What, aren't there any wells in England you could look for a Christian child in, Mr. Corbyn, whose blood was used to make matzah?
There NEED to be consequences for those who overtly lean into blood libel.

Tamkin imagines antisemitism is a partisan problem and rehashes every failed approach the mildly left of center US DemSoc crowd has proposed forever, like its new and provocative. 😴
"The question is not whether we should try to fight #antisemitism. It’s how. What if we took [Brett] #Stephens’s premise — that these efforts aren’t working — and imagined what could?
Since Stephens’ speech, our communal reaction has been too focused on the smaller-scale issues he raised. Was his critique of the #ADL reasonable? Was he right that #Jews are hated because of our “virtues and successes,” and that antisemitism is too powerful for appeals to tolerance and education to work? By focusing on such questions, we risk missing the bigger picture. Antisemitism will never be fully eradicated. Still, if, as one study suggests, some 45% of #Republicans under the age of 44 feel that Jews are a threat to the #American way of life, the answer can’t be to shrug."
Australia's royal commission opens inquiry into Bondi Beach massacre
Well it has started. I’ve put my first submission in. Mainly asking if they are going to put a proper definition of #antisemitism out. Didn’t really say anything else.
I think she will an excellent job with her brief. I doubt if will do anything on social cohesion but they will put some pretty words out on it. #royalcommission
In choosing to adopt the controversial & widely discredited #IHRA definition (doing so against the advice of many experts, including the author of the definition, who warns against its use for purposes linked to government regulative activity), the Royal Commission set up by the #Albanese #ALP federal government after the #BondiMassacre has now become the Royal Commission into Criticism of Israel, rather than what it claims to be, a Royal Commission into Antisemitism.
It is not antisemitic to uphold #HumanRights, #InternationalLaw and oppose a #genocide. It *is* antisemitic to conflate legitimate criticism of Israel with hatred of all Jewish people as such.
By making this move, the Commissioner has shifted the focus of investigation away from some of the very factors most responsible for the recent rise in *actual* hatred towards Jewish people as such. This will seriously impede the ability of the Commission to reach useful insights. Instead, it will likely result in shifting blame (implicitly or explicitly) onto those standing up for the lives and dignity of Israel's victims, including onto survivors, as well as relatives and friends of victims of genocide, torture, forced displacement and starvation.

“Racism against Sinti and Roma, along with antisemitism, is one of the key focuses of the new monitor, a long-term study commissioned by the Senate Department for Anti-Discrimination. The results of the study, for which more than 2,000 Berliners were surveyed, were presented on Monday at the department's headquarters.
Nearly 43 percent of Berliners surveyed believe that we should ‘finally have the courage to embrace a strong sense of national identity again,’ while almost 31 percent desire a firm assertion of German interests abroad and believe that Germany is ‘dangerously overrun by foreigners’."

As a Parisian Jew, I'll say this explicitly.
I'm quite sick of these "anti-Zionists" who proclaim that Israel is unnecessary while disparaging the thousands of French Jews who leave the country to live in Israel, all while making France uninhabitable for its Jewish population.
