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

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".

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

And without doubt a full 7-10 day State funeral when Bród died. That good boy deserved to be laid to rest in Arlington cemetery if he had been the US President's

I joined here for ignominious reasons in 2011 to find out about Ryan Giggs. And look where I am now. Still here. Doing the same (and a bit of work too)

Yep. 5 years with a debilitating rare bone disease and about to get a couple of joints replaced. Incredulous but hopeful for a day with even reduced, let alone no pain

Can't believe he only has a wine fridge, and glass box kitchen when - if he cut back on discretionary spend on fripperies - he could have a spiral wine bunker
When investment in schools, education + foundational skills is one of the best causal link w/ personal flourishing, innovation, social mobility, national prosperity etc, this is madness

astonishing song and spellbinding performance. genuinely baffled by his talent - that he can be as brilliant a musician as he is an actor

Simcox has a platform + agenda; communal orgs + "leaders" w/ politics on the right have both a platform + his ear; we Jews are 'useful' to Simcox, esp in current environment, and esp those whose world view is similar to his. For most of us though, this is damaging + exclusionary

Fmr colleague (retired teacher, late 60s) gave me his used copy every week for a year. Felt like I dissociated for the whole time then revived (in a bad way, shouting) reading dross from Fareed Zakaria. Only thing worse is people who still claim THEY were person of the year 2006
Many of my people have been waiting for the conditions to be right that this can be rebuilt. But the Jews still remain a diaspora without a Temple.
Luckily we may now make the pilgrimage to Bristol airport, and Moshiach will arrive on the 19:10 from Alicante
This week, we have opened a new multi-faith area in the free waiting zone.
Located just off the Silver Zone roundabout, the new area provides customers with a private space to reflect and pray whilst waiting to collect friends, family or loved ones.

Comedy about someone in San Francisco’s most liberal neighbourhood who genuinely does need to have a little bandage on his ear after a routine operation but whom everyone assumes has become an extreme Trumpist.
@antoniabance
These were the unavoidable challenges for so many people, I suppose. Everyone paddling to try to stop going under. Many dead or submerged by the deluge of pressure COVID brought. So having to listen to a doppler nursery rhyme, even on a call of national importance... isn't so bad

I get that this is cringey (I really rate + respect Marcus + his work though). But it's also been a massively isolating period of time. A little connection + recognition goes a long way

Well done, Kolbassia. The work that you + others have done to expand survivor-led campaigning is extraordinary. This is taking forwards on a different scale everything I remember Perico doing in his testifying in 2013
@neilmcrowther
It's also so totally different from brain (stem) death, that we really shouldn't need to call it out. And where it's possible to feel loss or grief without an actual death, the language really matters. A lot of lessons to be learned from the damage done by the ad

Jew here, saying I don't understand what there possibly is to call you out on. Sounded like he was trying to belittle an MP and use about her actions a phrase that he thought she might use. Pretty childish by him in the first instance then gets worse. Odd + utterly unnecessary
