Britain's pathetic Jewish leadership
Today I heard that a couple of brave supporters of Israel (Jonathan Hoffman and Damon Lenszner) were issued with arrest warrants under clearly trumped-up charges of assault. Although the warrants were subsequently rescinded they still have to appear in court in June. Anybody who, like these two, has attended demonstrations where the Israel haters are around will know that all of the intimidation and violence comes from the other side. And the Police and CPS routinely turn a blind eye to it such as when a Jewish lady in her 60s was brutally assaulted in October 2018.
Jonathan and Damon deserve the full support of the Jewish community - especially those in positions of influence who claim to be fighting antisemitism. I was hoping to find some words of support from such people today, but instead we got exactly the opposite in the form of a despicable headline in the Jewish Chronicle (which was only changed after several hours). Meanwhile, those of influence in the Jewish community are, as usual ignoring this story of Jews in genuine need of support and instead batting for the opposition under the GUISE of fighting antisemitism. For example, we have the Board of Deputies accusing friends who use the term 'cultural marxism' of being antisemites; and similarly we have people like Simon Myerson QC accusing friends who use the term 'Soros money' of being antisemites (I had a twitter exchange with this pompous jerk this morning over this).
It is hardly surprising therefore that, despite all the publicity about antisemitism in the UK, the level of antisemitism (and especially that based around lies about Israel) continues to increase. Lavishly funded organisations like the Board of Deputies now simply pay lip service to their duty to fight antisemitism and support Israel. While they have abdicated their responsibility in favour of political correctness and fighting 'Islamophobia', it is left to heroic individuals like Jonathan and Damon to defend Israel on the streets, Harry Markham in Universities and David Collier to do the in-depth research exposing antisemites.
It is also very sad to report that even Rachel Riley - who has been brilliant in exposing and challenging genuines antisemites - has jumped on to the politically correct bandwagon of assuming that anybody critical of Soros or supportive of Tommy Robinson is a racist. She is now spending her time trying to get companies to boycott advertising on sites that she calls 'fake news'. While one of the sites targeted (the Canary) is a genuinely antisemitic site -most of the others seem to be conservative pro-Israel sites like Rebel Media and TR.News. It's an appalling censorship route to go down. It is especially ironic that she is using BBC articles to 'prove' some of these sites are 'fake news' sites on the basis that they have at some point published a 'fake news' story.

I know about the excellent work of Hoffman and Collier. But who is Harry Markham and what does he do in relation to the universities?
