Paul Blomfield (Lab) asks whether Johnson will commit to paying NHS workers more. Johnson says the government has given £3.2bn to local authorities to fight infection, introduced a living wage and “increased it by the biggest ever amount”. A master of non sequiturs today. Why not just say no and be...

I think you have missed the point SH2. Bush's entire justification of why her article was anti-semitic (although he does not really given any plausible explanation, this is almost mentioned in passing), it that it criticises Israel (via a criticism of their security force's tactics). Bush then notes...

No, it is you who need to have something explained to you. To equate Israel and Jews is anti-Semitic in itself, according to the IHRA working definition of anti-Semitism. Any extrapolation of what was written in that article about Israeli "secret service tactics" to mean something about Je...

GetYou

Incidentally, I do not think this is a "crystal clear example of an anti-semitic trope". This is a suggestion that the tactics used by the Israeli defense forces were taught to American police forces. To extrapolate from criticism of Israeli defence force tactics to something anti-semitic ...

GetYou

The dispute appears to focus on whether or not the Israeli forces taught neck kneeling as a tactic during the seminars, which they have explicitly denied.

It's also typical for the entire UC project. Poorly specified, ignored expert concerns throughout, and terribly implemented. And, of course, defended to the hilt by every disgusting mouth piece they have put forward.
