Please bear with this slightly long post because it is one hell of an illustration of Israel-derangement syndrome in Ireland. An international conference of 'Special Envoys & Coordinators Combating Antisemitism' is currently taking place in Ireland. There was a reception for delegates this evening at the Department of Foreign Affairs. Maurice Cohen of the Irish Jewish Representative Council told the delegates and other guests that he had booked 70 rooms at the Herbert Park Hotel for delegates. But once the hotel discovered what the event was for, they cancelled the booking asking if the conference had a connection to the IDF. (It doesn't, and what a bizarre question to ask). How deeply ironic that this should happen to delegates attending a conference dedicated to fighting anti-Semitism. What this does say about today's Ireland? Nothing good. This story is eminently newsworthy. Journalists should contact Maurice Cohen. (The hotel should be sued). @Alan__Shatter @abrahamson_ed @RachelMoiselle

They gave Navi Pillay a Nobel Prize for her report saying that on October 7th, it was Israel that attacked Hamas. 👇
Replying to @Aizenberg55
10/7 is erased. Entire incident is presented as an Israeli attack, the reader won't know what happened. Hamas is erased too. They do not exist in the report. They are only even mentioned first 8 pages deep, and only and always in the context of Israeli claims & statements. 2/

Today I've resigned as Coordinator of my local Green Party. I've poured so much into this party over the years. Evenings, weekends, campaigning, organising. I've genuinely given it everything. I could stay quiet and sit on the sidelines, but that's just not me. If I think something is wrong, I'll say it. Since speaking out I've had hundreds of abusive and threatening messages. Some are serious enough that I'll be taking them to the police. And to people in the party who have the same concerns as me, please don't stay silent. Speak up. It matters. I'm genuinely gutted it's come to this, but I have to stand by what I believe.

We got an early taste of New York Magazine's new direction in the days after 10/7. In September 2023, we got a call: my husband @BenZevG would be featured in @NYMag's list of the most powerful New Yorkers. A (lovely) reporter interviewed multiple people about our synagogue. Mark Peterson came to take pictures of services right after Yom Kippur. The piece was filed. Then came 10/7. That Friday, we got another call. He'd been cut. "Editors got spooked," we were told. This was a little story about a shul drawing young Jews back to faith. It had nothing to do with the Middle East. Overnight, New York Jews like us -- Orthodox, deeply connected to our ancestral homeland -- had become untouchable. It was chilling. I sensed, in that moment, that this would be the beginning of Jews being pushed out of cultural institutions, and eventually, erased. So if you ever wondered why that list had 49 names instead of 50, now you know. They cut the rabbi.

I’ve written about the grim trend of people asking @JewishNewsUK to remove their names from old articles because they no longer want to be publicly identifiable as Jewish. This morning was the saddest yet. The children of a remarkable man, honoured by the late Queen, asked us to remove his obituary because it mentions them. Britain has been enriched for generations by stalwarts of our community who were proud to put their names to what they built, created and contributed. Now their children are asking for those names to disappear. The question is no longer whether British Jewish life is in retreat. It is how much of it will soon be left. This is not a country where my children can build their lives.

HANDMAIDS TO HISTORY? Shocked to see four women among the top 30 @Likud_Party candidates on its Israel election list. Wouldn't it be simpler to purge them all so we can slide into the Republic of Gilead that @netanyahu and so many of his supporters seem to want?

I genuinely don’t know whether to laugh or lose my mind anymore at this European hypocritical double standards. When it comes to Vladimir Putin, suddenly it’s Churchillian resolve. No compromise. No dialogue. Arm Ukraine to the teeth, sanction everything that moves, wreck your own energy security if necessary - because tyranny must be confronted. Fine. I actually respect the consistency of that … in isolation. But then you turn around and lecture us - us - the Gulf monarchies, Jordan and Israel, about showing restraint with Tehran? About dialogue? About coexistence? Are you serious? For forty years - forty bloody years - this regime has been waging a shadow war across the region. Militias, proxies, sleeper cells, terror networks, destabilizing entire countries - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen - and threatening the Gulf monarchies, Jordan, and Israel nonstop. This isn’t theoretical. This isn’t abstract. This is lived reality. And yet here come Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and the rest of the European choir, gently advising us to calm down, de-escalate, and - what was it again? - “give diplomacy a chance.” Diplomacy with who, exactly? With a system that has built its entire regional strategy on plausible deniability and proxy terror violence? You were willing to absorb inflation, energy shocks, and political backlash at home to confront Moscow. You made that choice. You said: this is the price of standing up to a tyrant. So don’t come here and tell us - after decades of being on the receiving end - that we should just sit down, smile politely, and “coexist.” Either you believe in confronting tyranny everywhere .. or you don’t. Macron, Starmer, rest of EU leaders and top bureaucrats should just STFU and spare us the self righteous sanctimonious lectures!🤐🤫

Ex-BBC journalist Tim Llewellyn turns Joobaiter: "So, a Jewish charity leaves its ambulances unprotected, out in the open, all night, at a time we are repeatedly warned of rising antisemitism--- in the middle of a densely Jewish suburb. Most careless. Really, most careless."

Wondering if the hearts of those frustrated by small acts of petty symbolism, by the feeling that smashed windows and graffiti on bakeries are simply not enough, are cheered by the upgrade to burning ambulances this morning.

The deliberate arson attacks against Hatzola ambulances in London are a particularly sickening assault - not only on the Jewish community, but on the values we share as a society. Our Hatzola volunteer ambulance corps is an extraordinary service, whose sole mission is to protect life, Jewish and non-Jewish alike. The targeting of Hatzola by people so committed to terror, hatred and the desecration of life is a most painful illustration of the ongoing battle between those who sanctify life and those who seek to destroy it. At a time when Jewish communities around the world are facing a growing pattern of these violent attacks, we will meet this moment with shared resolve and stand together against hatred and intimidation.

This focuses the mind: Iranian agents Charged With Spying and Planning Attack on Bevis Marks, Britain's Oldest Synagogue where my parents were married.... along with other targets that are essential parts of British Jewish life. Terrifying. We can only thank the British secret agencies, MI5 and M16 and anti-terrorism Police, for their wonderful work @MI5_Official @chiefMI6 @metpoliceuk nytimes.com/2026/03/19/world…
