    “One of the things I find most offensive is that I’m a self-hating Jew if I am loyal to that tradition of Judaism which has produced such figures as Marx, Spinoza, Jesus...It is a profound insult to the humanistic spirit which is at the core of Judaism.” - David Graeber z''l

    Yesterday, the co-owner of queer Yiddish anarchist cafe Pink Peacock was charged with breaching the peace for displaying a "Fuck the police" tote bag in his shop window. We interrupt our hiatus to bring you this disturbing story of police overreach. vashtimedia.com/2021/06/16/pin…

    86 years ago, working-class Jews joined their neighbours to fight fascism on the streets of London. The Board of Deputies refused to help them; the Jewish Chronicle downplayed the threat. Today we remember their bravery.

    Keir Starmer has – understandably – made antisemitism a top priority. Yet in so doing, argues @aronkeller, he's let other bigotries into his cabinet – including the kind that bullies black women, targets travellers, and defends transphobes. vashtimedia.com/2020/04/13/sta…

    The former Labour leader understands far better than his successor, who suspended him this week, that racism is born of a broken world, one we must utterly transform. @BarnabyRaine stands with Jeremy Corbyn – here he explains why. vashtimedia.com/2020/10/31/i-s…

    Edwin Montagu, who died 98 years ago today, was the only Jewish minister in the British government at the time of the Balfour Declaration. As an anti-Zionist he refused to support it, and feared it would "prove a rallying ground for anti-semites in every country in the world”.

    The UK Jewish press rightly devoted much attention to the murder of George Floyd. Why did it ignore the killing of an innocent, disabled Palestinian man by Israeli police, asks former @BoardofDeputies president, Vivian Wineman. vashtimedia.com/2020/07/17/if-…

    “The best thing about living in The Hague is that I’ll have a front-row seat when Benjamin Netanyahu is tried at the ICC.” @aronkeller meets @YuvalGal8, the anti-Zionist Israeli standing for @PolitiekBIJ1 in this month's Dutch elections. vashtimedia.com/2021/03/01/yuv…
