Complete and utter weirdos. Who thinks it is in any way appropriate to protest outside a representative body of British Jews on the anniversary of the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.

Today we remember the victims of the October 7 massacre – the killing of innocent Israeli people, the torture, mutilation, rape and kidnapping, parading of the dead, the wanton cruelty and the depraved celebrations of murder, the gleeful delight in brutality, the degeneracy of its perpetrators and supporters. It is a day that stands out for its unparalleled sadism and nihilism. The scale of the killing of people of all sorts, all races, Jewish and Arab and others, is unequalled in a single day in modern times. It was the greatest murder of Jewish people since the Holocaust. Its cruelty and barbarism seem to belong to cruel times long ago – this was a lurch back to the raids and slaughters of the Mongols or the Huns - but it is unique too in its 21stcentury hi-tech modernity: it was filmed live by its perpetrators and other cameras and so unlike any other atrocity in all of human history, its details are beyond question. It is the most documented butchery and sadism ever perpetrated – and therefore the reactions to it are simply the clearest and most unequalled test of humanity available to us, reactions that will be remembered in the future. It was also a crime against peace: its effects were utterly destructive for Israelis but also for Palestinians and the innocent people across the whole region who perished in the wars it unleashed. More than that, it was an atrocity against humanity itself - and the humanist values that mark all decent people, the values of liberal, free, kind societies and communities everywhere. Its effects were utterly destructive for Israelis but also for the Palestinians and the rest of the region. Today we remember those who died, those who were wounded, those who were kidnapped, tortured, raped and killed in the tunnels of Gaza, those who lost friends and compatriots. It was a crime of annihilation to launch the liquidation of an entire people and nation, to kill and torture Israelis and Jews. Am Yisrael Chai.

Thinking today of all killed & injured at the Nova festival but particularly of Erick & Ruth Peretz. Ruth had cerebral palsy & learning disability & loved music so Erick her Dad would lift her from her chair & dance with her. When the terrorists came Erick was last seen running with Ruth in his arms. (Pictured here with Yamit Peretz who survived only as she had left the festival earlier.)

Among those murdered on 7 October were British and British-Israeli citizens. We will remember 7 October. We will remember those we lost. And we will never forget those who stood with us.

Today is the time to remember all those murdered, brutalised, taken hostage on October 7th.

Today marks three years since October 7th 2023 - the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. On that day, Hamas terrorists unleashed a wave of barbaric violence, murdering more than 1,200 innocent men, women and children, and taking 251 people hostage. We remember all those murdered. May their memory be a blessing.

7 October. Thinking of aĺl the victims tortured & murdered three years ago. The extreme violence towards women confirmed the misogyny at the heart of Islamist terror. Solidarity with British Jews on this terrible anniversary.

Zionism is both historic and spiritual; the ancient connection of the Jewish people to the land of Israel and their right to self-determination in their historic homeland. I am British by birth, belonging and love; Jewish by inheritance, memory and faith. Britain is my country. Israel is not a competing loyalty, it is the homeland of the Jewish people to which I am bound by ancestry, memory and identity. For millions of Jews, that is the heart of Zionism. Not supremacy, dispossession or the killing of Palestinians and not a colonial claim to a foreign land but the self-determination of a people with an ancient and continuous connection to it. In practice, it must mean two peoples entitled to self-determination both living in security and freedom with neither people’s future purchased with the lives, rights or humanity of the other. That is why declaring “Zionism is racism” is not merely wrong, it tells most Jews that their understanding of their own history, identity and collective freedom is itself morally suspect. The Greens should ask themselves whom they are trying to please by adopting a slogan that turns Jewish self-determination into a moral stain. If your politics of inclusion requires millions of Jews to renounce a central part of their history and identity before they qualify for your solidarity, it isn’t inclusion. You are telling Jews: you may belong here but only if you disown Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people. That is not anti-racism. It is imposing a political test on Jews that no genuinely progressive movement would dream of imposing on any other minority.

This beautiful family, kidnapped and murdered by evil terrorists.

This is a sickness

Omg thanks for ending the meeting 4 minutes early and "giving me some time back" now I can finally pursue my passions.

EXCL: The lead author of the Zionism is racism motion was identified in US court filings as a 'close friend' of a convicted al-Qaeda terrorist who plotted a suicide bomb attack at Heathrow Airport

Wow. @Ross_Greer on @BBCRadioScot states clearly that ‘Zionism is racism’. The Jewish community in Scotland will be appalled by this. No mainstream political party in Scotland should now have anything to do with the extremist anti-Semitic @scottishgreens.

If Labour want proportional representation, who are they planning on entering coalition government with then now the Greens have gone totally nuts? Surely Lab-Lib Dems not enough.

Listen carefully to the author of the Green Party motion. Listen as she describes the need to hunt Zionists in every country, using force. This is a racist, extremist party now.

What does it mean to say that Zionism is racism? It means relate to Zionists as you relate to Nazis. But don't forget you should find out if the Jew you have in mind is Zionist; if they repeat your scripted confession, they can have exceptional status and be treated as human.

It seems as if Manchester Life - the favourite property contractor of Andy Burnham and Manchester Labour - is paying some very high ‘admin expenses’ to off-shore companies on its huge rent receipts here. The effect of this is, of course, to limit the amount of tax paid in the UK.

Those of you who have, like me, knocked about on the Left for years, will recognize many of the anti-Zionists who have turned up in the GP. The same names and faces expelled from the Labour party, ex UCU activists, soixante-huitards from IS. There are new recruits but also the odd notorious Antisemite. This will be a victory night for them. And a devastating night for environmentalism
