This is extraordinary and courageous research, published by Palestine Solidarity activist, Aiden Neal.

Spend time with it.

His work since December is clear. aidanmneal.wordpress.com

It was a pleasure and a privilege to participate at this year’s LCSCA conference organized by @davidhirsh.bsky.social in London.

@davidhirsh.bsky.social hat seine Beteiligung an der International Conference on Combating Antisemitism in Jerusalem in der kommenden Woche aufgrund der Teilnahme zu vieler RechtspopulistInnen zurückgezogen. Hirsh erkennt hier zu Recht eine antisemitische Gefahr:
