antisemitism

The placard-wavers; the keyboard warriors. Anti-Jewish feeling undiminished by the Gaza ceasefire and the release of living hostages/hostage remains/prisoners/detainees. The hatred of Israel and everything it stands for, ain't going away. And it matters nothing if your muddled thinking does not enable you to appreciate that many Jews have disapproved of the extent of Israel's military action in Gaza: prejudice is based on sentiment, not rationality.

It's a tough life being a sports presenter on a current affairs programme. One minute it's the war in Ukraine, and the next it's: 'Now over to Mike Williams with the sport'.

This piece is inspired by a Times article written by journalist Deborah Ross, 'How to be an antisemite (don't worry, it's easy)'. So that my effort is a little more than reporting her own insights, I am adding a few thoughts of my own, through some knowledge of the Jewish community.

The Wiener Holocaust Library. Founded by Dr Alfred Wiener in 1933, it is described in its Home website section as '...one of the world's leading and most extensive archives on the Holocaust and Nazi era'. Today its research, teaching and advocacy work extend beyond the Holocaust to other acts of genocide, a piquant irony in view of the anger launched at Israel over its response to the Hamas terrorist attack of 7th October.
