Unsure if this is a victory for the left or the right? The answer is yes.

"#UniversityCollege #London has axed its dedicated #Antisemitism Programme Manager, a #UCL source told The Jerusalem Post on Monday.

UCL's Antisemitism Programme Manager position was started in November 2022, and has been held by #AnthonyOrkin for that whole period. It was the first and only dedicated antisemitism role at any #UK #university.

The source told the Post that the role helped to respond to an 841% increase in antisemitism reported through UCL's own Report and Support system in the year following #October7, 2023, "responding with sensitivity, expertise and urgency to an unprecedented and sustained volume of incidents, concerns and requests for support."

d’Verse Quadrille

The above poem is my take on d’Verse’s Quadrille challenge.

The Quadrille is simply a poem of 44 words (excluding the title), and it can take any form. This week’s challenge was to use the word “myth” in a Quadrille.

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!

"Years ago, at a conference on combating #antisemitism, the discussion turned to how best to train the police officers assigned to guard #Jewish institutions. When my turn came, I offered something less ambitious: make sure they have coffee, a sandwich, and a smile.

The room laughed. I was not joking.

#Shammai taught that one should receive every person with a pleasant face (bsever panim yafot, Avot 1:15). He was not describing manners. He understood that the way we meet another human being decides what becomes possible between us.

My own thinking was shaped by the experience of the #Jewishcommunity in #Turkey. In November 2003, #terrorists #bombed two of #Istanbul’s #synagogues, #NeveShalom in #Galata and #BethIsrael in #Şişli.

Among the dead were members of our community gathered for #Shabbat prayers and people who happened to be passing, including #YoelKohenUlcer, and also #Turkish police officers and guards[...]

Such antisemitic garbage. A non-Jewish Christian "friend of Israel" who wants Jews to leave our homes and move to Palestine. What a hateful bigot. #antisemitism

Rapporten som punkterar myten om vänsterns antisemitism

Nooshi Dadgostar har utstått mycket kritik för påstådd antisemitism inom partiet. Men en ny rapport visar på motsatsen, skriver musikern, konstnären och aktivisten Dror Feiler.
Rapporten från Forum för levande historia visar att antisemitiska föreställningar är vanligare till höger. Det visar att attackerna mot Vänsterpartiet inte motiveras av omsorg om oss judar – utan om att vinna poäng inför valet.

Exclusive: Coalition of Medical groups tells UK government not to enforce 'chilling' NHS censorship on Palestine
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/exclusive-coalition-medical-groups-tells-uk-government-not-enforce-chilling-nhs-censorship

from #MiddleEastEye
12 June 2026

A coalition of #medical associations representing over 13,000 #healthcare workers in the #UK is calling on the #British government to immediately pause the rollout of a series of measures that would censor pro-#Palestine advocacy within the #NationalHealthService (#NHS).

Last week the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) endorsed a review into anti- #Jewish hate and other forms of #racism in the NHS by the UK government advisor on #antisemitism, Lord John Mann.

The review recommends mandatory antisemitism training for 1.5 million NHS staff members, as well as banning them from displaying political symbols in the workplace and preventing them from attending #protests in their uniforms.
