I feel haunted and also traumatised about this cold bloodied racist murder.We must show solidarity against hate and such vile racism.

The @brexitparty_uk – and indeed politicians of all stripes – should stay far away from this show which has hosted Holocaust deniers, praised antisemites and has links to the notorious connoisseur of antisemitic conspiracy theories, David Icke.

Education option is a “get out of jail card free” for serious cases of antisemitism.
Labour`s recent disciplinary sanction matrix shows there was no intention to discipline members for all serious cases of antisemitism.#EnoughIsEnough @BoardofDeputies

Labour has a very long way to go if it is to persuade the Jewish community that today`s messaging is not just cosmetic.
Below is the minimum list of steps Labour need to take to even begin to address the antisemitism scandal of the last 3.5 years #EnoughIsEnough @BoardofDeputies

My letter in the @JewishChron with @JLC_uk and @CST_UK colleagues condemning Katie Hopkins' vile film.
In a joint letter in the @JewishChron today, with @JLC_uk & @CST_UK, we repeat our condemnation of Katie Hopkins' vile, Muslim-baiting film, and say: "Jewish support for far-right activists is morally wrong, politically self-defeating and historically unforgiveable."
The Labour Party know they are under investigation by the EHRC yet continue to appoint a new Head of Membership, who just shared a video saying all antisemitism was a smear.The reply “We do not comment on staffing matters” is a big V sign to the Jewish community @BoardofDeputies
Every time we think things cannot get any worse in the Labour Party a new low appears. Is Jules Rutherford seriously starting as Head of Membership on Monday @BoardofDeputies @PolhomeEditor
Thank you so much Hannah for your leadership and all you have done for UJS and the community @UJS_PRES
Thank you to @UJS_PRES for a fantastic year on campus - it's been a real pleasure working with you. It was great to meet @EstherOffenberg and we're looking forward to your year in office!
Labour MP Chris Williamson suspended again over anti-Semitism row - BBC News
Apparently,the whip is not restored to Chris Williamson ..... no doubt only because of the public outrage. His re-admittance was a blatant V sign to the Jewish community. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-4…
I have written to Jeremy Corbyn today about his foreword endorsing John Hobson's book which contains clear antisemitism.
The British public is entitled to know how he accounts for his actions. We expect a full explanation.

.@BoDPres: Overnight we learnt that one of those caught up in the shooting, Lori Gilbert Kaye, died as a heroine, putting herself between the shooter & one of the rabbis. 1/2
.@BodPres: Devastated to hear of a shooting incident at a Chabad Synagogue in San Diego, with multiple injuries. One arrest had been made. As details emerge, our thoughts are with the Jewish community in San Diego.
