Stephen Gray gave nearly 30 years to Cleveland Police. He and his wife foster children. At 65 he has a criminal record because he reposted a meme. The post said: “Fun facts about bacon! People who eat bacon have a lower chance of marrying a 9-year-old!” He told the court it was satire, pointed at the traditional account of Muhammad’s marriage to Aisha, and meant to start an argument about child marriage. A district judge called it “grossly offensive,” said the jokey tone meant it could not be a serious point, and fined him a bit over £1,000. The Crown Prosecution Service first said there was no case. A neighbour he was already rowing with over a sewage pipe asked for a review. Then there was a case. England abolished blasphemy in 2008. It has not abolished the habit. A man who spent his working life enforcing the law can now be branded a criminal for a Facebook repost that hundreds of other people shared and walked away from. That is not public order. That is a state that has decided some facts are too awkward to joke about, and some people are too ordinary to protect. Stephen Gray is appealing. He should not have to. We now live in a totalitarian state.

Holding an anti-Israel rally on October 7 is like holding a pro-Nazi rally on Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Goed interview met de Israëlische president @Isaac_Herzog. Hij heeft groot gelijk. De Nederlandse regering (dus ook de VVD) moet zich kapot schamen 👇

3 years ago my husband and I woke up to a nightmare in Tel Aviv. The videos coming through, the phone calls we received and the rockets starting from gaza and Lebanon. I'll never ever forget the darkness of that day and every day afterwards. I'm Irish, not Israeli, and I still felt the hurt that Israelis felt. I will never ever forget what they did to peaceful people and I will NEVER forgive them. Stay strong Israel 🇮🇪🇮🇱

A Statement of Conscience on October 7 I will not start by saying ‘as a Muslim’ or ‘as an imam’, but as a human being. On October 7, over 1,200 innocent people were killed in a single day. Families were shot in their homes. Young people out dancing were hunted across open fields. Over 250 people, including children and the elderly, were dragged into Gaza as hostages. I think of a mother hiding in a safe room with her baby’s mouth covered. I think of a father listening as the line went quiet. I think of families who waited month after month for someone to come home, only to receive a coffin. I didn’t need my faith to recognize the evil of what happened. My heart told me first. But I’m a Muslim and an imam, and I owe the world one honest sentence: what was done that day was a crime against God. God teaches that whoever kills one innocent soul, it is as if he had killed all humanity. This day has an author: Yahya Sinwar. He planned it, ordered it, and knew what would follow. Every death of that day and war he started rests on him and Hamas leaders who sat in tunnels and foreign hotels and called slaughter a victory. It rests on every Palestinian leader who cheered, excused, handed out sweets, or said nothing. They chose this. They own it. But Sinwar did not invent himself. He was the fruit of a tree planted almost a century ago by the Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas named itself in its founding charter as the Brotherhood’s branch in Palestine. The Brotherhood’s poison is slow. It arrives through study circles, youth camps, charity boxes, and kind words to lonely young men. Drop by drop, it teaches him that his religion is a political party, his neighbour is his enemy, the Jew is the cause of his sorrow, and God is pleased by rage. By the time the gun arrives, the soul is already taken. I have seen this poison in mosques where sermons became rallies and young men could recite slogans but not sit still for a verse on mercy. Every people that let the Brotherhood in has paid in blood and ruined generations. It has never built anything it did not first set on fire. Behind Hamas stands another hand: the IRGC. It was the IRGC’s money, weapons, and training that turned a hateful idea into an army. One calls itself Sunni and the other Shia, and they may curse each other’s creeds, but they are united in what they worship. It is not God. It is power. The same IRGC that armed the killers of October 7 shoots Iranian girls for showing their hair, hangs young men for asking to be free, and has left graves from Tehran to Damascus to Beirut. They speak in God’s name. So did Pharaoh speak in the name of heaven. So let me say this clearly. Hamas and the IRGC are not merely enemies of Islam. That would be too small a charge, as if their crime were only against us. They are enemies of God. God is the Giver of life, yet they deal in death. God calls Himself the Most Merciful, yet they have made cruelty a sacrament. God honoured the children of Adam, yet they look at a child and see a target or a shield. To murder what God created and sign His name to it is the oldest blasphemy. And we Muslims have been too quiet. Some of us were afraid. Some told ourselves it was not our business. Some, God forgive them, felt something other than horror that morning and never confessed it. Silence was the soil this poison grew in. I will not add to it. So on this anniversary, let us say plainly what our scripture already says. The Jews are not our enemies. They are our cousins in Abraham, and their dead were created by the same God who created us. Today belongs to them: the murdered, the hostages, and families who still set a place at the table. To them I say: I am sorry for what was done to you by men who used the words of my prayers. You’re not alone in your grief or remembrance. The enemies of God are those who murder in His name. We know their names. It is time we said them from our own pulpits, in our own voices, before they speak for us again. Imam Tawhidi

Moeilijke draad: met een aantal collega’s vanmorgen op de Israëlische ambassade de ongecensureerde beelden gezien van de terreuraanslag door Hamas op 7 oktober. Beelden van gopro’s en cellphones van de terroristen, dashcams en beveiligingscamera’s. Dit is nodig omdat 7 oktober alweer uit het blikveld van de media en publieke opinie is verdwenen. Ik heb veel gezien in mijn leven, ben in oorlogen geweest, maar dit is een ander level van horror, alleen te vergelijken met de gruwelen gepleegd door IS en de nazi-beulen. 45 minuten afgrijselijke beelden van een ware slachtingsorgie: van het vermoorden en verbranden van baby’s, kinderen, hele gezinnen en vriendengroepen, bejaarden. En telkens die kreet, in triomf: "Allahu Akbar!" De jubelende terroristen, euforisch als ze weer een kind afschieten. Bellend met hun ouders, huilend van vreugde: "Mam, ik heb er eigenhandig tien gedood! Hun bloed zit nog aan mjn handen!" Dit vergeet ik nooit meer: twee broertjes en hun vader, nog in ondergoed want het is 's ochtends vroeg, rennen naar een schuilplaats, schreeuwend van angst. Een terrorist gooit een granaat. De vader sterft ter plekke, de jongetjes komen in paniek tevoorschijn uit hun schuilplaats: ‘Pappa, pappa!’ De terroristen duwen hen het huis in. De ene jongen in shock: ‘’Pappa is dood, ik denk dat wij ook gaan sterven.” Zijn broertje kan met 1 oog niet meer zien: ‘’Ik zie niks”, roept hij. Zijn broer bekommert zich om hem, valt dan op de grond, huilt: ,,God, waarom leef ik nog?”, terwijl een terrorist de koelkast plundert. Waar zijn die jongetjes nu? In Gaza, gegijzeld, rouwend en in doodsangst? Een ieder die zegt 'ja, maar ...' verdient een plek in de diepste krochten van de hel. Oh ja, ook de NOS was uitgenodigd, maar de redactie liet niks horen.

The coach of Ireland's soccer team wants the UEFA to prevent future games against Israel because, as he said, “I wouldn’t wish any national team to go through what we have gone through these two weeks." This privileged prick hasn't been through a shred of what any Israeli has been through over the past three years. You coach a soccer team. Get a fucking grip on reality.

Ik geloof gewoon echt mijn ogen niet. Als dit zonder gevolgen blijft, is alles toegestaan. Wie dit zo schaamteloos verkondigt, staat voor mij gelijk aan de beesten die het uitvoerden. Weet je wat proportioneel is, Ouariachi? Als je stikt in die fokking watermeloen van je

I’m a lapsed Catholic and believe in the national self determination of the Jewish people in the Land of Israel. I’m an Englishman who believes Israel is a good friend and ally with remarkable people. I’m a dad and grandad who believes the tyrannical regime in Iran getting nukes ain’t gonna be good for anybody’s future. I’m a journalist who was fired for challenging the BBC on their dangerous news coverage of the Hamas atrocities and Israeli response. I’m ashamed of my country and its government for the weak response to the pogrom of October 2023, I’m horrified as to what my former party, Labour has become

'Irish people rightly objected when IRA atrocities were used to smear every Irish citizen. Yet the Irish team has now participated in precisely that kind of collective stigmatization against Israelis ...It carries the unmistakable stench of antisemitic exclusion.' @dfatirl
Opinion: Before a ball was kicked, the Irish football team lost something more important than the game. They surrendered the sportsmanship that makes international competition possible and the moral seriousness their protest purported to display. jpost.com/opinion/article-91…
