The event was unusual as it has become increasingly rare for Israel’s supporters to debate its opponents. From that perspective it is to everyone’s credit that they took part. The fact that it took place on the first anniversary of the Hamas pogrom on southern Israel made it particularly poignant.

There were also some interesting points made from the floor. 

The notes for my opening remarks are available to read HERE.


The aftermath of the 7 October Hamas pogrom in Israel has made the rethinking of anti-Semitism a more urgent task than ever. Both the extent and character of anti-Semitism is changing. Tragically the open expression of anti-Semitic views is once again becoming respectable. It has also become clearer than ever that anti-Semitism is no longer largely confined to the far right. Woke anti-Semitism and Islamism have also become significant forces.

Under these circumstances I am keen not only to maintain this site but to extend its impact. That means raising funds.
