An atheist disproves God. God takes it personally.

I've had my criticisms of the government, but this step by Labour - making it clear that what the Greens have done has crossed a red line, and establishing a cordon sanitaire - is EXACTLY the right thing to do.
And I'd like to know why the Lib Dems haven't done the same.

Edwin Montagu has become a pin-up for todayās anti-Zionist left, from Zack Polanski to Mehdi Hasan to Benjamin Moser.
But who was the patrician Montagu and how does his thinking hold up today?

After the Green Party's "Zionism is Racism" vote, the Leader of Haringey Council, which is controlled by the Greens, wrote to various Synagogues in the borough to "reassure" them.
I want to show you Highgate Synagogue's reply. I believe it is worth reading in its entirety.

"On Holocaust Memorial Day, let us not forget the many Germans who lost their lives in the course of Allied assaults on the concentration camps."
You get lots of unfair abuse but this is grim, classless and unnecessary. Everything before the āalsoā sounds like drum roll.
Great to carry an op-ed from our prime minister to mark #October7. āAn attack on Jews is an attack on us allā, etc. Cross-referenced at the end of a related piece in the same issue. Just good journalism.
My first book talk and signing. I talked. People listened. Then, in an extraordinary lapse of judgement, some of them paid money for the book. A lovely evening.
'How can I make the same financial mistake?'

My 12-year-old daughter discovered an entertainer she loves is Jewish.
āDad! They're Jewish! Can you interview them?ā
I didnāt ask.
Their career is taking off. Being identified as Jewish will only damage them.
The kindest thing Jewish News can do for a young Jew in the public eye is keep quiet about them being Jewish.
I told my daughter they were busy.
My daughter will learn the lesson all too soon: in todayās Britain, hide who you are.

Iāve 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.
In the same week a terror plot against Manchesterās Jews is foiled, #ManchesterUnitedās all-time top scorer reveals heās Jewish. Shitbags 0, Jews 1 (#Rooney, 89mins).
