But it should have been the 2024 manifesto. 2366

Reposted by DeanJoel S. @joelhs.bsky.social · 28/07/2026A lot of people really desperately need to find some evidence that Mayor Mamdani is actually an incorrigible antisemite, because it is far more threatening to their worldview to imagine that someone with his views on Palestine might not actually like Jews and appreciate parts of Jewish culture. 1497

Reposted by DeanCharles Я. Davis @charliearchy.bsky.social · 13/05/2026When someone blames Jews for the ills of capitalism, we don't call that person an "anticapitalist."

My latest for @theredoubt.net, on not letting right-wing antisemites avoid responsibility for Donald Trump: www.theredoubt.net/tucker-carls...theredoubt.netTucker Carlson owns this presidencyRight-wing antisemites are blaming Israel instead of themselves for Donald Trump's actions. We shouldn't let them get away with it. 111127
Dean @lepetitanglais.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Polanski's opposition to anti-Semitism has been abysmal and his Jewish background is irrelevant. Inviting Farage and not Polanski is indefensible but let's not sugarcoat things. 100
Dean @lepetitanglais.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Strongly disagree with this. The met factor is that senior figures at the BoD find Farage more palatable than Polanski. They think Farage will go after other minorities and spare Jews. 120
Reposted by DeanJWexTheSpa @jwsidders.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Jewish people have described their own traumatic experiences of anti-Semitic behaviour by Farage. He has effectively called them liars. By inviting him, the BoD is taking his side. They absolutely would not do the same with anyone on the pro-Palestine left. It is blatant hypocrisy and it stinks. 21438142
