This is the “Al Jazeera cameraman” Israel killed over the weekend. Maybe he just didn’t tell his employer he had a side hustle as a Hamas sniper?

Thank you, Kemi
I stand against antisemitism. I stand against those people who want Jews to be afraid to go about their lives, and will never allow them to win. I stand with the Jews of Britain.

Dear @owenjonesjourno. As editor of Jewish News, I was appalled by the language my deputy used towards you. There is no excuse for the unnecessary use of a full stop before a coordinating conjunction. The sentence should, of course, have read: “I am Deputy Editor of Jewish News and I’m respectfully asking you to fuck right off.”
I'm Deputy Editor of Jewish News. And I'm respectfully asking you to fuck right off.

Thank you @KemiBadenoch
Exceptional poise, moral clarity, courage and grace from @KemiBadenoch in the face of the Gaza mob. (Total 🔥 too.) Free Britain from jihadism!

I’m devastated to announce the passing today of my uncle Jean at 96 years old. The last surviving member of the Szklarz family in this photo. Reunited with his parents and siblings after 80+ years 💔
Tonight, on #YomHaShoah I remember my mother, Paulette, a child Holocaust survivor, my grandparents Traitel & Cecile (murdered at Auschwitz, 1942), my uncle Nathan (murdered at Auschwitz, 1944 age 12), my aunt Annette (mum’s twin, murdered at Auschwitz, 1944 age 6) #NeverAgain

This is the official poster marking #YomHashoah 2026 The image in Yoav Kahana's poster depicts the "absence" within the "presence"; the personal and collective rupture to the Jewish people engendered by the Holocaust. This rupture accompanied the survivors as they searched for living relatives and were met with an aching void. Learn more: bit.ly/4lDfwjC

Mum died 16 years ago today, on her 72nd birthday. Reunited at last with her twin sister, Annette. I’m relieved she is not alive to witness the horrific return of antisemitism, the same hatred which resulted in the murder of her parents, brother and twin sister #proudjew ✡️

9 April 1938 | Jewish twin girls Annette & Paulette Szklarz were born in #Metz. On 31 July 1944 Annette was deported from #Drancy to #Auschwitz & murdered in a gas chamber. Paulette was in the hospital with measles & survived hidden by doctors. Paulette is @debra_author mother.

⚠️ URGENT: Somayeh Heydari, a physics student at Tabriz University, was arrested by the Islamic regime. Since then, there has been no information about her whereabouts or condition. You know what the regime does to women in prison. Her life is in danger. Be her voice.
