In my opinion, the only humane and compassionate position that will set us free is that Palestinians and Jews both have an equal and symmetrical right to self-determination.

The UKs benefits stystem has repeatedly been found to be in breach of the the UN Convention the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. These further medicalisationd will only harm and kill more disabled people

This man is an antisemitic ghoul.

Bullying someone for being a former Jewish day school pupil & a member of a synagogue. If your benchmark is someone being a member of a synagogue, it turns out you actually just don’t like Jews.

I see we’re making lists of Jews. Historically, that’s always worked out well, right?

It’d be pathetic if it wasn’t so dangerous.

Thank you to JHSE New Generation Group Jewish Historical Society of England (JHSE) for this brilliant opportunity.
