  • Mar.27.2018: Man jailed for life after running over Muslim woman in Leicester. Paul Moore, 21, attempted to kill Zaynab Hussein as ‘revenge’ for terrorist attacks in London. A man has been jailed for life for ramming his car into one woman and trying to hit a schoolgirl in a series of Islamophobic hate crimes he intended as a retaliation for terrorist attacks carried out by Islamist extremists in the UK. Kevin Rawlinson, The Guardian.

Antisemitism

  • Sept.03.2018: The IHRA definition of antisemitism is a threat to free expression. It is vital Labour tackles this crisis head-on – but not at the expense of its members’ solidarity with the Palestinian people. former prime minister Gordon Brown has urged the party to incorporate the IHRA definition and 11 examples into its rulebook “unequivocally and immediately”, as has Unite’s general secretary Len McCluskey. It has been reported that Jon Lansman, founder of Momentum and previously a prominent supporter of the proposed NEC code of conduct, has since been lobbying the Labour leadership for full adoption (it should be noted that Momentum itself has not taken a position either way). Full adoption of IHRA in the name of anti-racism is a self-defeating enterprise. Ash Sarkar, The Guardian.
  • Feb.14.2018: George Soros and the roots of antisemitism. The row over the Jewish financier’s opposition to Brexit exposes the ugliness at the heart of nationalist populism. For centuries and in almost every country, there has thrived the idea that Jewish conspirators are behind all the ills of the world. In the early 20th century, a fabricated document called The Protocols of the Meetings of the Learned Elders of Zion was published in Russia and soon circulated all over the world. {more ..} Daniel Finkelstein, The Times.
  • Aug.04.2014: The antisemitic traditions of the Tory Party. Leftwing antisemitism is anything but a new phenomenon, says Daniel Hannan. The same could be said of Hannan’s own side of the political divide. Dashing through the Reich, killing lots of Kike; that particularly loathsome couplet forms one line in a catchy little number reportedly popular at Oxford University Conservative Association piss-ups a few years ago. Hannan's tactic is to select sayings from any long-dead arbitrarily-chosen individuals that come to hand, including ideologically eclectic oddballs who could just as easily be pegged as rightists rather than leftists, and then sit back and chalk up QED. The most he can hang on us is that a bunch of unknown Occupy activists have been filmed regurgitating Jewish banker conspiracy theory nonsense on homemade placards, while an obscure pro-Chavez Venezuelan publication of which nobody had previously ever heard once ran a dodgy article. What is more, the same methodology could just as well be applied to Hannan’s own side of the political divide. For most of the previous century, the Conservative Party harboured not just antisemitic individuals at the highest levels, but organised antisemitic currents among its rank and file. ... ... If you want chapter and verse on antisemitism in 1930s Toryism – not to mention its frequent overt enthusiasm for fascism – look no further than Richard Griffiths’ excellent 1980 book "Fellow Travellers of the Right". To take just one example – and there are many, many more – Conservative MP Archibald Maule RamsayWikipedia-W.svg headed an explicitly antisemitic organisation that went by the name of the Right ClubWikipedia-W.svg. That’s right, Daniel; the Right Club, not the Left Club. Its aims were to ‘oppose and expose the activities of organised Jewry’, including alleged Jewish control of the Conservative Party. As even sympathetic reviewers point out, biographers of future prime minister Harold Macmillan show up the man’s almost casual antisemitism. Nor is Tory antisemitism entirely ancient history. As late as 1982, the oafish and odious Alan ClarkWikipedia-W.svg was confiding in his diaries about the sport to be had by indulging in public Jew-baiting during the ennoblement of Sidney BernsteinWikipedia-W.svg, who declined to take the Christian oath. David Osler, Left Foot Forward.

  • Feb.07.2018: Turns Out the First British People Were Actually Black. A DNA sample from a 10,000-year-old skeleton discovered in Gough Cave near Cheddar Gorge, England, offers a remarkable revelation: the first modern British people had “dark brown to black skin.” According to recent analysis, they also had dark curly hair and blue eyes. In other words, whiteness in Europe is a much newer thing than we thought. Gizmodo, Adam Clark Estes
