Yes, I'm so disgusted that I'm engaging with this content. If/ when anyone said this about us Jews, we'd call it out too. British citizens can vote however they want, with whatever diasporic/ identity -based considerations.

I don't need to imagine I'm a British Jew - I am. And I don't want Matt Goodwin to be our friend because he doesn't share our values. Solidarity and dialogue are vital to our shared positions as minorities. Encouraging division lessens everyone's dignity #Salaam #Shalom

Imagine you're a British Jew. You've just witnessed the worst atrocities against Jews since World War Two. And then a wave of anti-Semitic & pro-Hamas chants on Britain's streets. And now your national leaders fall over themselves to warn the country about "Islamophobia".

@antoniabance Exactly. In 1st lockdown, my wife was doing a huge job, AND had 2 other full time jobs looking after me while bed-bound following major surgery AND looking after our 18 month old. Not exactly an outlier on what Ordinary People's submissions will be like to the #CovidInquiry
