Examples

“Come⟳ on Jenny Manson, Naomi Wimborne Idrissi, Jonathan Rosenhead, Miriam Margolyes and the rest⟳ of you in the Asajew roundrobinocracy — explain⟳. Why in an "anti-racist party" led by a man who "abhors all forms of racism" it was the Jewish MPs Luciana Berger and Louise Ellmann who were the targets of their Liverpool comrades' venom, and not the anti-semite?”

“Such groups and individuals have⟳ succeeded in creating the new phenomenon of the "asaJew." "As a Jew, I can say⟳ that Israel is racist." "As a Jew, I am ashamed that a Jewish State is oppressing poor Palestinians."”

“The AsAJews get⟳ their name⟳ because they are addicted to that very phrase. We’ve heard it for years. As a Jew, I don't think⟳ AIPAC should dominate American foreign policy. As a Jew, I stand⟳ against the illegal occupation of Palestinian lands.”

“The further right or left you go, the more likely you are to eventually come⟳ around to hating Jews. On the left, this is plain to see⟳. From the Corbyn-era trend to attack Israel for all the world's sins, to the self-hating asaJews that tweeted enthusiastically about October 7 being a 'day of celebration' to previously vanilla comedian Reginald Hunter retweeting posts about the evils of the Talmud.”
