On 7 April, the Rafi'-Nia synagogue in Tehran was completely destroyed by Israeli bombing. On 1 April, the Americans had bombed their own once and putatively future embassy compound, and while that may sound funny in view of the date, that attack broke the doors and windows of the nearby Orthodox church while collapsing the roof of its nursing home. On Tuesday, a nun working at the French School of Biblical and Archeological Research in the Old City of Jerusalem was beaten by one or more Israeli settlers, leaving her with this injury.
Zack Polanski, with whom I disagree about a lot, is being blamed for the attacks in Golders Green despite being the only Jewish Leader of a major political party, and despite the lack of evidence that those attacks had any motivation beyond the suspect's locally well-known psychosis. And on her Sky News ratings flop by comparison with The Mother of All Talk Shows in the same slot, Cathy Newman, as Establishment a journalist as one could possibly imagine, said of antisemitism that, "the rot in this country started under former Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn," as if there were another Jeremy Corbyn, thereby declaring open season on him, on the Left, and on opposition to the wars in Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, the West Bank, and who knows where else.
Damn right, enough is enough.
