    Hot tip for anyone out there hating Israel: The best thing you can do to harm Israel is to make sure Jews outside of Israel are fucking comfortable living in whatever country it is they live in. Giving people incentives to leave is incredibly counterproductive here.

    That’s not why you shouldn’t be an antisemite - that’s just basic fucking humanity. But if your entire personality is consumed by nothing but hate for Israel, the best you can do is to furiously strike down on antisemitism.

    I don’t want to downplay or diminish the worries of my Jewish neighbours, but it would be interesting to see how the % compares with the % answer from the whole population. It wouldn’t surprise me if quite a few Brits are thinking of upping sticks

    Also there are different types of considering. I’m considering going for a run tomorrow morning, but probably won’t. But I’m also considering having another piece of cake.

    Fuck antisemites and those who can’t distinguish between a policy of a particular country, and those who have chosen not to live in that country but share a religious alignment
