“You’re Islamophobic.” “No, I’m not.” “You’re a fan of Tommy Robinson.” “No, I’m not.” “You’re unfair on the Church of England.” “No, I’m not.” A pleasure to chat to @edvaizey on @TimesRadio about my new book, 'Never Again? How the West Betrayed the Jews and Itself', today.

Iran. This regime is one of the most potent expressions of organised evil on Earth nitter.app/mahdinikkhah/status/18…

Has the BBC lost its mind?

I honestly don’t know what to say.

Amazing how they’ve suddenly found uniforms when there’s no danger

That video of seven Druze men marched into the street, forced to kneel, and executed to cries of “Allahu Akbar”. That’s a genocide. But nobody cares.

Hamas executes three Palestinians who criticised it online. I wonder what the campus types would say about this

OK guys, will everybody from a corrupt autocracy please leave the room before Israel’s speech? Thank you.

This team is heroic. Not only will they have to put up with barracking and abuse from the mob, there is a confirmed terror threat from Iran. Yet still they carry on. True courage for their country

The very first line of that nasty little @amnesty report. Very. First. Line.

New details. Male and female Israeli special forces, disguised as Arabs evacuated from Rafah, reportedly entered the Nuseirat market area of central Gaza in a white car with mattresses on the roof. They told locals they were renting in the building where the hostages were being held. Then they split into two teams and commenced the rescue.

The footage of Druze men being forced to jump off buildings is as haunting as the October 7 videos. Wish I hadn’t seen it, or the others.

Just when you think the Guardian couldn’t surprise you any more…

I don’t recognise Britain any more.

If this sea of union flags and Israeli flags carried by civilised, polite and peace-loving people doesn’t tell you which side is the right one, nothing will.

A few reflections on the march against antisemitism today, the biggest since the Battle of Cable Street. There was not a single masked face; not a single act of intimidation or vandalism; not a single call for death or genocide; not a single desecration of our monuments or statutes; and not a single bad-tempered interaction with the police. (I did however see a placard about chicken soup, one about Jewish mothers not being monsters, one asking people to become anti-Marmite rather than antisemite, and one declaring a desire for a Jewish husband, including a phone number.) It was all very good-humoured and moving. The police were there to protect those attending, not to defend society against them. Officers were all smiles and everything was smooth and easy. The @metpoliceuk was thanked at the end, as was the glorious @CST_UK. I especially valued seeing the proud Iranians there, flying their flags and standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Israel and Jews against fanatical jihadism and the theocratic regime in Tehran. Old Tommy Robinson was carted off shortly after he arrived, and good riddance. As the march got going, the atmosphere was at times quite quiet. We ordinary folk are not activists. We are not used to this sort of thing, did not have ready-made chants and felt a little embarrassed by raising our voices. When we did, however, we called for the release of the hostages, the prosecution of those guilty of hate crimes and peace. @Roxanna04749331 and I overcame our Englishness to lead several rounds of “bring them home.” We were slightly over-caffeinated. We sang traditional Jewish songs asserting the right of the people of Israel simply to live and calling for peace. One poignant sign read “I’m allowed to be proud of being Jewish,” as if the bearer was almost trying to convince himself. In Parliament Square, the statue of Winston Churchill stooped above us like an ally. There were many chants and songs for peace, repeated frequently and with much feeling. In the @chiefrabbi’s wonderful and moving speech, which stood out magnificently from the rest, he made it utterly clear that every innocent Palestinian death — fetishised by Hamas — is a tragedy. He made it clear that this was a war that Israel did not ask for or want, and we raised a universal prayer for peace. We did feel the absence of political support. It was wonderful to see @TomTugendhat, @RobertJenrick, @peterkyle and others, but there should have been so many more politicians standing up for Jews, including party leaders and front benchers. It was also baffling to see that while the @JLC_UK came out to bat, the @BoardofDeputies failed dismally to wholeheartedly support the rally. This shouldn’t have been controversial. It was a matter of fundamental British and Jewish values. But let’s not focus on the negatives. I can say with all confidence that not one of the 105,000 people there wished anything but peace and prosperity to Palestinians and Muslims. There were no hate chants, no calls for violence and absolutely no racism. If there were any extremists there, I didn’t see them and they were utterly insignificant in number. On the streets today were people from all backgrounds, religions and walks of life. There were many bobble hats. (Many excellent @JewishChron people.) This was unmistakably the silent majority finally discovering its voice. There was much camaraderie and good humour. One lady gave my step-daughter a yellow ribbon to demand the release of the hostages, and tied it into her hair. Many people recognised me and expressed their love and support. It was a unification of Jews and non-Jews alike, marching in favour of tolerance, freedom, liberalism and justice. And standing against jihadism. Great Britain: 105,000 of you turned up in the cold and wet today and did us bloody proud. We can all hold our heads a little higher tonight. Thank you @antisemitism, led by the heroic @gideonfalter, for organising such a powerful and historic moment. עם ישראלַ חי

This brave man gave his life to rescue the hostages today

Oh hello Hollywood star. Intending to menace a synagogue too?

While people in London shamefully march for the Ayatollah, in Berlin Iranians are out in force to support Israel and reject the regime

His father is a Muslim Arab. His mother is Jewish. Both are Israeli. His name is Adam Maraana, 21, and he served in the Israeli navy. He'll be swimming for his country in the Paris Olympics this week and he's had enough of your shit

Being an Israeli athlete at the Paris Olympics will take some real guts. I suspect the team will set an example of dignity and courage for a world that has lost the ability to see it.

The bravery of these players should make Britain hang its head in shame.

So 90% of Britons reject the idea of recognising Palestine. Yet Keir Starmer is only interested in the tiny majority of Muslim and hard-left voters who are threatening to abandon Labour. Weak and shameful. Totally unfit to lead our great country. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/09…

This is the most repellant thing I've seen in quite some time. Another national treasure gone.

This Hampshire pub responds to @DavidLammy today

Greta Thunberg refused to watch the footage of October 7 before she was deported. Closing her eyes to the reality? That says it all. (Full conversation in next tweet.)

Sometimes I seriously just don’t understand people

Suddenly Hamas is becoming Amsterdam’s problem

This event in London to mark the birthday of two-year-old hostage Kfir Bibas was disrupted by Hamas supporters. The absolute state of Britain

Unbelievable that it took the Guardian *103 days* to reach this conclusion. But will it be enough to convince its columnists?

Who can possibly explain “actual antisemitism” to Jews? For we are floundering in the darkness and know not where to turn. Step forward Owen Jones

I must have missed the part where Hamas dropped thousands of leaflets to warn Israeli civilians to vacate before October 7

This morning, I spoke to a friend in Gaza whom I had made during my time as a foreign correspondent. He telephoned me from his stifling tent in Deir al Balah, which had been donated by the Saudis. “Food is available, everything is available,” he told me. “Meat, chicken, vegetables. It is not aid. It is coming from Israel, brought in by private people through the Keren Shalom crossing and sold to us as a business. The prices are much better, just a little bit higher than before the war.” This was a relief, he added, as for seven months, Hamas had been stealing humanitarian aid and selling it to the population at exorbitant rates. Now, goods are being bought and sold as normal. Everybody he knows hates the jihadists with a passion, he remarked, scoffing at polls showing widespread support for the group in Gaza… Sometimes it seems that western progressives have more sympathy for Hamas and a greater alignment with its goals than those who have actually experienced jihadism in Gaza.

We know what that red triangle means in London. So should the police.

I’ve watched this a couple of times. It’s no exaggeration to say it’s one of the great speeches of our time. It would be wonderful if it was shown in every school and university. Bravo @RitchieTorres

I wonder if the Attorney General looks back on this and thinks, yeah maybe we should have locked him up nitter.app/kevinf567/status/19737…

There’s a word we need to start using: incitement. That’s what the media has been up to. That’s what our political leaders have been up to. Don’t give me your crocodile tears now, Starmer, Lammy and the rest.

This one detail tells you everything you need to know about Hamas

In Liverpool Street tonight, crowds are apparently celebrating the murder of elderly Jews. Makes you ashamed to be British. Via @TalOfer

This sailor spotted Greta Thunberg’s boat and switched on Hebrew songs at top volume 🤣

What a deplorable way to treat an innocent hostage being released. The Red Cross and international community should hang their heads in shame for standing by

My blood runs cold. This man is an MP

The moment this elderly man is hounded out, hand trembling, breaks my heart

These activists are the gift that keeps on giving. Made my day!

Wow. If you look carefully you can see Greta spotting the cameras and swiftly putting her hands behind her back to make it look like she’s been handcuffed

Me persuading the Blue Peter bloke not to blame Jews for antisemitism wasn't on my bingo card for 2025.

I’ve just witnessed stupidity on a scale I had never thought possible

That footage of Hamas murdering that poor father, maiming the kids then taking a drink from the fridge… it’s all over social media and it’s unbearable. Sometimes you just want to stop the world and get off!

Hamas was congratulating you last week mate.

If you hadn’t incited hatred with your constant smears of Israel, I’d take your words more seriously

Turns out Ayoub Khan, the Gaza MP who launched the campaign to ban Israeli fans from Birmingham, cast doubt on claims that women were raped on October 7. I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/10…

Quite the moment. @jconricus absolutely tears @Byoussef a new one. Almost painful to watch

List of shame: Lord Polak names and shames the 13 MPs who repeated the “14,000 babies” lie in parliament and have not retracted or apologised. They must all do so now, for the sake of the integrity of democracy

The @metpoliceuk have said that an imam who led a prayer for the destruction of Jewish homes "did not meet the threshold of a crime” in a decision that has baffled security experts. Just two weeks after Hamas’s massacre in southern Israel last year, a preacher at an east London mosque – located near a sizeable Jewish community – told his followers: "Oh Allah, curse the Jews and the children of Israel. Oh Allah, curse the infidels and the polytheists. "Oh Allah, break their words, shake their feet, disperse and tear apart their unity and ruin their houses and destroy their homes." A spokesperson for the Met has told the @JewishChron that "the entire sermon, including the wording, context and narrative have been reviewed and officers concluded that it does not meet the threshold of a crime". It comes after Essex Police prompted uproar over their decision to launch a criminal investigation into a tweet by @AllisonPearson... Read @lorintbc and @janeprinsley's story in full: thejc.com/news/imams-destroy…

She is mentally ill.

To be absolutely clear, if it emerges that the BBC knowingly paid Hamas, that is a criminal act under British counter-terror legislation. At this point, it is hard to see how Hamas did not receive the money, given they run the Strip. @metpoliceuk must urgently investigate.

And so it continues. Week after week. Total absence of enforcement from @metpoliceuk. I’m totally sick of it.

Gary Lineker has retweeted a call for Israel to be barred from international football. Could this be the same Lineker who pocketed £1.6 million from Qatar? And covered the World Cup there? Why, yes. Yes it is. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/01…

Don’t threaten us with cutting off your aid. It will not work. I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid. —Menachem Begin in 1982. Happy Chanukah 2023

London today: “We will continue to fight to the last drop of blood… until Palestine is free from the river to the sea.” What kind of society allows this genocidal incitement on its streets?

The most telling part of this truthful speech by @afneil is the absence of rightful applause from the audience. Says much about Britain

Spot on from @KemiBadenoch. Frankly, given the number of hate preachers who regularly come into Britain to spread their bile (often in other languages), we could learn a thing or two about controlling our borders from the Israelis.

People who called for Britain to stop selling arms to Israel: Anything to say?

A team of undercover soldiers (including several women dressed in hijabs and long black dresses) was sent into the Nuseirat refugee camp. Pretending to be two Gazan families looking for a large house in Nuseirat, they arrived in two cheap-looking old cars loaded with domestic items characteristic of those families displaced in the Strip, such as mattresses and clothing identical to those of the locals. When the residents of the Nuseirat camp asked the undercovers where they came from and what they were looking to do in Nuseirat, they replied that they had fled from Rafah due to "deadly shelling from the Israeli army", and decided to rent a house in the area. Then they pointed to the building where Noa Argamani was being held. They showed one of the locals a large amount of cash and offered to pay three times the going rate for rent. The local agreed to help and within three hours found a large house on the very street where Argamani was held. This was only 800 metres away from where the other three hostages were held. A few days later, after settling into the house and getting to know the area, including shopping at the local market, and realising that they did not arouse suspicion, the undercovers began their mission: verifying the location where the hostages were held. They split into two teams. One team consisted of two commandos, a man dressed as a typical Gazan local and a woman dressed in a long black dress and hijab. They began marching down the street towards the Al-Auda medical centre where, in a nearby residential building 200 metres from the hospital, Noa Argamani was held… Today the @JewishChron publishes probably the fullest account of the daring hostage rescue to date, including new insider information, from @Elonperry.

Queers for Palestine? Emily Damari’s sexuality was hidden while she was in captivity to protect her from even more abuse by Hamas. Here she is with her girlfriend Orel.

More snaps of the Oxford Hitler. Sadly not unusual at British universities these days.

So London had "from the river to the sea" projected onto Big Ben but didn't think it was worth bothering doing this.

Remember the London plumber who refused to serve “Zionists”? The @JewishChron tracked him down and knocked on his door. Turns out he was previously unwittingly involved in an Isis terror plot which saw his brother imprisoned. When questioned by our senior reporter, @felixpope_, the plumber doubled down, justifying his decision not to serve “Zionists” by claiming he was afraid of getting into a disagreement about his anti-Zionist views. He also defended Hamas, denied that mass rapes were committed on October 7, compared Israel to the Nazis and insisted that Palestinians had the “right to resist”.

Germany is being pulled about by the Ayatollah like a puppet on a string. Why can't the Chancellor find some backbone, stand up for democracy and oppose tyranny? It should be obvious, especially given German history.

October 7 wasn’t a “defeat”, @BowenBBC. It was a massacre of innocents. (HT @AnnabelDenham1)

Thanks London for not doing this. Great statement.

Meet hero shelf stacker Bruno Teixeira who used a broom to fight off the Golders Green knifeman. After a man pulled out a knife and threatened the staff and customers, the staff jumped into action.  Among them was Teixeira, a Portuguese father-of-one, who displayed incredible courage when he confronted the assailant using nothing but the wooden broom. He told the @JewishChron: "Nothing like this has ever happened while I've been at the shop. To pull out a knife is the most dangerous thing you can do. I couldn't believe it. “It’s not fair that he had a knife and other people had nothing. Then I saw the broom and, well it is just a broom, but I had to use it.” Fab reporting by @janeprinsley for the @JewishChron! Read the full story: thejc.com/news/uk/i-fought-o…
