Hi all. A short introduction. Joined Mastodon yesterday on the instance mstdn.social and today migrated to this newly created eupolicy area given shared interest. I'm a professional and occasional journalist, passionate about politics, European and Latin American affairs and enjoy commenting on a wide variety of unrelated issues from culture to sustainability, transport through to urban design.

Please feel free to write to me in English, Spanish, French or Italian. Let's make this work!

London police say they have recorded an 1,353 per cent increase in antisemitic offences this month compared to the same period last year, while Islamophobic offences were up 140 per cent in the wake of the attack by Hamas on Israel, Reuters has reported.

There are just 145,000 Jews in London vs 1.3 million muslims. That helps illustrate the dimension of the whole thing.

Que conste, no tengo problema alguno con los palestinos. Deseo que pronto se liberen de la tiranía de Hamás y encuentren el camino a una convivencia pacífica con sus vecinos, entre ellos Israel. Sí tengo serios problemas con Podemos y Sumar, por su antisemitismo declarado y su apología del terrorismo, y con el PSOE por su silencio cómplice y cobarde. En España hay escasos judíos o palestinos en política o en puestos de influencia, y sobran necios defensores del terror.

Netanyahu es el Pedro Sánchez de la derecha israelí. Donde este para seguir gobernando se tiene que escorar cada vez más a la izquierda, Bibi se escoró a la derecha, dividió el país y solo rectificó tras la catástrofe. Quizás, en vez de criticar tanto a Israel, los sancheces y belarras de esta tierra deben mirarse en el espejo y ver como ellos mismos llevan a su país por el mismo camino pero en sentido contrario. Divide y vencerás también se traduce en, "siembra división y te vencerán".

Taking 24 hours to verify the claims of the former (due to their ability to do this), while taking two seconds to regurgitate the claims of the latter (since they don’t know how to or have the resources to verify them and so might as well just state them as fact), is not objective journalism and needs to be challenged.

The trouble arises when one side is a democracy, that communicates (more or less) transparently, provides evidence for its claims, and can have its opinions checked due to access to counter sources, and the other is a tyrannical regime that terrorizes its population to parrot the official line, provides no evidence of its claims and applies draconian measures on those who say anything “off message”.

The "traditional" media regularly apply groupthink and one of their ideas is that in any debate or conflict, both sides of the argument are always equally valid and they shoudn't take sides. In the case of the BBC, this even applied to terrorism from the IRA. The government banned Gerry Adams' voice being broadcast so they broadcast him with his words dubbed over his voice by another speaker. (1/3)

@Gargron The pogroms of the past originated in the idea, widespread among Christians, that the Jews killed Christ. Today, attempts are made to justify murders and killings of Jews by labeling their country and religion as "genocidal". It is happening on Mastodon and seems to be tolerated, as a result of a misinterpretation of the concept of "freedom of speech". The accusation is baseless. It is pure anti-Semitism. I am sure you appreciate this and won't turn a blind eye to this hate speech.

"El genocidio no es una atrocidad cualquiera, sino una muy determinada. No es una masacre o un asedio, es algo tan diabólico que cualquier violencia que se oponga para frenarlo está plenamente justificada. De ahí que la embajada señale el peligro que corren las comunidades judías cuando alguien atribuye a Israel tales pretensiones".

"Porque además también hay una causa que, para las belarras, justifica la invocación del genocidio. Hamas lo dota de significado cuando declara su voluntad de acabar con Israel, pero para las belarras lo que tiene sentido es calificar a Israel, donde viven y trabajan miles de palestinos, como Estado genocida". elmundo.es/opinion/columnistas

Que el Ministro de Exteriores haga declaraciones "diplomáticas" que parecen salidas del comité de negociación de la investidura de Pedro Sánchez es cuanto menos ridículo. El cuarto punto, sobre todo, sin decir qué tiene que pasar antes para llegar a ese punto, es puro postureo cara a la galería.

Yo no soy equidistante. Yo sí condeno que Hamás lance misiles contra sus propios hospitales y mate a centenas de sus conciudadanos. Es una barbaridad. Ojalá los palestinos también se indignen.
