00:00What I'm being very specific about is an arson attack is clearly a group of people being unsafe.
00:06That's an attack.
00:07At the same time, we've got groups like the Reform Party who put out a picture of me online
00:11where I'm dressed as a Nazi, an artificial intelligence picture.
00:15That makes me feel unsafe. That's very different to actually being unsafe.
00:19So what I'm talking about, and it's easy to clarify,
00:22is there are experiences of physical harm to people or to buildings.
00:25That's unsafety.
00:26And then there's a general feeling around Jewish communities right now,
00:29of which I'm a person in a Jewish community,
00:32a perception of unsafety because of a rising rhetoric that's happening towards Jewish people.
00:38Putting all of that aside, I think it's outrageous to see the Labour government in Westminster
00:44who are often politicising this attack against the Jewish person.
00:48I've been very clear, as have the Scottish Greens,
00:50that what we're seeing in Israel for the past few years is an ongoing genocide.
00:53And we have a Westminster government that's been selling arms and sharing intelligence with Israel.
00:58That's very different to anti-Semitism.
01:00And I know that you're better at this in Scotland,
01:02but being really clear about the difference between anti-Semitism
01:05and legitimate criticism of the Israeli government.
