In May, Rowling tweeted a congratulatory post in honor of Netta Brazilai, the Israeli Eurovision winner, again resulting in hateful responses.Most UK Jews in my timeline are currently having to field this kind of crap, so perhaps some of us non-Jews should start shouldering the burden. Antisemites thinks this is a clever argument, so tell us, do: were atheist Jews exempted from wearing the yellow star? #antisemitism pic.twitter.com/H5xLLXTdQO— J.K.

[Thread]A message to my fellow British citizens:When we say we're worried about antisemitism, we mean it. We're not pretending or politicking. We're not trying to get an advantage in the Israel/Palestine debate or about boycotts of Israel. We're not playing a rhetorical game.— David Hirsh (@DavidHirsh) August 17, 2018
