Adieu Ken Livingstone

By Jonathan Hoffman, May 6, 2012

Boris Johnson is a supremely gifted man. His command of the written and spoken English language is sans pareil. He writes at lightning speed. He has bucketfuls of charisma - his personality is as powerful at an Afro-Caribbean husting as it is at a Jewish Charity dinner or at Mayor's Question Time. He has impeccable judgment - he knows when to be jokey and when to be serious.

"Good Riddance"

By Jonathan Hoffman, April 19, 2012

Sir Geoffrey Bindman QC is a ‘human rights’ lawyer who has been riding the legal aid gravy train for nearly fifty years.

Conservative MP Demonises Israel

By Jonathan Hoffman, April 3, 2012

http://www.canterburyconservatives.com/2012/03/veolia-julian-brazier-let...

This letter from Conservative MP Julian Brazier to Eric Pickles – the UK Minister responsible for local government – shamelessly perverts the truth and is a prime example of how antisemitic discourse has entered mainstream political discourse in the UK

By Jonathan Hoffman, March 31, 2012

Remember the Crewe and Nantwich by-election in 2008?

Jews in the UK

By Jonathan Hoffman, March 25, 2012

Writing in the Jerusalem Post recently, Vivian Wineman says that Isi Leibler's column (March 7) is “a long way from reality” but promptly shoots himself in the foot by implicitly conceding (by not challenging it) that most of what Mr Leibler wrote was correc

Israel Under Attack - Media Falsely Portrays Her As Aggressor

By Jonathan Hoffman, March 12, 2012

http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2012/03/israel-under-attack-media-portray...

Perhaps the worst example of biased reporting to date was The Times of London. They ran a picture of the Israeli Iron Dome rockets launched to intercept and (hopefully) shoot down the Palestinian barrage, and labelled it as an Israeli attack on Gaza.

This is from an email but I make no apologies for publishing it

Naughty Jews... Stop obsessing about antisemites....
