Cara Drook, Reclaiming La Belle Juive, (2022 –).
'"La belle Juive" translates to "the beautiful Jewess." It is an archetype of Jewish women that is repeatedly shown in paintings and media throughout history. "La belle Juive" is rooted in antisemitism and misogyny. My goal with this collection is to have Jewish women take control of their narrative and reclaim "La belle Juive." I want to return dignity to the subjects and show what truly makes Jewish women beautiful.'
Harvey Yesno signed a statement accusing the rap trio of supporting terror groups, which they deny
Anti-Israel rap trio Kneecap have brought a defamation suit against a Canadian indigenous leader after he signed a letter objecting to their planned performances at venues on ancestral lands in the country.
Harvey Yesno of the Eabametoong First Nation was a signatory to a statement posted by the Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem, a pro-Israel group for indigenous communities globally.
Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, Naoise Ó Cairealláin and JJ Ó Dochartaigh, known by their respective stage names as Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí, claim that the statement contained false and defamatory claims.
In particular, their suit centres on the allegation that it accused them of expressing support for the Hamas and Hezbollah terror groups and condoning antisemitism, which they deny.
O hAnnaidh was previously charged in the UK with a terror offence after a video which appeared to show him displaying a Hezbollah flag at a gig at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, north London, on November 21 2024, circulated online.
However, that case collapsed last September, with chief magistrate Paul Goldspring ruling the proceedings were “instituted unlawfully” as prosecutors had brought charges outside the required six-month time frame from the date of the alleged offence.
That ruling was later affirmed by the High Court, which rejected an appeal by the Crown Prosecution Service.
On Wednesday, an Irish court granted Kneecap’s legal counsel permission to serve notice of the suit on Yesno, in both Irish and English, in Ontario, Canada.
The group is suing for financial damages, claiming that the statement Yesno signed caused material damage to their reputation after it was widely picked up by media outlets.
Judge Cian Ferriter ruled that the group had an arguable case that they had been defamed in Ireland, allowing them to bring the suit in that jurisdiction, rather than in Canada.
He added that the three men’s reputations, as well as their identity with Irish language and culture, were “bound up” with Irish jurisdiction due to their citizenship and status as Irish public figures.
However, he did state that he was open to a prospective application from Yesno’s legal team to challenge the jurisdictional ruling.
Yesno is yet to publicly comment on the case.
the comment is the most succinct explanation as to why this conflict has caused such an explosion of antisemitism in Ireland and how badly misinterpreted the history is.
the video in general saying, “every region has its own Israel. every region has an oppressor country like Israel” is a level of unfathomable ignorance in the context of the Middle East alone.
Francois Letexier’s entry on the online encyclopaedia was altered after he came in for criticism over a number of contentious calls during t
The Wikipedia page for the French referee who took charge of the Round of 16 match between Argentina and Egypt on Tuesday was changed this week to state that he is Jewish, leading Egyptian fans to blame Israel, Jews and Zionism for their team’s loss.
Francois Letexier has been subjected to a slew of online abuse from disgruntled viewers following a number of contentious calls during the game.
These included calling a foul, with the help of VAR, that ruled out an Egyptian goal and giving Argentina what would ultimately prove a decisive penalty.
Much of the ire centred around claims that football’s governing body, Fifa, is biased in favour of Argentina and its star player, Lionel Messi, which have been prevalent on social media during the World Cup.
However, an Egyptian YouTuber with around 300,000 followers made a video the day after the match claiming that Egypt had “lost to Zionism”, citing Argentine President Javier Milei’s staunch support for Israel and suggesting a Zionist conspiracy is active within Fifa to advance the South American nation’s prospects in the tournament.
Subsequently, the “early life” section on Letexier’s Wikipedia page was altered to suggest he was born into an Orthodox Jewish family in Brittany and that his grandfather was an active member of the French Resistance during the Second World War.
The edit was made by a Bangladesh-based user, who later removed it citing lack of evidence, while another editor under the username “thepharoah17” added Letexier to the topic page for prominent French Jews.
In the wake of the change, several Egyptian fans shared screenshots of the page claiming that the referee’s now-debunked Jewishness played a role in his alleged bias against their team.
It was also shared by a number of prominent pro-Palestine accounts, including Rahmeh Aladwan, a British doctor currently charged with four counts of inviting support for Hamas.
The claim was even “confirmed” as factual by X, formerly Twitter’s, built-in AI chatbot, Grok, in response to users’ questions, though it later reversed its position.
The Wikipedia entry was subsequently reverted to remove the false reference to Letexier’s Jewish upbringing, with editors stating that there was no evidence to support the claim and no reliable sourcing confirming where it originated.
“only the most evil people would go to Israel” interesting because the people most likely to go to Israel for religious, cultural, or historical reasons, or because they have family and friends there, or for weddings and funerals, or to visit the Kotel or Yad Vashem, or to make aliyah, are Jews. I never see “only the most evil people would go” to any other country on earth that has even worse human rights violations and inequality. I’ve never seen celebrities who play in Saudi Arabia (since the NY mayor pulled this comparison) get cancelled for it. I’ve never seen people who want to explore their heritages in troubled nations get called demons and Nazis and colonizers. “only the most evil people” only one group of people is irredeemable to you, and it’s Jewish people.

What makes me really, really angry is how people on the left completely dismissed Lyndsey Fifield (Republican ex, was physically abused and held against her will) but are taking Jenny Racicot seriously (Democrat ex, was raped). Because there are two implications here: 1. Domestic violence is not a big deal as long as there's no sexual abuse, and 2. Domestic violence is not a big deal if it happens to The Enemy. And both are equally horrific.
Unfortunately for us, we've known 2 was true since at least October 8, 2023.
Something I think that a lot of leftists and progressives fail to understand, is that the push against normalization with Israel and for the complete dissolution of the state, actively makes the situation worse for Palestinians. It actively makes the conflict worse, and I would argue is one of the direct causes for the war getting as bad as it did.
You are directly harming your own cause.
Refusing to acknowledge the existence of the State of Israel doesn’t materially change the reality that Israel is a sovereign nation with over ten million citizens. When leftists in the west chant “from the river to the sea” and “we don’t want no two states”, regardless of the intention, what do you think Israelis hear? What do you think a people that has faced genocide in living memory, from which our population still has not recovered, gets from that? We don’t hear it and consider your points, we hear it and remember all of the times Israel has been attacked with genocidal intent, and only survived through our own defense.
And what does this ultimately result it? It results in Israelis who no longer believe in the peace process. It results in Israelis who feel a visceral sense of fear which leads to doubling down on national security. It leads to diaspora Jews feeling unsafe in their communities and immigrating to Israel.
It leads to the total dissolution of the peace process, and what happens if there is no chance for peace? If there’s no hope for any type of solution then the only answer is endless war, and this war doesn’t just hurt Israelis, you know that.
They're not harming their own cause, because their cause is not about helping Palestinians, it's about destroying Israel
It's not even about Destroying Israel--it's about harming and killing Jews.
Some great additions from the comments.

I got tired of online I/P discourse long ago, but the one thing that still hurts me is how it affects music. This stupid fucking “No Music For Genocide” campaign gets on my nerves. It’s just a way for artists to feel like they’re doing something important without doing anything actually important, which requires actual effort, money and self-sacrifice. Because I refuse to believe they think Bibi will get the IDF out of Gaza and sign a peace agreement because he can’t listen to the new Of Monsters and Men record (their pre-2025 music is still available in Israel). So many artists I wanted to check out at some point - my bloody valentine, IDLES, Hot Chip, Björk, Geese, Black Country, New Road (especially them, they’re the hot new chamber pop band and I love that genre!) - but now I don’t want to listen to them even though I still can, because they clearly don’t want me as a listener.
And then the other side is concerts. I love concerts, but I only discovered that after all the actually interesting artists stopped coming here. It seems like for the next decade - aka my twenties - I won’t be able to see anybody I want to, and my only options will be local Israeli artists, whose shows range from boring to insulting. All that because I was born in a specific place nobody likes. Well, at least Smash Mouth came. That was nice.

Seeing that Vogue photoshoot of Miriam Margolyes makes me feel ill... and of course someone gleefully tagged it "and she's pro palestine!" Because being the obliging token Jew who's willing to throw her own people to the wolves and say that yes, Jews have become Nazis and thus the ultimate evil that must be destroyed -- usefully disarming charges that such statements are antisemitic -- is adequately described as "being pro Palestine."
No doubt they'll turn on her soon anyway... and she won't even have to earn it by feebly condemning violence against diaspora Jews; just being a Jew is enough. After all, she's the one who admitted we're all monsters!

A massive banner reading “Destroy Israel” was unfurled at the San Fermín festival opening ceremony in Pamplona, Spain, on Monday.
The banner featured a crossed-out Israeli flag beside the slogan and the initials “EHKS,” referring to Euskal Herriko Kontseilu Sozialista, a Basque socialist organization.
Crowd members hoisted it above their heads in Plaza Consistorial before the chupinazo, the ceremonial rocket launch that opens the week-long festival, known worldwide for the “Running of the Bulls.”
I just think that if you’re a Spaniard attending Pamplona and protesting anything not explicitly pertaining to animal cruelty at the festival during which you and yours gather to watch and participate in the torture of thousands of bulls then you should probably pack your shit up and shut the fuck up. And if I might be so bold as to suggest reckoning first with your countries past and present antisemitism before making any such calls to violence against half of the global Jewish population.
tHeY with a hard triple parentheses I'm sure.
if you boycotted eurovision because of Israel’s participation I don’t wanna hear fucking shit out of you about the Iranian soccer team not being their government
#Especially when the Israeli artists aren't fucking kahanists#But the iranian team ARE islamists who mimed shooting at iranian diaspora when they flew the old flag
