Human rights are universal - politicians may not always find them politically convenient but it shouldn’t fall to any gov’t to say who those rights should & should not apply to. If that happens than none of us has rights, just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want

Just so we're clear, one incident of alleged anti-semitism by a musician = a major national scandal that should be roundly condemned.
Multiple incidents of alleged anti-semitism from the man leading the race to run the country = a load of nothing that should be completely ignored
