The Chief Rabbi. Antizionism = antisemitism. QED.

“Auschwitz did not fall from the sky…#Evil comes step-by-step. You shouldn’t be indifferent...” Marian Turski, #HolocaustSurvivor via @PBS #SimonSchama Turski’s words are a reminder & clarion call!

#SimonSchama historian :The holocaust impact across Europe on #WQED..

How anyone can turn on gas and kill people for being Jewish makes me sick..

@cnn.com #Amanpour Great interview with #SimonSchama on his documentary re 80 yrs since Holocaust due on @pbs.org A striking comment was about seeing Jewish ppl as 'not human' & as 'vermin'. Curious isn't that how the #Palestinians are portrayed by #Israeli Government & others? Tragic!

BBC Two - Simon Schama: The Road to Auschwitz Simon Schama confronts the Holocaust as a Europe-wide crime of complicity.

This programme on the #Holocaust by #SimonSchama is essential viewing.
Interview with a survivor at the end is particularly poignant and prescient.
He said that events like the holocaust don't just happen all of a sudden.
They happen gradually. Step by step.
Be afraid.

Simon Schama: The Road to Auschwitz In the most personal and unflinching film of his career, historian Simon Schama confronts the Holocaust as not just a Nazi obsession but as a European-wide crime of complicity.

Most important TV programme #SimonSchama has made IMHO. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Simon Schama: The Road to Auschwitz - HDclump Simon Schama The Road to Auschwitz - Schama turns his lens towards one of history’s darkest chapters, the result is exceptionally powerful.

“Evil comes step by step.”
Schama’s The Road to Auschwitz reveals how indifference enabled genocide across Europe—not just Germany. A gut-wrenching, vital film. Watch here:

Watching #SimonSchama on the #Romantics again, and I think he's overplaying the political in #romanticism. More of early - #18thc - romanticism is about the preciousness of the *personal* experience of nature.

BBC Two - Simon Schama’s Story of Us, Series 1, Our Contested Land Simon looks at the work of three writers who changed people's view of the landscape.

www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

This superb series by #SimonSchama should be on every school curriculum in the land.
#BBC2 #StoryofUs

Just binge-watched Simon Schama’s, Story of Us (BBC iPlayer). A brilliantly perceptive take on our country by the very best of ‘True Brits’. Haven’t seen anything as good in a long time. #SimonSchama

The final moments of this are up there with Bronowski. #SimonSchama

👏 👏 To hear fabulous #Novelist Ali Smith talk about #PaulineBoty's #ART with #SimonSchama

#TheStoryOfUs #bbc2

Honestly, the visual and social history of #TheStoryOfUs starkly shows the jump to modernity after WWII. It must have felt so incredibly positive #simonschama

What is British? Best not to ask the Scots these days. #SimonSchama

Quote shouting #SimonSchama 🥳: “I'm not sure it's being said loudly, clearly or frequently enough: a candidate who lies habitually, outrageously and wantonly is an existential threat to democracy. Democracy can only stand on a basis of truth and fact. This is its first & last commandment”.

So pleased that historian #SimonSchama discovered #HandinHand integrated schools in #Israel and his call for "disarming tribally lethal animosity" #NorthernIreland @IEFNI @EcoPeaceME

#SimonSchama is bl*8dy brilliant on tonight's #bbcqt batting away the moronic nonsense of @AmberRudd_MP & @RogerHelmerMEP with ease
