✒️ Proud to add my name to this open letter rejecting the accusation that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and warning that the charge has become a dangerous vehicle for scapegoating Jews and fueling antisemitism around the world. https://t.co/KPn76JRnG1
Israeli envoy @dannydanon launches UN task force to fight Jew-hatred including ‘right here within the walls’. https://t.co/d0luzRZBO5
Blinken denies telling Qatar to delay Israel-Hamas hostage mediation. https://t.co/Kk3kuwOMjX
Timely reminder: In 1979, prior to meeting Margaret Thatcher, Israeli PM Begin was asked: “Are you going to ask Mrs. Thatcher for her support of the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital?" This was Begin's response, as recounted by Yehuda Avner in 'The Prime Ministers': https://t.co/PWNrfTXcyh
"Miliband is acting as if Oct. 7 didn’t happen, as if his naive theory of how peace can be achieved is impervious to empirical refutation. He is in denial, guilty of erasing the memory of the victims of an abhorrent pogrom. Shame on him." ~ @AllisterHeath https://t.co/Yml2A1DTiL
It took Grace Tame 6 MONTHS to 'apologise' for her abhorrent comments doubting the rape and sexual violence perpetrated against Israeli women on Oct 7th, and this is best she could do? Too little, too late and not good enough!
The @australian editorial on the double standards and hypocrisy of sanctioning Israeli settlers, but giving a free pass to ongoing terror, incitement and intransigence by the Palestinian Authority. https://t.co/bTYKaBdblx
Thank you @TomTugendhat and the @Conservatives for your moral clarity, for standing on the right side of history and unyielding in solidarity with the British Jewish community and the State of Israel! 🇬🇧 🇮🇱 https://t.co/QS487QgMTj
“If we are serious about pursuing principled foreign policy and encouraging peace, rather than catering to domestic political considerations & appeasing extremist factions, we will withdraw our recognition of the Palestinian state and sanction the PA, not Israel.” @AIJAC_Update https://t.co/xvpXzCztSy
‘Burnham and Miliband are sacrificing the UK’s economic and security interests to appease an anti-Zionist fringe.’ @JakeWSimons in Spiked. https://t.co/yaMGDd7flO
‘How Miliband’s Israel sanctions could backfire: Fallout from Foreign Secretary’s import ban may affect areas ranging from intelligence-sharing to medicine.’ https://t.co/4hxVVPK5Xi
“We will not have our job done until anybody uttering the notion that Israel is committing genocide is made to be ashamed for doing so." Leading British historian, Sir @simon_schama, speaking at the annual @HolocaustUK appeal dinner. [Video via @JewishChron]
"Woke 2 is already here, and Gaza is its current preoccupation." @jonathanchait https://t.co/vgohRlH7qu
'Labour’s anti-Israel obsession shows it hasn’t changed since Jeremy Corbyn was leader'. Opposition leader @KemiBadenoch, writing in @JewishChron, in response to British sanctions on Israel by Ed Miliband. https://t.co/oTTGhigxN9
Swift response by Israel to UK sanctions, with FM @gidonsaar announcing British consulate in east Jerusalem would be shut down, while British representatives at the Kiryat Gat Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) would be expelled. Other sanctions include the termination of training by UK forces to Palestinian Authority security forces in Ramallah and banning the entrance of 12 British MPs (including Jeremy Corbyn).
Might someone care to inform @Ed_Miliband that the British Mandate ended 78 years ago and Britain no longer gets to dictate terms to the Jews! https://t.co/ZNWclm8rNu
One blood libel after another. U.S. Ambassador to Israel @GovMikeHuckabee was entirely right when he said “The Brits have lost it. The Jew hate of their government knows no boundaries and knows no facts.”
Shame on @adidas, cowering to the bullies and Israel-haters! https://t.co/G4s0q87TH4
President @Isaac_Herzog Warns Against Sanctions on Israel by the UK: “This will prove to be a grave miscalculation, a decision that will fall on the wrong side of history, and a gross interference in the democratic elections of a sovereign nation. And it will serve no one. It will directly harm – unfortunately – Palestinians, robbing them of business and employment. And, ultimately, it will undermine the interests and national security of freedom-loving nations. Sanctions are not a solution. Dialogue is. I say to all foreign governments: Stop! Step away from the dead-end of sanctions and boycotts. And turn toward constructive dialogue and toward cooperation.”
There is nothing “independent” about Ms. Albanese. And the only thing she is an “expert” in, is in fanning the flames of Jew-hatred and empowering Hamas.
The Australian Jewish community, as well as all those who value and cherish the 🇦🇺🇮🇱 alliance, are blessed to have such a friend and ally, as @DaveSharma. You can read his wide-ranging interview with @aus_jewishnews here: https://t.co/uA755x9Z5A
Important by @ilanberman, writing in @WashTimes: 'Tehran ramps up its war on information'. https://t.co/SeWv3lFvYU
In other headlines, I was not expecting today: 'Germany fights Gaza genocide claims at the top UN court.' Case is concerning Nicaragua's bogus claims that Germany is complicit in supposed 'genocide' in Gaza, by supporting Israel. https://t.co/SGqiiabPDr
Former Israeli diplomat and ambassador @MarkRegev, speaking to Chris Kenny on @News24Aust: “We [Israel] are defending ourselves, we’re looking after our own interests, but in doing so I firmly believe that we’re standing up for the whole Western world against these terrible, extremist dictatorships like the Iranian government. Iran with nuclear weapons is not just a problem for Israel; it’s a problem for the world, it’s a problem for Australia too.”
Sit there obsessively attacking Israel and Jews?
