This roadkill eating junkie spews utter bullshit like this and his idiot acolytes believe him. In the Islamic Golden Age (9th to 15th centuries), Arab & Muslim scholars made pioneering discoveries & inventions across mathematics, optics, medicine, & engineering: The groundwork for modern science.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Again, itโ€™s worth recalling what happened when the SNP put forward a parliamentary motion about this type of thing, which included the words โ€œcollective punishmentโ€. Remember how all the press lads were outraged, but also very non-specific about it was that had happened and why it was bad.

We need much stricter measures to prevent antisemitism because itโ€™s not more prevalent than other forms of racism. Apparently, 95% of black kids have experienced racism at school, but theyโ€™re not top of the hierarchy so who cares? www.normalisland.co.uk/p/british-te...

Only 5,000 kids were surveyed, only 92 were Jewish, only 70 of 92 responded, and 29 said they had faced antisemitism at school. Only 2% said antisemitism was a big problem at their school and we're reclassifying it as a more serious form of racism based on that? Is this a joke?
