In certain circles, anybody who raises the subject of antisemitism is assumed to be doing Israel’s bidding. Which is why I begin by pointing out that Sir David Bell, the author of a government-commissioned review of antisemitism in England’s schools and colleges, is about as far from a Zionist stooge as it is possible to get.
A former chief inspector of schools and permanent secretary at the Department for Education, he is the epitome of the sober, establishment centrist. His report, in other words, is about as kosher as they come.
What he found was shameful. Three in five Jewish pupils say they have experienced or witnessed antisemitism at school, and about half of them never reported it. Yet the most revealing part of the story is less what the review uncovered than the reaction to it from the people who are entrusted to run our classrooms...

Here's the link! Like, subscribe and don't be Sarah Helm jakewallissimons.substack.co…
Jonathan Powell has a problem: his wife. As a result, Britain has a problem: Jonathan Powell.
For days, Sarah Helm has doubled down on her apparent sympathy for terrorist groups, including not just Palestine Action but even, in the past, Hamas.
The questions have now reached Parliament: our national securiry adviser's clearance, vetting, and his record on China and Chagos.
But the bigger story is what this says about British foreign policy. At the very moment when our relationship with Israel – an intelligence partner that has saved countless British lives – is in jeopardy due to empty, pro-Palestine virtue-signalling, our national security adviser is engulfed in this controversy.
His position is untenable. He must go.

Do you have no shame at all, Owen?
The government's antisemitism in schools report is a travesty.
It's riddled with errors, distortions and contradictions.
And it will be used to silence people over Palestine 👇

Why national security adviser Jonathan Powell must resign now, explained in two minutes.
My interview with @JuliaHB1 today.
There's been some interest in the "Israel lobby" since Mehdi Hasan's little film today, and the graph I posted earlier. Here are a few more. Link to article in first reply!
Jonathan Powell must stand down.
Who is representing Britain abroad?
In November 2025 we discovered the National Security Advisor had travelled to Beijing to meet with Wang Yi, the Chinese Communist Party’s Foreign Minister.
No British Government record of this meeting was published.
Instead, the CCP informs us our National Security Advisor emphasized China’s role in the world and the Labour Government’s hopes of a deeper relationship.
No democratic mandate as an unelected special advisor. No transparency as only the Chinese side published a record of the meeting. No scrutiny as he refuses to appear in front of Parliamentary Committees.
Perhaps we should ask the National Security Advisor’s wife to tweet a record of what was discussed?

Rare Trump administration win.
The attempt to lower the genocide intent threshold, just to shaft Israel, ought to shatter the international legal system.
ICJ ad hoc "judge" Navi Pillay is tipping the scales on the ICJ’s current proceedings on Myanmar, intending to lower the legal threshold for proving genocide so that weakened and false standard can later be weaponized against American and allied soldiers whenever they raise a finger against terrorists that hide behind civilians. Pillay: We see your agenda and we'll be watching the ICJ’s handling of these proceedings very closely. As our actions against the ICC demonstrate, we will not allow globalist, faux-judges to weaponize the law against our troops, undermine our sovereignty, or put American lives at risk.
The Nobel Committee has disgraced itself by awarding the Peace Prize to Pillay. What a shameful choice to "honor" someone who represents an "international community" with a leftist, globalist, antisemitic agenda.
President Trump is showing a better way, by actually ENDING WARS, bringing hostages HOME, and making PEACE.
Steve Witkoff, Trump's special envoy, praised Vladimir Putin as a "humanitarian" in St Petersburg this week, as Russian troops butchered civilians in Kyiv and Kharkiv.
The flattery, of course, was grotesque. But the bigger scandal was what America's negotiators failed to say.
In occupied Oleshky, thousands of Ukrainians are trapped without food or medicine. Bodies lie unburied in the streets because the occupiers forbid burials.
The Pope has pleaded with Putin for mercy from his hospital bed. A vice-president of the European Parliament has gone on hunger strike.
What did Washington's envoys bring home? A thank-you note from the Kremlin to Melania.
As the world's biggest superpower, America has leverage. It's choosing to squander it on sordid and ineffective diesel deals and empty compliments.
History may forget Witkoff's name. It won't forget Oleshky.

I guess readers can make their own minds up, Mehdi. Propaganda only goes so far! And while we're promoting things, check out my exposure of the "Israel lobby" lie here: jakewallissimons.com
Thanks for promoting the film, Jake! It's so antisemitic that almost every interviewee in the film is Jewish and it is former AIPAC officials themselves in the film saying they think AIPAC coordinated with the Israeli government and acted as a foreign agent.
People can watch for themselves here:
zeteo.com/p/watch-our-new-ai…
As for spending, AIPAC's super PAC just spent $30 million in a single Senate race, a record even for AIPAC, so let's stop pretending that most other lobbies are coming anywhere close to AIPAC's spending ($100 million plus) in this 2026 election cycle.
Facts don't care about your (paranoid) feelings.

In our latest interview, @JakeWSimons explains where criticism of Israel ends and antisemitism begins, why “Israelophobia” is antisemitism’s latest form and the dangerous alliance between the far-left and Islamists.
Full interview here on @X.
Utterly devastating from @brett_mcgurk about the lawfare Israel has faced from the UN and related bodies
Irish government thinks grandparents hugging their grandchildren is an issue of “consent”. What’s wrong with these people
The state of this. Sarah Helm’s sympathies clearly lie with Hamas; Britain’s foreign policy now comprises activism against Israel at the expense of our national security. Put it together and what do you get?
Jonathan Powell must go.
Mehdi Hasan's Zeteo has a new documentary out on AIPAC, asking whether the "Israel lobby" is really an agent of a foreign power.
A shadowy, fabulously rich network pulling Washington's strings: it's one of the most enduring antisemitic tropes of our age. So I did Mehdi a favour and checked the numbers.
Over the past decade, Israel ranked tenth for registered foreign lobbying spending, behind China, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE and even the Marshall Islands. AIPAC came 191st among Washington's lobbies. The entire pro-Israel lobbying category spent less than gun-rights groups, and a fraction of what the drug companies spend.
Elections? AIPAC's super PAC spends serious money. But it competes in a system where outside groups have poured in nearly $2 billion this cycle, and six organisations have each spent over $60 million.
Strangely, Zeteo seems far less curious about Riyadh, Beijing or Doha.
