Bruce Porter (antisemitism’, Echo 23/12/2025) has discovered an ‘elephant in the room’ that is the cause of the vicious hatred directed at Jews this month and for the last two years (and two millennia). Sorry, but it’s not an elephant, it’s a bull, and a very incontinent one.
I don’t intend to restate the history and politics of the Middle East that have been deliberately and unswervingly ignored by those seeking to burnish their keyboard warrior credentials, but if any of them can bear to read the truth, turn to the letter from Dr Nicole Phillips on the same page of that issue. It says it all clearly, concisely and accurately.
Thanks to The Echo for publishing Dr Phillips’ letter.
