Have yourself a Saturday Smile-y Christmas… with some silliness, if it’s needed. Merry Christmas.

Central London, during today’s Daily Constitutional.

Pretty empty, but not as empty as I’d expected, to be honest.

And yeah, it’s quite cold.

A Christmas Tale…

New on the BLOG | 2022 minus 08: And so this is Christmas [Eve]

Once upon a time, seventeen years ago, I wrote a story entitled No Time For It, and for some years, it was my traditional Xmas tale to repost.

Not for a very long time, though.

But hey ho. Or ho ho ho, anyway.

So, since it hasn’t appeared on the blog since 2011… here it is again.

Merry Christmas, all!

Almost back at the flat from today’s Daily Constitutional. Cold, wet, and miserable. The weather’s not that great either.

Haven’t plugged these for a bit, but since it’s relevant again:

My three part series on the blog on how tippexing out the word “Jew” and writing “Israel” or “Zionism” on top of antisemitic images doesn’t stop the imagery being antisemitic.

“No, no, that image isn’t antisemitic! I mean, it doesn’t have the word JEW in it!!!”

Yeah… yes it really is.

Longer opening explanation in the links below, but, basically:

…criticising Israel [its actions/government/politicians/policies/military] isn’t per se antisemitic.

BUT… if that criticism is expressed using the exact same words, the exact same lies and/or the exact same imagery, as has been used for literally centuries to demonise Jews, yeah that’s antisemitic, Israel references or no.

And if you insist on expressing your criticism by using classic, age old, antisemitic tropes and themes, antisemitic imagery, or antisemitic canards…

…then, yeah, people are going to justifiably - note that word - justifiably say “yeah, that’s antisemitic”.
