A great response, @BogdanKlich, to Tucker Carlson's remarks in his interview with Jacob Rees-Mogg. It reminds me of the Jewish Remembrance Week event earlier this year, with speeches by the mayors of both Görlitz and Zgorzelec. Poland remembers, whether or not Carlson cares.
As @Ed_Miliband said, British Jews responsible for the actions of the State of Israel is antisemitism, pure and simple. A demand that solidarity with British Jews means standing with the Israeli government and its actions, whatever they may be, should be seen in that light.

This is powerful!!
The video strikingly illustrates the game of misinformation that’s being played by Nigel Farage & others. It shows who’s actually benefiting from it.
Absolutely worth watching!

Meningitis B does not mess around. Alfie is by no means the first young person to die of it and we saw in Kent this year how quickly it can spread. Alfie’s Legacy: Give 16–23-Year-Olds the MenB Vaccine - Sign the Petition! c.org/RPLQgQRMXf via @UKChange

Trump wants to deploy the 11th Airborne Division.
That’s not “extra security.” That’s an elite airborne combat unit built for rapid force projection.
You don’t deploy paratroopers like this unless you’re escalating.
Congress needs to stop watching from the bleachers and do its job.
Talking to Trump about his policies doesn’t work - he only respects strength. So the day these tariffs over Greenland come into force, @Keir_Starmer, @RachelReevesMP and @vonderleyen must match them. And if Trump raises his further, we must match ours. That’s all he understands.

Here's an article about the PRO-RAPE riots in Tel Aviv last August.
The rioters includes Israeli ministers.
This is just one facet of the genocidal mania that swept Israeli society - aided by the impunity granted by the Western media and governments.

With all the row over the Aston Villa - Maccabi Tel Aviv match, no one's mentioned that we've been here before. When a match between Leeds and Galatasaray - a Turkish club, not Israeli - was threatened with violence in 2000, the Galatasaray fans were banned from attending.

Farage shows Reform’s true colours. No ifs, no buts, no concern for international law. He doesn’t recognise the concept of refugees. This is who Reform are.

She is commemorated in Avallon, Burgundy with a Rue Jo Cox. There's also a rue Jo Cox in Mamer, Luxembourg and a Place Jo Cox / Jo Coxplein in the centre of Brussels. But there is still no street named after her in Britain.
Not often I go on X now - I’m normally on Bluesky. But this is important. Congratulations to @enialuko on her defamation win! Well done for standing strong and fighting back. @EniAlukoFansite

Someone explained it best on here - unsure where the tweet is.
If Russia retreated, would Ukraine follow into Russian territory? No
If Ukraine retreated, would Russia follow deeper into Ukraine? Yes
Russia started the war and it’s insulting to insinuate otherwise.
