“The implication that Jews might actively turn away from [the suffering of others] precisely because of our Judaism crosses the line from provocative opinion journalism into hateful invective.” The Chief Rabbi’s eloquent response to Peter Beinart’s latest attempt to defame the Jewish people – which found a very enthusiastic and welcoming home in the Guardian. Remember that it isn’t just Peter Beinart who has written this “hateful invective”, but the Guardian newspaper that has readily published it. The Jewish community and the wider public have come to expect this sort of hateful invective in the Guardian. But that doesn’t make it any less shameful. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/13/purim-is-not-a-celebration-of-slaughter-but-of-survival-against-attempted-genocide
