This is misleading framing by the BBC.
Completely omitting from the headline that the synagogue hosted an event that was encouraging and facilitating Palestinian land theft.
Instead it’s worded as though a place of worship itself was the target.

BIAS
The same judge who is likely to sentence four young people as “terrorists” (even though they were not convicted of a terrorism offence) previously reduced violent far-right racist Tommy Robinson’s prison sentence, overriding an earlier High Court decision!

I've been wanting for years to write a piece about people living with dementia, to dispel the myth that you go from zero to 100% overnight. Finally, I have. My eloquent interviewees are reframing the narrative

The head of the newly-formed Reform Friends of Israel, Jason Pearlman, was until December a media adviser to Israel’s president Isaac Herzog.
Pearlman claims Israel has not committed a single war crime in Gaza.

The illegal annexation of Palestinian land by Israeli settlers is continuing at an accelerated pace, in spite of the US and the EU having promised to stop it.
UPDATE: Israeli forces evicted 15 Palestinian families – around 100 people – in Batn al-Hawa today. Their homes are expected to be transferred immediately to Ateret Cohanim, a settler organisation.
Over 1,000 more Palestinians in East Jerusalem are at risk of forced eviction.

Absolutely Lawless when it comes to killing and stealing land. Inside and out.
“Since 2020 Israeli soldiers and settlers have killed at least 1,100 Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank, at least a quarter of whom were children, UN data shows. No one has been charged over any of these deaths.”

I don't think I've ever read in a British newspaper or seen on UK TV, or heard on UK radio the phrase 'Jewish terrorism'.

Political commentator on Israeli Channel 13, Raviv Drucker: “The Shin Bet, the police, the Defense Minister, and the army are not dealing with Jewish terrorism—therefore we need to talk about it much more in the studios.”

As @AnneKarpf writes about memorial benches, it’s worth mentioning that bench plaques can serve as a source of political comment theguardian.com/commentisfre…

.@AnneKarpf ‘…the memorial bench evokes the vitality of the body and a person’s physical existence. Placed in a park, square or seafront, it returns the memory of them to the hurly-burly of daily life. Friends and relatives gather on the benches on the anniversary of a loved one’s death to celebrate their life and toast their memory. Unlike other forms of public memorial, such as a plaque or a tree, it’s a way-station for the living.’ theguardian.com/commentisfre…
