On @GBNEWS was making point that desecrating war memorials during pro-Palestinian marches is not legitimate political protest. It is intimidation and criminality - and shows utter contempt for those who sacrificed their lives for this country.

Today, an Israeli child was killed and several injured when an unexploded Hezbollah cluster munition detonated during a school trip. Had Palestinian children been killed by Israeli ordnance in Gaza, imagine the @bbcnews coverage. But this tragedy? Not even a mention.

What does this memorial have to do with the stupid free Palestine thugs, nothing, it just shows how totally ignorant and stupid they are
Disgraceful. Absolutely shameful 💔 The Free Palestine movement destroyed wreaths and a tribute to the fallen at the Battle of Britain memorial in London today. We can’t go on like this. Via @HeidiBachram Photo by @jeffrey_Tekkers

part 2 @GaryBarlow songs are great. This theatre is in the round+ the way they did the scenes of the ladies when representing their months was so tasteful + clever, thank you #Director Paul Robinson for creating this show.

Part 1 just been to the @octagontheatre to see a brilliantly amazing production of 'Calendar Girls, the musical. It was such a great show, the cast were just so perfect in their parts, especially the 3 teenagers. It was funny, happy with a little bit of sad.

I have to take a moment from my son’s bedside, on life support after being struck by a Palestinian terrorist, to respond to the dangerous lies being spewed by @NYCMayor. It’s actually hard to find a sentence in Mamdani’s post that isn’t a lie. Paying lip service to the victims of October 7 just to spread blood libels about Israel might play nicely to the red-green/communist-Islamist alliance that he promotes in the U.S, but those of us who know better see his perverted language for what it is. This man is a defender of Palestinian terrorism, a promoter of antisemitism, and an advocate of anti-Americanism. Even today, October 7, he can’t help but attack the Jewish state with absurd accusations and outright propaganda. Let’s be clear: the only attempted genocide in this conflict was perpetrated by the barbarians he supports, Hamas, who butchered, raped, and murdered in the most horrific ways imaginable. There is no genocide, ethnic cleansing, or famine in Gaza. Hamas embeds itself among, behind, and beneath the people of Gaza, knowing that the IDF will not, ever, intentionally target civilians. It robs its own people of the humanitarian aid that Israel has facilitated into Gaza since the war began. Hamas knows that its allies, including Zohran Mamdani, will regurgitate its lies, demonizing Israel and endangering Jews everywhere. Israel and its allies will not be deterred from defending civilization against terrorist savagery. Those of us who envision a peaceful and prosperous Middle East, will root out the evil that is Islamic terrorism and build a better future for all, Jew and Arab alike. If you want to understand the extent of the lies told by Mamdani and his radical Islamic commrades, you can read the truth in my book, “Manufacturing a Modern Blood Libel,” here: linktr.ee/israelinusa.

Meet Oz Davidian. On the morning of October 7, as the massacre at the Nova festival unfolded, Oz heard that young people were trapped and desperately needed help. He got into his pickup truck and drove toward the killing. Oz knew the fields and back roads from years of farming in the area. He found terrified people hiding and running for their lives, loaded as many as he could into his truck, and drove them to safety. Then he went back. And back again. Fifteen times, Oz drove into danger to search for strangers he could save. By the end of that day, he had rescued approximately 120 people. Later, Oz said he cried.. not for what he had done, but for the people he couldn’t save. Heroic only begins to describe the actions of this man.

Some of you will be going to London today to celebrate the mass murder by Hamas of 1,200 men, women and children, even babies. You know what they did, you know how they did it, and yet you're still going to celebrate it. Today of all days. I don't know how you can live with yourselves. What has so gone wrong in your lives that that you could possibly use to excuse the depths of depravity you're celebrating? You're not wired up properly, you really aren't.

For the Palestine flag shaggers marching today : 364 other days, and you chose the anniversary of the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. A day of mourning. The Met begged you to move it. Now it says it can't stop you. You couldn't let them have even that. Shame on you all. 🇮🇱

Students chose today – the three-year anniversary of Hamas’ terrorist attacks – to march against Israel. So we decided to show them what actually happened on that day. Not everyone wanted to see it. Full video coming later.

Andy Burnham has said he stands with British Jews and that violence against the Jewish community will not be tolerated on the anniversary of the October 7 attack…. So ban today’s march. Scrap your gesture policies towards Israel that have no meaningful impact on that country but fuel antisemitism in the UK. And declare that you will never enter into a coalition with the Greens. No quite so easy to stand up for Jews after all, is it?

Three years ago on October 7, the world changed for Jews across the world when we saw a massacre in Israel carried out by terrorists. On October 8, the world changed for me. Just a day after those horrific attacks we saw just how many people still hold abhorrent views and turn a blind eye to Islamist extremism. Three years on, the Conservative Party must be clear: We stand with British Jews. We will confront antisemitism and we have the moral clarity to know who our allies are - and Israel is one of them.

If the Mayor of London can’t bring himself to remember the over one thousand victims of the 7th October atrocity without criticising the Israeli Government, and cannot talk about antisemitism in his city without referring to Gaza, then he may as well not say anything at all. Given his tenure has been characterised by inaction and conspicuous absence as the Jewish community has suffered the worst antisemitism in living memory on his watch, for him to say nothing now would be perfectly in character. His statement is worse than nothing. Our representative polling shows that 85% of British Jews are dissatisfied with London Mayor’s performance in relation to the Jewish community since 7th October 2023. This statement will do nothing to improve that standing.

Just read the Oct 7 statement of @MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan Hey Sadiq. You're a disgrace. When London was bombed look at what we did to Germany. That is how a nation defends itself and wins wars. You call Israeli actions "reprehensible"? You Jew-hating, ignorant, coward.

🔴 BREAKING British Jews threatened with arrest in London by the Police on October 7th while marking vigil for the victims of the massacre while Free Palestine (clearly Pro-Hamas in my opinion) protestors are allowed to march. Absolutely disgusting. Via @GBNEWS

Among the 1,200 men, women and children slaughtered on October 7 were hundreds at the Nova Festival - ironically a celebration of peace, music and life. Surely there should be a deluge of tributes to those innocent festival goers from A-list actors, musicians, artists and other creatives. So where are they?? Don’t leave it all to the heroic @BoyGeorge George.

Part 2 I will say a prayer for peace + safety in a world I no longer recognise. And I will choose to stand tall, proud of my Jewish identity. I don’t think any UK tv’s you can find ‘We will dance again’ on bbc iplayer + several documentaries on Amazon if you search ‘7 Oct 2023
Part 1 3 years ago today 1000’s of young people were at a music festival. Families were sleeping, it was a time of peace but at 6.29 the following morning everything changed +1200 people massacred. We remember them all with deep
