Perhaps, one day, schoolkids will study this squalid little chapter in British terror-panic history. When they do, I hope these two headlines from today are printed side by side, with clear annotation of which individual faced more outrage and condemnation.
Headline: BBC under pressure to pull Sally Rooney dramas over vow to fund Palestine Action Headline: Tory minister Robert Jenrick pictured with former Nazi terror chief at far right protest.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well. forward.com/opinion/7575...

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders?
A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

It’s precisely my understanding of antisemitism which leads me to root for Zohran. As Jews, we thrive when everyone thrives. When other minority groups suffer, we also suffer. Few things could make me feel safer as a Jewish American than a Muslim mayor who fights for working people.

Can't find it on @kenfoxe.bsky.social's BlueSky to repost, sorry to share from x. But yeah, well said.👏👏
One thing I learned about my job this week is that there's an absolute obligation on politicians (and others) to speak to former candidates of far-right parties who later say they are journalists.

This is of fundamental importance so that video content can be created to try to stitch up and humiliate the politician involved.

The fact that this in turn leads to vile online abuse and threats to the politician involved (and party colleagues) is okay because the freedom of the press supersedes such concerns.

Failure to contribute to video content designed to sow division in Irish society is also comparable to the exclusion and/or suppression of trusted media organisations from press conferences in other countries.

All of this I missed when I studied, and later taught, journalism in university. As they say, every day is a school day.
