- I’ve published my talk from last night’s online Holocaust Memorial Day panel organised by Stand Up To Racism. I focused on three events of 1936 of anti-fascist resistance that had a bearing on what happened later. rebellion602.wordpress.com/2026/01/29/b...
- “Fascism’s violent ethno-nationalism, authoritarianism terror and gangsterism can arise anywhere” and we must resist it everywhere! Statement from the Jewish Socialists’ Group on Holocaust Memorial Day. www.jewishsocialist.org.uk/news/item/ho...
- One of my favourite anniversaries today: 4 October 1936, the Battle of Cable Street. Very pleased to write an article in the Morning Star about the people who were there, and the urgent tasks for anti-fascists here and now. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/batt...
- “We stand in solidarity with those… being targeted because their protests are… illuminating actions by governments and state institutions that are criminal, corrupt or just wrong.” Statement by the Jewish Socialists’ Group. www.jewishsocialist.org.uk/news/item/st...
- Coming up this Sunday morning my next radical walk: “Activists, Militants, Pioneers: women of the radical Jewish East End”. Tales of anarchists, anti-fascists, strike leaders, street orators… Fee:£10/£7. Book at www.eastendwalks.com?page_id=82

- Starmer at the summit calling “illegal” migration the “driver of global insecurity”. Continuing, instead of challenging the British State’s shameful tradition of hostility to migrants and refugees. Boasting of Labour’s record of deportations. He’s the Far-Right’s wet dream, and our nightmare.
- I’ve just signed this - hope you will too. The time to fight back is now!

- Spoke last weekend in a workshop at SUTR’s trade union conference. We need to spend more time persuading people in our workspaces attracted to far right talking points and less time talking to ourselves in safe spaces: rebellion602.wordpress.com/2025/03/04/n...
- Excellent article by an MP who knows there is no glory in war, and knows who will pay the price in cuts of funding they need to find more “defence” spending. Time for other MPs to speak out too.

- This is very powerful. If the very right wing, pro-settler, UK Chief Rabbi (of the United Synagogue) reads it, he would/should be worried. Time for someone from the msm here to rise from their slumber, show it to him and ask for a comment. How about it?
- This is where I will be on Saturday. The fragile ceasefire is welcome, as is the deal for returning Palestinians and Israelis from captivity. Ultimately though, there are no long term solutions except those based on justice, equality and freedom for all from war and occupation.
- We have to prevent Robinson’s supporters trying to claim city centres but the hard work to turn the tide against the far right will rest on building local alliances defending communities attack and deepening anti-racist outlooks among the wider public.
- Well said Natalie - time for those anti-racists pro- migrant/refugee, pro-multiculturalism MPs and activists still within Labour’s ranks to stand and be counted.
- My speech yesterday for the Jewish Socialists’ Group at the rally before our spirited march against the Far Right’s mobilisation: rebellion602.wordpress.com/2025/02/02/e...
- Did you see the joint statement by Board of Deputies+Jewish Leadership Council on Elon Musk's Nazi salute and Trump's executive orders promising pardons/commuted sentences to the 1,500 white supremacists + Holocaust deniers, convicted after the riots on Capitol Hill in January 2021? Me neither!
- Pleased to be speaking at this protest late afternoon on the day of Trump’s inauguration.

- The British State's attack on democratic rights to march in London tomorrow against mass killings, near total destruction of basic infrastructure for life in Gaza by the Israeli military, the regular pogroms and burning of olive trees in the occupied West Bank, is a complete disgrace. 1/9
- This statement is a wonderful form of collective action that shows that the authorities need to listen to a much wider range of voices in the Jewish community than those whose main aim is to shield Netanyahu’s Government and the Israeli army from criticism.

- Jean Marie Le Pen is dead. Associated Press describe him as “a polarizing figure in French politics”. Way too generous. Call him a “Holocaust denying Nazi”, and save 3 words. No sadness in his passing. But sad that several countries in Europe and beyond are lurching towards the far right.

- Woke up to news about Mandelson being made UK ambassador to Trump’s America. Well they have the monster Epstein as a common friend and why wouldn’t Trump welcome the guy who said he was “intensely relaxed” about people getting “filthy rich”? Less good news for the world I suppose.
- Good letter. The speed with which western nations are using the regime change in Syria as an excuse to relieve themselves of obligations towards asylum seekers is really alarming.
- Horrific news from France. Rather than shock us it should tell us where relentless anti-migrant/anti-refugee rhetoric surging through Europe, fuelled by “mainstream” politicians adapting to far right arguments is leading. 1/2 www.bbc.com/news/article...

- Solidarity with Jewish faculty standing up for justice and equality.
- Shameful that Labour seeks to continue austerity here at the expense of retaining teachers and reducing schools’ capacity for offering innovative quality education. Fund and expand education properly through a wealth tax!

- x.com/davidjrosenb... I did a brief interview for a Turkish news outlet giving my perspective as a Jewish socialist and part of the Jewish Bloc for Palestine.
- Another big, multi-generational mobilisation by the Jewish Bloc at the demo for Palestine on Saturday. New banners and new faces in our bloc. Meanwhile Keir Starmer thinks it is cool to share a platform at the weekend with Israel’s far right ambassador here Tzipi Hotovely.
- Sickened by UK politicians blaming each other today over “migration failures” ie they haven’t kept enough migrants/refugees out. Then there will be crocodile tears at rising racism which they themselves have fostered. We need to celebrate migration and reserve our hatred for racism.
- Excellent thread - very sound approach to issues of antisemitism, other racism, zionism, anti-Zionism and instrumentalisation of the Holocaust.

- Netanyahu will keep his war going as long as he personally needs it. The ICC warrant for his arrest makes him more vulnerable. Across the world Jews have joined protests against war, genocide, ethnic cleansing, I will be marching with the Jewish bloc this Saturday. Please Join us!
