Final picture from @bisa-bkk.bsky.social #CableSt90 discussion: the whole panel. What a great event!

And an invigorating and enjoyable third paper by @josephfinlay.bsky.social on the shift from forgetting to claiming Cable Street by the Jewish communal leadership.

Fantastic paper by @liamliburd.bsky.social placing Cable Street back into history (instead of mythology), reflecting on imperialism, antisemitism and police racism.

Great opening paper by Nadia Valman ( @cockneyyiddish.bsky.social) on youthfulness (and panics about it) as a key features of 1930s East End anti-fascism

My colleague @brendanmcgeever.bsky.social introducing @bisa-bkk.bsky.social’s #CableSt90 event. Really looking forward to hearing the speakers and conversation.

David Feldman @dmf101.bsky.social in @newyorker.com on antisemitism in Britain today and why the government's response falls short www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

The U.K.’s Antisemitism Problem

The British government has declared antisemitism a “crisis” after a recent spate of violent attacks. But will its solutions protect Jews, or make the situation worse?
