“Racism arises in different ways for different groups, but it’s abhorrent in all cases for the same reasons. Once we see this, we can see that our efforts to combat antisemitism should be allied to 360-degree anti-racism” This is such a great interview with @dmf101.bsky.social in the Guardian.

"We will not let this horror be weaponized to justify crackdowns on Palestine solidarity movements or violent retribution against Muslim communities". This is such a great piece by @emhilton.bsky.social. Worth your time. www.972mag.com/bondi-massac...

After the Bondi massacre, we don't have the luxury to grieve silently

Before the blood had dried, the deadliest attack on Australian Jews was being used to justify repressing Palestine solidarity and retribution against Muslims.

Why don’t we acknowledge that there are different ways of measuring the prevalence of anti-Jewish prejudice?

More Jewish people in Britain are concerned by general racism than the number who are worried by antisemitism. This is a building block for anti-racist politics, write three Birkbeck experts. @bisa-bkk.bsky.social

First post here. The violence in Amsterdam has been widely described as a ‘pogrom’. This is misleading and politically dangerous. It also does a disservice to Jewish history. My piece for @bylinetimes.bsky.social www.bylinesupplement.com/p/was-the-vi...

Was The Violence in Amsterdam an Anti-Jewish Pogrom?

Dr Brendan McGeever from the Birkbeck Institute for the Study of Antisemitism says the careless use of the word 'pogrom' does a disservice to Jewish history.
