This week’s main story is about Benjamin Netanyahu, his time in and out of power in Israel, the extreme voices he’s allied with in his country, and one nifty trick to get John Oliver to do whatever you say. You have to watch the show to find out what it is, but yes, of course it involves horses.

If you already mentioned Marie Antoinette, here a photo from a demo we held when Milchen gave evidence in Netanyahu's trial, and the Psi-Ho-Lo-Git invited herself to Brighton to sit in the court room, you know, like you see in mafia movies.

There’s still time to sign our letter to the Prime Minister - the government needs to know that many British Jews support an end to the the horrific war in Gaza & want an immediate return of all hostages.

We wholeheartedly support the UK government decision to sanction extremist ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich.

Last year hundreds of British Jews & Israelis in the UK wrote to the British PM calling for sanctions against these ministers.

(1/4) It’s almost impossible to grasp - it has been 600 days since 7 October.
58 hostages remain in Gaza. At least 20 are alive, their bodies and minds breaking down.

Apparently, according to @lsepress.bsky.social Hamas only need some "understanding" and they suffer from "vilification" and branded "terrorists" after the "events" of October 7.
Poor freedom fighters... 🤦‍♂️

1/3 The investigation into Eli Feldstein, a spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office, along with several others from the PMO, revolves around serious allegations of breach of security and life endagerment as well as attempts to manipulate public opinion against a hostage deal.

בזמן שמנהלים דיונים על היועמ״שית, על פצצות התאורה, על אלי פלדשטיין, על הסכם הפסקת האש בצפון, על טראמפ, על בן גביר ועל חוק הגיוס – יש עדיין 101 ישראלים בשבי החמאס בעזה. חלקם בחיים.

Eli Feldstein, Netanyahu’s spokesperson, is accused of releasing a classified document to foreign media to sway public opinion in Israel, linking anti-government protests to support for Hamas.

The concern that Israel is committing ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza is quite severe. The IDF has removed tens of thousands of people from Jabalia, Beit Lahiya, and Beit Hanoun. The question is, will they be allowed to return to their homes?

Israeli police destroyed the Bedouin mosque at Umm al-Hiran. This is disgraceful. These people have shared our suffering on October 7, served in the IDF. Why are we doing this to them? There is plenty of room in the Negev to build Jewish settlements.

‘I don’t care who’s president there. I just want my kids to survive in Gaza’
Decrying Biden’s catastrophic legacy, Gazans harbored little hope for a Harris presidency — but they’re not enthused about Trump’s second term either.

As Israelis and British Jews who value democracy and human rights, we believe it is critical for the UK to make a strong and unequivocal statement against extremism and sanction Ben Gbit and Smotrich. Email your MP and ask for their support 👇
Tell the British Gvt: Sanction Ben Gvir & Smotrich NOW

These extremists at the heart of the Israeli gvt want to empty northern Gaza of Palestinians & resettle it.

PM Keir Starmer has already said he’s considering it but he must act now.
