    We’ve all seen the video of Tom Cotton asking the Singaporean CEO of TikTok Shou Zi Chew if he’s Chinese, right?

    At this point why is anyone taking Tom Cotton seriously?

    It ludicrous that people allow antisemitism to enter this debate and we would do well to remember the cynicism of those who are prepared to weaponise and deploy the slur.

    All you have to do is take any single protestor and look at what they were doing this time last year or the year before .

    They were busy boycotting nestle, or marching for BLM, or facing down the alt right, entirely unconcerned with Israel or Jewish people.

    They have been activated by Israel’s behaviour toward Gaza which is widely condemned by the United Nations and across the world

      I will keep repeating this because it needs to be repeated: I am Jewish. Being against Israel is not antisemitism. It’s Israel who wants you to think that.

    I believe we are witnessing a fascist takeover and it doesn’t matter who gets elected now.
