Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, Shadow Foreign Secretary Lisa Nandy and many MPs and celebrities joined a 48-hour Twitter “strike” on Monday after being unable to temporarily remove anti-Semitics from their platform.
Wiley, a British rapper, wrote a series of anti-Semitic tweets over the weekend that remained in position for 12 hours before Twitter despite everything performing. Some of the tweets still appear in your account.
Among his many tweets are:
“You call me anti-semitic and you stole our land, so what’s the call, please? The robbery? Oh, are we going to accept it because the other are slaves anyway?
“Who writes the laws? Who adjusts the laws? Who is implementing the new laws? Who? What is 5%? Who are they all? Who runs the world? Who runs the banks? WHO WRITES THE LAW BOOK? Police? Who owns the police? »
“The Jews are cowards, I hope so.”
“Jew, okay? I mean Eastern Europe, Lithuanian or anything else, because ISREAL is a position of the black peoples.”
The “godfather of grime” defected through his Jewish manager John Woolf, who said, “Following Wiley’s anti-Semitic tweets, … we’ve severed all ties with him. There is no position in society for anti-Semitism.
The president of the Council of Deputies, Marie van der Zyl, said: “We, the members of the Jewish community, were dismayed to see that Wiley’s anti-Semitic racist perorata continued hour after hour with any Twitter or Instagram intervention.
Interior Minister Pri Patel demanded a “full explanation” from Twitter and Instagram as to why “hateful” messages were not deleted more quickly.
Facebook and Instagram have deleted Wiley’s accounts.
Dayanim blocks Simcha visitors out of town
The Dayanim Synagogue Federation has banned the United States or Israel from being quarantined for two weeks upon arrival in England to attend simjot or minyanim in the United Kingdom.
The Federation’s beth din, led through Rabbi Shraga Feivel Zimmerman, said: “It has caught our attention that other people have come to the UK from abroad, from countries that are still experiencing a widespread epidemic, which do not practice the 14-day quarantine.”
He said they “put the lives of others at risk.”
Simcha’s hosts, the dayanimes said, were “in charge of making sure that no one on such a stage attends their simchos.”
If they do, other people may not attend, they said.
The work apologizes, will pay for the damages
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer apologized to the High Court last week for his party’s defamatory statements about whistleblowers who have denounced the lifestyle of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party and agreed to pay thousands of pounds in damage.
The resolution was well received through the Jewish Labour movement, which said: “This is a significant replacement of the Labour Party that defamed whistleblowers last year.
Former Liverpool Jewish Labour MP Dame Louise Ellman told The Jewish Press: “Sir Keir Starmer’s decisive movements are very encouraging, her apologies for the anti-Semitism of workers in last week’s defamation agreement.
“But there’s a lot to do.”
Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has condemned Starmer’s government. “The resolve to resolve these claims in this way is disappointing and gives credence to misleading and erroneous accusations about measures taken to combat anti-Semitism within the Labour Party,” he said.
The Anti-Semitism Campaign is suspended by Corbyn from the Labour Party.
