But I genuinely think this is a case where digging into it would help
So if your baseline is nine cases of antisemitism and one anti Israeli, if now the numbers are 12 and 8 then cases have doubled on the surface. I get your point about trackers and trends, but there are cases where it does not work. I don’t want to minimise antisemitism the dangers of antisemitism
Actually that is my main point really. Anti Israeli action protests or remarks are not antisemitic but some people think they are. That is why I ask if there is a review. This is a change in circumstances that may well be a bigger proportion than they were
I have no doubt antisemitism has risen. However the distinction between anti Israeli action and antisemitism is not appreciated by people offended
by action against genocide.
It’s not just those marches though. I have been told I’m being antisemitic for wearing a t shirt with a Palestinian flag. On several occasions. I have seen posts from people saying that the wearing of the flag is intrinsically antisemitic. That is a distortion as it is not antisemitism.
@quietriotpod.bsky.social the latest pod says antisemitism has doubled and will triple. How is this calculated? I see many people claiming seeing a pro Palestine march is anti semitic. So are the figures based on self reporting or are they analysed to remove these cases?

On JD:

"He's a hopeless, chinless, nazi Care Bear.
He just doesn't have it, whatever "it" is.
He's a charisma black hole.
He's the American Robert Jenrick."

We don't deserve Alex Andreou @sturdyalex.bsky.social
@ohgodwhatnow.bsky.social what an unbalanced discussion about Glastonbury. You consistently have spent more time talking about this kind of thing rather than the genocide being carried out by Israel. I’m out
You have to get Peter Fitzsimons back on. He was marvellous and this was the best episode of QR yet👍😄
@quietriotpod.bsky.social thank you Naomi for recognising PIP issues. I have ME and I can do things and then be ill for days. Rejected for PIP. Plus the report was full of lies😡
@quietriotpod.bsky.social Trump talks about Canada being teh 51st state. Given the size of a lot of Republican states surely it would be 10 states. That would change the balance of power in the USA
@quietriotpod.bsky.social hi. Kim Darroch is wrong in one way. Assets may be purchased out of post tax income but there are big capital gains involved. These won’t be taxed without iht. If you abolish iht tax the capital gain at the point of death. And index capital gains again
You should Shake It Off😀😀😀
Love the show but Luke Tryl is not a good guest. His defence of Badenoch was staggeringly mad and glad Alex called him out.
