One of my favourite photos I've ever taken. Over 10yrs ago using Pentax K20D with just the kit lens if I remember correctly. This is straight out of camera no processing or fake bokeh

The claim in Sir David Bell's report that 3 in 5 Jewish students have experienced antisemitism was based on just 29 people - and was untrue. My latest for Double Down Newswatch. youtube.com/watch?v=6pEiZYoR…

The government's antisemitism in schools report is a travesty. It's riddled with errors, distortions and contradictions. And it will be used to silence people over Palestine 👇 zeteo.uk/p/debunked-the-anti…

27 recommendations to the DfE. Based on 29 Jewish respondents saying yes to experiencing antisemitism. 24 hours later, it becomes government policy. This is f^cking insane.

Basic education piece: Not all Jewish people are Zionists. Lots of Zionists aren't Jews. The Board of Deputies largely self identity as Zionists. The Media often report the Board of Deputies as the opinion of Jewish people. Yet many Jewish people say #NotInOurName

This isn't tackling antisemitism. It is forcing a framework that makes teachers and pupils increasingly afraid to speak about Palestine. Our Government serves Israel. The End.
🚨 NEW: The Government has accepted all 27 recommendations from the report to end antisemitism in schools and colleges 1. Recognise antisemitism as a distinct form of hatred, not just general racism 2. Strengthen political impartiality guidance, including limits on teachers wearing pro-Palestine badges 3. Establish a national hotline for school leaders dealing with antisemitism 4. Improve teaching about contemporary antisemitism and modern Jewish life 5. Teach pupils to recognise and challenge antisemitic conspiracy theories 6. Include antisemitism explicitly in school safeguarding policies 7. Train teachers to recognise and tackle antisemitism 8. Work with the Home Office and the Prevent programme to help schools identify when antisemitism may be linked to radicalisation 9. Encourage schools to adopt the IHRA working definition of antisemitism 10. Improve procedures for reporting antisemitic incidents, including signposting 11. Ensure antisemitic bullying and complaints are investigated and acted on consistently 12. Make clear in staff conduct policies that antisemitism is unacceptable 13. Strengthen Holocaust education, including antisemitism's role in the Holocaust, and encourage schools to mark Holocaust Memorial Day 14. Create more opportunities for pupils to engage with Jewish communities, including visits to synagogues 15. Make sure Judaism and modern Jewish life are properly represented in religious education 16. Improve media literacy so pupils can also identify online antisemitism 17. Provide better resources for teaching the Israel-Palestine conflict fairly and sensitively 18. Ensure schools have clear policies for dealing with antisemitism involving external speakers 19. Ensure education unions have clear antisemitism policies 20. Establish a dedicated support service to help schools, colleges and councils deal with antisemitism 21. Use some of the Government's security funding to help Jewish schools and colleges undertake educational visits safely 22. Run a campaign to tackle antisemitic behaviour at transport hubs near Jewish schools and colleges 23. Provide Jewish school and college leaders with mentoring and more security advice 24. Strengthen accountability for schools that fail to deal properly with antisemitism 25. Enable Ofsted and the Independent Schools Inspectorate to assess how schools tackle antisemitism 26. Make local councils identify local patterns of antisemitism and help schools respond 27. Share effective practice and guidance between schools and colleges

Microsoft now ships Linux commands that run natively on Windows. Coreutils for Windows brings ls, cp, cat, grep, find and the rest of the classic Linux toolkit to Windows, so the same commands and scripts work on Windows, Mac, Linux and WSL. 5.3K stars. → one install: winget install Microsoft.Coreutils → the same flags and pipelines you already use on Linux → built on the open-source uutils project, packaged and maintained by Microsoft → switch off any command that clashes with your shell Still in preview. PowerShell needs version 7.4 or later, and a few commands like kill aren't included. MIT. github.com/microsoft/coreuti…

The Vandals were cops!!!
French Police rush to stop a group of masked thugs that have been committing vandalism. Then they stop. When they realize they are their Undercover Police mates.

This is sickening and antisemitic. An Iranian politician at his office filming himself tearing up a copy of the Jewish Torah book as he laughs. No wait, it's Michael Ben-Ari, an Israeli politician tearing up a bible for fun.

Israel is a political structure. It can change — even disappear — with no one getting hurt.
People of Ireland, part 3. Many of you told me: "We have nothing against Jews, only against Israel." How can you be against genocide, and in the same breath wish death on another people? And is this how you treat anyone else you disagree with? I'm waiting for your answers. @MichealMartinTD @EJAssociation
