The fact that this antisemitic special rapporteur recently had her contract renewed should tell you everything you need to know about the UN.

"Humanity has a 'common enemy' in #Israel, Francesca Albanese tells Qatar's Al Jazeera forum.

She casts the Jewish state as an ontological force corrupting humanity itself, dehumanizing Israelis to frame all violence against them as justified."

I'm tired of people lying about a Genocide that didn't happen in Gaza.

I'm tired of people ignoring other Genocides that ACTUALLY HAPPENED in other parts of the world. (Artsakh anyone??)

I'm tired of posters, particularly on this website, attacking Jews just because they're Jews.

‘I understand antisemitism because I was born in Russia’:
@nicolelampert.bsky.social talks to Izabella Tabarovsky author of “Be a Refusenik: A Jewish Student’s Survival Guide” a new guide for students on how to fight Jew-hatred on campus www.thejc.com/life/i-under... #antizionism
Izabella Tabarovsky had her "lightbulb moment" about contemporary antisemitism when she had been living in the US for 28 years but was suddenly plunged back to her tough upbringing in the Soviet Union. It was 2018, and she saw an anti-Israel campus protest on television. "The students were holding placards saying "Zionism is racism', 'Apartheid state', and all the other slogans to which we have become so accustomed. "I had been writing about the Holocaust in the USSR and had become used to thinking about antisemitism only in those terms. But something about the placards disturbed me - they had echoes that I couldn't quite place. I called my father and asked for his thoughts. "He just burst out laughing and that's when I realised that I had seen all this before when I was growing up in the USSR. Two immediate questions formed in my mind. The USSR had collapsed long ago so why was this happening now? And how had it got here, this language from my old world? 'The language hadn't been reinvented. It had come straight from my old world." She came to London to conduct research into the left-wing press of yesteryear. Before long, it became obvious that the anti-Zionist ideas she had seen on the campus protest in America had been been sown in newspapers and periodicals decades before.

British schools have failed to properly teach children about the dangers of #antisemitism: It is sadly no surprise that Holocaust Memorial Day has been neutered and watered down www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/80a1ee7... By @nicolelampert.bsky.social #HistoricalPoliticalMemory
Schools, struggling with parent and maybe even teacher groups who claim the Holocaust isn't real or "propaganda" or insist that any mention of genocide has to also mention Gaza, have chosen to go for the easy route and opt out altogether. It used to be said that people only love dead Jews - novelist Dara Horn has written a brilliant book on the subject - but now even the Holocaust victims are not immune from the modern incarnation of anti-Semitism. In truth, the Holocaust has become increasingly politicised for many years. HMD became watered down. First - and probably rightly - it included all the victims of the Nazis, including gay men, the Roma and Sinti gypsy groups, people with disabilities, and political enemies.

‘As a Jew, I was told Israel didn’t exist’: Life inside Britain’s biggest teaching union.
Two Jewish teachers expose the rampant #antisemitism – and ‘pro-Palestine’ indoctrination – within the NEU www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/5b45db1... By @nicolelampert.bsky.social #autjoritarianLeft #syndicalism
When Bristol MP, Damien Egan, who is Jewish, was prevented from visiting a local school after his appearance was cancelled due to "security reasons" , the local teaching union celebrated this as a great victory, calling it "a win for safeguarding, solidarity and the power of the NEU trade union staff group". While many unions are obsessed with the issue of Palestine, the National Education Union (NEU), Britain's biggest teaching union, takes things to a whole different level from the top down.

Britain’s ‘godless’ university has become dogged by antisemitism:
Hostility at University College London shows no sign of abating, and extremist rhetoric is now rife in one of our elite institutions.
archive.ph/qvZ60 By @nicolelampert.bsky.social #antisemitism #academia
The persistent drumbeat of "anti-Zionism" turns quickly into overt bullying Jew hate on the campus, say some students. "In this hostile climate, many Jewish people only go on to university campus for their lectures," reveals Dov Forman, a third-year student who is also an activist against anti-Semitism. "I have Jewish friends who, even in this term, have left their student accommodation and gone back to live at home if they're from London, because of how kind of scared they feel. There's an Islamist and hard-left student bloc who are trying to terrorise Jewish students every single day." Forman continues: "Because Zionists are seen as inherently evil, Jews are too. Any Jewish student is fair game for these people. And if someone screams 'baby killer' at you, or 'From the river to the sea', the other students will stay silent. And I don't know if that is because they are scared or because they think it's fair game." The atmosphere of hostility permeates among some academics too. Jews are on the front line of a fight against Western values, says Joseph Mintz, a professor of inclusive education at UCL. There is this strain of progressive thinking which aligns with Islamism in its anti-Western positioning, and that sets a scene which makes anti-Semitism acceptable," he says. "In a way, universities are traducing the societies within which they're positioned. Anti-Semitism is one significant expression of that. We see this in UCL, but we see it across academia as a whole."| • A second Jewish professor, who asks not to be named, says: "I know that a lot of my colleagues don't agree with these extremist positions, but it's something they will only tell you in secret. There is literally no one who will come out publicly and say this is wrong."

Some media have been allowed in, I think they should allow more, but clearly it’s still a dangerous place.

The Israeli Supreme Court gave the government an extension in responding to a petition brought by journalists seeking access to the Gaza Strip, the ninth such delay since the case was filed in September 2024.
Israeli Ban on Media Entering Gaza Remains, as Legal Challenge Is Delayed
Israel’s top court gave the government further reprieve on a long-stalled petition seeking free access to Gaza. Critics say barring journalists denies the world a full picture of conditions there.

Calling for blood purity tests to prove Jewish existence. ALL JEWS ARE EQUALLY JEWS WHETHER BY BIRTH OR NATURALIZATION. Yes! Most Jews also share a direct bloodline connection to the Levantine populations who were there thousands of years ago. WE DO NOT PRACTICE BLOOD QUANTUM SO IT IS NOT RELEVANT.

I think the reason being an 'anti-zionist' has such a public relations problem is it seems to attract a lot of people who would traditionally be labelled as antisemites. So in that regard it's good to see Corbyn's new party tracking that misconception head-on.
