When the government announced the review, the terms of reference stated:
“It is not a review of the level of antisemitism in schools and colleges.”
Yet the alleged level because the headline - based on a sample of 70 students.
29 said they'd personally experienced antisemitism
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 👇

We need answers to this. It is a very serious issue.
The frustrating thing about the Bell report is that this is a v serious topic.
In the wake of the genocide I've no doubt this is a really difficult time for Jewish kids in schools, through no fault of their own.
A serious, professional study of the difficulties they face and a thoughtful, sensitive analysis of how they might be tackled - without victimising other children who are traumatised by the genocide - would be very useful.
Instead we get this half baked, amateurish, patently partisan hit job that basically extends the antisemitism smear to Britain's children.
It is absolutely shocking that the government has said it will simply adopt it unquestioningly. If implemented it is likely to do enormous damage to how other children view Jewish kids in schools.

Eliora Kolichman is a candidate for the opposition party Yisrael Betenu. Here, she is criticizing Netanyahu and Smotrich for being too soft on Gaza and calling for cutting off electricity and water and leading to a Palestinian state. This is the Israeli opposition. A different flavor of genocide.
Let's be clear. A closure/lockdown of Hebron means a closure for Palestinians. Israeli settlers will just continue their lives as usual.
Israeli PM Netanyahu says he has instructed the military and security forces to ‘immediately impose a closure on the city of Hebron’.
The move follows an early-morning shooting at the city’s northern entrance.

Can you ever imagine a BBC presenter saying "I'm sure many on the Hamas side would dispute the use of the word terrorism"?
They'd be sacked the same minute! Anti-Palestinian racism is so deeply normalized

The news site @MadaMasr has been a light in the darkness of Egyptian and Middle East journalism for the last decade, and @linaattalah the shining star at its helm. Frightening and worrying that the authorities should be coming after them now.
Mada Masr Editor-in-Chief Lina Attalah was referred to trial on Thursday on charges of establishing and managing a website without a license. Sessions will begin on October 27, according to lawyer Hassan al-Azhari, Mada Masr’s legal counsel, who described the “haste” in the trial referral, which came just hours after the interrogation closed, and its scheduling for the coming week as “unjustified urgency” given the absence of circumstances in the case that require rapid resolution. storage.googleapis.com/madam…

Boasting of ethnic cleansing
NEW: Netanyahu says he is working "a great deal" with third-party countries to facilitate the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza.
"The problem is the countries that would receive them. We are working on that too. I am working on it a great deal, and there are beginnings. I don't want to go into detail."

Escalating attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels have prompted the US to order some of its diplomatic staff to leave Saudi Arabia.
The latest attack killed two people - a Saudi citizen and an Indian national - at the King Fahd International Airport in the eastern city of Dammam last night.
Eight others were injured.
When planners cannot even learn from 9 months of recent history....
"Some US planners are convinced that an intensive three-day campaign could cause enough economic damage to change the Iranian position."
You would think they'd have stopped making these kinds of predictions eight months into what was supposed to be a four-or-five-week war nytimes.com/2026/10/21/us/po…

I worry about the 31%
Trump's approval rating fell to a record low as Americans worried about high gasoline prices and appeared ready to punish his Republican Party. Only 31% of Americans approve of Trump's performance, the lowest level in either of his presidential terms. trib.al/5hqEZ1P
On a Parliamentary delegation two weeks ago the excitement in Oman was very real. I had various protocol questions on dress etc asked of me as if I knew. What was extraordinary is how many Omanis including the Sultan (Oxford) have been educated in the UK.

Half a million Palestinians in Gaza could be cut off from food support provided by the UN’s World Food Programme.
The agency says it's being forced to make major cuts due to a lack of funding.
Two-thirds of Gaza’s population is already facing crisis levels of food insecurity or worse.
