#TomStoppard nailed it in this speech

A photo of my great Uncle Bobby, much mourned by my grandmother, who had this taken with her just before leaving for France
A week later he was dead

It’s unhelpful & a manifestation of discrimination against Jews
It explains his “unequivocal” support for the Israeli state, & his resistance to acknowledge war crimes, crimes against humanity, & genocide in Gaza
