Party chief Peadar Tóibín 'shocked and disgusted' after bigoted posts from private chat exposed Aontú has sacked the leader of its youth wing and dismissed five other members after it learnt of the existence of ­secret WhatsApp groups where some Ógra Aontú members posted racist and antisemitic comments. The Sunday Independent has seen a collection of the inflammatory posts that led Aontú to dismiss six members of its youth wing from the party, while three others remain suspended pending further investigation.

He said: Mandami is a job-killing socialist, and he's not a Democrat, right? He shouldn't be in the Democratic Party. He's an admitted socialist. He should be in the Socialist Party. And as good of a campaign as he's run, I have very strong disagreements with his views, whether you're talking about government-run grocery stores, obviously his continued anti-Semitic rhetoric, refusal to condemn phrases like globalizing Intifada, which is a call for the killing of the Jewish people.

Birmingham's safety advisory group is meeting next week and is expected to produce proposals about the extra resources West Midlands police would need to allow the match to go ahead safely with away fans. The force last week barred Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters from the match because of concerns that officers would not be able to police it safely. They cited violent clashes and hate crime offences at a Maccabi Tel Aviv match in Amsterdam in 2024.

The government has said it is "doing everything in our power" to overturn a ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans attending a football match in Birmingham and is exploring what additional resources could be required.

In a statement, Birmingham-based club Villa said they had been informed that local police had "public safety concerns outside the stadium bowl and the ability to deal with any potential protests on the night." West Midlands Police said they had classified the November 6 fixture as "high risk" following a "thorough assessment." "This decision is based on current intelligence and previous incidents, including violent clashes and hate crime offences that occurred during the 2024 Europa League match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv in Amsterdam," police said in a statement. In November 2024, that fixture in the Netherlands was marred by violent clashes linked to the crisis in the Middle East which left at least five people needing hospital treatment and resulted in over 60 arrests.

We are also immensely grateful to Gov. Newsom, Pro Tem Mike McGuire, Speaker Robert Rivas and to so many of our non-Jewish colleagues of both political parties who have stood as staunch allies in the fight against hate. Together, we will continue to fight to ensure that students of all faiths and backgrounds are safe, welcome, and can thrive in our schools.

as Candace Owens, Tucker [Carlson], etc. spread their Jews control everything' propaganda on the right, it isn't really Qatar that benefits, but China, wrote Erickson in a post on X. The Chinese have stirred the antisemitic pot, adjusted the TikTok algorithm to amplify antisemitism, etc.. All the people on the right suddenly blaming the Jews are not looking at China and the voices spreading the propaganda are silent on China and its influence operations, he added.

It's good to show we're not afraid to show our faces, said 68-year-old Jonathan Fitter, joining the crowds in Trafalgar Square on Sunday afternoon to commemorate the second anniversary of the 7 October attacks and the killing of two people at a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur on Thursday. Fitter, who is of Jewish heritage, stood with a large blended union jack and Israeli flag.

I think it's phenomenally tone deaf, to say the least, for so many people who claim to care about human rights and care about freedoms, to be taking police resources away from protecting the rights and freedoms of Jewish people to live their lives and go to synagogue in safety, all to support a proscribed terrorist organisation, which is not the same thing as supporting the Palestinians. The two are not the same. And I think it's remarkably self absorbed and insensitive to say the least.
