1/ The most chilling thing I’ve heard in relation to #LabourAntiSemitism is from the child of a survivor who told me that her father said that he remembers the same climate of hatred in the 1930s and said, “This is the moment that we should have gotten out the last time.”
2/ I am sure there will be people who lambast me for comparing 21st century Britain to pre-war Europe, so bring it on. But just remember, Jews living across Europe in the 1930s also never thought anything terrible could happen.
3/ Our community has a better understanding of history than @jeremycorbyn ever will. It is he and his followers who need to learn. This is serious.
4/ I seriously hope our friends such as @jk_rowling @mrjamesob and others continue to speak out. I cannot begin to tell you all how much it means.
5/ I also hope that my heroes @TracyAnnO @SussexFriends @GnasherJew @JewishLabour and others keep on speaking out.
.@rabbisacks is one of the greatest religious leaders and thinkers of our generation. It was a privilege to serve as a rabbi under him. He measures his words very carefully, so when he speaks, the world needs to listen. bbc.in/2wu16LJ
