Antisemitism is rising, yet promises alone will not protect Jewish communities. The UK’s J7 meeting must be more than talk. Seven countries have agreed to deepen cooperation. But will they deliver real consequences for anti-Jewish hatred, or will another warning go unanswered?

💔 Exactly 3 years since the October 7 massacre. “Where is my girl, Dad? She’s gone.” The heartbreaking final conversation of Inbar Shem Tov, who was murdered at the Nova festival, with her father. 🕯️🇮🇱 Rest of the conversation in the comments⬇️

🤩 Sydney Sweeney is "serious" about converting to Judaism. The 29-year-old, who has had roles in TV series The Handmaid’s Tale and The White Lotus, is in a relationship with Jewish businessman and former talent manager Scooter Braun, 44. According to sources speaking to the New York Post’s celebrity column Page Six: “The couple is discussing having their own family and Scooter feels strongly on the subject.” ✨ We welcome you with open arms, Sydney!

A pro-Palestine student march is set to go ahead in central London tomorrow, on the third anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attacks in Israel. The march is expected to begin at noon at King’s College London and end at UCL in Russell Square. The Met had urged organisers to move the protest to another date. Police have now imposed conditions on the march, including a ban on face coverings that conceal participants’ identities.

As the Greens are busy stirring up yet more Jew hatred, Jews are marching in Cable Street. 90 years it was the fascists. Now it’s them and it’s the far left.

‘From Past Prejudices to Present Policies: Confronting Anti-Muslim Hatred and Promoting Human Rights.’ - from the National association of Muslim Police The paper was 39 pages long and was published on NAMP’s website in July 2025. It was written by Khaldoun Kabbani, who was then NAMP’s vice-president and chair of the Scottish Police Muslim Association. It described Zionism as a manifestation of anti-Muslim hatred. It referred to the IDF as a “Zionist terrorist” group. It questioned reports about Hamas atrocities on 7 October, describing some accounts of violence as “unverified”. Critics accused the paper of antisemitism and Holocaust inversion. The paper was eventually removed from NAMP’s website. The controversy has now been revisited in the new Policy Exchange report, which asks whether police staff associations should be involved in politically contentious issues at all.
