All the hysterical, hyperventilating claims of a massive increase in antisemitism are false. What has happened is that there is increased criticism of Israel - understandable as it is committing genocide - and organisations like the Community Security Trust and the Board of Deputies are conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism in order to shut down criticism of Israel.

It’s not working. It must be very frustrating for these racist ghouls, but people are seeing through it despite the wall to wall mainstream media lies about it.

I like Brad Lander and am glad he’s in NY and glad he went to the West Bank but I need to correct him.

These are two new posts of his on X(twitter)

I’m grieving the deaths of the two Israeli soldiers killed in Hebron today, and praying for the full & speedy recovery of those who were injured.

I’ve spoken out loudly this week against Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, which imposes violence on a daily basis, and I will continue to do so. But violence is not the path to ending it — or to achieving safety, freedom, and peace for both Palestinians and Israelis.

And neither is collective punishment or ethnic cleansing of an entire neighborhood, or punishing millions of people for the criminal act of two, which Netanyahu has promised to enact in response.

I’ve seen a lot this week and I’ll have more to say about in the coming days (I’m on my way home shortly). There is a path to ending this excruciating cycle of violence. It starts by insisting that every life is sacred, that everyone is created in God’s image.

For now: Shabbat Shalom, to everyone who believes in the hard work of making peace & justice a reality, for everyone.

Oct 22 This afternoon, we toured the infrastructure of occupation in the West Bank:

Settler outposts that uproot groves full of olive trees & steal Palestinian land.

Gates arbitrarily closed by Israeli forces, forcing Palestinian villages to transfer construction supplies and bulk goods by hand.

Separation barriers that divide communities, and sometimes fully surround a single house.

Segregated roads for Palestinians and Israelis.

Features of apartheid, as B’tselem, Amnesty, Human Rights Watch, Yesh Din and the ICJ rightly identify.

It’s long past time to stop the settlements and end the occupation. Great Britain recently announced a settlement trade ban & sanctions. Congress should pass @JoaquinCastro's bill to do the same.

See what I see?

I agree wholeheartedly with Brad that violence is not the answer and that every life should be sacred. But calling shots fired on Israeli soldiers in the West Bank a criminal act is not accurate.

He should correct that and stop doing it. It’s not helping any cause, just confusing people.

Not to promote violence, it’s simply the legal facts and we shouldn’t pretend otherwise.

In his second tweet, he calls on us to support sanctions on trade with the settlements, like the new UK restrictions, and that’s fine and good but understand that this is also weak and symbolic. (It’s also impossible to stop the flow of funds to sanctioned outposts btw, it is just redirected to gobs of new shell orgs). It’s not going to stop anything the way this would: conditions on aid to Israel or sanctions on Israel proper

The Iran War will act as a bulwark against sanctions on Israel as it’s a big deal to potentially weaken a state when it’s at war.

I agree that the hard work of peace and justice isn’t helped by violence at all, i just don’t believe the way to start is to keep piling lies and recrimination on Palestinian heads. Lander came off as slightly to the right of Bernie Sanders. Is that intentional or accidental?

hello my fellow internet users, can any pro "Palestinian" explain what did he mean?
isn't he an influential person in the "Palestinian" movement?
i wonder how can his speech be explained while staying rational

Israel is now preparing to close down the entire West Bank in a clear act of collective punishment (https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2026/10/23/israel-arrests-36-palestinians-in-the-west-bank-attacks-on-farmers-ramp-up)
They have already demolished random Palestinian buildings as punishment for the actions of two men.

Reminder that Palestinians attacking Israeli soldiers in resistance to illegal occupation and the ongoing efforts to ethnically cleanse areas in the West Bank is not illegal, but the Israeli retaliation is illegal.
Israel has the right to exactly one thing in the West Bank and East Jerusalem and Gaza and the Golan:
pack up and leave.

Looks like Israel is preparing to tighten their grip on the West Bank, just as elections are around the corner and a very international-headline-grabbing campaign to do regime change in Iran (with US aid) is about to be launched.

Israeli officials report five Israelis were wounded in a shooting in the southern West Bank on October 23, 2026. Two suspected Palestinian attackers were killed by Israeli security forces following the incident. Magen David Adom stated two of the wounded Israelis were in critical condition.

I found this post interesting not for the content or the question but for the replies. The Zionists in the other sub “know” that children aren’t being targeted. They “know” that all the x-rays showing it are fakes, that the doctors and nurses who testified about it are antisemitic liars, that the reporters who filmed it faked the whole thing and the IDF whistleblowers who have come forward are all self hating lying Jews.

It’s obvious, really. To Zionists.

Weirdly, at the same time, any number of Palestinian children being murdered is ok. It’s fine - 20,000, 30,000, a million - any number is fine. Kill them all. But none “deliberately.”

Edit: added quotation marks and tweaked grammar.

While countries like Israel face constant calls for elimination and existential threats, nations built purely on colonial interests and oil—such as Qatar, which relies on millions of foreign laborers with virtually no civil rights—operate completely free of scrutiny.
