Today the Board of Deputies passed a resolution (118-1!) declaring the Greens a racist party. The resolution claimed that the BoD had a good record of campaigning against ‘racist parties’ . As a historian of this rather niche issue, the truth is rather different.

Personally, I think what really threatens American Jews is insisting our safety is dependent on denying what the whole world sees, that the Israeli gov committed war crimes against Palestinian civilians. Force people to think protecting Jews means denying reality, and they will stop caring about us.

Thank you @georgemonbiot.bsky.social for this really good thread.

My speech from the conference debate on 'Zionism is Racism’ motion

The "Zionism is racism" motion, to be debated at the Green Party conference tomorrow, will not advance the Palestinian cause one inch. But, if adopted, it would marginalise and discredit the party. There are powerful ways to confront the genocide. Toxic gesture politics isn't one of them.

100% this, a rubicon has been crossed The Israeli govt has killed tens of thousands of people, including 20,000 children, over the course of just a few years - and have showed no accountability, no genuine remorse, and came under little meaningful intl pressure to end the killing

Senior UK rabbis come out in support of sanctions on Israeli settlements

Fame at last!

80 year-olds with pro-Palestine signs: arrested as terrorists. Greens planning to block a road, to highlight an existential crisis: sent down for years. Masked far-right thugs blocking roads and ports, using intimidation, obstruction & threatening behaviour: no arrests. The real two-tier policing.

I simply do not understand what's going on in Labour that renders its leaders incapable of finding a TV camera and speaking out against street violence. Even if you assume they agree about immigration, violence is wrong, unpopular AND against the interests of any even vaguely left wing govt.

Somewhere in England, a tired man turns off Channel 4 news and wearily puts on a bin.

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

I love capturing those moments where London Underground trains line up perfectly with station posters. With a little patience and a bit of luck, you can end up with some wonderfully amusing and unexpected shots.

OneDrive: no, I don't know where your file is either

Yawn.

It was wrong when the media did this to Ed Miliband when he was leader and it is wrong to do this to Polanski. Genuinely have no idea how awfulness like this gets past editors… It’s really not that hard to criticise policies or politicians without being antisemitic.

We must stand in solidarity with Jews being attacked by antisemitic criminals and terrorists: no ifs or buts. We must stand in solidarity with Palestinians being murdered by the Israeli government: no ifs or buts. These are not contradictory positions. They are consistent ones. 🧵1/5

Looking forward to joining @BarnetGreens on the #GetGreensElected - #VoteGreen trail on Sunday. If this is your patch, hope to see you there! actionnetwork.org/events/april...

Reports of a third attempted arson attack on Jewish targets in North London this week. It's getting really scary and more people need to start taking it seriously.

67 horses have died at the Aintree Festival since 2000. 17 after racing in the Grand National. This isn’t sport, it’s a death toll. We’re calling for a boycott. Don’t attend. Don’t bet. Switch off. It’s time to put horse welfare before profit.

This is Apartheid. It's morally disgusting - and comes at the same time as Israel is committing an ongoing genocide. To see the Labour Government defend Israel repeatedly will horrify the British public - it cannot go on like this.

For whoever needs to hear this I'm the only Jewish person to lead a political party - third largest in the country. The Daily Mail have been & always will be my enemy - they historically supported fascists & continue to do so. I'll take no lectures from them on Antisemitism.

I hope the dogs are OK, and get the medication they need (tetanus shots?).

If you're replying to a post about torched ambulances in London with a point about Israel, you've crossed the line into antisemitism. And you're doing absolutely nothing to help any cause. Even if you consider yourself one of the good people. Maybe especially so. You've just caught racism.

The purity test put on Jews to have absolutely no ties to Israel at all is impossible for most Jews, in case that wasn’t obvious Many have family in Israel because they went there after the Shoah, or after the Jewish expulsions from Arab countries, or because they’re Ethiopian Jewish refugees

Horrified by the antisemitic attack in our city. Antisemitism is vile and has no place here. Solidarity with the Jewish community in Golders Green - and with our communities across the country who will be feeling this today.

My thoughts are with Jewish communities across Britain today in the wake of the antisemitic arson attack on ambulances in London. This disgusting act of hatred and intimidation has no place in the UK.

Leaving the EU has impacted people and businesses across the UK, with the impacts still being felt a decade after the referendum. The solution? Reset our relationship, rejoin the single market, and regain our place at the heart of Europe.

Utterly the wrong call. Step by step, this embroils us in an immoral, illegal, illogical war.

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating.

Our priorities are clear: Make life more affordable. Protect the majority over the wealthy elite. Protect our planet for generations to come.

The only way Reform UK could win a general election is through our first-past-the-post system. If we had proportional representation, the threat would evaporate. We don't have PR because Starmer has blocked it. This allows him to say: vote Labour or you get Farage. Because it's all he has left.

Failing the ‘Can you name the current US president’ cognitive question is particularly bad when you’re the answer.

The Conquest of the Holy Land story has done untold damage over the centuries-- including now, as it's used to justify the intensification of the West Bank's ethnic cleansing. But what if we've been reading it wrong all along? Proud to share a brilliant new take from @ddelgadovive.bsky.social:

Call the Midwife 😢

The tragic awfulness of this government is that it has extended a factional war against the left of the Labour Party into a war against almost all the good things we might have expected of it. It cannot respond to the crisis it faces, because its hatred of the Labour left is definitional.

On the eve of the Gorton & Denton by-election the Labour Party have invented a fake tactical voting organisation to put on their leaflets. Lying to voters is all they have left. All the (real) tactical voting organisations agree: only a Green vote can stop Reform on Thursday.

This is genuinely awful. A post promoting antisemitic tropes, from a Christian church organisation, on Holocaust Memorial Day.

"I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace."

I'm good thanks. I think I probably won't move to the country where the authorities pump out neo-Nazi memes and masked militias roam the streets.
